A fellow crewmate posted something similar over on Facebook, so if this topic looks familiar, apologies. But I wanted to throw this on the Forum as well to discuss and gather thoughts.
My crew loves the PvP in this game. We love the unpredictability that fighting other crews provides in game. We love developing new strategies real-time in attempts to outwit and outplay our opponents.
Now to the topic... it has become more and more common for 2-Person Sloops to approach and attack our 4-Person Galleon. As noted, this I have no problem with as we love PvP. However, when we are sailing and they start trailing us, we quickly dispatch 1-4 pirates to drop anchors, wipe their crew, and generally sink their ship. In some instances, we are in the middle of some mission or planning to attack a public event and we just want to end the Sloop threat quickly so we can continue on our way. If this is the case we’ll send the whole crew off. Generally this is an overwhelming force and we quickly end the threat. What I don’t understand is the messages from the Sloop crew afterward with the argument or excuse including some form of “Need 4v2 to beat our little Sloop???” or “Trash Galley crew needs 4v2”
We have nothing against Sloop crews. They can be quite lethal on the Sea given a skilled crew. But why message the Galleon crew with this excuse? They chose to attack a 4-Person ship. Do they expect us to only use 2 of our crew to dispatch them just to keep the fight even? The Galleon is large, cumbersome, and obnoxious to turn around. And supplies for us are a precious commodity. If they want to fight a 4-Person ship, we have no problem with that, but we’ll fight on your ship.
It just seems like these 2-Person Sloops want us to fight them on their terms and then lean on the 4v2 or 3v2 excuse when we don’t. We’ve experienced this quite a bit lately. Any other Galleon crews receive these types of messages?
