Skeleton Accuracy

  • Joe Vertigo II

    Is it just me, or are the skeletons way too accurate? I'm playing SoT but these guys are playing Red Dead. If you're fighting a horde of boney baddies and four or five of them have guns, it seems like you're pretty much guaranteed to be blasted to Davey Jones' locker in an instant, especially for solo players who are the skeletons' only target. And they want to add a gold penalty to death? Combat would feel so much more fluid if I had a chance to sidestep or dodge a few of these shots. I feel this needs balancing.

    What do you think? Am I just bad? Or have other pirates also felt this frustration?

    I made a post about this yesterday it's also the fact that they can shoot through solid objects a lot of the time so you can get hit multiple times even when you are undercover.

    Aim bots and bullet sponges. Combat feels straight out of a 15 year old game.

    @roosterhome Yes, exactly! Will find your post and upvote.

    Yea

    I totally disagree with them adding a gold cost on death. Should only be on loss of a ship.

    The combat in this game is wonky as hell and they want to add a penalty for dying? This is supposed to be a light hearted adventure game. There are better ways to fix respawning over and over again. How about increase the respawn time progressively instead.

    Them coming out with this change during the time where we arent even getting our gold from missions is just tone deaf as f**k. I'm still missing thousands from turn ins 24+ hours ago.

    I got blasted by four or five yesterday, I had to resplendent and hide on my boat and snipe them all, it’s easier to fight a real player than 3 skellys with guns 💪. It needs fixing when death penalty comes in but I can deal with it for now. I have seen them occasionally fire off a drastically bad shot also though

    Yeah, it seems that at a distance they aren't such dead-eyes but with the ammo cap at 5 shots, you have to get up close and personal with them. Either that or meticulously kite them back to your ship or an ammo box somewhere. That is if they b******u away in the process.

    @joe-vertigo-ii It's not just you my friend. My and my buddy took down a fort by ourselves last night and it took close to an hour and a half because of those damn special forces snipers dressed up like skeletons. I mean if they are so good, why are they dead and not already pirate legends themselves?

    @captinzhou Lol that's what I said to my body. These guys are harder to fight than real people!
