Good drat this game owns.
Was playing with three friends sailing around collecting chests. We had 6 in our possession when we came upon a two man sloop and decided to get frisky. We easily sank them and stole their loot then continued onwards. High on our victory and full of bloodlust we saw another sloop and decided to ram it.
We killed the guys on it, grabbed their two chests and brought them back to our galleon. As we're raising the anchor and planning our route we notice we're sinking rapidly. No one had thought to check for damage to our hull and the ship went down with 9 chests on board.

But then somehow one guy managed to stay alive with multiple sharks in the water and kept the chests from sinking to the bottom. In the meantime me and one other (fourth guy DC'd) spawned at a nearby island with a fresh ship and decided "we're saving these drat chests!". We sailed two islands over by our lonesome navigating by the flock of seagulls above the wreckage and then the light of our friend's lantern. In the end we managed to get every single chest back on deck and loving hightailed it to the nearest outpost. :pirate:

While I enjoy the PvP, I wouldn't want an easy failfree way to find other ships. It's much more fun if it happens organically.

I found that it's generally easier to find other ships in the waters around outposts.

The modern gamer cannot be satisfied without numbers to increase and constantly being drip fed hype.

Personally I love the game. My only complaint is the shoddy job they've done porting it to PC.

Me and a buddy gave a chest to a galleon yesterday. More specifically a weeping chest that he snuck on board with and placed in the crow's nest :getin:

Did it actually sink?

They got real low before they discovered and foiled our plan. We ended up fighting over a skeleton fort they'd been working on and with them sandwiched between us and the fort it was easy pickings :yarr:

All I want to know is how Arena works! I bought the game for good in anticipation of a proper competitive mode

Last time I ended up on shacknews I'm pretty sure they were mining bitcoin with my 'puter or something cause it was hogging resources like crazy. Did Rare post a youtube-video or something?

Edit: yeah they did.
