Knuddel Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) F11 report: NAB-87745 At the end of the Carriacou PB I was in boarding with an enemy Bucentaur. We were both down to zero structure and armour, he had zero morale in the boarding, and I had all but won the boarding. However both ships were under water and technically sunk, but for the boariding. It was just before the timer ran out on the battle, and as soon as the Battle Over-message appeared we both, I assume, pressed to leave the battle. After leaving battle I was told by remaining players that my ship was sunk. Meanwhile the Bucentaur escaped the battle and was able to sail back to port. Somehow the server registered his leaving before my leaving, but for all intents and purposes we must have left at the same time. It makes no sense that this server RNG or ping, should decide whose ship survive battle. Given that we both were technically dead, it would make sense both players loosing our ships, but alternatively, since both were still alive at Battle Over, we should both keep our ships. In either case, it should be the same outcome for both players. RNG/ping deciding this is just unfair and bad gameplay. So ether both or no one should lose a ship this way. I would like to have mine back. greetings Edited February 23, 2019 by Knuddel 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeekonda Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 you both shouldve died there tbh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuddel Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 i would think in thutch situations both should be lost. there is no ship you can hold on so why should they not sink in total? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim McSauce Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 That's unfortunate. In this scenario I'd rather see both live than both die. Luckily one of you made it out but that's only because you were lucky and got a good tic on the server when you should've sank. I do not like ships being held from sinking while in boarding, I think it's unrealistic and honestly I don't even like that ships sink the way they do. Ships should surrender at 0 health, not sink. Sinking should come from leaks and fires, not just any damage. If I want the ship to sink I'll put a broadside on the lower hull post surrender.

LIONOFWALES Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Both should die, it reflects well on the fact that you were both probably unable to secure the life boats in time and met death by the horrific jaws of sharks. Both crews annihilated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim McSauce Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It's very funny when 2 idiots sink each other, it's just not fair when one idiot subverts his doomed fate, they should both sink imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Computers use numbers and packets when calculating things. As a result when battle is over the person who sank first (first packet flying at the speed of electricity reaches the server) is considered sank and all others can exit the battle (even those who are in the process of sinking too), because battle over message overrides all states and removes exit limitations. There is no RNG. Just packets and numbers. 1nes or 0es Same does not happen with the exit timer, because we lock the exit for ships taking water. But battle over message means battle is over and you can try to exit (even on the sinking ship). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the concept of not sinking ship in boarding is that 1 ship is grappled to another afloat ship. How does the logic and physics work with both ships going down, but holding each other afloat due to boarding? It's because of the Captain's Blood adventures by Sabatini. Last chance boarding. Quote With his ship sinking under him, Blood grapples with the Frenchman, leads a boarding party, and takes the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are magically afloat. I understand. but it works both ways. Boarding must be resolved, even if both ships are sinking. Once it is resolved and battle is not over they will both sink once boarding ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 25 minutes ago, Banished Privateer said: Another problem arises when the battle is over (we can see that on the video above by Liqucity). Both ships have 100% water, boarding is still going on. First person to click leave - survives, other sinks (while technically both should be dead). If player A leaves battle first, player B dies. If player B leaves first, player A dies. Not only it creates an unrealistic situation of magic force keeping 2 ships afloat, on rare occasions faster-clicking LEAVE button player or player with lower ping wins. This does not happen when you win the boarding does it? This only happens when both sinking ships sit in brace and are passive in boarding.

That's officially sunk isn't it? Edited March 21, 2019 by Slim McSauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) @admin we have a realistic damage model and a realistic fire model but boarding model is unrealistic. i cant understand this . when both are 100% full of water and they are still in boarding they have to sink ps. the new fire model is bad for the gameplay Edited March 21, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van Veen Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Simple solution: boarding should be interrupted immediately when one ship sinks. If the other one is still just 99% sank (not 100%) and battle ends this moment, then that was just good luck and ok imho. If you really want to keep the boarding open for sunk ships so that the crew might conquer the other ship and take it over, you have to limit boarding actions. How should the crew continue to fight the boarding game when their ship is sunk? No more brace, musket volley, deck guns, just attack left as only option. And this would result in a very fast combat resolution and less time during which a practically sunk ship remains active during boarding.

This only happens when both sinking ships sit in brace and are passive in boarding. solution, if you take in water when the battle is over, the ship becomes invulnerable, but it continues sinking for the 15 minutes, during this time it can repair hull to a point where it stops taking in water and then leave, or repair leaks then leave after those are over. If it still takes in water it sinks as usual and the player is killed. Harsh but fair at the same time considering people should obviously die with 0% structure damage when a battle is technically over. @admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
