And I got used to playing alone in the first beta, but it seems like I'm going to have to spend more time on crews. That's fine, and it'll probably make things more fun.

I kind of miss the animation of boarding my ship. It seems a little odd to just click on a little boat, then suddenly I'm on the deck of my ship. And vice versa, when you click on "Drop anchor", and suddenly you're on land. I'd prefer that they have SOME kind of short little animation in between, similar to Toontown where you jump onto your racecar, golf cart, etc.
Yeah, it's not all that fun when more gold is coming out then coming into our treasure chests. But its okay to me, because then we are actually EARNING the better ships. In Phase 1, the baddies just floated and didn't attack. I actually feel more accomplished when I sink baddies now lol...

In regards to the new boarding animations, I think its way better. No more having to get on the ship before you run out of time. Also, grappling and boarding is a smoother experience.
