New Player Fleets option

Worst idea ever!

The amount of Ships and players is to balance PvP and PvE.
It's all fine about it and need no, no mustn't be changed!
These suggestions are completely immersionbresking to me.
And another split of the playerbase?
No thank you.
And the most important:
There is no need for "help the people grind levels."
Levels are pointless in this game, they happen by the way.
Stop gaming the system start playing games.
It's also the moment you dont care for loosing loot, winning and loosing that much, because it's about the fun playing.

@coffeelight5545 i think with some balancing like increased spawn timers or crew spawn waves (players can only spawn as groups of 4 on a gally, 3 brig, 2 sloop) could make this more balanced, or things like crews of 8 being allowed one weapon slot each, etc.

As always, anything could fit this game if done right, and for once, i think they would have better luck balancing as i suggested above, with fleet crews getting server merged when sunk, than “splitting the playerbase” as empty as that argument really is. Low pop servers we could have matchmaking options as diverse as any game. Thats just a bad excuse, because they dont want to balance rewards for multiple modes that are basically too similar just with player opinions of fairness differing. But imo fleets would still be better in adventure not a new mode.

Add fleets into regular adventure with balances as i said above, and probably more, next time they expand the map so we have even more room to support it.

I would love to trade my utility for teamwork advantages, and would love to fight large crews who have done the same, when im in a sloop or what have you.

Raisable ladders would be necessary also imo. You can always get back to your ship via mermaid (with added cost?) but then people wouldnt be as easily boarded by larger crews, their main advantage, besides survivabilty.

And players need to use ladders to bring loot aboard so that is just a positive balance change all around imo, have yet to hear good reasons not to add this, and players could still unroll the ladder with a timer from the bottom, just not fast enough to do while swimming to intercept a ship at speed.

@nwo-azcrack why? If you hit their anchor then you can just drop their ladder if you need to board to sink them? Or catch them loading chests, or shoot directly onto their deck, or blow them up with a keg, or maybe you could shoot a rope/pulley near the ladder and it would unfurl.

I still dont see any issue besides people needing boarding as the main means of sinking people, which it shouldnt be imo, especially after the new damage update.

These are the types of concessions we should suggest for solo players, so that things like the grenades we talked about or fleets can be added without the solo player excuse being used.

And a boarding axe to go along with it would be perfect, but im kinda tired of the way they feel like waiting is better than just adding and balancing changes like this and adding content as it is made, even if they affect each other a little bit like these two things. Then we can actually see how both play out and give feedback rather than rare thinking they know that adding them together is best, when based on their track record they often dont.

@goedecke-michel take another ice cream break bud.
