Unpopular suggestion... Could we get training swords and training guns

    Feel like this must come up alot but feel the need for crew to be able to practice pvp amongst themselves. Would give an activity to do between point a to point b also would help newer players to acclimate to sot style of pvp. Sailors would feel less vulnerable if they could practice rather than being attacked from another crew with everything on the line. Maybe how we guild invite we could have a version that allows a crew mate to agree to a duel. Or we could equip practice swords like we have in trinkets maybe a gun versions with a cork in it?

    Curious on your opinions on this.

    Then they arent really practicing pvp, just a friendly sparing match. If you want a real practice, experience is best choice.

    @burnbacon well the point would be so folks are prepared for the actual experience rather lacking experience against experienced players. Would create less a learning curve for all play styles and a way to bond with your crew

    @cannytwocrows bind with crew

    You can edit your post by using the little ship-wheel at the end of the post

    It's not an unpopular suggestion, many want that...there are some flaws with it...if you are practising with your crewmate, let's say if we got an option like in Borderlands, where you melee your friend and he has to melee back so the practising can start...now you're in the middle of it and another crew comes up to you and fights you, but you still got that kind of "friendly fire" on, while fighting your opponent you kill accidentally your crewmate...comes actually with more frustration imo...

    Also NO to invite another ship out of your guild...that would be an even easier way to create alliance servers, or does make the game unfair for other crews on the server

    I have no real solution for this, maybe an emote to start a fight with your crew, I don’t know...I don’t know how's the programming behind this, maybe this could be an issue too, as we never got anything told about this suggestion and this has been requested since over 6 years

    @schwammlgott thank you so much on how to edit. Not asking though on anything with guild ships other than using as an example to have a crew mate agree to a deal to turn on friendly fire. And yes scenarios can unfold but still folks being able to train outside of losing everything would improve most folks game play.

    Sure, I'm all in for this suggestion...but as I said, I don’t know how hard this is to program...

    @schwammlgott same seriously love the dev team on this game. Been my favorite since I started playing. Only try to make suggestions that could actually help players. Although still wish I could a crow for my man in war event idea four years ago.

    Unlikely to be implemented. I think the devs want crews to focus their energy outwards and towards their environment and rival crews. Also, it's a great way to be toxic and harass your crew if things eventually go awry.

    @jumbie7311 ya never know people thought alliances would never come, and being able to buy supplies, safer seas, they may end up figuring out and implementing it. Looking forward to it if they do. Only way I have been practicing pvp is in hg and allowing the other crew to sink me for their time and helping me practice.
