someguy.4107 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I want to be a pirate already. Add guns, harpoons, cannons, etc. to our skiffs so all the seated players can man different weapons. Even having one weapon on each side with the extra seats having to play a "reloading" minigame to reload arms faster. 2024 is the year of the skiff \o/ (Please add a water WvW map, so we can blow each other up. Thank you.) 4 2 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neighto.7386 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Its already bad enough with the lazy people doing the bare minimal on skyscales and turtles. If they were to implements something like this is would be the last straw for me and I would quit the game after 12 years. If you want to be a pirate, there are several games out there (mmo and single players) that allow you to do just that... We don't need that sorta junk here. Big ol' downvote for me on this terrible idea to be quite honest... I don't know which is the worst suggestion here... combat skiff or a water WvW map 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Storm.3046 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 They've already gone down the 'combat vehicle' road with the mounts... the problem is not the idea (in moderation), it's how it is implemented to balance with the rest of the game. I believe that OPs suggestion is over the top, but tweaking some aspect would be welcome and added diversity to the skiff, beyond fishing. You sit in the skiff, while being bombarded by catapult fire... I'm not asking for a guided missile system, but maybe being able to return fire with my ranged weapon would be reasonable? 38 minutes ago, neighto.7386 said: If you want to be a pirate, there are several games out there (mmo and single players) that allow you to do just that...

Pirates are in the game already... and you can outfit yourself as such already as well.. so I think the 'junk' is already here... 🙂 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care how it looks. Would be a lot of fun to troll around in PvE with some guildies shooting and blowing things up. Turtle is great for if you only have one friend to play with. Boat would be great for more than one friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I am so on board with this. I’ve long looked forward to ship and ship weapons. Savvy? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddxian.3851 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 From what I understand (not being a fisherman myself) it'd be useful for somebody to stand guard while the rest of the party fishes, so your gunner could either fire grapeshot or drop depth charges on aquatic ne'er-do-wells who want to interrupt you...

Qys.5937 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I know they could give the skiffs harpoons and expand fishing to "whaling" but with like sea monsters and stuff! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Lumpix.6108 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Game needs more uses and more places for skiff's. Feels like a wasted mechanic to add all these skins and mechanics and then not really use it for anything other than fishing and leviathan. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Philips.3824 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Problem with skiff is they added it AFTER we already had the skimmer mount for years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teknomancer.4895 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The Dreadnought even has one already, mounted at the prow. You'd have to be facing the target directly to fire, but the skin already has the gun in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuks.8241 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Only interested if I can go pirate against other players. Not really interested to go pirate only against some Marsh Drakes. Let me board other players and steal their coffers of fish meat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
