You should get everything that is in hold. It is something else. Issue is being investigated 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why every ship I sank only had like rig repairs left and odd numbers like 7. Think it might be across the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working as intended? What happened to the rig repairs and half his hull repairs? Checked. Its a feature - not a bug It has been in the game since Summer 2017 If you captured a ship you get full loot, everything in the hold is yours. If ship is sinking , parts of the hold are getting filled with water and are inaccessible, thus you cannot get everything and only get part of the loot. This mechanic does not affect ability to remove 1 upgrade from the ship that is always available. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Executioner Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Alright, cool thanks. Yeah me and greasy were unaware if it was a bug or not so we decided to hunt for it and record it and ask. Thanks for the info @admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NethrosDefectus Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 So to confirm, the longer it takes to get to and loot a sinking player's ship, the more repairs are lost as the ship goes down? So for example if a ship has 100 hull and rig when it actually "dies" and the ship is halfway sunk when you loot it then you'd only get 50 of each?

So often I find empty shipwrecks of enemy ships... Then all that means is that a player has to work to board a ship, not just turn it into the wind and rage board. Explain how that is a bad thing?

NethrosDefectus Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Has the rate at which repairs have been destroyed increased recently? It seems a lot more noticeable the last few weeks than before. Could it be related to the ships now taking longer to go under, and that we are just noticing it on ships that ordinarily we just wouldn't have been able to loot before? Either way I feel the rate could be tuned slightly, being able to loot repairs at sea helps prevent you having to return to port as often, therefor increasing potential PvP opportunities by keeping more ships out on the water for longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now takes 3-4 ships to board 1 smoothly. Again, why is that a bad thing? You must admit turning a ship into the wind and boarding right at the start of the battle and then having 2 or 3 other ships graping is terrible for gameplay and the game in general. Boarding should be an opportunistic thing, not the cheap easy way to victory that it has become. And if you want to rely on boarding to win your battles, then you should still have to work for it.

I tend to agree. DD is annoying but rage boarding is even more annoying. 2 proper shots by grape into stern remove DD if you are in the equal ships. Remember that HMS Victory commandeered by Nelson could not board French Third Rate Redoutable for 4 hours and failed at all attempts, while being stationary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get more hold from sinking ships in the next patch. work around if you boarded the ship - pick repairs first (to not lose some of them when it starts sinking) then sink him (you can pick up a pvp upgrade after - it will drop after you sank the ship) if you sank the ship some cargo will be lost 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
