Ahoy Pathfinders!

Over the past week, the crew have been engaged in deep discussion over our core design and philosophy of the game. We’ll be making changes based on your feedback and our internal reviews over the past 5 weeks. This Captain’s Log is going to go take a high-level look at our plans going forward!

the Golden Age of Piracy!

We recognize that the game has a lot of fun mechanics and gameplay that players enjoy, especially when you can live out your dreams of being a pirate. However, the feedback we often receive is that it’s too tailored to large companies, alpha groups, and hardcore players.

A large number of you have expressed that you are unable to make enough progress to reach this stage of the game, due to our hardcore design. Our thinking going forward, with the community’s help and feedback, we plan to make the game less punishing and reduce the steep climb required for players to reach the parts of the ga...

I would like to see what is being done to fix the bugs for the endgame of this game. We did our 4th real attempt on the kraken tonight and it just seems to keep doing things like this https://clips.twitch.tv/PopularCrackyMagePrimeMe . The fight itself is pretty simple it's just buggy. We have encountered 3 bugs. The first one we noticed is that the ships of the damned are invulnerable to player attacks. The second thing is that the game randomly kills everybody on your boat. The third is that the encounter will randomly sink ships with no known cause. For balance changes the knockback from the tentacles is frustrating, we have enough practice with it that it is possible to recover it's just annoying. The other thing that should be put in is an area where you know when the boss will pull if you cross it. I have a bunch of clips of random things just killing us. I heard a rumor that if I get 200 likes then somebody from g...

Thanks for sharing, we'll check out the vod to see if we can identify the issues and have them resolved as soon as possible. The 200 upvote thing is to just draw something to our attention, doesn't necessary mean a response is given :P but this certainly should be something we need to investigate.

You should think about asking to put your company PR / community manager and team as the only mods given that you own the IP to the game. If they won't hand it over, Reddit should force them to. Copyrights and editorial freedoms are one thing. Damaging your game's image with this kind of abusive (I'd qualify forced censorship of Redditors in this context abuse, as would Reddit) behavior is quite another. If it keeps up, people have stated they'll report, and if that happens the mods or sub are potentially removed. It's outrageous that random people can register these subreddits out from under the game developers and cause so many issues. It's fine to domain squat, but when you start damaging potential income from any business, it's court-worthy and given the history of subs, Reddit definitely doesn't want any part in that.

Reddit isn't our platform, nor are they typically fond of corporations owning communities related to their businesses on it, which is why we'd prefer to use a community run one. MisterWoodhouse has been a part of the management team for a lot of subreddit, large ones too and always enforce Reddit's rules fully, whilst being 100% impartial. I know folks are upset because they think he's being biased, but that isn't the case. He's always allowed folks to be critical of our choices and our team, as long as they're upholding Reddit's TOS.

Known issue that we're looking into, we've temporarily disabled requiring the Power Stone from the Ghost Ship for the Kraken Fight.

In response to your question, no, that's a little tinfoil hat-ish. Also we can find out the steam id of players we are investigating via other methods

This might be something you'd be interested in, a mod made by the community which resolves characters which do not display in game.
