Difficulty in getting on Public Ships

[The Skirata Clan]

it happens to me all the time. that's why i'm in a crew i always tp rather than use the dingy. i get to hear the battle, sink, and get the spoils, but won't play.

And here I thought it was just me! I feel so silly when my friends and I go out plundering because we'll wait for the captain to repair and then she'll go out on the ship. Instead of using the dingy that's like two spaces away from me, I teleport to her because I know it'll load eventually. That's not the case with me when using the dingy. I've gone through ENTIRE trips sometimes where I would just see the loading screen. From the time we leave port til when we get back! I'll just be there twiddling my thumbs hoping for it to load while I can hear them sinking ships. I still get the plunder, but that's no fun to me because I actually want to help sink the ships. I feel like a freeloader when it doesn't load for me.
