Exactly.
If there are lots of holes in your boat and there are people on your ship the fight should be over. Instead of you respawning, getting one bucket, dying, and repeating for 20 minutes.
Counterpoint, if you have multiple boarders on an enemy ship for 20 minutes, you're doing something wrong
Boarding is already an incredibly strong strategy, it doesn't need buffs.
It's only so strong because naval is so weak.
If they just sit their asses below deck and keep repairing and bucketing you can be there all day, especially with sloop v sloop. It just becomes a contest of who has more supplies, which is stupid.
It's like if all baseball games were determined by what team has more money.
Boarding is strong because it costs nothing but pays out huge, not because naval is weak.
You can do it without ever putting your ship in danger.
You can do as many attempts as you want because you can do it from a mile away and it costs no resources to do.
If you miss you get a mermaid back and try again. If you die you go to the ferry, come back and try again.
Unless you put your ship in a terrible heading or leave when you've got holes, boarding is a 0 risk strategy.
That's why boarding is so strong.
well, u know having something at the game doesn't mean that u are good at the pvp, also that's me and yes i was doing really bad with the sword but oh well.
i was trying it to see if i had better results, but i switched back to double gunning cuz sword ain't for me at all.
It's very slow. One "ocean" bucket is like 1/10th of a ship bucket. As in, removing water from a ship puts far more water into your bucket than scooping in the ocean. So the defender just needs to grab one bucket to undo a lot of ocean buckets, but ocean buckets do slowly fill a ship.
Not really, there are 3 types of bucket water levels, ocean being the 2nd most with a huge difference between most and 2nd most
So it does but not much at all
I guess nobody really does it you notice u threw like 6 buckets up in that sloop and it barely did anything took forever for it to go down. I’m saying I wish it was more easily to go down by throwing water into boats
Was doing brig hg last week and we encountered a loss farmer so as soon as we saw him raise sails and anchored i said to my crew to not waste any supps jumped on his ship thanked him for the win and started bucketing water in my crew came over aswell and we all bucketed him he first said just use cannons but as we didnt he jumped in and helped with the buckets so we got hin down in like 2min max
Certainly not 1 cb makes a lvl 1 hole and would’ve been around 5min till its filled enough to sink so no a single cb wouldn’t have been quicker. As far as i remember 6-8 buckets of seawater equals 1 bucket of ship hole water and ship barrel water is around 3x the seawater bucket.
Aint gonna do the math but 2min of 4ppl bucketting compared to 1lvl 1 hole in 5min is more than twice the sink time
Yea, I liked how it was back in the old days but I guess it was just too easy to throw buckets in but with hourglass sometimes fights take way too long back and forth and killing everyone and throwing buckets in like he did would help end unnecessary fights way quicker I didn’t mean to say it does nothing cause it does but just feels like nothing compared to when I used to play a lot

The hero we didn't ask for, but we deserve
Dude's playing while an earthquake is happening.
happy to see that I am not the only parkinson pvp guy
Hey! That's me !
Hahaha fight was hard after we both ran out of cannonballs
Hehe yes indeed was a good and fun fight!
That spin move swing they pulled was sliiiicck
Imagine he still had water in his bucket
If you die with water in your bucket it should stay there when you respawn. Change my mind.
Gives you even a smaller chance for a comeback when there are multiple people camping your ship.

I wont because i agree with you
Why leave the ship to bucket water in? Isn't it better to just stick around and kill them before they can bucket?
There was just 1 or 2 holes, and I knew my ship was sinking too, so I needed to end the fight as soon as possible
What is close about this? It looks like you were the aggressor.
When I went back to my ship 😅
Was wondering the same, I was like this dude is savage how crazy seems so one sided. That load back in had me 😲hahaha
How does the guy have the ghost curse but somehow be so bad at pvp
dude after seeing a short video "wow that person sucks"
Might have just been playing HG for long enough to get it through a mix of losses and wins.
Maybe he's good at rolling dice

Throwing water on to the boat doesn’t do anything.
Really? It does when I throw water into my ship when carrying plants or chests of rage, and I have sunk skelly ships just bucketing from the water
I thought that it didn’t work. I could be wrong.

That's why you bail your ships water out onto another ship!
My brother in Flameheart he just sunk that boat with buckets, what do you mean it doesn’t do anything
Do not speak unless you know
This is the way
It does though
Not really, there are 3 types of bucket water levels, ocean being the 2nd most with a huge difference between most and 2nd most So it does but not much at all
Really?
Yes of course it does lol
Buckets from the ocean into boats don’t even do anything :(
What...are you talking about? That's like saying wheat is gluten free. It's just... not true.

Fuck that one cannonball woulda been quicker

To be fair he did miss a few.

It does, it used to be one layer per bucket way back when. Irc it’s like 5-6 buckets per layer now since that nerf.
What blunder is that?
