Rare we need to talk about your addiction... It's hurting your playerbase.

Oh there's more challenge than throwing tons of skeletons as you at every stop. There's tons of skeletons with increased health at every stop! Vertical progression in a game where you don't vertically progress. Thanks (for nothing, in this case) Rare!

You could crew up with low level players to get easier voyages.

If Rare can reduce the skeleton's accuracy I'd be happy. You can't peak around a rock without getting shot in the eye by sniper skeletons.

Skeletons have the same animations than the player models. It's just cheaper to create new skeleton models than new animations.

Doing everything they can to slow people down even further.
Theres a reason why I've not played in a fortnight.

This is a post for after they finish the barely existent physics system.

It's crazy they even got skeletons into the release version.

One might even claim Rare is in the “bone zone.”

@eatdamuffin said in Rare we need to talk about your addiction... It's hurting your playerbase.:

Your bone f****h is out of control and obscene. Clink, clack. Crunch. There's more skeletons in the ground in your world, than there are grains of sand. I don't understand how there could be so many dead pirates, who is commiting this atrocity? Why isn't the Pirate UN involved? Is there some factory somewhere hidden beneath the waves pumping them out in numbers that Westworld would be jealous of? How is it that a voyage can produce more skeletons than a skull fort, the epicenter of skeleton based difficulty?

I can't take it anymore. Skeleton based difficulty needs to go the way of the dodo but please cremate it rather than bury it. I can't take another skeleton being made.

I try to take refuge in a nice relaxing level 50 Gold Hoarders voyage. I mean it's just riddles and X marks right??? I step foot on the beautiful sandy shores ready to puzzle and navigate myself to riches...

NO Rare says, YOU must fight the skeletons, the SKELETON is the game. SEA OF SKELETONS.

I jump off my sloop and I apparently step on the skeleton landmine. Six spawn. Kill them, take five steps. Six more spawn. Dig in a spot, five more spawn. Kill them, run for a bit. Five more spawn. Swim back to my boat they're all on shore using them aimbots all the Xbox players complain about.

They cackle at me, taunt me. But enough is enough. Today's patch is just too much...

"Being on an Order of Souls voyage no longer causes fewer ambient skeletons to spawn."

ORDER OF SOULS DIDN'T SPAWN THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF SKELETONS?! HAVE YOU DONE YOUR OWN VOYAGES ABOVE 40? WHY WOULD WE NEED MORE SKELETONS?! EVER?!

This is without even talking about the skelpocalypse that are Athena's Voyages. I won't go there... I can't go there.

There must be some challenge beyond throwing tons of skeletons at us at every stop. Please I beg you Rare, anything but more skeletons for every facet of the game. It's overused, it's tired, it's dead. You get over them after level 10. Did anyone ever tell you variety is the exquisite spice of life? That maybe... just maybe there's other options out there for you than enabling whichever dev or devs have an addiction to all things boney?

Please I'd be happy with you utilizing the other enemy assets in the game! Please next time I jump ashore spawn some sharks on land, make them float above the sands, maybe a few disembodied Kraken tentacles, how about some snakes??? Please Rare. Please. I beg you just put anything else in other than skeletons. Can your servers really handle so many skeletons spawning on every voyage? MAYBE IF YOU SPAWNED LESS YOU COULD UP THE PLAYER COUNT. Think of the benefits, you wouldn't need to think of new ways to spawn skeletons.

I mean come on... when you come out with a Fishing Trading Company, you're not going to have us fish up skeletons are you???

Man i loved your post, so fricking funny. You know what else is funny? skeletons have better aim than the average xbox player xD lol

I was right up the very top of Crooked masts, tiny tiny bit of land up there, hit the ground with my shovel and twelve, I kid you not, twelve naffin' skeletons spawned. With it being such a small space it was almost impossible to fight them, I got killed 3 times before I finally got my chest.

On a bigger island I can out run them but on Crooked Masts, especially with all the snakes spitting at you, it does become a little bit frustrating at times, especially when it takes eight hits to kill them.
