@twitch-xk90 My friend and I had that last night too. Not just in the water either. I think its the same old story. Combat in this game just is not right yet, it feels and plays like an alpha most of the time.
Every time we play, we get constant situations like this.
For example last night, both next to a ship in the water, on the ship, and on the island next to a ship, we fought people and had numerous occasions where we both got multiple hit marker snipes on a player, they didn't eat, then proceeded to shotgun us from range while soaking up our damage.
Sea combat seems to work a treat, but at this moment in time, on foot combat is FAR from ready to be in a released game like this.
I love this game, i still play it alot, but we also quit out alot when you get times where the lack of quality coded combat shows. We play other online games without problem, and we lose alot too. Losing aint the problem. Its when obvious program errors for want of the better word impede your fun.
Yet all this aside, i'll still probably be playing again later. Until the hit markers etc ruin the night again.
