Played on release, how's the state of the game now?

Yeah I know, you've probably seen a lotta posts like this but it's hard to go through each and every patchnote. So I'll just get right into it, how's the core gameplay? Fire arrows still OP? People still sinking ships at spawn? Any way to safely store boats when offline? Is there still No land at all where to set up cause big zerg orgs have taken up every island? Ghost ships still make up most of the ocean surface?
