Stop being such scaredy-cats...

  • Carlosylu

    Use the gamechat! You know you are in partychat for others not to hear what your plans are, and that's ok, if you like to play on "easy mode"...

    Come on, we need to make this community give good moments of fighting and encounters again, I hate when people are in party chat whyle we are attacking them or even trying to help them, the devs worked their a***s out on making a
    good gamechat experience between players, USE IT!

    Edited:
    I know there are toxic players out there, THAT'S GAMING! Or... Is this the first multiplayer game you've experienced?

    Think of this, if all the nice people go to partychat, that'll make gamechat only for salty players, don't help make the ingame experience become "fully toxic" please!

    Here's an example of what you're missing:

    @carlosylu its a personal choice BUT i agree. its fast and realistic. you can solve problems before they even happen with a quick 'hey im friendly' and if youre gona not have a mic thats fine and all , but at least use nonverbal haha. i cant stand straight silence and no replies

    I guess they added the megaphone for you to use the party chat hum...?

    Don't base your desitions in past experiences, there are funny pirates out there, you just need to keep looking, and stop playing in "easy mode". Try to board or do tactics with your crew knowing the enemy can hear you, now that's a good game experience right there.

    @apocacide It has to happen, wanna do the meg??

    @apocacide Then it happened right? Wasn't it a good experience? And how about the megaphone? I guess it's just an useless piece of your inventory then...

    They should know people use parties.. not my fault they added something useless to the game lol.

    People were begging for grabbing hooks and we get a megaphone....

    All you get from game chat is racial slurs, homophobic insults and people screaming...

    I don't need to hear my victims when I slay them.

    @stubbierbell598 haha yah i play a black female character and i get a lot of that. when they spew that junk at me i just play this song for them.

    @carlosylu Sure! I love the experience of being told ”shut up you ff**kng btch” while being attacked. Its a blast! Happened yesterday... so fun...

  • Carlosylu

    @stubbierbell598 I guess role play is not for you right? I mean, of course you're gonna meet salty racist people, THAT'S GAMING, but there are also other players who aint like that.

  • Carlosylu

    @tat-lilac Toxic players are out there, but also cool players, are you new to gaming?

    That's not what I play for... If i wanted to role play over the phone I would call one of those late night phone lines that has "hot virgins" that are totaly interested in talking to me.

  • Carlosylu

    @stubbierbell598 I guess I am right, if anytime you wanna join my crew, you're gonna have a blast, here's an example of our content (that's not my crew, it's a youtuber, but that's just alike how we roll).

    THATS WHAT A PIM.P DOES! haha yah i mean bottom line people can do what they want. i have a friend who literally refuses to not be in party chat he hates people cause people can be idiots like that. I take a diff approach though. I do want the fun encounters so I just dont let the fools affect me. I laugh and move on, but that doesnt have to be for everyone.

    what will solve some of this is when they allow a filter in joining randoms that they have a mic or no

    I understand what you are saying. I like to use game chat to have fun experiences with other pirates as well. However I don't see any justification for calling party chat "easy mode." Who is really detailing their plans when in earshot of another crew? By that point you are probably already engaged in a fight with them anyway.

    We are all in the same game, with the same mechanics. No player is at an advantage over the other. Just because one group chooses to "whisper" to his crew while you are "shouting" for the entire island to hear, doesn't make it "easy mode." You still have just as much an opportunity to attack as they do.

  • Carlosylu

    @revanjstone Yeah, I know it's not for everyone, but I hope to encourage some people to change their play style and try the game chat to improve game experience.

    @carlosylu Guess you're just going to have to accept the fact that a lot of people don't want to use their mics. THATS GAMING.

  • Carlosylu

    @stayooriginal Of course, but I'm trying to get to the people who DOES HAVE A MIC.

    @carlosylu yah i like this idea. the more pleasant people that talk in game chat the more fun it will be. if all the nice people stay in their party chats itll just make it so almost all in game speakers are likely to be the toxic ones haha. so i encourage others to consider open mic too.

    That video is hilarious but where does he find these kinda people who are so subdued and compliant with him.

    Not one of them shot him in the face which is probably what would happen to me if I tried it.

    I don't need to hear my victims when I slay them.

    You might find a use for the Megaphone when your party chat boat is getting swarmed by a fleet of ships who've had enough of being your victims. That's the thing, it's a new tool, we can use it for whatever we want, or not use it at all. That doesn't make having a new tool to use a bad thing for the game.

    I personally think that the megaphone was a very smart way for Rare to try to encourage more people to use in-game chat, without forcing them to.

    I also personally think that in a few weeks time, the days of fearing a KOS duo on a sloop will be gone, to be replaced by fearing a KOS gank squad of sloops. That may suck for a bit, particularly for solo sloopers, but it will lead to teaming up for survival being a thing, which will lead to more fleets, which will lead to more fleet battles.

    Rare are letting the game grow organically, which means planting the seeds and letting them develop.

    I tend to play solo but I want to kill the shark so I hung around T26 until a galleon turned up. It turned out to be crewed by kids, I guess 10-12 years old. I’m 49😂. They hadn’t got the bit about carrying the shanty, so we sailed back to Merrick to get it. It felt like being a teacher on a class trip! We didn’t kill the damn thing but it was funny.

  • Carlosylu

    @quarbani They did shot him in the face, watch it complete, hehehe. Min 08:20

    Hahahahaha, I have to actually say I have never encountered with a kid before, until the meg, where a solo kid in a sloop joined three other galleons (mine included), but never have I met a kid in game besides him.

    @Carlosylu lol I love talking to people in game one of my favorite things is telling people to pull over so we can inspect their cargo or to charge them taxes for saving them from an attacking ship.

  • Carlosylu

    @ve111a I know! It gives way more fun! I've done that too, and if they don't have loot to pay (We only take the cheapest chest they have) we are good with bannanas

    lol. We will take what we desire muhahaha. The alternative is to sink them and take it all we have told people this and they gladly take the latter lol. My favorite thing to do sometimes is to find a target and engage, It's usually over quick this is if they don't stop, If they have nothing or are a solo we will patch them up leave them a gift and wish them fare winds and return to our ship. Most times they respawn looking around all bewildered and unsure. The confusion is hilarious.

  • Carlosylu

    @ve111a LOL, yes! When We board a sloop we kill the players without doing anything to their ship and even leave them a chest, then leave, one has actually followed us and said "you left your chest guys", hahaha

    @carlosylu you're forgetting about language compatibility problems...

    Due to the diversity of the servers Ive encountered so many barely and non English people in this game. So that's why people tend to use party chat too.

    I'm not English, and that's not my mother language. I do favor The game chat because I feel comfortable with that and that's the easiest way to play a crossplay game. But most of my friends don't feel the way I do...
    Even the other day we encountered a fully french crew and only of them spoke English with us and very basic.

    The other reason is the privacy of our conversation. That could be key too...
    Because as you must know, Xbox players don't have that easy toggle option to change between gamechat and partychat..
    I do believe most of partychat players are Xbox native players who prefers to stay there all the time instead of running option in Xbox party chat to change between channels..

    I would love to! If... It worked. Which it doesn't! For me at least. My crew mates can hear other people talk and chat with them, but not me. No clue why. Tried different audio settings. No luck.

  • NWO Malice

    I'll stick to party chat, I can only stand so much begging of "Please stop I'm friendly!" Just last night a silent solo slooper could only stand at the tip of his ship and hold out the job paper he was doing in silent frustration as his ship sank into the deep with him.

  • Carlosylu

    @nunoazuldimeter Sure, thet's a problem, but still, english is the main language I''ve encountered, English is not my native tongue, yo hablo español nativo, soy de México.

    I don't want this to become a rule, but merely a mind change for nice people who are using the partychat to avoid toxicity or to play "easy mode" and then complain about hoew they're not "good enough" at PvP.

    As I wrote in my post, if only salty players are in gamechat, the ingame experience will become toxic, don't help make the ingame experience like that.
