zwt2135 38 Posted May 2, 2019 Why was this change introduced into the game? I thought it was dumb even with puckels but now all seated npc on land or boats are not able to be killed without destroying what they are seated on? How does this improve the game for anyone. We already have a peace time where you can not get attacked. This absolutely kills raiding and boarding ships. This types of dumb changes make me question why I play this game. If I wanted to only have ship vs ship combat from a distance there are plenty of other games that focus on just this and do it well. This change is absolutely not needed what so ever. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meriamon 4 Posted May 2, 2019 If that prevent somes exploits or cheats for easly kill all NPC on a base, that's a good patch and less toxic players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zwt2135 38 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) How does this prevent exploits or cheats? What it does prevent is anyone ever being able to board a ship during ship to ship combat. I think nothing should be invincible but my god if your going to make this change at least make it so it only applies on land or anchored ships. Let ships that are free on the sea be able to be boarded. Edited May 2, 2019 by zwt2135 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree 100% why is this a change... wtf is the point... to further make GUNs useless and force us to use combat pets and bows as the only means to pvp.... I literally was about to log into the game... but I think I am done now... this was bar far the dumbest thing I have seen on these forums and it its been nothing but dumb shit posted on here. I'd say good luck, but you guys need brains not luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badkebab 79 Posted May 3, 2019 I experimented with this last night, it appeared as though seated npcs are immune to everything, tried flaming arrows, swords, blackjack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gnihar 111 Posted May 3, 2019 Finally, I welcome this change. Sick and tired of small ass trolls pot shotting my sail npcs. Come, and fight me, chickens, if you want to kill my cannons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wintericem107 8 Posted May 3, 2019 I was just guessing that the reason. it the the only reason I could think of why they change it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zwt2135 38 Posted May 3, 2019 No dude its a terrible change. If the game is fundamentally broken aka aim botters the solution isn't to make things invincible its to fix the cheating/ban the cheaters. This completely destroys a gameplay style. If you like boarding ships then one grapeshot swivel will destroy this completely. This is a terrible change and its one more of the devs dumb ideas that kills the game for a lot of people who like to play the game a certain way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DocHolliday 366 Posted May 3, 2019 No it does not. Static NPC's are much easier to hit and less impacted by aimbots. I dislike this change quite a bit. Slowly but surely all PvP elements are being removed or weakened. Taking an island from someone is becoming more and more difficult by the day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
