The guild I belong to is Black Shark Inc, we are strictly an SVS guild. There are combinations of many things that disrupt the privateering part of the game. Yes lag is a big problem. Think of an express, way if everyone in the world were driving on the same E-way think of how fast traffic would go. Also if you go too close to the rocks you lose your compass, it stops working (not sure what that is from). Also someone had said they ran two pc's at the same time and they were the same. That's because your on the same feed of internet. its going to be about the same. You can also lag from someone else having bad internet too. Also it doesn't matter how great of a computer you have and can have internet from NASA (lol) if Pirates has tons of people playing on the like the first two servers your gonna lag. We have where someone can sail great with one Capt and cant with another Capt. On other accounts it may appear someone is using a glitch and they aren't, its only lag and game issues. I think SVS should be held on their own servers but what do I know... lol. If someone is using a specific glitch it may cause lag as well. If you suspect someone is glitching I recommend you go to another server to have fun. I can only imagine the reason some people are cheating is because they lack the natural skills and or talent. SVS can be fun even if you don't have either. Its all about being with friends and having fun.
SVS is fun Jeava, you just have to be optimistic. Your more than welcome on a Black Shark ship to give it a better whirl. I promise you'll have fun.
If privateering is not in your blood then your not going to enjoy it. Despite the digs we may get or people's accusations of us cheating we still SVS. The funny thing about being called a cheater though, Ive often wondered why is it we sink just as much as everyone else. Now there is some food for thought. Ive been doing this for ten months and I would never leave it. For every bad thing SVS may have, there is five more reasons why I love and would never leave it. Just might be because I have awsome friends that just so happen to be my entire guild that make it so fun.
SVS/Privateering is like the Opera either you love it or you dont.
