new ship sounds cool I guess, assuming it's a decision made to replace the 4 man sloop idea.
I'm hoping that I'm wrong thinking some of this sounds like an NPC ship.
Kinda bummed about the pets, but I'm sure most people want content over cash shop items, and I can't argue with that.
I hope the captaincy update being pushed out doesn't mean more pirate legend stuff is also being pushed back. I seem to remember those being tied together, but I may be wrong.
New events sound cool. I hope they aren't abusable by server hopping, or my crew will probably hardly get to participate.
New unique rewards to claim is an interesting addition. Hopefully this means cosmetic rewards for activities, rather than gold.
I wonder if the hungering deep will have us finally face the entire kraken. Dunno what else it could be in relation to, but that's the first thing that comes to my mind.
Good stuff.
