Utterly Displeased with Sea Combat System

[Schmoofy]

I myself have a Light Frigate and a Sailing Level of 8, currently. My cannon level is 4, which I assume is pretty bad considering my level 17 notoriety.

I am also displeased with sailing all together in phase 2. I find it impossible to sink anything over a level 15 by myself, and even level 10s are more and more difficult on a daily basis. I'm currently on a task where I need to sink a skeleton ship to get cursed wood for Fabiola. I can't even take the skeleton ship's life bar down 1/4th of the way, which is becoming a real pain. I've been training for two days now on "smaller" ships, hoping to get my sailing level high enough to upgrade my side cannons, being all I've upgraded with sailing is Full Sail.

Maybe I'm just not trained enough, but high level ships are the spawn of all evil during the time I have to play POTCO.

Well, when I sail with me friend, his level of sailing is over 18 and we have no problem sinking level 30+ ships. It all depends on the ship, and your sailing, brodside cannons, starboard cannons, and regular cannon levels.

i really belive it has to do with how they are tweaking the levels. its not just sailing either. my noteriety is 20 and and my indivudual skills are all pretty much from lvl 8 to 12. i mostly have no problem sinking ghost ships, eitc or navy @ level 17 or below even when alone. same is true of beating navy officers, gators, fly traps, giant crabs etc... anything below level 7 is pretty much one shot and done and anything level 20 and above i really need to get lucky or be with a group.

remeber folks its still beta and they are still tweaking things to get them right. keep sending in feedback and bug reports, dont just post it here.
