We need a fix for Pirate legend trolls.

@tortuousstorm3

Unfounded, & a some what unfair appraisal IMHO.
Each to his own... I guess
Plently of Legends... doing great things.

@tortuousstorm3 seems like you have been through a tough session.

Not all legends are toxic trolls nor are all toxic trolls legends.

The ones that hunt you are PvP oriented or trolls or just in the mood for some action. There is a whole other set of legends doing their own thing, helping others out, which avoid combat unless provoked and unless you stumble into them you will not notice them.

Now, I wouldn't characterize myself as a peaceful legend and I try sneaky things all the time. Though I am also not sailing the seas with that as my mission. I am out hunting for treasure and I see what tales the sea is preaching which I more than happily take part in, which has been my approach from day one.

I have stories of epic battles, casual sailings, epic losses, thieving masterpieces and frustrating infuriating tales of betrayal and violence. Addition forgot to mention the epic collaborations or being a 1 life merc.

Legends tend to do it all, based on which tale is told that day is up to you, the sea and the pirates you encounter. Learn from them and adjust your fate in the future.

Don't let a couple of pirates paint the picture of us all, we are more diverse than you think.

My friend and I have had the same problem three sessions in a row, we are doing a skull fort when, upon finishing the fort ... 'whats that i see coming from behind Wanderer's Refuge?' But of course, a full crew of 'Bored Pirate Legends' wearing full PL or Ghost gear in an Athena's ten galleon coming to take our loot! Reason: None, Material Objective: None, Wishes: To make my day a misery. Three times its happened and three times consecutively we've had to use the mega keg to get rid of them.

Whilst I am aware that not all PLs are like this - some want PvP, some want money, I have a problem with the ones who 4 vs 2 you then once you finally get taken out having taken 2 or 3 down with you. Guess what? They gloat on the Ferry about how they 'haha, wrecked you mate guffaw, guffaw, guffaw e.t.c'

A videogame god complex if you will.

Dude chill! You're jumping to conclusions.

Reason: contest stronghold loot
Trash talk: pretty common at all levels in PvP

Skull forts are a PvP beacon and waiting for others to clear it before going in for the loot has been a tactic since day one.

I do not see this as trolling or pirate legend specific behavior other than wearing their flashy outfits, they did that before in sailor standard visuals.

This tale you are telling is not illustrative of the toxic ill willed legends you want to illustrate. It is just a tale from the sea of Thieves.

But when they stand nothing to gain but money (and have full max tier ghost cosmetics) and ,upon sinking your brig/sloop and killing you, are so offensive and in the middle of the day, with the server heaving with brigs and galleys, decide to attack my little sloop.

I get PvP, I get grinding for money, I DON'T on the other hand get camping behind a rock for thirty minutes with the intention of stealing from, but particularly BM'ing a crew that poses 0 threat and 0 challenge.

I'm sorry but I struggle to understand the mentality of it.

(That and the god complex)

@clumsy-george
And I appreciate and love that element of this amazing community. Its just that there is a certain type of PL, rare albeit, thats soul objective is to prove themselves better, be rude and abusive and to troll the teams they join to power their god complex.

You remember the bad experiences more than the good ones. Still, I love the nice PL and quite frankly the nice players in general who help in your crew and from other crews.

@urihamrayne
Sorry, having an opinion. I love this game and the majority of people in it. I'll leave opinions to experts such as yourself. If this community had no 'badgeless forum posters' it would represent what? 1% of the community.

@goedecke-michel
The crews in my experience have (in two of three scenarios) sailed away without the loot as they don't need it or want it.

@goedecke-michel
Perhaps not, but thats what they've done.

@urihamrayne
Sorry if it was meant as a joke but having spent the past ten minutes responding to angry replies, its a bit hard to differentiate.

@knifelife
I know, but me and a friend who is new to the game can struggle to stand up to a 4 man galleon.

@urihamrayne At any rate, see you on the seas I guess.... Though preferably not UrihamRayne. I can have an opinion and these forums are supposed to cover everyone - see from all perspectives. Its people like you that make it a hell of a lot harder for new players to join the community and share their experiences with your snide comments and 'jokes' constantly coming through.

@clumsy-george
Its people like Clumsy George that make it easier.

@clumsy-george
I completely agree, my original post was generalising - but after this happening three consecutive times, I was completely fed up. This games great gameplay, community and adventure greatly outweigh the less nice people and experiences. People will remember the bad experiences better in an otherwise good game in the same way people remember the good experiences in an otherwise toxic game i.e Overwatch Competitive (i love that game all the same, before i'm berated once more).

I'm a pirate legend. I'll say that I sometimes do that. Let's be honest, it's fun. Even if you aren't a pirate legend. But I also help newbies in the game doing their voyages and that kind of stuff. Also, I rarely do alliances. And some tips: Never, trust a pirate. NEVER. Also, your ship is your most valuable bounty, never leave your ship alone or unattended.

Edit: Also, I mostly never attack noobie ships or players. I only attack players who have or appear to have some experience. Because, it's not fun ruining the experience of a newbie, and also it's not fun if it's sooo easy.
