I thought i would really miss that glitch, but i hadn't used it in a long time having mastered sailing and when i used it once more before the updates (for old times sake one last time) i HATED it, i had to chase the ships all over and half the time my cannons missed completely. I much prefer it when the ships focus on you when you hit them once and then your broadsides are much more accurate. Plus, it teaches you a lot about having to avoid other ships, when to speed up and slow down, when to turn etc
. I'll admit my new low level pirate may find it difficult, but the game wasn't designed to have this glitch so we'll have to do it the right way and i'll be much more satisfied knowing i did it the right way too.
