Then somewhere around Aug 26th it begins to show a regular pattern of player spikes and lulls coinciding with the time of day (not a lot of people on very late at night/early morning). What is interesting is that if you look closer at the data shown, the earlier data shows almost no lulls in players even during off peak hours. Looks more like a playerbase stabilizing after release hype to me, which happens to lots of games. That's a laugh this game has been around to year almost three people just learn to get better at the game and i'ma report you for bypassing the swearing filter and I just checked today and there still is a lot of players on steam so sit there be quiet and BLOODY NO MORE PVE THREADS said in Rares poor approach to banning toxic players.: Unless Rare finally puts their foot down and does a quality of life update and takes action this game wont be around long. The quality of life in this game is so pi$$ poor people are leaving in droves and Rare doesnt attempt to do anything to solve the problems constantly brought up. Ive also seen players hide their own ship and camp on the island just to raid a ship and spawncamp, or bring a powder keg onboard for the sake of sinking it. You have brigs that circle around world events such as ashen lords waiting to kill anyone who comes close (without even doing the event) just foir the sake of sinking ships. In any fight the more people on the ship the better advantage you have so a solo sloop all you can do is run, you cant repair, shoot, and repel invaders at the same time not to mention brigs and galleys have more cannons so a full sloop is still outmatched.

2 to raid the vault and 1 to watch the ship. If your a solo player its impossible to do anything in game as you cant watch your back and any in game event like ashen lord or a vault requires 3 at least. In 3 months the game has lost 20k players on the PC side and the reason is the same thing every toxic player flames, toxic behavior and the need to sink ships on sight. If you dont believe me take a look at steam charts for the PC playerbase This game is extremely toxic and it shows in the severe drop off in playerbase.
