Ubisoft tried cramming all these stupid carrots to get you to be social on uplay (Because they must think Steam is successful because people use it as a social base instead of it being the easiest and cheapest way to buy games) but the fleet part is the worst. It's as if they built the system from the ground up to entice you to find a friend to tag team it with.
Really I wish they would have completely dropped the fleet system. It's trivial, slow, boring and the only gameplay is pressing the I-Win button that is the fire barrels. It would have been cool if instead you could capture ships and assign them to patrol around a fort you capture (with maybe two ships max per fort). And if they sunk a ship you'd get a cut of the loot. You could also see the ships sailing around and high-five them when you pass your forts.

fuck spanish ships, I only capture english ships so they are all HMS's, even though I'm a welshman my loyalties lay with the British Crown, not the spanish infidels who have been polluted by moorish blood. I wish there were other nations flying though, where are the dutch, french or portuguese ships.
the fleet stuff is interesting, while it is trivial playing with the tablet app is fun enough for 10 minutes a day. It also is a great anti piracy tool, since you can't ever do it without a legit uplay ac4. There is definitely a lot more they could add, and I would guess ac5 does integrate it even more.

Best Buy is selling this game for 30 bucks on PS3, Xbox360, PC, and Wii-U. If you have Gamer's Club Unlocked, it knocks it down to like 24 bucks.

for ps4 at least there was a patch today that broke multiplayer, and is resetting people to level 1. I guess they took the MP servers offline for now, but just as a heads up don't enter MP until its confirmed fixed.
hopefully the patch fixes the social sharing stuff, I haven't gotten any of the whale/chest/convoy sharing shit and I've sailed the seas for a good 20+ hours over the last month

I'll be adding you guys this weekend, hopefully you'll still be playing. Some of the friends list things are pretty rare, I've come across one friend chest after like 20 hours of playtime.
Having a fairly large friends list is also a great way of getting a crapton of fire barrels which helps make the mini-game a bit easier too... 70 speed schooners are great for taking out gunboats and there are a fair number of long-range missions that go quite a bit quicker between the 70 speed schooner (20 cargo space too) especially if you've had someone on your friend list cut that time in half.

It's worth doing everything other than going out of your way to get every single treasure chest or animus fragments. Those don't really do a whole lot for you, and some are really tedious out in the middle of nowhere. I always snagged the ones that were in towns, but I never bothered stopping on deserted islands for them.
