Buggy? No. What you're experiencing is a desync between pirates. In other words, your opponent isn't actually where you think he is and vice-versa. It's the game's networking code trying to compensate between the 2 of you.
Exactly, buggy.
That's not a bug, bro... that's literally just hardware limitations. xD
If it were consistent, then I could agree with you. With the sporadic behavior and frequency at which things like this occur, it is buggy.
It is not intended to be this way, and they are actively trying to fix it; it is buggy.
Or, it's inconsistent, because ONE of the two people in this scenario, has a potato internet connection? :P
50Mbps, ping in the 80's.
I could also agree with a server latency issue if all parties involved saw different things in regards to positioning and firing, but that wasn't the case in the two scenarios I mentioned.
The sloop was a streamer we encountered on the seas, and what was one his screen as far as positioning was roughly the same as one our end. Crewmember was near the wheel with the streamer when he jumped up to the railing and fired at the same time toward the front of the boat. One shot while almost to the bowsprit on his screen, and just barely on the ramp of the bowsprit on ours while he was midair to the railing. Confirmed BS by our crewmate who was right behind him attacking.
Similar situation on the Brig the other night, but with less movement. The Brig was anchors to the side of the dock at Plunder Outpost where my crewmates wiped the other crew on the island while I steadied our Brig and put some shots there way. They had a good amount of supplies, so I went over to load up. When I climbed up the starboard side, walked in front of the mast to the rear port cannon to unload a CCB and player spawned behind the wheel, turned in positioned and blundered me as I was about to unload the cannon. Crewmate was jumping from the dock to the boat by the wheel when it occurred and called BS before I even could.
Buggy is a broad term, and I feel it accurately fits the situations described and many others.
