The ship based gameplay is fun and well designed, but any time you are not in a game and on the ship for any reason it for some reason becomes low budget bad design garbage (setting up a party, changing ship size requires restart, just finding tall tale quest start points youre gonna need google, losing ship randomly when on an island, using outposts which has no intuitive signage, load times on xbone garbage etc.). Play it with friends to attack / troll / pirate other players sure, but if you want to quest or "progress" in any way, don't bother.
