Cue the Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin when entering combat.

Yes I've seen the threads complaining about it. But it's their own fault for running. If you have no loot why would you run anyways? It is patronizing to board someone's boat with a threat and they have to prove they have nothing to you or else they are done for, right? Yeah man. Don't get behind me. I don't care if I have nothing, or if I have 10k+ . You started the fight by first asking me to stop and show you what I have. That's childish and I don't play that way. Never will. I'm 48/42/36

By us being kind and giving them a choice. To bo free don't to be the Masters of their own destiny, and you sir say childish. I say no to you sir for I am merciful, I am kind but I am not weak. If you are presented with a choice and you choose poorly well sir that is upon you.

Back to my original comment concerning "patronizing". I could care less if you are "merciful", you have to earn your loot off me. You won't see me playing possum.

But the end of this story shall end the same no matter the middle. We will take what we want, However we have a code. Solos get a pass if they do not attack and duo's are a toss up depending on the seas. Galleons will be sunk relentlessly.

I can only see this ending horribly. Do we have the option to mute speaking trumpets completely on our side so we don't have to hear them?

Can’t wait for a 13 year old to insult my mother from 2 miles away using this thing.

This is going to be a nightmare. Luckily adding it will likely crash the server and they'll roll it back 2 days later.

You can try all you want, If we want to see what's on a ship , @DrunkPunk138 and I will see whats on the ship. Whether it's floating up to us or I'm walking around peacefully on your ship.

@ve111a It's people talking this kind of weak childish trash that makes me really dread the Speaking Trumpet.
Do I have to listen to boys pretending to men everywhere on the high seas now?

Don't worry child, We will back it up when we tell you to pull over if you don't we will sink you and take what we want. That's piracy. We are just trying to be nice offering choices how you choice to go from there is your own decision. Calling if weak and childish just shows YOUR character and fear lol.

@ve111a I'll lead ye round Marauder's Arch, and round the Ridge, and round the Smugger's Bay, and through Thieves' Haven's caves before ye'll board my ship. I'll give me life, me ship an' me cargo to the Red Sea rather than have a scoundrel like you set one foot upon her deck.

But more likely than not, I'll watch as the sharks feast on ye as ye sink beneath the brine. Aye, y'll see what's on my ship, for it be the Angel of Death to any who o'er steps the mark.

We shall see laddy we shall see. When you hear the crack of thunder and fall forward you will remember my words, and the taste of my steel.

I have not been using the in game chat (either discord or Xbox Party), since it's such a big disadvantage having other crews hear what you are saying on your own ship.

I hope that with the Trumpet, they switch local chat to only be heard among the crew, and that the trumpet becomes the actual mean of talking publicly.

Otherwise, the trumpet's presence will be greatly diminished by people not even being in the game's voice chat to use it in the first place.

Why would you expect a game to make something work outside of its mechanic? You are supposed to be heard by enemy crews at close proximity. If you don’t want the risk you don’t get the reward. Why would they reward party chat or third party chat when they want you using game chat.

I'm not sure what about my post made you feel like I wanted them to make something work outside of its mechanics? I'm suggesting that they should change local chat to private, and Trumpet as the new main to talk to other crews, so that we actually see pirates using the in game chat.

I VERY rarely encounter players in the local chat, and when I do, we usually destroy them because they advertize their tactics over the mic.

If anything, at least give us a crew chat and a local chat input key, otherwise its still an incentive to use Discord or Party Chat (Which are both widely supported by the devs, btw).

If the game existed in a vacuum, sure that would be fine. But it doesn't and the devs have to keep in mind that XBOX players are much more likely to get into a party chat than otherwise, and that will undermine the use of the Trumpet.

@drunkpunk138 If you honestly think that a crew will let you inspect their ship to prove they don’t have anything, you’re dreaming. I know I wouldn’t. I would fight it out even if I didn’t have anything. If a crew was put in that situation all they would have to do is fight or scuttle because there’s nothing to lose! People are way too prideful to let someone “inspect” their ship.

The outcome will be the same, We will take what we want and are offering them a way out and to not waste time. In our experience it works quite well when we are constantly gaining on them and killing them relentlessly when they try to board. It's a choice , Everyone likes choices.
