Storm, fog, forts, other pirates, kegs, loot. Sometimes, i'm more in the mood for evading and i do my best to go where i want and do what i want despite this angry crew on my tail. I love PvP, but i don't always fight head-on. Maybe you don't need to change yourself really. If you accept that you'll never be the best, but you can be BETTER, then I think you'll see PvP more as an exciting opportunity to test your skill, and less as an irritation. I know all that's easier said than done, because we all get frustrated and feel defeated once in a while. The better you are at PvP, the more frequently (and quickly) you'll win your fights, and you'll be back to your voyaging in no time. Win or lose, you'll learn what tactics work for you, what tactics worked against you, and you'll improve. Spend time (preferably with a friend or three) just sailing around fighting people. Just like my experience with the Mako in mass effect, the best way to get through an aspect of gameplay that you don't enjoy quickly is to become good at it.
Of course, ideally you'd win, but that brings me to my last point. In that context, "I dug up treasure chests for three hours and turned them in without anything unexpected happening" is actually a worse outcome than "I dug up treasure chests for a couple hours, was attacked by a reaper, fought valiantly, but eventually sank". The other mindset shift is to think about each server as a story, rather than a grind. The same holds true for your SoT experience. I love Mass Effect 1, but hate the Mako sections, so it's always something that I just have to begrudgingly accept.
It's alright to not enjoy all aspects of a game equally, in fact that's pretty natural. I think it's a mindset shift for a couple different things.Īs you mentioned, PvP is a core part of the experience. What suggestions do you have to get over this?
There's clearly nothing Rare will do about that, so I have to change myself instead. TL DR: I don't like fighting people because it goes against what I enjoy about this game. Thus comes my question: how can I get myself to enjoy PvP, or at least not mind when I am put in a situation where it is necessary? Must I simply get better at it and hope for the best, or do I need to fundamentally change how I play and treat this game? I'm open to anything I'm tired of being teased for this. If I'm going to get over this, I'll have to change myself. It's clear that for softies like me, there's no hope the enemy will always be out there somewhere, and to allow one to remove that risk will do more harm than good to all of us. Don't get me wrong, PVP is absolutely fundamental to this game and there's no way around that - it's a pirate game, for God's sake - but I have also read the many manifestos against a PvE mode being introduced to the game, and have come to terms with the damage it would do to the soul of this game. And so, whenever this demonstrably faulty perspective is compromised by another rogue crew, I get pretty aggravated about it it feels like the game (at least, what I wish the game to be) is being ruined for me. I've always found the most enjoyable aspect of this game to be the freedom and atmosphere it provides gorgeous open waters, tropical islands full of things to explore, mythical creatures and epic tales, and a trusty steed with sails to take you wherever your heart may desire.
