@oo-x9-oo sounds like you wont be happy with dg or sword. And if your 3 hit is being interrupted it means they are blocking.

Sure hit reg could use work for both the guns and cutlass. Thing have been improved but still have a ways to go. One thing to consider is the physics of the world moving, something most other games dont have to worry about.

If you want to post constructive feedback people might take you seriously. But let's be honest, this thread will go the same direction as your last and end up locked.

Have fun on the seas, dont take it too seriously, games are for fun.

@Bugaboo-Bill and @Galactic-Geek it seems like you guys have never had these pvp problems. You should not be going against what someone has said if you pve all day. This is a pvp topic not a pve topic. Everyone who is more of a pvp player would know that sometimes your 3 hit combo gets interrupted even when you get the first hit. This is not because they block but simply they just swing back.

@jc152003

Pretty sure those 2 could take down everyone in this thread so far...

Any changes to weapons do need a pve voice in them, otherwise pve gets wonky. It's a PvPvE game. Combat works fine. It's supposed to give poorer players little opportunities to surprise a overconfident "good" player. Bad player gets excited and plays more. Good player learns to not sword spam themselves.

@pithyrumble but now I've posted here lol.

@PithyRumble trust pve won’t ever get wonky. Pve is the only thing that the devs care about which is why it is at a solid state right now. I never said this wasn’t a pve and pvp game. Pve is huge part in this game. However, pvp as of now is absolute garbage because of the endless bugs and problems.

My statement stands...

Not like there's a reliable way to 1v1 anyone anyways

@pithyrumble I'm assuming they play PC while I play xbox so little to no real competition there

@Bronzeinquiztor don’t worry we can easily kill them if we just spam RT.

I don’t sword spam. I double gun. Yes u can avoid players who sword spam. But it is very hard to do so when there are 3 coming after u.

@jc152003 I use sword flintlock since starting the game

@oo-x9-oo pets, shanties, and emotes are all fun additions to the game. New content like ghost ships or the emissary system were needed content updates.

I agree hit reg needs to be fixed. But it is a complicated system and they have made tweaks that hopefully result in fixes slowly happening. For me personally I think the weapons are good where they are at, but only if hit reg is fixed. I'm usually sword/blunder or sword/EoR. I've had plenty of occasions where event a point blank blunder doesnt kill someone or knock them back.

Before you slam me for the weapon choice, I'm also usually the guy on cannon/ladder duty and cqc sword/blunder is best, but still mighty frustrating when you get a hit and it seems to do nothing.

I wouldnt worry about the game dying for hit reg, if anything it might benefit the game sadly because it makes it that much harder for people who enjoy pvp or pvpve and easier for the pve crowd.

I'd just keep plugging along and if you have the time, join the insider program and offer testing for hit reg, as they usually push "fixes" there first.

the 1 v X is an unfair arguement

your facing 3 people your just ONE guy

you aren't suppose to be able to kill 3 people alone with ease

you are outmanned

no matter the weapon your either out sharpend or out gunned pick your poision

so please the stop using the 1vX as a base arguement to nerf something

you picking a fight with 3 people alone is your mistake

furthermore the game isn't a first person shooter

the game doesn't even focus much on the combat aspect which is why the combat is very simple and not too complicated with gimmicks abilities the only power you have is your power in crew numbers and pure tactical skill planning ahead upon your endeavours

i don't know why alot of people have gotten it twisted thinking this game is a first person shooter

a 1v3 and you losing that fight is fair

i have won 1v1's 1v2's 1v3's 1v4's

but the more numbers there are the harder it gets OBVIOUSLY

so yes it being hard to avoid 3 sword players is completly fine theres 3 of them only so much space to be at don't bring long range weapons to a sword fight

and don't solo board galleons even if your decent at the game only so much a lone person can do

that being said i have one question for you its very important you answer this

how did you deal with sword spammers before the buff?

@oo-x9-oo said in Fix your game:

@captain-coel they should hire people to test their bugs I’m not going to do it unless I’m getting paid it’s not my job to do that

this is why bugs don't get fixed imagine if everyone started thinking like you did

"oh im not going to do it its not my job"

well enjoy playing with your bugs then????

had i spent money on something imma atleast make sure its playable and report bugs to make the game more fun

you get reward with gold, doubloons, and unique cosmetics. You also get ot experience the new pve content early as well as changes to the arena.

Also you really stop calling people a bot etc. just makes people take anything you post less than serious.

You can also point out pve issues with hit reg, my favorite example is floating barrels.

@oo-x9-oo said in Fix your game:

@jollyolsteamed everyone makes a post listening all the bugs and they don’t do anything stop defending rare u Pve bot pick up a eye of reach and go in arena 5 games and u will see how bad this game is

pve bot? mah dood i been playing for 3 years

i've seen more pvp than you'll ever see in arena in a year

i'm not denying the fact that arena was a bad game mode from the start

arena was one of those moments where i thought finally a mode where i will win based on how many pirates i slay!

but nay!

it was a mode where you uh.. dig chests and make sure nobody else gets them ooorrr you steal them basically...adventure with points..

anyway got off topic

but your point is

"rare why the bleep is close quarter combat beating my long range weapons in close combat!! U MAK NAY SENSE!"

hurdurhuu i say!

drop your long ranged if your going to fight close ranged DUUH

sorry but every post about "why is EOR trash at close combat" just makes me laugh and go

In my opinion double gunning shouldn't even be a thing. To me every pirate should have one gun and a sword. I think more focus should be put towards sword combat. Have the ability to not only block, but counter as well. If you successfully time a block (not just hold it) then the other player should stumble for a bit giving you a chance to counter attack. It should be more about skill and timing than just spamming a button.

As far as one gun goes, i think you should be able to trade you gun with a fallen foes gun from the ground if they die (it would reset the ammo for that gun). That way you can still have a chance to keep shooting it you run out of ammo, but you'll need to use a sword to kill then if you do run out.

Just my opinion. I don't have a problem with the way things are currently, but things can always be improved
