As I write this, half a dozen Pirates in Le Req's are ganking around kpr, of course, superior numbers of players in REAL ships are going out to do battle, but to what end? the Le Req trickship just runs upwind and no-one can touch them. I even chased one DOWNWIND in T/T Bellona , copper plated, Bovenwinds, hull refit still can't catch the bloody things. And I f we do sink one, well whoopydoo! they just get another tomorrow. Congats devs, I think this time you've really done it. I hope the revenue from the DLC sales is worth it. Pissed off, may leave. Are your kidding?? A teak/teak ballonia should not be able to catch xebec whatever the mods!!! You moan about not catching them yet you all come out in big fat slow ships against light fast raiders. The battles were 12 - 16 vs 3 - 4 how is that a gank?? Lmao. The 'gankers' on two seperate ocassions let two noobs in OW battles leave once we saw what rank they were. Also most of the fights were against rear admirals not low level players and you guys had plenty of chances to sink us. Stop talking BS and git gud. #mybigshipdontwin Edited August 19, 2018 by Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, wadda you expect them to fight your uberships in, little 60 man Privateers and Pickles or something? Princes and Rattlers with half the number of crew or perhaps much less?

Hethwill Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 1 privateer and 1 prince, handled by proficient captains, will dispose of a xebec. but still, 2 captains tied up for 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DONT WANT THAT STUPID OP MONSTER OF A MISTAKE TO THE GAME. If I bought it, I would get stuck like so many of you just sailing one ship. That’s pathetic.

Slim McSauce Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I hope all this drama with the DLC ships doesn't spill over into next patch. The last thing this game needs is a pay2win issue going into the new economy, of all things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true they really can't touch these ships because they didn't read the terms of steam or acted hastily because they needed money to finish the patch, we're gonna feel still feel the salt from that come the future. like I never imagined DLC ships, I thought paints where gonna be the money was at since ya know we've been asking for them for years and that's what was promised originally. It never crossed my mind that we needed free redeemable ships in the game and I still don't really see why that decision was made when the effects from it are very negative in most aspects.

Unless they can somehow balance the distribution of these ships, or limit them to OW only then they're going to continue to dominate. Even if we buff ships around them, it will still be the best 6th rate with it's crew count and manueverability. Same with the herc being having absolute monster firepower.

You need to relax and understand that this game has changed so many times in the last three years and it will again. You like things your way, well life is not like that. Let the devs, develop.

The mid level guys are fighting the new ships well, but then no one has told them how unsinkable they are and they are not on the forum. Ssshhhh don't let them know that they can't beat them or they may stop sinking them...... Drama is all self made. Enjoy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the game. i Think their issue is not requin or herc its something else: -priror the DLC ships there was some sort of hirarchy that sperate mid tier and casual players from elite players, but then DLC ships came Herc was banned from PBs and nerfed 3 days after release becouse he destroyed hirarchy completly and requin still does thats why old this hate becouse mid tier players are far more willing too fight and less worried about ship loss while elite with their super moded golden/purple ships are worried and want too return the state of the game too time when they were dominating the game. Yes requin did change the game and yes he still need bug fixes, but did it changed the game positively or negatively: Positive: -More PvP becouse more players are willing too PvP Negative: - Becouse of cheap replacement and bypass of game economy its very popular so it appears everywere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim McSauce Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) ^except when veteran players use the requin, then the point is moot because mid tier players, and people who didn't pay lose still get swatted, you've only further increased the gap. It's basically how much of your soul are you willing to sell for more PVP. Shallows have been swarmed by the DLC plague, deep water is likely up next if the trend continues.

Well if DLC ships that might come are balanced with proper timers and swarm of them still persists there is another underlying issue instead of asking why not ban them ask yourself why people rather pay real money compared to earning ingame gold and craft/buy the ships?

I dunno. I think no matter what people will pay to make the game easier. Now that they're here we won't see how the new economy would've functioned on it's own and whether not the issue would've been resolved. People may love this new economy, it may completely have solved the economy issue, but we're still gonna be stuck with these pesky ships stirring up a storm in the community because apparently we can't nerf them or exclude them from PBs.
