i felt a bit underwhelmed by the boss battle too, as its nothing ive never done before in some fashion,

solo'ing the officers during the first part felt simply like a flashback to when i was a lil level 20 and solo boarding the man o wars, same tactics, involved some running and attuning, life drain etc, rinse repeat.

the 4 frigates were jokes, even solo as they couldnt do enough damage in the the time that it took to go to cannon to cannon and take them out, ive been hit harder simply sailing into a pack of panthers while sailing.

the forts were ok, but, still not to anyone with a high damage cannon skill or mastered cannon etc who could aim well enough to hit a fairly large object sitting STILL.

the goliath was basically a juggernaut, and like the juggernaut, is driftwood to a few high cannon levels.

as it stands right now, since it encourages crew, and considering its the last quest so far, i think they should have expected multiple mid to high level 30's and even a few 40's doing it because of the long wait, lots of people had time to level weapons and not, and the average completion of quests for my friends is around 32-36, so disney shoulda saw that the challenge was not gonna push any of the combined players' abilities at all, hard to get excited because honestly, that many level 30+ people really can do insane damage.

the pearl "battle" was nothing but a slaughter, the difficulty needs to be ramped up so that its challenging for multiple people, not just the adults, cuz most of my friends arent, and they have made it through just fine.

i feel like a wet blanket but, as far as ive noticed, everyone ive done it with, have complained or expressed their surpise at the ease of it.
