No more Infinite Respawns on Mermaids
@psyren136 yeah. i hope they'll keep it for going back to your ship tho. I happen to fall from time to time. :P
@happyalbe Yeah from what i understand it is still in for the falling off. This change is just to the mermaid you got after your ship was sunk. Basically you could just camp a spot that you sank a enemy ship at and just keep killing them as they respawned in the water. The mermaid to return to your ship as normal should still be intact.
@seasicksig The mermaid will still be around but if your ship is sunk and you die but you won't respond at the mermaid in the water but instead at your new ship.
It's a good change. If your ship is sunk... the battle should be over.
agreed! I also hope the ship spawning is a little different than it was in the betas... this happened to us a few times in the beta we would come up against an enemy ship and they would sink our ship... fine. but our ship seemed to spawn at the nearest island to where it was sunk and by the time everybody got back on board, the enemy ship had found us and was in the process of sinking us again. this happened like 3-4 times before we finally got tired and quit out and re-started to switch servers.
I would hope the ship respawning would be farther away or wouldn't spawn within a certain proximity to another ship... just something to prevent the above, getting camped even from sinking to sinking
