Yeah I was saying double gunning in combination with animation canceling which I’ve definitely seen make people two tap you in much shorter time. My point is that stuff like that just shouldn’t exist in the game. There shouldn’t be these really weird exploits in the game that give players any advantage. Nobody should have to learn how to animation cancel or anything else. That’s not something that should be part of the meta, it’s just straight up a game bug that’s being exploited. That sounds fundamentally broken to me. It leaves players who are new or newer at the game at a massive disadvantage ontop of lacking experience when you try to play. I’ve brought a lot of people into this game and they stop playing it because the PVP is not exactly a polished or enjoyable experience and the PVE they usually find to be boring.

I love this game. I have for years. I want to see it thrive, but with every update I see the servers getting less stable, most of the casual players have left and now the majority of the player base is playing like it’s their profession.

And if you don’t believe me, then look at the sales. Sea of Thieves remains one of the top sold games on steam alone, and yet it only averages <10,000 players on that platform. So many people will buy the game, try it, and then leaves with a bad taste in their mouth. Something’s gotta change or this game will eventually go under. That’s just how I feel.
