How to sail in peace?

@extinctpanda453 said in How to sail in peace?:

I didn't choose to get attacked, sunk, and sunk again by extremely dangerous galleons.
Is there any way I can stop that? I know I can run but most of the time I can't, they cannon onto my sloop, drop my anchor and I'm gone, unfair, especially when they call me trash.

Well pirates don't ask for permission to attack you. Its not unfair, just keep your distance from galleons and you will be fine. Try to get another person to sail with.

@extinctpanda453 The brig is significantly faster than the sloop and can be successfully sailed solo pretty easily.

all my friends play Fortnite

Well that is unfortunate

@waronpants2664 I'll try using a brigantine, cheers mate

I highly recommend you don't solo a brig, if you get attacked on that you will be overwhelmed with more holes and the sloop is faster against the wind which you can use to your advantage when your being chased.

@extinctpanda453 I can't use the sloop anymore because of how miserably slow it is. The brig will not just help you outrun other crews, but you will be surprised by how much time you save just from normal play because the brig cuts your traversal time down by like 40%. One thing to be aware of is that if you get attacked by the kraken, you are pretty much guaranteed to sink because of how the encounter scaling works. Get a rowboat asap if you have loot.

The sloop is faster against the wind and your more likely to be against the wind than going with the wind.

@travis354 The sloop is only fastest against the wind by like 5m/s over the brig(if you flatten the sails).

your more likely to be against the wind than going with the wind.

oh wow, wow. wow wow woo... how do you figure that?
The brig has the fastest top speed of any ship and it does so with wind coming from the side(you have 2 sides btw).

No it doesn't have the fastest top speed. The galleon is fastest with the wind and the sloop is fastest without the wind. The brig is somewhere in the middle.

@travis354 You have no idea what you are talking about bucko. This has been thoroughly tested.

Are you a troll? The galleon is the FASTEST with the wind and the sloop is the FASTEST without its common knowledge

@faceyourdemon help me explain to this guy ^^^

I'll probably join a server takeover, or live off fishing

If you live off fishing you might as well uninstall imo. Joining a server takeover might be a good idea for you though. I've never used them so idk what they are like.

@extinctpanda453 said in How to sail in peace?:

@waronpants2664 guess so, I'll quit, this game isn't for everyone

You should try alliance server. It might be exactly what you're looking for?

@faceyourdemon All I do is solo brig. Death sentence my *word...

@extinctpanda453 said in How to sail in peace?:

@waronpants2664 isn't that a server takeover? It's against the rules but I just want to be good

It's not against the rules. Devs have said they aren't fans, but they aren't actually gonna do anything about it.

@extinctpanda453 you have to find a server takeover on a discord server. That's going to be your best bet.

Don't discourage the new player! They're asking for help and telling them that they should probably just uninstall is NOT helpful. It's unconstructive and does nothing but discourage the player and make them feel bad.

@propheteyes6235 If you read the full thread I encouraged them to give it another shot. My recommendation to uninstall was if they were to the point that the only thing they would do in game is fish. At that point they would just be throwing away time and enjoyment that could be spent doing just about anything else.
