How can you call this a PVE game? The rewards aren't worth anything ultimately, they're only a reason to move around the map. The only thing that "increases" is your Faction Ranks, and that only leads to more complex, longer missions with higher gold rewards to buy shit that is ultimately pointless. The risk is encountering real humans who will fuck you up at any turn. And if you're playing solo, that's an additional risk you take. The single person ship is faster, easier to adjust sails into the wind, and four times as maneuverable as the galleon. Playing solo is bullshit until you really know what you're doing (like if you have a bunch of chests, running your ship nearly aground right next to the turn in, because your ship is ultimately expendable). Hell, playing the 3-4 man game is painful unless everyone knows what they're doing. But it's not like it has some steep learning curve. If you're playing this game for PVE, you're doing it wrong.

If the rewards aren't worth anything why do I care if someone tries to, "fuck me up" and steal shit that doesn't matter and sink me? Other than the fun of doing that a few times.
I like your comparison here to GTA online. Which is a good one because GTA online gave new life via Twitch role play channels/etc/shenanigans to a game that was well worth the price for the campaign alone. This doesn't have that.

I just got this game and I never played alpha. So far I've turned in 3 or so of the Gold Hoarder chests after going on the Voyages and I've got zero gold or any other kind of rewards for them. I'm turning them in to the same guy I bought the voyage from.
Is this just bugged or am I doing something retarded?

Yeah, my brother and I ran a few missions last night and got 0 rewards. You saw the + gold in the upper right, but the gold never increased from 0. We stopped after 3 missions. This game has the bones of an awesome game, but none of the "guts". I've been playing since alpha and not much seems to have been added, beyond a bit of polish.

Had a similar problem in the betas where the databases would get heavily out of sync, so your Faction Rep and Gold amounts wouldn't update until 30 minutes later. You'd think folks would have had database lag figured out by now....

For that to not be shit it also needs several other kinds of ships and a variety of weapons.

Game is just extremely shallow. You're playing for nothing but cosmetics and honestly it's really repetitious. It's fun to take some friends and experience the first few times but you really find yourself doing much of the same for what I think is little rewards. Don't get me wrong, it's a great start to a game but to me it feels more like when a game offers an alpha with a single game mode or map as a preview of a game.

pirate game with only two ships. Sid Meier would have pissed on this.
That actually literally is what a pirate is.
It even applies to software piracy for a change.

Meh, we can debate semantics, or we can just agree that pirate has a special definition of a guy who wears a special hat, has no teeth, drinks plenty of alcohol, and usually has a parrot on his shoulder.
In order to "feel" like a pirate though, you need a governmental figure there to give you shit.

End of the night. My ship was sunk outside the skull event (we sunk theirs, too). My crew logged off. What did I do? I waited on the skull island, alone. Then when a single sloop came in, I swam out to it and boarded it while the Captain was diving for a ship wreck.
Then he became the ship wreck.

If this was an FPS that would be valid. What can players create with each other? There's no loot, nothing to trade.
This game needs to either go full on battle royale pure PVP, or add some RPG elements. Kill shit on islands, loot items, find a cursed ruby you can either sell or attach to a sword for +1 Skelly killing. Fucking something. Buy spices on one island, sell to another pirate heading to a far off island chain.
Sid Meier's Pirates! and Puzzle Pirates! are deeper pirate games than this by orders of magnitude.
