Hey. I've been playing for a while and just had a really weird experience, well series of experiences.
Myself and 2 friends just started a Galleon and immediately another passing Galleon shot 2 people onto the island we started on. No big deal, we have nothing, like I said, not a salt post. They are on our boat, but they are playing music so we all start playing music together on the top of the crows nest then at the end of the song they shoot us(???) I'm actually not sure, because even though we were "shot" we flew back super far and landed on the dock causing falling damage. I've never seen getting shot cause knockback, definitely not that much, and it hit more than one of us at once. Obviously no gunpowder barrel, because they had been launched and we had just started.
Moving on we were a little annoyed, they started sailing around camping the ship really really effectively. Like the blunderbuss would do 100% life from too far away, and sometimes it sounded like we died from gunpowder barrels exploding, but once again, no gunpowder barrels.
We scuttled the ship and decided on revenge. We pointed our new galleon at the fort, and started sailing past them planning to run around the island messing with them. We got close and they launched people to board us. No big deal again, we shot the lead guy at least twice with sniper, then slashed him once he started climbing the ship ladder, then he teleported from mid ladder to mid ship, then was teleporting everywhere and maybe died because I never heard a death sound, then there were 2 more people on board, who maybe climbed the ladder, but I couldn't tell. From the moment the first guy touched deck we started experiencing (myself and 2 friends) the most severe lag we've ever seen in game. Everyone on the ship was teleporting everywhere, I'd fire a shot directly at them and get no real indication that they were hit. I'd slash exactly where they were and then they'd be somewhere else.
We were getting shot by their galleon, which means maybe there was one person doing the skele fort tops at this moment, and we all died and then respawned to a new galleon and immediately saw the skull fort wink out. Which means that they cleared the whole skull fort in about 15 minutes with only 1-2 people at the beginning and 1 person during the 2 minutes we bothered them towards the end.
There is every possibility that we are just baddies who got on a bad server that gave us baddie connections, but as soon as we respawned our connection was fine.
Anyone ever hear about anything like this happening before or see anything like this happening before?
