Special cannonballs : duration of peace ball and skeleton ship's ability to spam.

Never go side to side with the big boys they will bonnie and clyde you every time including when far away

peaceball is useful when controlling the distance but overall you want to get them in a death circle at a slowed down speed or get close to them to prevent getting lit up and manipulate the situation to where you you can get shots without taking too many

When I trigger a pre-spawned skelly I just start off the hostilities with a good old fashioned ram. You'll put some good holes in them with a nice windy crash and it'll keep you close so you can set up a good angle without taking much damage. As said before setting a nice bone bon fire will help keep them off cannons too

For one, the peace ball effect is way too short. I hit them with that (commendation popped up and all) but they still started shooting me after like .00001 seconds. The duration is so short it's pointless, the ball might as well not exist unless the duration is buffed.

Secondly, the rate at which skelly ships can spam cursed balls is insane. After a few seconds of combat in which I got all my cursed shots off (and they shot a few regular shots that missed), they suddenly just starting hitting me with a chain of sleep curse balls. I stayed passed out from their first hole put in my ship until I was sunk.

So your saying the ball is so bad that it does essentially nothing, then you go to saying its so OP it needs to be removed?

Yeah, they seem to have nerfed the cursed cannonballs quite a bit, I'm not really sure when that happened, but it can feel like very little respite is provided by them at times. I'm not really sure how I feel about it, because obviously it is fair and equal for everyone, what it does mean though is that you have to continue to hit your enemies over and over with crew disabling shots for it to be effective. It just means that when you're in trouble that you can't rely on one good shot with a cursed ball to save you.

@the-song42 cough cough use those eyes and look at the 2nd paragraph. this is gonna be hard but you need to look at the last half...... ;)

also the duration is just incompetency on your end. In an actual pvp encounter (the only time you need cursed balls) it delays your opponents for about 3 seconds. that's enough to load another and shoot on...... you can farm someone and keep them in a loop for as long as you have the balls that pretty op if you ask me. As for them being too good for skelly ships and not good enough for you, that's just plain old terrible skill. I have no issues with the balls or the difficulty level on skelly ships. Yea as a sloop it sucks getting farmed but you don't get stunned locked while getting barrel balled is annoying use your bucket, anchor ball is another story, however, you are complaining about how bad it is when you go to saying how good it is on skelly ships. that is just skill level. are you admitting to being worse than skellys???

@the-song42 alright, I apologize, i was tired when i wrote it. I should have read more carfully. I apologize.
