Hi All, Been a pirate for sometime (LongJohnRed), I frequently go on the privateering its ace fun. Looking at the replies above you can see that is quite popular too, end of the day its a game.
Yes people will cheat/glitch, which I am bit disappointed in Disney for still not apparently sorting out which they did announce sometime ago...
Anyway, yes you will get sunk regardless of sailing skill especially if its 4 ships v 1 all with full crews full cannons, yes you will loose bounty, except it!
Like me they've prob been around a while and know the weak parts of ships and earned their sailing mastery. That said yes I will sink others or I will be sunk, I don't want to be cause someone wants to complete a cannon quest. I will run to protect my score and cannon crew. As part of a team, someone with good hull should be taking a beating so you can repair anyway, especially if you've done the privateer quests and are sailing by yourself!! Help me to help others and hopefully others will do for you likewise.
What really annoys me, is the noobs that constantly ask can I steer your ship! In battle or when your repairing - mmm think I'll take a beat-up ship into battle...clever. Or those that don't help in the repair and constantly ask can we go to Isla Perdida or Kingshead?? "LET ME STEER THE SHIP!!
I WANT TO STEER NOW!!
on privateer chat? NO!! now walk the plank noob.....
