My take on the Blunder nerf.

    Here’s my take on the blunderbuss nerf. While I’m not entirely against the change, there are a few concerns that come to mind:

    • With the increased knockback, I’m curious about how far it will actually push players. Will jumping or being in the air cause even more dramatic knockback?

    • There are still ongoing issues with hit registration.

    • Problems with eating food and it not registering persist.

    • With the spread being even wider now, sword combat could become overpowered due to the stun lock effect. I could be wrong, but if we can shoot through the sword and knock players back, it might balance out.

    • Solo sloop players might be at a disadvantage since the knockback could easily throw them off their sloop.

    These are just a few thoughts that cross my mind regarding the update.

    My experience so far today is the knock back is great for ship defence but it doesn't always register, I actually haven't put a report ticket in for it yet

    @xziraider My thoughts are that it's a change, but before they said anything I also didn't think it needed to be changed. I assume people will also complain about it after it changes. I mean we have people crying about it. I feel it could also be with the Harpoon gun that's coming soon / just to change stuff up. Change is healthy, fun, and scary sometimes, I'm down for it, now I can for sure run my EOR build.

    I haven't had a chance to check out Insider today.

    I think a big part of the issue might be the harpoon gun. I’m not entirely sure why they’re looking to change it, but I’m a bit conflicted. With it being a one-hit weapon, it was effective at keeping boarders at bay. So, I’m guessing that with the nerf, they might be aiming to make boarding more common or easier?
