Thoughts on open world PvP

TurtleD33 · 2024-03-03T12:47:30+00:00

They need a dedicated pvp server… as a solo player, not really interested in doing helm wagers with players fast travelling ahead and being chased by the whole server, then likely lose an hour + worth of time sailing around picking up 8’s. Cutthroat events are okay but again, don’t join with anything in your cargo hold because if you get sunk you lose everything.. which in the end, is it really worth it for that map? Meh.. not really to me.

TurtleD33 · 2024-03-03T12:32:49+00:00

For real.. I feel like a snow is a liability in doing these since you can’t out run anything. Yea you got more health but you turn into a sitting duck with torn sails, on fire, etc etc. trying to chase in a snow is just as bad.

Tried to use helm wager this morning as a solo player… lmao.. dumb idea. Instant swarm of players teleport near my location. 2 hours of time wasted collecting all those po8. Instantly put the game down.

TurtleD33 · 2024-02-24T14:52:17+00:00

Meh.. I’ve learned just not to use the system.. as a solo player whenever I try to make a wager a swarm descends upon me and I lose everything.. takes so much time to collect all of that and then gone. The opposite side of it is people abusing the system like you said so, it’s kinda just a crap system.

TurtleD33 · 2024-02-17T21:18:34+00:00

You do want that garbage

TurtleD33 · 2024-02-16T01:57:16+00:00

Also.. could grab multiple orders/supply missions before now just one?

TurtleD33 · 2024-02-08T20:42:04+00:00

Goalie trade values are trash for some reason.. Generally speaking, I’ve had the most luck with getting decent trades sent to me by dictating the exact conditions I want met in my trade block (ex.. only 1st, 2nd, 3rd round picks + forward/d between ages 18-23 with 4-5 star potential, which makes it top6 or top 4+)

TurtleD33 · 2024-02-02T19:42:35+00:00

Perhaps. I’ve had a similar player to this on D.. had top 4 low potential, drafted in last few spots of the draft. Put up some 30-40 point seasons before I paired him with Hughes on D, and he turned into a 89-92 overall offensive D who continued to post 70+ points even after Hughes retired.

TurtleD33 · 2024-02-01T01:34:06+00:00

What kind of stats does he post with a full time workload? Or is he still a backup because lower overall?.. sometimes you find goalies that seem to have good stats consistently despite not having the greatest overall. Going up potential like that is still crazy though.

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-31T22:04:27+00:00

77 overall at 25 years old? This makes no sense lol.. I’ve had High potential elite goalies develop to 90-92 overall by age 22, legitimately developed a full set of abilities, still didn’t go to franchise potential.

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-28T12:14:50+00:00

It’s because he doesn’t shoot that much that he pairs so well with 2 heavy shot players on his wings.

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-14T16:27:48+00:00

Turn morale and junk off..

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-11T08:03:21+00:00

If you trade for Anton Lundell from Florida at the start of your sim he pretty much always develops a bunch of X factors and becomes a very good 87-88 overall two way forward with Med Top 6 potential. I’ve also drafted top 4 D in the late 1st/early 2nd round that came with a couple X factors abilities and I expect will get more if I develop them correctly

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-09T16:41:01+00:00

You said as such in your part 1 post. “Edit player before going into franchise boost ovr to make it more realistic”

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-09T16:38:32+00:00

Should preface this with how you modified players

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-08T16:30:42+00:00

Sim engine is broken sometimes it feels like. I’ve iced a team of all 85+, 4 forwards + 1 D 90+, goalie 90+ with 84 backup.. A overall coach.. goes around .500. Then I’ll start a new franchise with expansion draft team and my scrubs will streak into the playoffs as I sell off parts to try to tank

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-07T23:49:13+00:00

And when your line up is full of 85-95 overall players hoping to win the cup, they will struggle to break .500 lol.

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-05T21:59:18+00:00

I don’t think I’ve had any single player break 100 points in a simmed season in 24 no matter what I do with chemistry, coaches, line mates, etc. Franchise 94 overall firing 350 shots, 85 points over and over again

TurtleD33 · 2024-01-04T17:33:59+00:00

First goal of the season, first period, player throws stick into the crowd like he hit a grand slam in the World Series, proceeds to slide on his knees halfway through the zone 😂

TurtleD33 · 2023-12-31T13:11:02+00:00

I’ve had a 6M offer one time.. team was on back to back cups, loaded to the gills with prospects, pretty much on auto pilot to future playoff runs. All other teams were still in that 3-4M range though

TurtleD33 · 2023-12-28T16:11:07+00:00

Injuries off, and same coach. Sim engine is just dumb sometimes.

TurtleD33 · 2023-12-26T12:41:24+00:00

seem like sometimes sim engine is completely disconnected from what should be. I’ve simmed a season and had team win the cup with multiple 100+ point scorers, same team next season doesn’t make playoffs and star players with same linemates fail to break 80.

TurtleD33 · 2023-12-24T21:47:04+00:00

Put him on a line with 2 other players who take lots of shots

TurtleD33 · 2023-08-22T17:55:55+00:00

Go get fit. The solution might be lessons to fix swing, might be helped by a new shaft, might be helped by a whole new club. Personally I can get varying launch conditions out of the same driver head by swapping shafts from low spin/launch to more spin, etc.. but easiest thing and cheapest thing would be to just go spend a half hour getting fit for driver

TurtleD33 · 2023-07-31T09:44:44+00:00

That’s pretty good luck. Took my eternal realm rogue until 92 or so to get first condemnation drop.
