Do something about quickswape or double gunning.

  • Dude playing sot while you are a og trying to double gun but go against pc mouse dpi sword bots, due how does rare expect us to fight with pc sword users when even the blunderbuss can’t even 1 shot someone when he is standing in front of you. Rare needs to nerf sword or give back quickswape or give back original blunderbuss

  • @ron1508 ....use a sword?

  • The day rare finally makes sword a perm weapon….im gonna buy 3000 ac just for the lulz

    Heck. Blunderbombs have become the new damaging threat against quick swap and dg
    Heck even the classic multiple cargo crates around the ship.

  • @look-behind-you dude as someone who has played game since arena and nal, double is the meta and always is but dude rare can’t stop. I want to say more but probably rare would ban me like they did to my main acc in nal

  • @look-behind-you , we can talk about what I really want, outside here because I know it’s rare. Probably message me on Xbox and I can tell you real issue, RON1508 gt

  • @ron1508 As someone who has played since before the game was actually released, M.E.T.A's don't interest me.

    I play how I want and not how a Youtube video tells me I "should".

    Trust me, it is better that way.

    Not relying on exploits/crutches that will ultimately get fixed, is a better way.

  • Swords should be able to block bullets.

  • So OP is angry people with a sword can beat his double-gun meta, and wants the return of exploits, or Blunder 1-shots, to 'fix' it?

    Nah. Learn how to play around sword users, use a sword yourself, or just get better at doublegunning.

  • The way they expect you to fight against pc sword users is to be mobile, or change your equipment since not every weapon is supposed to be an instant game win. And if you arnt on pc and think it unfair to play against pc for any argument you could make under the sun, you can disable cross platform and stick to console only servers.

    If you refuse to adapt to changing situations and keep trying to go at it the same way only to fail, that isnt an issue with the game.

    Seeing this just made me realize how pointless my last post was to make. Metas change, even if you dont want to. Try something beyond "meta" and you might be surprised how much fun you can actually have doing something different, and how effective it can actually be.

  • Metas change, even if you dont want to. Try something beyond "meta" and you might be surprised how much fun you can actually have doing something different, and how effective it can actually be.

    Like using Grapple gun and Blowpipe.
    Serious, Meta in video games are for Comp players who play video games to win cash. Since this game doesnt have one....(thank god) no reason to bother with whatever gets you "easy wins" :P

    Faster we all learn this lesson and agree, faster we all can come back together as pirates and not bouncing bunnies.

    Yep me and the regulars I play with are the same, we play the way we want and it works well.

    Don't listen to streamers etc, most their tactics don't work.

    Streamers say don't use kegs or put them in your mast, we do both and rarely have any issues and take out a lot of ships doing it.

    I still belive it should only be one gun + one sword etc.

    Slot 1: Shotty, Sniper, Pistol, Double etc
    Slot 2: Sword, Harpoon, Knives, blow dart etc

  • A sword being useful at close range on a deck? Who'd have thought. It's balanced now, double gun should be useful at range, sword up close. For the sword to be effective you still have to use good amounts of movement and sword hops to make it work. Use the right weapons for the scenario you're in.

    Even then, meta does not mean what is actually the best, it just means what most people think is the best. And then when something changes in the current "meta" of a game, you either have people who understand it changes that change their strategy, or people like here who even after its changed to be not viable in the way it was used for years, they claim "it is the meta and that wont change" even though the equipment and use case has changed completely. Like here some meta players honestly think the meta is what they use, and everything else is either just bad, or over powered and needs to be made weaker than their gear.

    Meta people confuse me so much since they just look up whats best, then refuse to use anything else or accept something else could be just as good if not better. Even warframe has people who seem to go wild for meta builds even though that is a pve game that you can take on end game with starter weapons. At least with that people understand that metas change when balance is reworked or new gear comes out.
