@wilbymagicbear said in The Capstan/Anchor Feels Unbalanced:
@mysticdragon297 It will change not so much because the best players will improve, but the newer players will either quit or improve. There was a huge influx of inexperienced players with anniversary, but their numbers are waning. Eventually, boarding via the ladder will be near impossible, and the anchor will almost always be caught. Just wait a while.
again, it has been one year and the meta has still not changed. there are more ways to boarding a ship than just the ladder. if saying that players will get better at camping ladders is a valid argument, i can say that players will get better at knowing when to climb them or when to use any other means to board. another point to make is that even the most experienced of players know that releasing the capstan is meta.
