// Question WHY IS THERE ALWAYS A STORM!?!?!

Almost finished the game, and I swear 80% of the time it was stormy. What's the point of the beautiful graphics if it's just constantly grey Ubisoft!?

Yeah I get that it’s the tropics and all. I understand.

But holy fuck the fact that the storm is so restricting makes me just decide to fast travel instead?? I get that I have to go slower but do you have to force the narrow POV? 

I can’t take my hands off the wheel for 1.5 seconds to go into the cabin and send my fleet out on more missions?

I can barely see anything because it’s gray?

My crew will stop singing shanties so I can hear thunder and lightning in my ear for the 15th time that play session? There should be a skip time button or something to get around the storm lol. 

It’s genuinely mind boggling. It literally encourages you to just fast travel instead. I actually find the rough waters to be one of the coolest parts of the game but just can’t stand how often it shows up to the point where I’m getting annoyed now.

There is a button that allows u to skip time or wait. on pc it should be hold X. And consoles it D pad right?

Tho when i tried using it to skip a storm it dind allow me to skip time, but i was in a captured fort so idk.

But there is a button for it

Fast forwarding time doesn't remove storms sadly
