GrineUlf Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) No, i have not been reading all the posts...here are my 2 reals...stop the bloody Pay 2 Win ships. It's insane. Bloody requin just boarded my (NEW) indy and took it with only 2 rounds of boarding. I had no chance whatsoever, and as a new player I barely get a chance.

Req is actually cancer, hands down the most annoying thing about NA right now. Muskets being the next annoying thing.

Draymoor Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Changing DLC ships to be re-redeemable every 3 days instead of every 24 hrs would be most welcome, it's boring to see so many players sailing DLC ships everywhere, specially gankers love them cause they lose nothing if they sink, just back at it the next day. I own both DLC ships myself. Or like someone else said, make players actually have to craft them but keep them exclusive to DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskets being the next annoying thing. Both need to be changed imo I completely agree on muskets. They are very very OP. No fun, no skill, just a insta-win-button. The Requin is fine now (I personaly dislike it, but that is not the point) but the problem with it is that it is very easy to kill beginners in a Requin because they do not know how to counter that ship (nobody can prevent it from running away, but that is an other point). I think the ROE of reinforcementzones are the real problem. There should be no doubloon drop and no points for the PvP leaderboard for kills in reinforcementzones. Than it would be less attractive to kill beginners. On the other hand it should still be possible to attack in the reinforcementzone to prevent rear admiral traders to become lazy and fat. Maybe it could be an other idea to make players up to the rank of master and commander completely save against attacks... .

Cmdr RideZ Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I have all the best boarding upgrades, I win. Boarding is not about gear, it is about skill. Devs introduce Insane Muskets, I lose. Boarding is about gear and not from skill. I cry because those are Insane. I got Insane Muskets from a loot chest, I win. Boarding is once again about skill, l2p nubs! World is once again in balance for Veteran Naval Action gankers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the boarding gear the oponent was most likely still able to disengage. With muskets you win in two to (max.) five rounds. You have not even a chance to escape. What is your suggestion. Should it stay at it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he knows what it feels like to be taken down in basically 30 seconds while starting against the wind, getting boarded by a requin, and losing in 2 rounds of boarding fights, while sailing a ship you just built from your last money and resources...because that is what bloody happened to me! As a quite new player there is no hell f-ing way I can even get a decent chance to make money, because of shithats like that Edited November 19, 2018 by GrineUlf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, for some reason he is going to tag you, make sure you are running downwind and tag him first so that he doesn't get close. Never allow yourself to be tagged pointing into the wind. If you are in battle with a Req, run downwind. It sounds like you made a bunch of mistakes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply sailing and out of nowhere he came, tagged me, and before I could turn the battle started. And I ended up against the wind due to the fact I was trying to meet up with my friends. So the battle starts, I am against the wind, he positioned himself behind me before the battle, and there we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new player getting tagged by a DLC ship and you say the new player is doing something wrong by not having any way to defend himself. It's funny that experienced players are so quick to put down newbs saying they need to "git gud" But they won't consider having their progress wiped because "mods aren't important, ships don't matter, it's skill!" Yet they sail around in 5/5 ships with 12% speed bonus and 300% boarding mods. Edited November 19, 2018 by Slim McSauce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't come out of nowhere, but they can come up fast if you're not looking around at all times. This game can be boring when your just sailing alone on an empty sea, but it gets ugly fast if you're not paying attention. I've killed a few who were not looking for sure. I'm not picking on you mate, but this is part of the learning curve. If you see a Le Req, you can generally avoid it. "It wasn't my fault" is not an acceptable excuse to an Admiralty Court Martial, Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made mistakes and hopefully he learned from that. just saw your edit. I'm only mildly experienced and have never had a 5/5 ship or great mods. Happy for a full wipe!

GrineUlf Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Let me explain the situation. I am sailing from KPR to Port Morant, I see a battle going on between 3 british and a pirate. I am almost at Port Morant, battle was still going on (swords crossed). Swords disappear. Req appears and tags me. All this time I am against the wind, almost at Morant. He tags me, I can't do shit. Battle starts, with an indy it takes for ever to turn in anyway, and he bloody boards me from the rear. I would love to see you do better in that situation.

There is no 'skill' that will keep you from getting tagged and ganked. Edited November 19, 2018 by Slim McSauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeRoTR Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) @GrineUlf when you notice boarding gonna come, %100 when Le Req involved. 1) get your boarding preparation up by hitting 9 key 2) go with the wind asap 3) make your initial broadside count, double shot when enemy close. 4) load grape keep shooting 5) keep barricades or boarding axes skill on your ship. 6) establish a base out of greenzone to grind your ship slots.

The turning downwind as soon as the tag timer hit would have been all you could do and yes, it may not have been enough, but at least you wouldn't have been facing into the wind.

AeRoTR Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 @GrineUlf you prepare your ship before battle starts, during timer you can even reverse more than 3,5 knots speed thus learn manual sails, this is naval manual sailing action, %100 !
