It’s a fun game when I don’t encounter anyone, but I spend most of my time just outrunning other players trying to kill me for almost no loot
If you don’t want to play on the PvE-only servers, you can always go to the lower east corner of the map, with all the volcano islands. I almost never encounter people around there.
Or you could play late night-early morning, when less people are awake in your region.
That’s the game. It’s the most emotionally compelling stealth game I’ve ever played. The tension is real.
They managed to make a game about piracy where the players actually care about the stakes.
I think that’s the game for you. My friends and I like to hang out, search for treasure, solve puzzles, and work together to bring down ghost ships. We don’t have any interest in sinking a real players ship, or running from a group of teenagers shouting slurs at us while they try to sink ours.
I think last season they introduced “safer seas” where you can experience the game without others players interrupting your crews fun. Might be worth to check out

They’ve added a feature called safer seas that removes PvP, Safer Seas.
