@xultanis-dragon
this just a duplicate of the "best update ever" thread below, mate!

edit: just read the other thread. youve reposted verbatim to create a new thread!
i get that you've been triggered because folk are agreeing that this is an awful, broken update and you dont share that opinion but you should know better than to create duplicates.

What's wrong? Duplicates are only good when people agree with them?

Not that it's even a whole duplicate thread like the anti-pvp, anti-pc, anti-crossplay recurring bleats we keep seeing, there's 1 line repeated and the rest in trying to explain why it's normal for this fort to be harder and longer, which seems to really elude many people.

I think it's a valid PSA no? Or does it trigger you that folks are enjoying the update and aren't all pouting?

@bloodybil duplicates are against forum rules, mate.

Tell that to the crossplay brigade, mate.

@bloodybil (follow up)

Actually it's kinda funny how when different people keep creating threads on the same subjects saying basically the very same exact thing (against crossplay, pc, pvp):

"Oh that's all right, these people are only giving their opinions and feedback! It's a forum right? They have the right to speak their mind!"

When a couple of posts are a bit similar saying how they appreciate an update and thank Rare for the good work and fun times:

" 📞 Uh yeah, duplicate police? There is someone over here enjoying something I don't, and it kinda screws up my narrative and we can't have that. Thanks, I'll be waiting."

EGX panel shows they see the real numbers in terms of what the community is appreciating or not and seeing through the players claims, whatever side.

I kinda love how this posts reads a little bit like a sergeant drill. And it kinda pushes out the reasons why it's the first update or the first thing Rare included I don't care about. Because it's not worth the effort for me. To be fair, I'm fine with having pvp engagements during my voyages. We have them on a regular basis and I think my crew and I is doing fine dealing with others and sink ships on a regular basis.
Thing is, when we play SoT, the thing we dislike the most about it, how this game can push one time waster after another on you. Yes, you can rush voyages or tall tales, if you want. But that's not fun. So we engage everything at a normal speed as it's actually intended.
And FotD is in that regard another thing full of potential time wasters like getting the flames, fighting a skeleton lord e.g. Add PvP engagement to this, which tbh. are probably more fun than the actual Fort on one hand. On the other you have a huge disadvantage as the fort defender, who started it. Even if you succesfull defend it, you will run out of ressources, while there are potential multiple ships attending.
And if no alliance is formed on the server, most likely the crew with the longest stamina will get the Fort done.
Honestly I did the time limited stuff this update and maybe try to do the Fort, when a servers is weak populated. But I prefer normal voyages with pvp encounters over this and don't see how this is the best update ever.
