inb4 its a pirate game can do whatever hurrduur
From a new player Enjoying the game to Uninstall in an hour for a new player.
Helped a friend play the game for the first time, completed the tutorial island and hopped on a sloop.
First hour was fine, did the starting gold hoarder, got a sunken ship and sold it. No worries. Had a couple of chests and a wood barrel but nothing major.
On the same island a ship joined us, killed me initially but after shouting 'WERE FRIENDLY' they apologised and were on their merry way.
En route to outpost, Alliance flag ahoy a sloop decided that despite shouting, again we're friendly, waving and explaining theres a new player...nope griefed.
Could have set an alliance, everybody wins?
Nope.
My friend, a dad in his mid 20s said 'Well whats the point of all that? I gotta do that again? Why waste another half hour'
And I'm sure theres going to be a PVP diehard call me a noob and say its a pirate game huuurrduuur
Pirates lived by a code.
Killing unwilling combatants who are passive, I doubt was part of that.
No recent players list to message asking why.
Cant report for griefing.
GTA, RDR:O Even WoW has PVE settings, passive or other modes.
And for those screaming calling me a noob. Why do you get off attacking those unwilling to fight back? Some Freudian link going on there.
TL:Dr
Griefers ruin game for new player, semi experience pirate wanting PVE. Expecting hate in comments.
Solution: attacking an Alliance/Passive flag ship destroys your ship/kills character/ loot stolen given to those it was stolen from. However imposes an overall rep/gold gain of 50%. Attacking others removes this.
PVE can be left alone in peace.
PVP can prosper on WILLING ships
