This is why we sink every solo sloop we can find:

    If anyone chooses to solo a sloop they should never complain. I choose it most of the time and rarely get sunk. It's just not that hard.

    Thank you...

    There is someone who gets my point!

    Playing solo is fine! It just needs some understanding of the game the mechanics some skill some strategy....

    I am only saying: too many noobs are solo only and get angry for not being skillfull enough and blame Rare...

    I am scared that rare changes the game because of a loud and unreasonable minority

    @genereder You see, there is the problem.
    You are just as bad as those complaining about being solo and getting killed.
    You are just on the opposite side on the arguement, screaming and shouting back.

    Oh, and as for a 4man Galleon killing a solo sloop. While it may not be griefing, it certainly is a cowardly thing to do.

    How is the galleon supposed to know if the sloop is solo or duo before engaging?

    @genereder I sank a 4 man Galleon, navigated those rocks really well with my sloop, while they were patching up their boat I killed the captain at the helm with a well placed blunder to the head, killed the second sailor in the captain quarter but by the time the other 2 realised what was happening the had beached their ship lost a captains chest and suffered real embarrassment. Although this doesn’t happen much if you have the elements of surprise use the sloop ability to dodge rocks and nothing to lose a 1/2 man sloop can be a pain in the rump .

    @genereder, lol this guy makes this post as a reaction to my post about a game bug, which had nothing to do with the size of my ship nor crew.

    But he assumed I was being a solo sobber, maybe if he read what the situation actually was he would have not made a fool of himself.

    @genereder

    Well.... yes you´re right. But i i think the most problematic point is not the killing of solos
    It´s the killing of ships not manned. No matter if it is a solo small one or a galleon with 4 players.

    Most ppl attack during you´re on a island and not give you a chance for a fair battle out on the sea. they sank your ship during it is waiting in front of an island.

    But well... yes thats a risk in this game you have to handle, too.
    I only wish there would be some kind of reward for the done work so far. maybe the chests can be lost, but why not giving the ppl who found the treasures reward with some exp.

  • Darklaff I 9 I

    @genereder that's pathetic sinking 1 manned ships if me and the boys see solo ships getting bullied by gallys we put them in the ocean

    solo ships should only be attacked if they attack you in anyway

    Thank you for making the game fun too and helpin the solo sloopers out.
    Both of you are are making the game exciting and unpredictable

    @yacantdutchthis maybe sinking ships is just fun? Maybe not for you but I typically attack any ship in range, treasure or not. Fighting is fun. No great story was ever told without PvP. "Once I chased a chicken, then I sold it. The end" doesn't make for exciting adventures :P

    "There were four of us. We sunk that solo guy."

    When you put it that way, that's not very exciting either :P

  • FancyPantzMcGee

    Screw it. All solo sloopers reading this, let us no longer attacking eachother but instead rally together and sink every galleon we see without quarter or purpose beyond sinking them.

    Look probably the majority of these complaints by solo sloopers are knee jerk reaction. Hell I think I had one when a dude farmed a outpost. Two weeks later out of boredom, I farmed an outpost. It is fun as hell.

    My point. Is it is easy to whine when your good time gets pooped on.

    The actual problem is to a degree what you are saying at the beginning of this post, you will for no better reasons than....lack of reason, attack another ship.

    I'll attack anyone if I think I can win and they have stuff for me to take. I will also ignore or even be friendly to any player who seems to just be getting stuff done and doesn't want to fight. Why? Because while I get sometimes I will ruin others fun, for the most part that isn't thing. I would rather we be a bunch of happy pirates.

    But again, if this is he attitude of galleon crews then I encourage sloopers to armada together and go galleon hunting. Two sloops can easily crush a galleon even if they are single man crews.

  • FancyPantzMcGee

    @trickrtreat01 we keep agreeing on the forum. Friend me we can go find galleon crews to pick on.

    Not necessarily agreeing with or refuting anyone here, but for anyone who does play strictly solo, it might be worth your time to crew up on a galleon now and then, to refresh/improve certain skills. It would provide valuable insight that would likely improve your solo game.

    Same vice versa as well. If you haven't tried solo, do so now and then. Might pick up a neat skill you hadn't yet thought of.

    I actually went on a Galleon last night with a couple friends. We cleared a skull fort ( fought off another Galleon in the process) , did a few quests and sank a couple other random ships. It was weird having to work together instead of just doing it all myself.

    Even the developers have had enough of the trears from solo players.

  • Evasive Envy

    Call me weak. Say that I'm not a pirate. Say that I'm too nice, but if I'm on a full crew galleon I will never attack (and encourage my crew to never attack) a solo sloop unless they attack first.

    Why? Because I was taught from a young age that four against one is unfair. It's cheap. It's cowardly. The same rules apply to this game for me.

    Perhaps pirates weren't the most virtuous people but I CHOOSE to be a virtuous pirate. A full crew galleon attacking a peaceful solo sloop... it doesn't sit well with me and I choose to not play a part in ruining someone elses gaming experience just because 'this is a pirate game'.

    If someone has their "whole gaming experience ruined" by being sunk and robbed in a pirate game they never belonged here in the first place.

  • Evasive Envy

    @trickrtreat01 I agree. However, I didn't use the word 'whole'. I was referring to that particular experience.

    No it's not, it's a PvE game with the danger of PvP.
    If this was a PvP game, you'd get rewarded for PvPing. You do not.
    You gain nothing from pure PvP alone, you only gain something from PvE, hence, it is a PvE game with the danger of PvP.

  • Evasive Envy

    @admiral-tweedle Haha. Fair enough. This is a PvEvP game to more precise. It's neither just a PvE game nor just a PvP game. Im just sharing how I prefer to play this game. Other people prefer to emphasize the roleplay aspect and be bloodthirsty pirates. I get that. I don't agree with all of it but I get it.

    I get rewarded every time I PVP. I get treasure or the satisfaction of knowing I sank another ship ( and sometimes both).

  • HolezInYa

    Personally I sail in a solo sloop when I want a challenge, and feel like embarrassing a 4 man crew in a galleon. I know lots of tricks to prevent myself from getting sunk, and many ways to sink a galleon when I’m solo.

    Hope to see you and your crew soon.

  • xX5L1C3RXx

    I guess I really just don’t understand your post....
    I play solo, and have sunk not one or two, but 7 Galleons. All of which have been followed up by hate mail from the 3-4 player crews....
    I’d probably just calm down and play the game 😁

    From PvE, hence my point remains. You get zero, zip, nada from PvP alone in terms of ingame rewards.
    You only get rewards from PvE, or stealing from people who do PvE, which means, PvE helped you.
    So my point remains.

    Im scared that this beautiful game that didnt start as a pvp experience for me will get destroyed by a loud and unreasonable minority who cant handle the risk that comes with their decision to play solo that is by the way in many cases just a noobish lazyness for socialising... thats how it feels! Scared!

  • HolezInYa

    So I logged in today in a solo sloop for a short amount of time. Was that your Galleon that I sunk in my solo sloop?

    Whoever it was could have just sailed past, and I would have gone my way, but they had to attack and turn lol!

  • MrGrim67686

    @genereder Some of us running solo actually know what we're doing. Hope to run across your crew one day and see if y'all can actually pull this off.

    I think you're gonna need an extra couple of barrels to store some KY jelly and advil though, 'cause it's gonna get rough. Stock up.

    I don't really care about treasure. I care about seeing ships slip below the surface. If some treasure floats up great, if not it's ok. The huge smile on my face is good enough.

    This. I don't sit around with my thumb up my butt waiting for a crew to materialize.

    I hop in a solo sloop and go looking for trouble while I wait for tweedle dee, tweedle dum, and tweedle dumber to get their act together and get a galleon started.

    Sometimes I make a couple bucks, a lot of times I never see another ship though. They really need to up server populations.
