Goodbye, and good luck in the future

I’d like to express a sorrow for you as the game can be overwhelmingly enjoyable. I’ve solo slooped since day one. Did a few things with a couple of crews here and there. But 80% of my way to many hours played was solo.

I’ve experienced just about every thing this game can offer and been on the receiving end of some pretty ugly people. While it’s unfortunate there isn’t some for of a Mod in game that can be called like an MMO. You can mute all other players at least.

However being attack right when you log on shouldn’t annoy you. Use it as PvP practice.

When I get on to play I never get on with a set goal in mind. That way I won’t be disappointed. I’ll put down the voyage I want to complete or go out and collect what I want and what ever happens happens.

Sometimes I think players take their gaming way to serious. As if the whole world saw what happened and you’ll be ridiculed. Aside from MLG tourneys no one really cares what you do in a video game. So just enjoy the game for its sandbox cartoony pirate theme.

@k1lroyw4sh3r3 You just loaded into a server, just got a few steps in.. when you hear Cannons.. and see you're boat burning and sinking at the same time. (Remember this is the retail build so all that extra stuff isn't going to make this pvp any less stressful)
Is that "Sporting" behaviour or is that just defecating into someone's food bowl just because you couldn't control your impulses.. in other words "you felt like it"

@civildistrophey K bye.

@simplelyricc but he is describing people playing the game as intended. If this game as it's designed is not what hes looking for he should play something else. People need to understand a few things

Sinking a new spawn at an outpost is not toxic or griefing.
Taking fort loot from someone who just finished a fort is not toxic or griefing.
Spawn camping is not toxic or griefing.
Sinking a boat for no other reason than to sink it is not toxic or griefing.

This is a shared world pvpve game. You do not get pve or pvp by itself. I hope the OP finds a game they enjoy.

I agree, even suggested something similar in an earlier post.
There should be a blast of energy from the ferryman's boat that knocks off all boarders or damages them for half health or more kinda like a powder keg.. this will stop "Spawn-Campers" but it should not be used for Mermaid spaens because you left your ship unattended.

Seems fair right?

Suggest that in it's own topic and just watch the PvP Players Complain and Detract without giving a clear reason why this would hurt the game other than that the PvP "Will suffer" and that players will leave.. yes, the Jerks and Trolls will leave when they can no longer stress someone into tears.. and good riddance, we want them gone.

The only ones I paid attention to where the ones explaining how something could possibly back-fire.. they were the only ones who seemed to have actually ran it through their heads and though "How would I approach this"

@civildistrophey

Bon voyage Matey.
The days will turn to night, the tides will continue to ebb and flow.
If you ever find yourself back on these waters.
There shall still be plenty to plunder.

edit: It's a pity, like many.
You chose to join the forum just "hours" ago.
To post... such a post.

It's a pity for the health of the "community" that it continues to be an issue re. first time posters.
They basically say something for the 1st time... and then for the last time. The one time.
I'm thankful... however... for a change, you do have the eloquence to carry your argument without venom.
These usually end up... with the OP throwing the toys out of the pram.

One would almost think, that maybe for the first Seven days, "New Members" should be unable to post in this manner.
.... Oh I wonder, if there has been a recent post/topic on this issue :)

@simplelyricc it's called scuttle. you have control to get out of being spawn camped.

there is some that just keep you ship alive to force out some salty tears an outrage.
My best advice is dont, you dont have to shuttle, but dont start a conversation with them, since that is just fuel for those types.

If I get in a situation where someone park up next to me to spawn camp me, I just wait in the ferry for some minutes, maybe peek out an see if they let me sink or left, killed again? just wait on the ferry, an wasted they time, an the oppetunity for another crew to come an ambush them while they are on your ship

@simplelyricc no it's not. there are reasons to spawn camp.

@greencamillion1 Yeah, I saved One Kid from Campers near Cannon Cove.. Could hear the poor kid crying when I was nearby so I set a banana on the Griefers stove and then filled them with enough holes to let the kid escape.. watched their sails burn trying to catch me.

@simplelyricc well if I put myself in a situation to get spawn camp, I have probably shot at them myself.
An maybe I waste a little time, but for a PLA10, If you short at me an if you HIT my ship, then revenge is on the menu.
An from a mathematics standpoint, they are wasting 2-4 the time that Im wasting.

@piratecraggy Yes, I legit made this last night and by this morning I am about done with the Community.. not the Game, The game is excellent.. the Players less so..

Mostly in their mentality and unwillingness to see further than their own fun.

I'd rather Play a CoD Free-for-All with Wall Hackers, but instead I subjected myself to this Forum and the PvP players who shout down anyone explaining what they're doing as bullying.
Not to mention I got heated, so I didn't filter what I typed (just had to "Sanitize" it in order to post it)

@civildistrophey said in Goodbye, and good luck in the future:

mentality and unwillingness to see further than their own fun.

Well.. you got me there matey. Completely agree.
It's a shame, you have joined the forum late... to leave so soon.
That.. and now the game.
At least for a while.

edit: It's a pity... we needed you here.. in the forum, before now.

@simplelyricc moving loot, moving supplies, waiting for the boat to sink.

@simplelyricc if you are getting spawn camped and cant recover just scuttle.

@piratecraggy Why?
I'm just some guy with a Dirt life, who has OCD and Aspergers.. I can't understand people and it really makes things like this hard because it was one of the only ways I kept in contact with my brother.. But the Bullies win.. let the [mod edit] destroy this game.. I'm done with the Condescending "Advice" I've been getting and I'm done with the [mod edit] who think that just because they've nosed their way up to an internet forum title it somehow invalidates the issues brought up by others.. especially new players trying to tell the Dev's what is making the game hard to break into.. it's not the learning curve of the mechanics, let me tell you that for sure.

Most of you don't even give much thought into how horrible you really are

@civildistrophey Insulting other people and calling them "[user edit - before it gets mod edited ;D" doesn't really help you make a point when you try to complain about "toxic players".

But maybe that's just me.

@l4chsfps So replies the aforementioned "Naghty Word"

@civildistrophey

Suggestion take a break, play some other games.
You obviously love the core of the game.
Stay involved. Continue at least with "Insider" work... help on it's direction.
Provide feedback, we need voices such as yours. Get involved.
We need voices from all over ( including ones others may not agree with )
A game for all. Outside looking in... you still have a role.

@civildistrophey I quoted you and quite clearly used quotation marks. If that's the level of discourse you want this thread to come down to - good luck, it is clear that you are not trying to be constructive in any matter whatsoever.

@civildistrophey

Condescending "Advice"

Well... with your last response & attitude like that.
Guess you are on your own.

..moving on matey... next topic

@piratecraggy I'm sorry, I uninstalled both.
I'm staying on the forum for 24hrs to see if I can maybe relay to a Dev my personal experience over Xbox, it might be something the have no control over or it might be something that can be addressed.
Never will know unless somebody asks right?

But @L4chsFPS is the kind of example of condescension, adding the fact they seem to take my words or outrage towards PvP bully types, personally.

We get it, you like to Gank people because you just can't be bothered to actually work for some loot.

I can get sinking someone for their loot.. but fish? And Consistently?

This attitude of Defecating in others food bowls, just because you can, has got to be curbed.

I don't know who said it earlier, but there should be a sort of "Black Spot" that marks known trolls and Gankers to all players.. maybe more of a mark of shame.. but Mark them, let the community decide afterwards
