Hey, great idea! And while we are at it, let’s remove mobs as well since they are SUCH a big risk…

Please tell me this isn’t a serious conversation… Player vs Player combat has already been limited thanks to anti cheat and the other million plugins that make it harder to fight people. Ships are hardly used anyway, let alone attacked. I get it, I’ve built ships and had them stolen, attacked, the whole nine. But the server was built off of the ability to sail ships and either raid or get raided. So far, no one does anything that used to make Piratecraft the server that it was. Fighting is now a thing of the past, no one as far as I have seen lately has successfully attacked someone, let alone have the drive to do it. Now we wish to eliminate yet another method of pirating? COME ON PEOPLE, play the game how it was intended to be played! Please, it has grown so dull and boring over the years of complaining. For Christ’s sake, if you don’t want to be attacked and lose your stuff, learn to fight back and protect it!

I’m so tired of the fact that you can’t understand that I don’t want to limit your chances of PVP.. I want to promote the use of ships by eliminating the use of tnt to blast boats to the bottom of the sea, I NEVER said you could not come aboard my ship and raid me, nor did I ask anyone to be polite about it.

It’s so frustrating to try and make better changes to the server, because the response is always gonna be ” stop ruining PVP, it’s a pirate server ffs. Live with it!” It’s not piratey to swim around an ocean with tnt on your belt, stop using this as an excuse to absolutely everything, it’s so ridiculous..

Why was fire spread on lighters rebuffed? I’ll tell you. It was to discourage players from jumping on others ships and burning them to the ground in secs, to level the playing field, to encourage the use of cannons, to encourage the use of ships.

Did it help? no. Cuz you dont fucking get the hint, you just find another way of bypassing it, you just bring tnt instead, good job! Apparently the only way to limit the insta kabooms is to police the oceans or program the game to not let you blow up ships that way, cuz if you have the means to do it, then you will do it. Why? – because its easier and you dont have you risk your own ship.. But the plugin is fucking designed to be SHIP to SHIP, not SHIP to MAN IN THE OCEAN WITH INVIS AND AQUA BOOTS.

I get it you think this is the only way to still get EZ kills and get angry kids in chat, but it’s not my fault PVP is bad on the server. Why don’t YOU guys start your own suggestion to how you want PVP to develop in the future if you’re so tired of how it is now? I can tell you i do see people get killed lots on the server, honestly. Only problem is when the OP players make god fights and die due to aac. Talk to staff about a fix, but don’t tell me I limit PVP by policing the oceans, cuz as you say yourself, NO ONE SAILS. Why is that, think for one sec please and tell me its not because every time someone leave port invis broskis show up to kaboom, 1 sec later byebye ship, go build a new one.

I’m actually trying to improve PVP if you cannot understand the message.

Do I or anyone say pirates should do this? I’m not saying dont board others and take their stuffs, i say dont blow the ship up in an unfair way.

It’s again this one “oh im a fucking priate so stop whining and let me fuck with people cuz i can so dont ruin my fun”

I’m growing ever so tired of this mentality that it’s a pirates thing to act like a douche, so thats your right.. Pirates did NOT swim around the oceans with tnt on their belt, blowing up other ships, they did so IN THEIR OWN SHIPS.. and very very very rarely ever blew up anyone just for the heck of it.

No one ever asked you to be polite, I’m trying to fix ships cuz i can tell you they do not work as intended and in my 2,5 years of being part of this community, they never have. sad to say. it has been improved, but it still doesn’t really work, because the tnt, once it was lighters, lighters got rebuffed, now u guys just use fucking tnt instead….. way to trick the system, good job. Thats why i think the policing is the only way, cuz no one gets the hint.

I would love if ships could work, but every time i want to talk about a fix, then “stop bitching, its a pirate server ffs”. Yes it is, yet you fuck it when blowing ships up the way u do, you use the tnt and abuse the ships mechanic, dont let it become what it can be – a ship to ship combat plugin… I get you just want the stuffs or see someone bitch about it in chat, but common..

@JoeDanger_

Yeah I know the invis is a possibility and also atm. the only way of being half sure not to be boarded within secs of leaving port, but it should not be a necessity to stock half an inventory of invis potions if you’re gonna sail from one place to another..

Regardless of how boarding resistant you make your ship, it doesn’t stop other players from enderpearling on top it and kabooming it anyway.. I have nothing against boarding, but to board and to just kaboom is wasted time for everyone involved in my opinion and should honestly be put into the Greif category..

@bazurka

It would not be just a little fix and then bam. Thats true, It will require that admins police the law of only using cannons to sink other ships. I wouldn’t expect alot of problems if there was a rule in place, because then players would know that this is not fair, which it is not. problem is just that at the moment, the sea is free for all, no rules nothing at all. I think we could do something about that. It’s about moving focus from land to sea, which is where i assume we want this server to go, since we in fact have the ship plugin and are focused around piracy.
I don’t see it being a big task for admins to also be responsible for this new rule, it is just a rule like any other.. one that could improve the experience for alot of players alot and bring back the ships to life, so I really think it is worth a try.

It’s one of the sole reasons why ships don’t really work and always never did.. Make the rule that disallows players from attacking others at sea, unless they themselves get en a boat and aim their cannons – Just like the plugin is intended.

Get a freking boat and fight like a real pirate, or stay at land.. This rule should really be a possibility
