What is the "Players" list?

Ok, I saw this on test, it came with no explanation.

I see it now on open, still no explanation.

They removed the quite useful crewlist, and replaced it with this "Players" list.

I have yet to see it serve any purpose whatsoever.

Can someone enlighten me?

My best guess, and it's only a guess, is that it will eventually be used to display the xD friends list since they currently don't show up on the regular friends list any more.

Ah so it has yet to serve a purpose that we can determine.

Thought I was missing something somewhere.

Thanks

My theory, is that it is supposed to show all players nearby, on-compass. As of today, it still does nothing.

IDK why they renamed the "Friends" button to "Pirates." The short-cut key is still "F"...makes more sense to call them "friends" to me.

It will be for DxD friends, remember on the old layout? Show players?

What would be the purpose of showing DxD friends? I guess I might know if I had some there, but I thought the point of that was linking other Disney stuff more so.

I agree on the renaming from Friends to Pirates doesn't make sense. Of course they are pirates, what else would they be?
Showing nearby pirates from the compass though that is an interesting idea.

I too think it will show your DxD frineds. Keep in mind that if you do the DxD and have friends there, you may not have them on your Pirate Friends list for inside the game. This would be a way to keep up with them in the game, crewing and chatting, etc.

Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but do a lot of people even use the DxD friend thing? I know I personally don't...

At this time it still does nothing, just like the code button on all the items list you own. Speculation, is all that can probably be done with these with no announcements.

There's a link on the POTCO site called "Player's Page". It takes you to DXD so there's a possibility this "Player List" may have something to do with DXD.

Well a list of DxD players in the game is a waste of space for me.
Eliminating the crew list for a DxD list to me is like buying $1 bills, for $20.

Gotta love how they dont give us what we want, and keep wasting our time with what they think we want (you'd think what we ask for is what we want.. wouldnt you?)

brotha,.. I had to take three on that,.. I had a Joshamee Gibbs moment hahaha!

Oh me,...
so,.. to the point,..
I heard at the scuttlebutt that the players Tab is for future use, but group play like in, say,.. PVP mayhem where there is a group attacking but not necessarily each other, but not in crew, same with SVS grouping and group attacking on large beasts...? should be clearer soon I suppose?
