Somthing I've noticed, quite a few skelly curse players, when they're done with pvp at the end of the day are frequently and shockingly way more willing to parlay. I'm guessing its cause by that point they're nearing burnout, especially if its after reaching major milestones. We had a few hilarious encounters of skeleton sloop duos running into my group when we were sailing on a gally or brig and said duos while terrifying and probably more than capable of knocking us out of the water, but were just REALLY appreciative of us being chill instead of gun ho violent towards a smaller vessel on sight lol. Had a full on hang out session with one duo that just unlocked their skeleton curse that even helped us ferry our loot into the reaper's hide out tent.

You're pretty on the money. Hourglass people, in general, sort of avoid combat with adventure ships I find because really all the want are levels, and you're not going to get them from bothering random crews. Also, they tend to have supplies on board, which they don't want to have to get back, should something go wrong. I'm glad you've had favorable encounters with curse wearers on the high seas!

@@arathyn8294 Yeah it pleasantly shows how much good is in the community, which is easy to forget when you encounter multiple toxic crews who do nothing but smack talk win or lose. Also weird side note, I mostly specified skelly curse cause I have oddly never bumped into ghost curse players, or at minimum not anyone who openly wears the ghost curse.

Yep, i am skeleton curse user, even tho i havent played for a few motnhs, i am just little bit done with pvp. 150 ships was sunked by me (and + 50 on side of "good guys"), most of that in solo, many in duo, we sunked a lot of sweats who live in that game, even tho we just regular guys. Now i just want to grind things and chill, and commonly nice to people, minding my own business. And others rarely wanted to fight with me, due to curse and a 130 lvl cosmetic on it, i think. So, this is like retirement, i am now like that veteram grandpa, who had done things in past, but now chill and nice dude. Funny thing, a lot of guys with ghost curse like the meanest creatures ever ...

These are the good ones, but it leaves out the number of gold skellies/ghosts who took advantage of the exploit last year. There were a tonnnn of them popping up in open crews to preen for quite a bit, and most people I know dropped out of the gold grind since a lot of open crews just assumed every gold skellie/ghost was an exploiter for a bit, which took the prestige out of it for em.

@arathyn8294 2 ай бұрын

@jkx107 oof, I guess I was blissfully ignorant of this whole side of everything. I always knew there were exploits of some kind, but I generally assumed that the people who did them were few, and that a good amount of them would get bans or wrist slaps of some kind anyways. Either way, dropping out of the grind because it's no longer "prestigious" seems shallow to me, though. You should do something like this because you would be pleased with yourself for accomplishing it, not for the approval of other people. Even if you got it entirely legitimately, you are still going to play badly on some days and have people try to invalidate your achievement. You can't prioritize what other people are going to think. You gotta do it for yourself first. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.

Good stuff, it's always fun to pull off tricks like that.

This is interesting. Me and my friend are trying to grind out the skelly. Rn I’m level 61 he’s like 47 smthn like that. I feel like I’m improving because we’ll end up beating people who have ghost curse and good naval. But the immediate next round we get humbled by someone not even using a curse, but with exceptional naval and cannons. I’ve noticed my friend improving with his longer cannon shots but I feel like I am not improving. I do more boarding and helm/reapairs. I find it difficult to notice my own improvement. Funny enough whenever we see a skelly curse we get decimated but when it’s a ghost curse it’s a 60/40 chance of winning in our favor. That’s how it feels at least.

@arathyn8294 4 ай бұрын

Watch out for titles like Noble of the Waters or Lord of the Ashes. These will indicate if a plain pirate is actually hiding a lvl 1,000 curse somewhere...these might be the inconspicuous players "humbling" you guys . And yea, ghost curse people tend to be a little less tryhardy than skeletons. Mostly because it's so glowy that it's a combat disadvantage, so it appeals to more casual people.

Ah. I've definitely fought a few golds that made me think that. Or, maybe you're just really, really good, don't discredit yourself, too. Could also be that once people hit gold, a good portion actually tend to slow down on how much the play, cause once they've hit their huge goal, there's not much infentive to lock in like crazy anymore. Sometimes, people who are in the middle of their grind are way more in practice since they're working harder for levels at that point in time.
