Ship Battles and Cowardice
 

Okay, call me mean and old. I really don't care. I've observed what I think is just plain despicable behavior in the Ship vs. Ship portions of POTCO.

* Leaving SvS waters to make repairs
Seriously. Get in the fight and stay there; don't be such a child.

* Leaving SvS waters because someone is pursuing you
You probably deserve to be pursued, and you DEFINITELY deserve to be sunk if you do this (you despicable coward).

* Leaving SvS waters and returning to ambush people with high bounties
You are little better than garbage for this tactic.

* Leaving SvS waters altogether
You are a coward. There is nothing more to say. (Hopefully, the POTCO developers will have Kraken eat your ship and remove it from your inventory for this.)

* Continuously seeking "revenge" against someone who sank you
You need to grow up, really.

* Using spies
Get a life. For your own health - get a life.

That's all for now :)

you need to remember that we are pirates mate. all of those are really annoying yes, but as far as calling it low or despicable no. i leave those categories for glitches during SvS. now remember that some players are indeed children. remember that is just a game so there is no need to get worked up about something like that.

Point taken dude. Thanks :)

i hate it when they do that... it could be a lot worse...

I do find it annoying and i do think disney needs to raise the age from 10 to T i mean the movies are all PG-13. Anyway yes i hate it when that happens its really annoying.

I take it that no pirate ever ran from a fight so that he could live to fight again?

I dunno about you mate, but I can't very well repair my ship sitting in the middle of the fight. Also, when I have a high score and bounty, I like to keep it.

Far as I'm concerned, the only cowards are the ones that port or log off to avoid getting sunk or use glitches to cheat against other pirates.

You make a good point and i wish disney did something about it than just give us gold.... i would like more "physical" items that we can aquire. But its hard to tell when a battle was first engaged i believe that when the enemy fires and an enemy ship and that ship fires back then the battle has begun and should continue until one of the ship sinks. If you just won a battle and want to repair then you can sail as far as you want. What gets me mad is when im smack in the middle of a fight and they decide lets go.

Hmmm..seems like some awfully harsh words up there. Tell ye what mate--YOU SvS the way you like, and others SvS the way THEY like.

Mate--If I can keep from getting sunk, I'll keep from getting sunk. If I can run and drag a ship out of the fight for my Privateer brethren, so be it. If I can outrun ye I will. If I can outmaneuver ye, I will. If I can out gun ye, I will. If I can out-sneak ye, I will.

Sounds like ye expect knightly behavior out of scallywags....

What I won't do is glitch.

I agree with the guy who posted this. When people get competitive they lose all moral values.

Well said.I do hate ppl who do these things but its just a will to live.Now ppl who glitch or just log out to keep form getting sunk thats low,even for bloody pirates.

Although it may be frustrating in battle, this is SvS.

By participating in SvS you are asking to play against other peoples tactics wether they be cut and run, or going in guns a blazing. This is the point to SvS (or PvP) in the first place.

Keep in mind also that the quests involved for this require participants to inflict certain amounts of damage without sinking. Because of this, SvS is not just SvS.. these quest elements in themselves bring in a certain number of tactics to simply fill these quest tasks, and the spirit of competition is not in it.. the spirit of filling the quest is.

As well, some (not saying any names here*) just use the islands as totems to easier access Kingshead, Cutthroat, Cangrejos, and Padres and Tormenta if they lack the Padres totem.

Yes they do!

I parked in the "shipping lane" with me Krewe and took down the littloe light sloops trying to jet to KH. Poor little guys!


Hehehehehe.

LOL! That's too funny! Very piratey of ye, mate.

i agree and the svs should have borders or imaginary walls, like an arena. that way no one can run off to another island to retreat, and it keeps everyone in the same area. i've gotten on servers where there were ships in svs but they were nowhere near the french and spanish islands, not even a visual on them.
