New pvp system vs ahab in arena and bf idea

Hi
My name is Attikusz , and i thought ill write here something i was thinking about the game and pvp .
So my point is , i saw the new pvp system and i think its much better and more fun than the old one was , but theres a problem with , that annoys me and maybe not just me.
How i said the new pvp system is great , but how i saw every player use ahab ship everywhere , and thats the problem i was talking about.
Let me explain my idea , so the ahab ship was meant to hunt monsters and farm with , its fast a lot of harpoon launchers , NO pvp NO skulls and a lot of extra also its a PVE ship. Personally its not my fav , but i use it too , to hunt monster, but what i experienced , every player use for battlefield and arena also , and thats the biggest problem why i think the pvp isnt working out.
My idea is to restrict the ahab ship from arena and battlefield because that was meant for something else , and maybe this way the pvp will come back again , and theres more fun then.
I know a lot of players will think thats not okay and wont like it , because if they buyed the ship they can use wherever they want. Thats also right from one side , use everywhere on the sea , but let the arena and battlefield for ships which was created for that , not with a ship that wasnt meant for pvp fight.
Otherwise i think its boring , ahabs everywhere , we got a lot of nice ships and improvements and builds for this game , then we should not maximize out just only one ship because anyways everybody use that.
I hope you will think about what i just wrote here and maybe like the idea , and maybe we can change something in a better way
Best regards ,

You're confused, my friend. The Ahab has always been a ship designed for PvP as well; its 30% damage reduction makes it a favorite ship for many in arenas and fights. This doesn't make sense.

 

The Ahab has always been designed this way, and it was also used in older PvP systems, and it still worked. People who use the Ahab do so for many reasons, and it's certainly a good ship for fighting in arenas because it offers a complex playstyle that many players enjoy. If they remove the Ahab from arenas and fields, they'll be removing the playstyle of many players.

 

The fact that the Ahab has always been a ship in all game modes, and that both in the past and present on some servers people have been able to obtain practically all the PvP season rewards, shows that the problem is not with the ship ahab itself.

 

You made a solid point.
The game is boring with Ahabs everywhere. And it also makes it very difficult to achieve items and ranks in the current PvP System. However mrsavage is also right: the Ahab is a very powerful PvP ship, even though some players think it's mainly meant for PvE and hunting Monsters, which is not the case.

The developers back then created a very strong ship, perhaps originally to hunt monsters more easily and to be left alone by PvP hunters. But this ship significantly disrupts the balance in the PvP System, since there are no PvP points and skulls.

So in my opinion one solution could be, not to exclude them from arena and battlefields, but to include Ahabs in the PvP System, so that they grant points and skulls. The ship is strong enought due to the damage reduction and the feature that NPC ships no longer attack you anymore. It would still be a great and useful ship for many players.

I know this might be a controversial proposal, but don't forget that piratestorm is a pirate game and the most game interactions are based on PvP.

Best regards

 

Clearly, that's a much more solid idea than the one the first guy suggested. Keeping the ahab but making it award PvP points when killed or when been killed, like any other ship, isn't a bad option. However, from my point of view, it shouldn't give or receive skulls; it's not designed for that.

 

Better option would be if devs would put bots into the game. Bots that have real ships like piranha, gladiator, etc. If the bots entered arenas, players could get 2v2 and 3v3 items. If the bots entered battlegrounds, no more waiting list. The number of bots would of course be based on player count, if there are many players = less bots. It would fix many issues and help with the flow of the game. Many videogames like World of Tanks, Fortnite, PUBG do that to combat low playercount.

 

I don't like this idea. It doesn't make sense. What's the difference between shooting with a 12k Ahab and a 15k World Destroyer? Personally, I don't see any. And if someone wants to earn PvP points, they'll try hard and earn them, and it doesn't depend on Ahab.

*EDIT*

 

Alright , let me clear something here cuz you dont understand or dont wanna understand my point about pvp and ahab.
How i and you guys said ahab isnt giving/getting skulls and pvp points and was meant for hunting monsters , 30% damage reduction exactly because of that reason to not 'disturb'.
So at this point i can clearly say ahab is a PVE oriented ship , but ofc you can use as pvp ship because its really strong , but IF ISNT giving PVP and SKULLS that means AHAB ISNT FOR PVP CREATED , thats why i said we should use it for what was created , hunting monsters.
But something pve oriented and used for pvp fights are 2 different things , thats the main point of my saying.
Yea the other solution that making ahab to give pvp and skulls is also great idea if anyways some people think and use its for pvp ,BUT then the 30% damage reduction should be reduced.
