1 ship vs 2 ships in season 8

    I was playing the new pvp mode and was having a good time. I was nearing the end of a fight with my enemy almost defeated when another ship joined the battle. This made it really unfun as I had to do a 1 vs 2. It practically reset all the progress I had made on the battle. Could there be something to stop players joining mid way through the matches?

    The battles take place in Adventure, so no it can't be stopped.

    thank goodness for it imo

    it allows the contrived to have potential for random interaction

    is it for everyone? definitely not
    is it understandable that sometimes it will be frustrating to people? yeah

    is it good for longevity to have things unpredictable sometimes? yeah, very much so

    I think it's a good thing that others can join in to ruin a fight. Way more dynamic and interesting

    Honestly, im still just waiting for a fight like that, sounds like a fun challenge, its just pure chance.

    I don’t know why Rare went through the effort of making sure you were queued up against the same ship type you are on if they are going to allow other ships in anyway.

    @scurvywoof yea, I am of the mixed feelings variety about it personally. On the one hand, it is very chaotic and "Sea of Thieves" like which is a solid fit for Adventure Mode. On the other hand, it is counter intuitive to all the efforts in developing a Crew/Ship/Skill matchmaking system as that is a lot of layers of balancing that they are accounting for but then allowing for that to be skewed in any number of ways.

    I'm legitimately torn on it in all honesty. Which puts me in the camp of not caring if they leave it or tweak it. It is unique in what it is doing to say the least, and there is something to be said for that. It is a weird thing, like many weird things in this game that are somewhat unique to it.

    Can be rough but that's the seas for you, I came out against a solo sloop yesterday to find a reaper gally nearby. The sloop left bounds and sank and gslly chased me, managed to kill the boarder that anchored me and led them on a bit of a time waste chase. I was tempted to red sea which isn't something I normally do but they got krakened so I could move far enough to invade next server. Karma lol

    Had a really funny situation yesterday. There was a sloop fight going on and a reaper brig seemed to have jumped in on that action too. This poor sloop would've lost that battle outnumbered, but lucky for them, we came invading the brigantine. Had a fun 2 v 2 in the same space. I'm glad that such occurrences can happen.

    @funnyqchen that would be a cool situation but spawning on a solo sloop and 2 brigs allied waiting for invaders is not fun. seen a lot of similar stories as well. i think alliances should be disabled if you have the hour glass active
