Hey everyone, relatively new to SoT, just curious, I was just carrying around maybe 30k in stuff, and some random sloop just appeared beside me (level 5 reaper emissary), even though they weren't there just moments ago (I was on the wheel looking around), then they fired their cannons at me UNREASONABLY fast. Like, so fast I couldn't even repair before another 2 or 3 holes were blown in my ship.
Now, this player was OBVIOUSLY just one of those troll players that go around sinking ships not for the loot, but just because it annoys other players. So I am far from upset about the loot. It wasn't that much anyways. (And hey, that's SoT for ya. Everyone just trying to make everyone else mad. Why that's the objective of seemingly everyone idk, but it is what it is).
What I am curious about, how the heck did they fire their cannon so fast, why did they not miss a single cannon ball, and mostly...
Why the heck was their boarding player glowing like a phantom, but glowing gold? And why is it that despite me hitting him with dozens of shots, and sword hits, he didn't eat or anything. Almost as if he's invincible. Is this some in game item I just don't know about? Why couldn't I kill him?
Were they cheating? It feels like they were cheating, but I don't know. I mean, Gamepass games that crossplay between PC and Xbox are pretty much all absolutely rife with cheaters. [mod edit]
Is that what this was? Am I justified in feeling cheated out of my measley 30k? Am I right to just waive them off as cheaters, trolls, and nothing more?
Or is there some item in the game that makes you fricken invincible??? Because if so, needless to say, I'd like to know so I can get that item too!
I tried to do some googling, but came across no answers. Maybe someone here can help?
