Just the idea of crashing a server by handing someone a banana underwater makes me laugh so hard for some reason hahaha

[CaptainFalcore]

Damn you, I saw the notification and thought "Finally! Hungering Deep footage!"

[videocrap]

"Hey, CaptainHookHand69 can you spare a Banana or two?"

"Sure"

"Wait!! Don't hand it to me underwat...."

The transparency Rare provides us is unheard of in the video game industry. Thank you Rare, and keep up the hard work!

[TheStagGamer]

Excellent transparency again :) Nice work on the turn around with noticing the stability issues with the patch today and getting a working version to us. Ya know if you ever need some game testing/QA hit me up 😎

Can't wait for the new trailer!

*SUMMARY*

*In this week's update:*
- Released open & closed crews
- They noticed servers could crash when handing in resources to other players underwater, so they removed this feature. It will be added later, when the issue will be fixed.
- The higher your level is, the higher you chances are to get good stuff from quests (for all 3 companies). This means a high level player will (almost) never get Castaway chest, Foul bounty skulls, ...

You can check out the forums for a more detailed view of everything that's released in this week's update.

*Next week:*
They are working on colorblindness support. Next week, there will be a "toggle", so players can choose between a standard X and a high contrast X.
This is only the first improvement for colourblind people, more will be brought to the game later.


*/!\ Later this week: awesome new Hungering Deep trailer ! /!\*

Community in the forums really hoping on tattoos, hair color, and piercings! Me and me crew have been sailing since the first beta, we love the way this game is heading.

[Lavishgaming]

I will say the game is not in a place where it deserves my full attention. However, it is great to see the progress. I believe you guys will bring this to a place where it is as enjoyable as the first few hours I played.

[Sheft]

Great Work =). I Hope the Share Feature will come back soon. Realy Cool how fast u react with this video to the issues.
Keep up the good work

NO MORE CASTAWAY CHESTS AT LEVEL 35! THANK YOU

[GingerDwarf]

Another hefty packed update. Thanks again for working so hard guys. Absolutely love how dedicated and passionate you are. Keep at it!

[jonflores]

Rare would like to thank everyone who were dumb enough to pay $60 for an early access game, you guys are the best. just you wait for a couple of decades before rare actually finished making this game because 4 years in development is simply not enough :)

[cradac]

I myself am not affected by colourblindness but I love that you listen. Even if that's just a small feature it means the world to some fans. THANK YOU!

[RelyeaGaming]

I hope joe comes back soon. Loving the updates!

[lake_someone]

I truly love you guys because you tell us about everything and even mention your problems and what your plans are to solve them it’s amazing

[vanmaren]

The closed crews is the biggest quality of life change possible in my opinion, thanks so much!
