After another long night of privateering, I'm beginning to be too annoyed to try anymore.
LOWLIGHTS:
I had to switch servers 6 times to find a good match where people didn't seem to be glitching (and if so, not on purpose). Ships were sinking for both sides, people were taking damage, their damage meters showed up on the top of my screen. Do you know how ANNOYING IT IS to not know how much health your enemy ship has!?!? Freakin' hate it...the only way I know they're almost dead is when they turn and run away.
Finally had people hide in the rocks from me...wow, is that annoying or what? Had people repairing on the fly too....I can't believe some people are so lame as to resort to such amateur measures.
Got sunk by a light galleon I hit with more than a dozen direct hit broadsides and a crew of 2 consistantly hitting him with fury/lightning....don't get me started on that one.
Ship invincibility is the absolute worst. There was a War Frig (why is it always the War Frigs???) last night that would just glitch to invicible over and over...at least I think he was....or maybe I suck...but I think it's the fore. I was parked across the sea within cannon range of this fella. I hit him (NOT S___IN' YOU) 15 times in a row with lightning, all hitting his boat for 869 to 1084. His ship health never showed up. Took him forever to hit me, but when he did he hit my War Sloop like 3 times and I was already half health...***? So I sailed around behind him and blasted him with broadsides, pulled the basic chase-the-tail, hit him with 4 or 5 more broadsides (5 points in broadsides BTW)....still no health bar. Finally rammed him with ramming speed and HE WASN'T EVEN HURT aside from the ramming damage which was minimal...then he glitched again and I continued to chase...hitting him with broadside after broadside with no avail....never damaged him....ramming speed again worked, but he was at full health again somehow. This went along for awhile because he wasn't a good enough captain to be able to hit me, but his teammates swarmed in for the kill. I sunk and switched servers.
At this point, I wish I would've sunk all my points into Ramming Speed. The glitchers are a horrid bunch of jerks. I hope Disney can get on this. Take the game down for an entire weekend for all I care. This has uber-potential...D just needs to make it happen!
HIGHLIGHTS:
Took the losing side (French), which including me had 3 ships to 7, when I was at dock...my allies were nowhere to be seen, off sailing somewhere hiding/repairing. But in front of me was a mighty gaggle of 3 War Frigs, a War Sloop and a normal Frig....whoa! I was lucky enough to get 2 cannoneers on board. Surveyed the situation...once one of the War ships broke away from the other, we went after it. Started pummeling it...other ships rushed to it's aid, it was sunk before they got there. Then we sank the other two War Frigs...then the War Sloop. Then the same Frigs again after respawn.
It's awesome sailing with people manning the cannons. That Privateering crew matching works pretty well sometimes!!
