      If you're not having fun in this game, find another game. Why play a game that isn't fun? What does that get you? I find hourglass matches so stressful compared to PvP anywhere else in the game because nobody is there to have fun. They just want to have a epeen measuring contest. Really? In this game where you eat bananas wrong and puke on people? HAVE FUN PLEASE

    about repairing wheel, you repair only 1 or 3 on a sloop but on brig and gally you do that only if both boats are stationary. if someone's doing a circle on you you often need at least 2 planks on wheel to keep angle (especially that on gally when back mast is down it blocks shots going to helm)

      It’s definitely noticeable that waves are bad on NW, but it’s much more important to orbital rather than parallel just because people want to go in one direction, the fight takes place in a circle after all.

    @poshtexaniscool Před měsícem

    I was really hoping you would put this in there but when you are holding helm keep the enemy boat in line with the lantern on the side of your ship or as close to it as you can. Doing this will make sure your MC always has shot angle. If you struggle with angle a lot this is a quick way to find it. On brig it is the little rope between the second and third post on the handrail and on galley it's the lantern again.

    That ending. 'Win or Learn' is SOOOOOO True in this game and I feel like that is the mindset you need to have in order to excel in this game.
    A lot of bad or new players dont understand this and they blame arbitrary stuff like, double gunning for example, for why they lose. Nah bro, you still will lose with that mindset. You need to have self reflection and improve on your own gameplay.
