BURNING BLADE IS NOT OP ENOUGHT SPECIALY WHEN SOLO OR DUO.

  • Hi every pirates, been long since I didn't come back to the forum.

    Some want to take the BB solo with ease and others, like me, prefer the BB to be OP. It's a world event and it should be the hardest one. But now we know how to sink it, the BB is not a threat at all unless it is crewed by 3 or 4, OR great PVPer. I seen BB been sunk in 2 MINUTES by brigs and sloops duo.

    Board it, drop the anker and run around with food is all the skill u need to turn down a BB. The first I played it was fun. Specially When i saw all the cannons been shoot by skellies. SOOOOO DELIGHTFULL XD. But the skelly are no threat to players at all when boarders are on the ship.

    I use to remember how good skellies were when SoT WHEN FIRST OUT. At fort events, they were a real deal. we had to hide behind corners, wait them to come to sword them because their aim with guns were deadly.
    This is not the case here at all. So it will be depending on what playerS want or what Rare want. I think the BB should be OP doesn't mater if u solo it or not.
    I would like the BB to be as much OP when sailed by 1 or 4 players. the NUMBER OF Skelly doesn't change much the balance as it is right now.

    To balance it:

    -Only SkeletonS skills need to be ajusted depending on how many players run the BB.

    -The anker should not be a thing in the BB. to stop a BB u should drop the mast and kepp the wheel in a different direction than your ship. So if u board and run downstairs, u should still worry about the deck presures on ur ship, force the boarder to fight the helm player and not run around only. or wait at reaper to get them. Anyway it have to be a hard fight, not an easy thing to do even when u skilled.

    Make it more hard but more rewarding when u sink it. so players will stack it more and will fight more agains it. And it should be impossible to sell it at reaper if even one ship around. (i believe that the case now).

    And if u want to solo a BB who is controled by a player, player(s). Forgot about it OR be trully legendary skilled. But it's a world event and it should be the hardest in my point of view.

    Here a link YOUTUBE who show the issue I got with the BB.

    In this video he sinked the BB solo really with ease when it should have been harder and got sunk when he solo it agains a crew of 4 AVERAGEs when he should have won it.

    Me I like to solo. and Solo the BB is not OP enough. I like to feel been the Captain of a huge skellies crew Of the feared BB. but solo it now is a joke, specially with that fishing rog glitch for board. If Im boarded im doom. I can't count on my skellies to kill one boarder so 2 OR 3 and its a GG for them because its game over.

    Since we cant turn down the BB if ships around in the reaper hideout. (feature I like actually), the BB should be a Fighter not a RUNNER ( from my point of view),a STACKER AND A FIGHTER in the same time. and since it cant sell at reaper if ship around then a fight will occure anyway.
    But the current BB with So big weakness like the anker and weak skellies. What else can u do really Exept run or try to fight knowing u probably gonna sink in no time.

    I would like the BB to be as much OP when sailed by 1 or 4 players. the NUMBER OF Skelly doesn't change much the balance as it is right now.

    Hope I convinced some of you. :)

  • Remove anchor drop and only way to board will require.

    • harpoons on ship
    • cannon on
    • ladders if you are lucky
    • harpoon gun once released.
  • The burning blade IS op, just not broken. The ship can tank an incredible amount of gunfire, not to mention you have a fry-them-on-demand in front of your ship. However, larger and more experienced crews will know to board and anchor you to decrease the burning blade's great advantages. Best way to look at it and use it is as a floating fortress, not dissimilar to a galleon.

    Ultimately less experienced and smaller crews will just have a harder time fending off other crews that are trying to get their sword commendation done. Thats just part of the game. The burning blade is a pvp event that goes both ways and sailing it should be as much of a challenge as trying to sink it. If it was further buffed beyond what it already is people would complain about "unsinkable sweats".

    I'll be real the simplest solution to your problems is simply finding a larger crew to play on the burning blade with as playing solo in this game is simply a decision signing in for hardmode, bb or otherwise. I DO actually agree with you solo bb should be buffed with skeletons a little, the difference between a solo bb and a galleon bb in skeletons is barely noticeable. The skeletons are more about keeping players busy than killing them though, that is your job.

  • I can't believe I'm reading this.

    I can only assume you never actually tried to sink a Burning Blade. If you have trouble defending it, I doubt you would fair well attacking it.

    If anything, it needs a slight nerf.
    (anchor speed, masts health, lower holes locations...), it is however mostly a well rounded event, and it certainly does not needs to be buffed.

  • i think its quite OP 4 steal fortune chests,takes me 15 seconds lol...other than that its another laggy and glitchy experience,made for bigger crews..EZ pass for me..i finish it when i finish it...if at least i could play in europe i would try more,but i always matched with ppl playing in mars...

  • @arias1101
    Hello mate, yes I did. And it's pretty easy if it's a solo or duo BB. My bigger point would be a BB 4 doesn't match a BB one or duo at all.
    It's a world event so it would be normal balance it to the point a BB solo is as dangerous than a 4 player one.

    But if you think duo a BB is still OP, I would like some tips from you. Or maybe better, maybe we could sail a BB just 2 of us and u show me your strategies, and tips for fight brig and galleon. :)

    Would you like to share with me your skills On the BB and sail with me? :)

  • @burnbacon that means 4 different ways, it's still a lot. And ladder and dock land is pretty easy do perform. Consider it's a BB. It would make it more challenging for the hunter. :)

  • @jamie-irl9648 a dit

    "The burning blade is a pvp event that goes both ways and sailing it should be as much of a challenge as trying to sink it."

    I am agree for AS MUCH OF A CHALLENGE but it's not the case right now at all. Fight a solo or duo BB on a sloop duo is EASY if they are similar skill players. But sail duo the BB is actually harder to defend than my sloop, MUCH Harder. So it's not as much challenging as it is right now. The challenge is when u sail it at 1 or 2. Not when u attack it unless they are 3-4 sailing it.

    "The skeletons are more about keeping players busy than killing them though, that is your job."

    Well, I'm not sure if skeletons are keeping them busy
    but more helping them out by chasing them honestly. If the guy run every where on your ship, your skeletons are between you and the guy and actually protect him from your bullets. And this is when one boarder do the job correctly, meaning eating good food, flee and kill skeletons when he can. But unless you are a gunslinger of SOT two taping every everyone with mid range shoot with ease, If there is two boarders, it's just a chase to slow time down before sink because time you kill the second boarder the first one already back on you. So when there is 3 of them it's game over if you solo. Simply watch the video of this skilled streamer I post he couldn't defend the BB solo even his skill was much greater than his attacker. His needed APM needed was just Too hight to handle.

  • @kermar-tutu

    4 ways that MANY players dont even do anyways. Need to change up how players play it becoming a 1 way direction.

  • @burnbacon well the one and only way players do now is to Anker it. Not really challenging.

  • I agree with the change of anchor, but it would need to be tested, because in the same way that it balances for less experienced players, an experienced team + this advantage could create a very difficult situation.
    (Maybe if it was just for solo players it could work.)

    One change I would make is to add a different skeleton, the first mate, a Skeleton Lord the size of the flame servant and flameheart. He couldn't be killed, but he wouldn't repair the ship... he would just serve as support against boards and MAYBE shoot.

    I don't know if it's a bug or something intentional, probably a bug, when I go away from the burning blade and come back all my skeletons disappear, when I'm solo in the right way, when in a team only when the other members move away from the ship...

  • @lleorb weird bugs, I never went far from it enough maybe.

    I also noticed something. Tell me if I'm wrong...
    When u solo, only 3 skeletons shoot at cannon, even ur skeletons team is full. And when I did 4 team crew only one skeletons were shooting canon when we had more on our BB. I think it's made in purpose. When u solo, u actually can duo it too so two canons are not used by skeletons, when u are 4 only one shoot. So when u attack a BB u can guess what kinda team it is. I believe brig team have only two skeletons shooting , I need to try it to confirm that.
    But meanwhile other skeletons are just sitting duck.
    Why simply all skeletons not shooting at canon when solo? This will make it at least more dangerous in a way before get boarded!!

    I'm agree with you, when u solo or duo the BB It should provide more useful tools to fight back. :)
