i have not played on the xbox in a few months i do not know when i stopped playing but it was when certain items where stuck in the account bank... there obviously have been alot of changes in the game.. for starters hardly anyone is in the chat which is crazy when i quit the game thats all anyone really did was talk in the chat now nothing... 2nd there are materials that i have that i honestly have no idea how to use but they are crafting materials... 3rd there is assignments idk what the hell that is but im confused on it as has something to do with officers that go and do something with my ships and i have to wait hours for them to finish.. no idea what they are for.. but can someone give me a summary of what is new and what to do now since everything has changed.. or know a link to a tutorial of some kind for the new content? thank you for reading and helping me..
