SoT Should remove fog from hourglass

  • I was calmly doing allegiance with a friend. Unfortunately, we spawned in the fog. The problem is that, due to the recent HG change (the fact that you instantly explode at the boundary) combined with the fog, we couldn’t see where we were and ended up exploding, after a particularly boring fight where no one was landing any cannon shots. I think a fix for this wouldn’t hurt...

  • Fix for what? If you didn't see anything the other crew didn't as well. Also, let's not pretend you can't use the map to see where you at.

    Take the L with some dignity lol.

  • You can always look at the map, there you'll see how close you are to the border.
    The game also gives you a popup as soon as you touch the border slightly.
    (You won't explode instantly, the boundary has a small zone where you'll still be fine.)

  • While I agree that HG should spawn dive v dive matches with some parameters in place...

    • not in the middle of an ancient meg's range
    • not in the dang fog
    • not in the storm

    ...losing a fog spawn match because you sailed out of bounds is definitely a you problem

  • @sweetsandman you asked for PvP, you got PvP but in a location you didn’t like. You still got what you wished for.

    I mean, you're not wrong... I'd still argue it's bad design.

    If the storm/fog rolls in because you're match is taking too long, that's one thing...but to start it off that way is unfavorable.

    And spawning it on top of an ancient meg is just ridiculous. It's pretty much GG for whoever it targets first, especially if it's the Barnacled Dread.

  • @sweetsandman they already fixed storm spawns in season 8, it can only happen on invades. They just forgot about everything else

  • Remove hoirglass from advent make it its own sever if there an hoirglass fight 30 % of the sever is there making the game feel empty

  • The problem is that, due to the recent HG change (the fact that you instantly explode at the boundary) combined with the fog, we couldn’t see where we were and ended up exploding

    Soo...your blaming the Fog because you couldnt use the Map? Which shows you where the Boarder and enemy ship location.

    I swear, I cant understand the HG only community.
    Hourglass is a Tool for adventure, to PvP on the server. You skip the sailing part to find a like minded player, and arrive on the server as you would if you sailed around and attacked a passing ship. IF it be during a Voyage, Passing Npc or Weather.
    You fight...win or lose, use the Fog to win if you must...

    Seems the biggest issue is not the Fog...but the Boarder...that closes in on you...something you all desired. Never thought about the other stuff.
    Maybe a third party ship stays outside the boarder and has good aim to shoot at you. Sinking you.
