Good stuff. Honestly though, only an amateur team ignores an incoming galleon to the point where you an destroy it like that so yeah, they need a lesson in pirate-olgy. We've only managed to sink 3 galleons so far but all the battles were in direct ship to ship combat. Best time to sink is around 20 minutes I think at the moment. The longest battle we've had has been well over an hour.
On the ganking stuff, to me thats just the game. Sure it can be abused a little but it is a game about playing a bunch of people whose actual past time in real life was literally ganking. lol
Yup. Glad Sony is staying away from cross play in that case. Keep the cheating scum on PC. I have no idea why anyone would really care about cross play to begin with. There's plenty of people to play with on each platform. If you want to play with friends, buy the platform...
And now i hear that Microsoft is going to supposedly ban people for "inappropriate language" or whatever. Good luck with that. If you thought one guy losing his PSN account for having a decade old username against the rules was bad wait until this takes effect. Witch hunts for days.
Um, wasn't the goofy reason someone at Sony gave about no crosss play, the fact that they (Sony) couldn't assure enough safety for their players? Anyway, I think Microsoft must be aiming for racial slurs and stuff like that. I don't think they really care if you blurt out the F word occasionally. Your really reaching, IMO.
Anyway, this is very off topic, as this is a first party game anyway. Why would you bring out up here?
what are you talking about bro, SONY is doing crossplay with PC AS WELL
This is incredible.
He says he's really disappointed, but it sure looks like he's enjoying himself. He's in his element, laughing and ranting at games. It's what he does best.
Well, I hope Rare gets on the ball and provides content fast. They need to hook players into continuing. They can't afford to attract a bunch of people, and then lose them because they get bored and wander off. The whole idea is to hook them and keep them hooked.
Enough. Wouldn't mind if it was one less since they have already started their opinion and just seem to be in here to troll some more
I say Sunset should be banned.... only from the Fortnite thread.... we would see an epic meltdown.
Cough ..as good as Destiny...Cough

Atleast it would have added a risk element to the currently pointless PvP. Would also add a risk to the Forts.
In its current state there is no risk or reward, just empty encounters. If the progression or reward system had meaningful things then a natural byproduct is a sense of risk vs reward.
Wonder how long it'll take for them to add a better progression system... Seeing the backlash I'm sure both Rare and MS is making it a high priority.
I hope they do something good with it but honestly I can’t see them changing how the progression works . I think they’ll just add more comestic gear and maybe another event or large creature or two.
It did. You die and you lose gold. Is it a great mechanic, no. Is it a massive risk, no.
It isn't a griefer mechanic either, unless the person doing the killing gets a cut of the death penalty. If anything, having no penalty is a far greater griefing promoter.
But they need to do something. As it is right now there is no risk vs reward and it makes everything unrewarding and unsatisfying.
It is just one of the big problems the game has, though. IMO the 3 big things are no meaningful progression, serious lack of content/activities/events, and real sense of exploration.
I disagree on the risk/reward. It’s very risky taking on a skull fort and then getting your not insubstantial loot back to an output. Equally if you’ve got 5 or 6 skills or chests to transport there is a good element of risk.
The pirate v pirate combat has little risk if you aren’t defending a treasure haul though. That’s fine with me to.
