Suggestion about cursed balls

    Maybe someone will not agree with me, but I would like cursed balls to be removed from hourglass totally (as well as Bone callers).

    It's really ruining the matches in HG and if two crews are even in skill, 1 or 2 Bone callers or some curse ball can really get you win and that is not fair.

    In my opinion you shouldn't be able to win HG match just by throwing ballast ball on galleon for example. And no, I am not new player thats complaining, I am close to 2k levels been playing since 2020 and I still think this would be good change for HG.

    I get it but hourglass isn't a separate mode so it can't really be a thing. I personally don't mind, curses are a compliment I'm happy to use them and if someone uses a well-timed curse on me that wins the fight good for them.

    I have found that in higher level play especially gally there is an unwritten rule about no curses that most of the recognisable players adhere to. Random lfgs might not etc but depending on the crew I'll check and respect their wishes on it.

    Bonecallers the same can be frustrating but it's a tool in the game, there to be used and for us to adapt to and overcome.

    People using blunderbombs to turn the ship, chaining the mast...where do you draw the line?

    Everyone just use everything.

    I once won a brig fight against a decent crew and said gg, he said no gg cos we used curse. I said OK I'll take the win. 🤣🤷‍♂️

    It can be a thing, I am developer (not game developer though) myself and it should not be hard to code. U know how loot and commodities disappear when you dive for battle? Just make the curse-balls and bone caller disappear from your pockets and barrels/storage crates. Shouldn't be that hard to do.

    Also, about blunder bombs, I look at that like a thing that needs skill.

    You need to know where Sea Dog tavern is at every point in battle so u can know when u can blunder ship to make them lose angle & spin. If you just auto-pilot blunder bombs it will just push them away a bit but it will not spin their ship.

    There is in-depth guides about this stuff and explanations on YouTube.
