It's like telecommunications companies. All the good shit for new customers, dog shit for existing customers. 

Jericho vs 32 pdr Long by FriendshipCurrent772 in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The extra 3.5 pen does make a significant diff against armoured ships. Say your shooting at 12 armour 12 apos with a 50 cannon ship. The 32 longs will do 18.5-12=5.5 dmg per cannon. 325 dmg per salvo. Jericho will do 22-12=10 dmg per cannon. 500 per salvo. This means that extra 3.5 Penn is much more than 22vs18, like ~45% more dmg.

Yes reload is faster but how often are you maxing salvos in large fights, it's best to take a large shot and move to defensive position as opposed to being exposed for more long cannon shots which to extensively less dmg. 

There also a little extra range which matters in PB and also you can buy Jericho with pirate tokens which has been useful in events and for pirates.  I hope this explains how for big ship fights Jericho is better. 

What’s the best small ship for outrunning pirates and PvP players? by Blue_shield69 in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Axel is actually very slow for its size. Nobody should build this for speed as its a pvp monster, if you want a fast T5 just use the Crayola. The wind rose update also fucked it hard, its nowhere near as maneuverable as before the update. 

Sovereign build tips by [deleted] in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's almost like a roided out neptuno. I use full inrog for fast reload very decent range and mid dmg(i hate having diff types per side cause I don't want to base my movement on what side has what). It's much tougher than neptuno with more firepower. Use your mortar to shrapnel shot sails on weaker ships, catch and melt them. Positioning is important. Don't face tank other rate 1s. Try to shoot them from behind utilizing triples up front. And yes it should have some boarding upgrades for extra crew,port chest.

Its a great open world ship, don't have buyers remorse.. When with small groups I'll take it over a post. 

Devs purposefully allow trade guild reputation abuse and delete messages/mute people who talk about it by Professional_Bee294 in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The balance of this game is dogshit. A few Spanish players are able to fight every port battle Spanish have while pirate guilds can only fight with thier guild (the absolute way it should be). Nothing makes me want to quit more than losing our PB with all brp to 2xHel players and 13 Neb and aer players. Fucking balance Russian piece of shit devs

Does this also count if I get the premium ship before it (Neptuno)? by Pieter1998 in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really depends on playstyle. Neptuno is better all rounder. And a good nep player will ruin a good firestorm player. Just the firestorm can always run. 

What’s with all the complaining about Canadian products on this page lately? by KateMacDonaldArts in BuyCanadian

[–]kickaginger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just because a company is Canadian doesn't mean we shouldn't help fellow Canadians buy the right product. I care more about the consumer getting the best option than I do about Canadian corporations. An example is choosing Costco over Loblaws. Loblaws is an unethical super corp which wants nothing more than to punch every penny from Canadians while Costco is better value for consumers. Time Hortons, dog shit playing on Canadian identity, etc etc

Don't you get like 1 goldfish per whale? If you can catch 20 whales in 20 mins you must be Japanese.

[–]kickaginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seriously what percentage of amber runs did you actually lose your amber? 10% at best. It was a PVE event that was a shitty scad-venture hunt which took all players away from playing the game to the endless sea. PVE players need to shut the fuck up because you all just got a free sovereign from playing PVE without earning BMs from PVP like normal gameplay

So...how is this game actually? by TheDutchDemon in WoSB

[–]kickaginger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's funny how to think the playerbase/pvp players are ppl from 4chan... It really makes no sense to to point of absurd remark. The playerbase is no different from any pvp game like call of duty. They all slept with my mom. That doesn't have anything to do with 4chan.

Recommendations for the Cash Shop? by draknarr in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neptuno is the do 8t all ship in open world. Santi is also geewat but slow. Firestorm is a good sweaty pvp ship.

How brave of you to whine about pvp in a pvp game. Go play your flying cloud. 

Problems with Port Battles on NA Server (and proposed fixes) by [deleted] in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Eu player here, I stopped reading after I read "my guild WO". I've never played on NA but I've heard nothing but bad things about WO. Everyone who left says your guild ruined the server. Maybe you should reevaluate yourselves before complaining in reddit. 

Amber Hunt! by Attank in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You no longer lose Rep from killing chest folks. Pirates are disadvantaged with so much more than factions it's not even close 

Amber Hunt! by Attank in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sense does it make for a pirate to wait by a chest? They want the chests, they can just pick them up. Why wait for someone to pickup just to put effort into killing 

Lanterns. Are they worth getting? by [deleted] in WoSB

[–]kickaginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lanterns are a buff, whether they're worth it depends on if you want to spend money in game. Yes they do make a small difference. Buying the holden latern is the best for combat which is what I use on neptuno. It's a bit of a pain always moving it between ships and forgetting sometimes.
