@HaxxorSauruz You and your crew may need to get lucky and 1v4 me sometime :) ill show you how a sloop can hit you, board kill, and camp until you sink. If you can all deal with me jumping and killing like a damn jackrabbit on coke, then gj.
EVERY sandbox game I play with some form of open world pvp, my points hold true. If you PVP in all games you play, that offer it, you figure out perseverance with adaption is key. (counter intuitive I know, but you get me?)
We held a skull fort last night before server reset for 2 hours, sunk 2 galleons over and over. We didn't fire more than 10-15 shots per ship, rest was 2 people man boat, 2 people board. WE NEVER LOST OUR SHIP 4v8. We got both crews to dump their salt on us though when they switched to game chat and flamed. Also, we kept boarding, and taking their resources, then we'd resupply our ship and re-engage, never leaving the waters around the fort.
We kept our ship safe, cleared island, they fought us on island, but wit and skill overpowered. We took key and sold loot. They even camped the island to get us when we sold the loot, managed to get 1 entire skull from us, rofl. The fight after selling concluded with server maintenance, and us getting drunk on the nectar of the seas, while they took one final trip to the afterlife.
Truly sorry, that you guys have problems in PvP.
