This is actually pretty big. I never liked me and my friends getting raided by people who played for 2000 hours and memorized PvP mechanics, I might give this game another shot.

I always loved the fact that it was forced PvP. It was interesting how it forced you to make decisions to balance the risk of losing a fight to the reward of getting loot. However, some people got way too sweaty and others didn't engage with the pvp mechanics. I wish there were choices on what level you wanted to play the game at, like the old sea dogs mode.

That's the main thing

Casual pvp in that game was kinda fun

Sweatlord raiders made me quit the game

Pve area could be a fun option, especially if there are just too many tryhards out when you're trying to just blow off some steam from the day

I'm right there with ya, but "Sweatlord raiders made me" turn on esp hacks to catch them cheating, teabag them into the Deep, report them for hacking (upload recorded proof) and then sell their loot at the nearest port before returning to my initial goals for the session.

Hell, I've had tenacious little shitclowns try and hunt me & the crew for "vengeance" when they started the whole thing anyhow. There's some fun in listening to the squeakers flipping out on the mic, so frothy they can't form sentences, and simply sinking them again. And again. More than once, I've almost felt bad for them when they attack Meg in the middle of a chase, but nah. Fuckem. 🤣
