Pax 83 Posted February 11, 2019 so in PVP you shouldn't be able to offline raid someone? Why njot come play PVE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurgsideTiger 24 Posted February 11, 2019 OP, don't worry about @Pax, clearly he hasn't played PVP and does not identify with the issues of offline raiding. YES, PVP should always include the threat of Offline Raiding. Part of the fun is doing and surviving just that. The issue is that every aspect of raiding / offline raiding, to date provides too much advantage to the attacker. There is not enough protection for the defender, unless he or she is in the area during the attack. Even the mega companies have issues with 1 or 2 people simply swimming into their harbor, and sinking mass amounts of ships, without much, if any resistance. I know this because I am one of those people raiding. It's too easy, and costs too little resources for the attacker. I'm going to continue to tough it out . . . . but the devs desperately need to get this balanced. Releasing things like subs and crabs . . . . without addressing basic game balance is a sure fire way for true gamers to lose interest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you leave your ship on a random shore somewhere expect it to be dead when you log in next. That's how it is and that is how it will always be. If you don't want that to happen then put some effort into building defenses instead of whining on the forum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one here is complaining about leaving their ship on some "random" shore. What are you even referring to. This game was not supposed to be a game where you need to be on 24/7 and the Devs HAVE said that. Furthermore, they did say they intend to fix this by March. SO before you go attacking people because they clearly have feedback about the issues in this game maybe understand the purpose of this forum to begin with. Players are leaving this game, not just PVP, because it requires too much time to move the needle at all with the constant griefing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Notorious 67 Posted February 13, 2019 We offline raided someone on the weekend, it wasn't fun so we went back and put a storage box with all the stuff we took. Never again will we do that as we had zero enjoyment from it.They were still angry and demanded a ship battle. So we did. After we did the first raid we felt like we should have Vagina stamped across our forehead so everyone could see it. But later after we did have the battle we all shook hands and went on our way. Now we felt like warriors. Cowards destroy the game, Man up and fight face to face ! This is when the game becomes fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have all the tools to defend your boat currently against a simple attacker. If I can swim up to your boat, climb on or stand on something nearby, put an oil jar down and burn off a panel without being scratched. Then you're not taking advantage of the tools available to you.

No defensives can protect your ships. Learn the game mechanics before u go offline grief someone again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you admit you have no interest in, or are afraid of, actually fighting other players and have to resort to destroying people's stuff when they're not there to defend it. And you expect anyone who is not a griefer to find your behavior anything but griefing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
