Damned ships

[Vladimir The Impaler]

why do ships of the damned attack sloops , they're un armed ..

im a solo player and spent 10 hours making a sloop and sailing and now i lose it all by a lvl 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ damned ship that i cannot attack or outrun ... while in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hurricane !!! are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joking .. this is in pve as well .

been liking this game but this will kill the game for sure seeing how its about pirates and sailing and you don't even get the chance to do that.. instead i am ARKing on an island for ♥♥♥♥ sake.

apparently its still stupid crazy I just lost my sloop after crafting it over a day solo and sailed it for 5 minutes to have 6 ships of the damned spawn infront of me as i was trying to head to a freeport and proceed to blow my ship up into the oblivion. If thats a 60% reduction in spawn its still ubsurd.

Ouch!!!!! I did notice that there was a large number of spawned damned right outside of our bay on a private server........ It's a shame they are that OP.

It only takes 2 hours to make a sloop

same just happend to me, but with a schooner that i build solo. PvE Server aswell. I'm done for now.....

The Damned cruising round in motor yachts just don't look like they should be in a pirate game

[MK メラニー]

Same here..pve, grinding hours to finally building a sloop (smithy and loom too oc) with all my stuff on it, to let it destroyed from 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Damned ships after sailing for 5 min... Alt+F4

Worse yet is when you make a ship and it gets blown up by you guessed it the magic beings that only seem to show up when you actually build a ship.

Twice before ship even launched from dock.
Once when I parked outside a friends port, his ship not touched mine blown up by SoTD again.

How do you combat this when you actually have to sleep at night.
