Burning Blade Griefing w/ New Nerf

    I'm fine with this in theory, however we were on the BB last night, and kept getting attacked over and over and over by the same 4 crews.

    I hope they balance this by one of two methods:

    1. Limited ship server lives. You can have 3 ship lives on a server, once gone you are force switched.

    2. Spawn from the farthest outpost or island when sunk so they can't just keep throwing themselves waiting to get lucky.

    There's many of us that think a ship should be merged off a server if they sink twice to the same ship, a sort of best of three.

    For me, I think any block on completing the Burning Blade at the hideout should only apply if:

    1. The opposing ship(s) are Athena flagged. This way if they are to sink they can't return directly without pausing at an outpost to raise a new Athena.
    2. If not the above, then opposing ship(s) have to be enrolled into Guardian's hourglass. A Guardian ship has the benefit of blocking the turn-in, but the finale effectively becomes a last ship standing.

    I also think Flameheart shouldn't accept the return of a Burning Blade with zero rituals.... and maybe sinking ships on the Burning Blade adds to the ritual count.

    @husayra I've always said, 3 sinks in an hour

    With the idea of forced server transfers, i am for the idea if its not just 3 total per server, but say 3 sinks against the same ship over a set period of time, like an hour. When it comes down to spawn distance, theres some issues with that for sure, especially with the briggsy skull quest up.

    Your on a World Event...Player Controlled....what do you expect to happen? There is a define reason to Sink a BB

    As for sinking 3 times, forced switch.
    Fine: Make sure to sink the same ship who refuses to fight back and force them out of the server. Perfect.
