Hey, I would really appreciate it if the number of players in the galleon would be increased by 1 - or alternatively a new ship model comes into play, on which 5 people can play together.
So we wouldn't have to leave anyone out in our private group, just because there is no place left, and we could finally all play together.
@darkdragon7341 said in Increase number of players on the galeon:
@europa4033 No, I just want a friend not to have to watch and can participate
Yeah, sadly in this game, it would make galleons too imbalanced. Having 4 players on cannons while being able to steer that ship, would make it a bit too overpowered for brigs and sloops. Just having an extra person to help bilge would make it that much harder to sink. Once custom servers are here, you'll be able to make any crew size you want!
So if in the long run, you one day decide to sail on a Duo Sloop.
Somewhere...a 5 man galleon appear, instead of 2v4 there is now 5 players to deal with. Instead of the galleon firing 4 cannons at once, now they are steering the ship and firing, or all 5 decide to board.
You think that be fun for everyone? 4 is balanced.
I remember back in the day...2 galleon crews decided to board together on a single Galleon, 8 men all together. 4 below and 4 above.
imagion you coming across that.
@europa4033 No, I don't think the galleon will be there too op because the galleon is not manoeuvrable enough like the sloop or a two-mast that with the bilge is okay understand I would take longer to sink yes but you also relieve the bilge a bit of work I'm really just really only concerned that my colleague is not excluded because there is no more space
@europa4033 And if that's really the case that the octopus, megalodon and skeleton ships could appear at once at the same time what happened to us yesterday is really and another manned player sloop would be there another player really appropriate with a galleon that we had even to 3 at a brigade had to do badly which was completely in vain since we sank and with a galleon it would also be even worse and longer to get rid of the octopus like the megalodon!
It's just not meant to be any offence, I just really want no one to be excluded and into such. Cases also the bilge is somewhat relieved and a good boarder can also prove the opposite that also a 5 man galleon can sink say only PvP lvl ü150 or more or unexpectedly good players who do not play PvP ^^
Yeah so, there are 4 roles for the galleon: helm, cannon, bilge, and flex. By adding a fifth person to the galleon, you increase it's chances against other ships significantly, as the additional person would make galleons overpowered. You'd be able to have 2 board other ships without any loss of firepower or repairs. The imbalance wouldn't be fair to other players in this game.
The number of players each ship accommodates is balanced for fairness against other ships. They're not going to disrupt that balance to accommodate your friend group. Next week we'll probably have someone asking for 6 players on a galleon.
With custom servers in season 20, you'll have no problems having everyone on your ship on your own server, so you're sure to have a lot of fun!
@darkdragon7341 Your friend doesn't have to watch and CAN participate.
Make a sloop with 2 guys, make a brig with the other 3, & play together that way. :)
No need to be on 1 ship per se.
The problem with having 5 or 6 people on a galleon is that the game wouldn't be properly balanced anymore.
4 decent players on a galleon are already near unbeatable for any other crew/ship in the game. :)
So even more players on a galleon? Completely disagree.
I get that it would be fun for you to have more of your friends on the ship. But 20 players on a galleon would be fun too.
Yet, in a game that has pvp, the competitive/pvp aspect being balanced is one of the core/important things the game needs to do right, and at this point the game is doing fine as it stands now, if anything needs to be said about this galleon is already kind of OP.
Greetings, Hal.
