Being a new player this sure is disheartening. I'm already trying to learn the game in a harsh?ish enviornment, and to have to deal with these kind of people. It's really annoying. There should be an option to disable playing with PC players because let's face it. The amount of people that have the know how to hack an xbox are very few and far in between. Before [Mod edited] come in here saying "IMPOSSIBRU", you need a reality check that there are indeed hackers in this game.
Last night I seen a skull cloud for the first time so I went sailing to it because I wanted to know what it was. I was cautious and welllll out of cannon range. So far that I was watching the cannonballs hit about halfway between me and the ONLY gallion at the island. No other boats around and all of a sudden I start getting attacked from behind with a sword. How did they get there? Easy... hacking.
Reading through these forums before I posted this message, I don't even know why I'm bothering. I already know what the outcome will be. Doing a google search of SoT hacks pulls up plenty of websites that offer hacks.
I want to get into this game, and I know that hackers/botters are in every game but this is pretty ridiculous!
