This feels like a slight oversight, but cursed cannonball spawn rate now makes cursed crews skeleton commendations incredibly difficult to achieve. Cursed cannonball rate is averaging at about one per hour of dedicated scouring islands and outposts. I get it this change was made to pre-empt overuse of cursed cannonballs in the new PvP systems for the season (and the PvP cursed crews commendations are now easier), which I think is reasonable, but this has affected commendations in a rather annoying way for PvE.

To be fair those have been in the game for a LONG time. There is also no reward for doing them so its something you can slowly do over time. Also I don't know if people do them in the most efficient way. I did them back in the day by going to forts. Sometimes you get a fort that spawns nothing but melee skeletons every wave. You have someone kite them out to the fence so you can get a large group of them then you can easily canon them.
I do agree though they had already become less common to find as it is so they kind of have been double nerfed. People have been asking for them to be nerfed for a while though. At least in effect I don't know if anyone asked for a reduced spawn rate.
And what pvp cursed crew commendation? weren't the only ones just hit a ship with each purple ball type once while running a reapers flag. The proper OG reaper flag. I think more than ever this will just mean don't waste your chance at using your curse canonballs.
Sadly the cursed canonball thing is all they could come up with for balancing this system. Not increasing starting supplies so you can just login and pvp or rejoin after losing. Still gotta waist 10-15min pre match to get prepared. But hey less cursed canonballs!
@magus104 we r referring to the "Legend of cursed iron" commedation, where u have to kill 200 skeletons/phantoms while they are under the effect of the cursed canonball. No difficult mechanically, but very tideous
