Allow 2 ships to join a server together if in the same guild.

  • A max of 4 players is too small. I have extended family totaling 7 that want to play together and we can’t. There are plenty of videos on this showing that people want to have more than 4 players.

    If the game already allows for 2 ships to form an alliance, why would it not let those ships ever be able to experience that together again?

    Please allow up to 2 ships to enter the same server. This would be so cool!

    "Can't" but you can. It just takes time to setup.

    Just two?

    Alliance servers. That is a topic the Dev have said they do not really want to become a thing. It not a hot topic or issue now, but it something they monitor. So No.

    You’re only speaking for yourself. There are ways to make this work.

    As for the “one way” to make this work. It’s very “hit or miss”. My wife and I got it to work on first try a couple nights ago. Then everyone was ready to play together tonight and we tried 12 times and didn’t get into the same server.

    If this is such a problem in High Seas then put it in Safer Seas.

  • The developers already dont want people having a direct advantage over others by joining the same server since if people are working together externally it means any single crews are at a direct disadvantage.

    The only way it would not be unfair is if it made all 6 ships in a server be 2 crews paired together from their own guilds, which is not going to always be able to happen to fill a server. Likely it would be a pretty long wait.

  • Things can always be adjusted in game. We don’t have to imagine it’s just as simple as throw in 2 ships just how they normally come in. Maybe those ships are given less speed or cannons? There can be a lot of other ways to do this.

    Alliance servers does seem like a good idea. Yeah maybe hard to balance and like you said, wait times would probably be higher.

    Would also make it easier for pre-made alliance servers to be created, instead of having to get 6 ships, now they can half that by trying to get 3 alliances on the same server.

    He didn't say it doesn't work...just needs time to setup. And he's not speaking only for himself...I got the same opinion regarding this...

    As for the “one way” to make this work. It’s very “hit or miss”. My wife and I got it to work on first try a couple nights ago. Then everyone was ready to play together tonight and we tried 12 times and didn’t get into the same server.

    As been said.. it takes time

    If this is such a problem in High Seas then put it in Safer Seas.

    Safer Seas is just 1 ship

  • @schwammlgott his suggestion would be to add more ships to safer seas, I could see this being an option but you would have to nerf the gain even more or just not share gold with the other members of the alliance.
    Honestly, the game balance requirements to prevent abuse and high seas not being a better option would be a bit too hard, on the other hand it would allow friends with the same skill level to practice ship vs ship combat.
    There's positive points to this idea besides just playing with a bigger amount of friends but the fact that 2 ships get more loot faster makes it a pain to balance and the devs want to prevent people just spending all their time in safer seas when this game is built around interactions with other players.

  • Maybe one day Rare will expand on guilds and figure out some activities multiple guild ships can do together.

    I seriously doubt they'll ever allow multiple guild ships to team up in High Seas though, and I agree that it's probably a bad idea.

  • We have safer seas. Might as well.
    (Keep asking and eventually they will apparently 😂

    How do you know this? I never in my 6 years attempted or tried to join an alliance server. Ive been invited and know people who tried, even watched videos. It a long setup but works.

    My wife and I got it to work on first try a couple nights ago. Then everyone was ready to play together tonight and we tried 12 times and didn’t get into the same server.

    Yup, Lucky first try. It never works as much you want, but that why....when people have one Made, they never shut it down. Keeping there pirates ingame 24/7, swapping places with people different timezones... It a 'business'

    If this is such a problem in High Seas then put it in Safer Seas.

    As the Dev said, SS will never have a feature that HS doesn't. SS just has limits for what can be done ingame.

  • They should allow this for safer seas which is meant to be played with family members anyway, but bringing more than 4 working together in a server would put other crews at a massive disadvantage.
