Better Together? Solo Queue?

@juicysneeze118 Theres a crew finder thread on the forums matey, i suggest using that. In my opinion the game is truly at its best when played with 3 others with headsets!

The tales and adventures to be had are brilliant! And its great just hearing peoples reactions to the random situations you find yourselves in. :)

@juicysneeze118 same thing has happened to me except I read the part when I queued solo that it’s the most risky, so when these galleons attacked I had simply been paying attention and either left or on occasion sunk and harassed a galleon by myself and earned chests that they gave up on coming back for. In an open world pvp pirate game with an emphasis on stealing so big that its literally in the name, i would think it was more you not paying attention than anyone being trolls by sinking you in a pirate game consisting of ship combat, small arms combat, and a quest to get a physical form of loot, that is there to facilitate theft during encounters of ship and small arms combat. Its not trolling you just didn’t pay attention.

Its not satisfying combat, but neither is driving by the only ship you’ve seen in 45 minutes or more.

Point is neither player is really wrong for wanting to play the way they want but unless they change the game it’s up to your awareness to avoid combat no game mechanic will do it for you.

@juicysneeze118 got ya, and I do hear ya about just letting some sloops do their thing. I just hate how much pvping and trolling seem to be in a gray area for a lot of people in this game, and specifically on the forum. Such a wierd draw of casual and hardcore gamers to this game that its hard to say what is trolling or expected gameplay. I lean a lot more towards most things being expected gameplay until they add any type of incentive in game to stifle pvp or give reason for co op besides everything being up to our imaginations.

I meet a team of 3 and joined them, such a good experience

It can be done, sunk a couple galleons solo yesterday. The 2 weapon change actually helps solo players because then there are only 2 possible loaded weapons per person instead of all 3 and a sword, which is usually too useful To go without, leaving 1 loaded weapon per person. This helps balance immensely, And just gives each player more tactical potential by reducing each players power to chain weapon shots together before reloading. Which helps 4 player crews dominate a lot more than the 2 weapon limit.

The fact that less weapons gives each individual more tactical advantage sounds false but it is true, it’s just more about choosing your loadout to fit a situation. And the fact that everyone has to do this makes people take more time and be cautious and not just rush you with 4 weapons. I heard the analogy that it would be like allowing everyone to have 4 weapons at once in halo, which is a perfect example imo.
