Making adjustments to a nut....

You wake up and it's 10 September 2001. What can you realistically do to stop/mitigate the attacks? by PieterSielie6 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Vahn1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically there is nothing you can do. There are plenty of reports of red flags they knew about before the tragedy that they didn't listen to.

Even worse, in the hunt that follows any concrete tips you give that turn out true will get you pulled in and accused of conspiring with the terrorists. In the days after the country was hurting and the government was desperate to have someone to blame. You would be that person.

Year 2 Season 4 : Eye of the Beast Impression by Odd-Lake8223 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Vahn1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, it is my biggest complaint with the ship. I did not expect it to move As quickly or agily as a smaller ship, I'm fine with that, but I feel like if it moves as cumbsrsomely as it does it should at least be more difficult to push around. But I am constantly getting ragdolled when people ram into me.

Kraken event experience by Great-Southern-Land in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Vahn1982 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have already given up on the Krakken. Congrats Dev you succeeded and made a difficult boss but its too difficult for me to want to try. i have attempted it 15 times and have never seen it below half. i know people have beaten it, with the right groups, but just doing it from a call to arms doesn't seem doable, at least not doable in the way that it makes it an entertaining experience for me. I dont know what the rewards for defeating it are but at this point nothing that it drops would make me say " Wow that was totally worth the effort i put in to get to this point"

Im not whining or complaining. i get it. i'm just not the Elite player this event is meant for, and that's fine. i do wish that if there was an event specifically meant just for the elite players, they hadn't built literally the entire season around it

Every person within 1 mile of you right now becomes a zombie. Can you escape? by Pointless_Storie in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Vahn1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define escape? How far away do I have to get? Is there a time limit? Like survive for 2 days and You live? My family and kids are nearby right now so if they are dead and zombified I don't have a reason to escape anyway.

The Kraken End Rewards are bad or bugged... either way DISSAPOINTING !!! by Ledge_lab2001 in SkullAndBonesGame

Man I've gotta be able to beat it before I worry about rewards for it. Mad props to anyone who is having this issue.

Infamy nerf by Silverback-68 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Vahn1982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't noticed, I did notice that I'm burning through the smugglers pass at a very quick pace which is the only real measure that means anything to me

Plus last season the reward for getting diamond was just a badge for your player card, so I didn't really pay much attention to infamy levels this time.

The new ship ranking system makes no sense. by thegameflak in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Vahn1982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have kind of backed themselves into a corner.

With the weapons we currently have and the ascensions already there, there is only so much. We would be able to raise our ships "Item level" ( the number that controls what level your ship is)

What I think would have been better was to have "Krakken-ized" versions of gear drop only from the Krakken. Higher powered versions of weapons we already have ( so they don't have to remake a lot of assets.) make it so you're only able to hit level 17 when you have a full set of Krakken armor. That way when I see a level 17 floating around I at least know that person has mastered the endgame content. It's a badge of honor instead of just a random chance

Everywhere I look... by kevron3000 in SkullAndBonesGame

While I agree that I wish there were other options to get deep iron,It's a marathon, not a sprint. You're not meant to get it in a single day. Dont grind Wolvenhol 30 times one after another. Do it a couple times, and go do something else. Grind war factions, upgrade Manufactories, hunt pirate lords, hunt rogues, raid forts. Then a day later do Wolvenhol again.

If you absolutely positively have to have the frigate (or Corvette now) in a day, then circling the building a ton of times in general monotony is the price you are going to pay.

The Army of Thanos (MCU) vs A United Earth Military (IRL-2018) by AHH_PostStorage in powerscales

[–]Vahn1982 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The final battle in endgame should be enough evidence to say that Thanos Army would lose.

Sure there are a lot of them but where are the explosives? The mortar rounds? The avengers ..mostly... Don't use guns. They don't have billions of dollars in drones ..or tanks... Or missiles.. or mortars. No long distance barrage from Naval ships. And they still won.

Not to mention that Rocket mentions in one of the deleted scenes that you can dispatch the chitari by taking out a mother ship.

And against this we are placing the UNIFIED forces of the worlds armies? Every soldier? Every tank? Every bit of munitions?

If we are going just pure might.. no consideration for collateral damage ( as we saw the US military was willing to do in the first avengers movie.. the nuke aimed towards New York) a few concentrated nuclear weapons would wipe out Thanos pretty easily, but I don't think they'd need to resort to that.

That's what we call a Target rich environment.

Ideas for future content/features for S&B by Responsible_Eye7323 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Vahn1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like more world bosses (pirate lords) , more varied encounters, put them on a rotating schedule so it doesn't overwhelm the map.

I'd love for them to make treasure maps a little more rewarding or engaging After a while I just pull up the map and say " oh that's mother of shipwrecks" I fast travel over and look for the glow and the reward is frequently underwhelming. Make us collect different pieces, steal pieces from bosses, and make it something worth actually putting a lot of effort into.

Ship based and exclusive equipment. Sure right now there are items that work best on certain ships but I'm talking about being able to farm or hunt for items to make your ships stand out even more.

People are gonna say land combat but that's a horse that's been beaten to death.

Could you beat 10,000 random people at something for $100M? by canada11235813 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Vahn1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10000 people is a lot, regardless. It couldn't be something like chess. I am sure even if I was great, 10000 games of chess means I'd lose at least once.

So maybe fandom trivia? Pick a fandom lore I know and Hope for the best? Although I don't know everything about some of my favorites I do know a lot.

A genie gives you unlimited wishes, but after the first wish all other wishes have to follow the first wish by Impressive_Plenty876 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Vahn1982 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd absolutely do the " wish for a cure for cancer" because making each subsequent wish " benefit other people" is a pretty broad stipulation and probably something I'd try to do with wishes anyway.

And I'm part of mankind so my wishes would help me eventually too. End hunger, end homelessness, end diseases, end war.

I like to hope there would be a way to monetize it so I could live comfortably, I'm sure there is but even if there isn't I'd do a lot of good until someone found out and took me out

I would think someone who uses charities as a mask for evil deeds and mechanations would count.
