Killed by 4 griefers at skeleton fort. Galleon is op.

@admiral-tweedle That's not griefing, that's PvP.
Griefing is when they actively seek you out to ruin your day, these guys just took advantage of you being alone and took the stuff you fought to get.
If they spawncamped you, hunted you down for hours and were just being rude to you, that would be griefing.

[EDIT] I am going to pass some words of wisdom I learned playing EVE Online.

Never fly(In this case, sail) with something you can't easily replace.

@shredder-s47 said in Killed by 4 griefers at skeleton fort. Galleon is op.:

Stop overusing the word griefing. No, there should not be penalties for playing the game the way it is meant to be played. You're either onboard with a game about piracy, or you should play something else.

And here...he is...AGAIN....with the same mentality...

Anyway, OP, if you are alone at a fort and you see boats nearby, your chances are slim to none to get the loot. Your only chance is to get the key, and jump on the ship and hope they stop chasing. OR, hide the key on a island and come back for it later.

NEVER take on a fort alone if there are other boats camping nearby, because they are waiting for the key to drop, and soloing a galleon isnt possible unless they are completely useless.

Take this as a lesson, soloing this game is "hard" mode, it isnt meant for solo play unless you wanna do voyages. Forts are for duos and larger, much like a raid in a MMO cant be done by 1 man.

Nothing is yours until you turn it in at an outpost. Whether it's one chest or a stash full of raid loot. Whether it's a solo sloop or a four man galleon coming to take it from you.

@shredder-s47 So if you get spawn camped every time you join and never allowed to do anything other than die would you think it is also fair?

Spawn camping can be griefing, but it can also just be a precaution to keep a ship undefended while it sinks.

Thankfully Rare has given you an escape hatch - scuttling your ship so it respawns away from the griefers.

@eva1977 That literally doesn't happen ever since they increased the spawn distance. That excuse is no longer valid.

Actually the spawn distance isnt patched, its "altered",and works SOMETIMES. I still see my fresh ship kills spawn in sight.

So yeah, its valid.

@shredder-s47 Correct but that was not my question, I simply asked if you thought that was fair?

I find this so ironic, me and my buddy took down a galleon last night after they defeated the fort. Took all of their loot on our sloop. Never seen a galleon try to run as quickly as they did. Literally sunk them about 100 yards from the outpost.

Best fort experience yet

@blackbeard-lufy hah, good catch. Although, I was enjoying reading all these replies.

@blackbeard-lufy that deserves an upvote. Just comes to show how quickly people react without taking in the full context of things.

Anyways my point was simply that there are different skill levels, some players are extremely good some are not and some are downright awful, with that in mind we can understand that not everyone has the time nor the desire to be at that extreme level or even "good" for that matter and to just brush them aside with lame responses like "get good" or a pirate game that is "not for you" is a lame response so imagine if developers were to respond to complaints in this manner? like it or get out! then why even speak up? not changing the mechanics is essential to keep the initial idea of the game but certainly there can be modifications for players that simply have different abilities.

It's called Sea of Thieves, not Sea of Friends. If you're one of those people who have been complaining about the unfriendly acts of other crews, then you have purchased the wrong game. We can expect slight improvements such as spawn distance to be added to the game, but asking that the entire foundation of the game be changed just to fit your idea of what the game should be is unacceptable. No, we will not get PvE servers. No, we do not feel bad that a crew attacked you while you were innocently docked at an outpost. No, we do not care that you got double crossed by a seemingly friendly crew. Either get onboard or jump ship and go play something more forgiving if you can't handle the Sea of Thieves. If you want friendliness, go play Roblox. The pirates life is not for you.

Couldn't have said it better.

@admiral-tweedle "Griefers"...here we go again

@admiral-tweedle said in Killed by 4 griefers at skeleton fort. Galleon is op.:

They knew I was alone at skeleton fort and waited.
Right when I killed the boss they jumped me and took the key.
Only by joining a team of griefers is there any chance of winning.
Left the server and joined another only to be griefed again.
Logged out until they fix the game.

Penalties should be added against players that continue to grief.
Occasionally ban players that want to ruin the fun for others.
Sloops should have an equal chance against Galleons.
Toxic players are going to be all that's left in 2 months.

Tackling a skele fort solo, I would think you'd go in knowing fully well that you might be rolled for your efforts.

I think I recall Rare specifically mentioning that Skele Fort loot was something that players could fight over...

Just because they rolled you for your fort loot doesn't mean that they "griefed" you. They were just playing pirate.

Whether or not being pirated "ruins your fun" is entirely up to you.
