You say you hate curse dumps, but as you can tell, that's the only way normal people can even make a match interesting against you two lol, you guys are gods
it really annoyed me how they kept wasting their bone callers, use them as you board to distract and interrupt the enemy, using it randomly does very little!
I’ve dealt with so many bone callers because they’re not technically a cursed cannonball but just a throwable and a little more common but it sucks in solo hg. Cursed is still annoying as ever tho.
Meh… All of the curses, aside from the anchor and ballast ball, are just minor inconveniences, but a well timed grogball, or wearyball, along with a bonecaller, accompanied by a board, would’ve turned this game around for em. Curse dumping alone, doesn’t do much, as exhibited here. Curses aren’t a big deal imo and the green one’s often don’t even work. The bonecallers gave y’all more trouble than the curses.
@@simplyluis6548 I understand why you replied to me now 😂😂 listen I used to think that cursed balls were just part of the game and you can use them and I still understand using them but I genuinely find it awful to play against people who use strong curse balls or curse dump, and more so spamming bone callers in solo battles etc.
@keelhaul3121 If that's the logic we're going with, you can avoid the curse balls by keeping the enemy off cannons. HG itself is RNG lmao. You can get pitted against some really inexperienced players or some players that are just insanely better than you. And if you're open crew, that adds another element of RNG.
@@simplyluis6548 why would hg be rng if it’s based on skill? Sure you can do that but people have a way to load a cannon regardless if you can put pressure or not. You’re still leaving out certain parts of the equation that would lead to curse balls being unfair.
Hello guys, i' m new to the game and watching sponge videos i noticed that in this high level lobbyes they dont use fire bombs, is it a non written rule? I mean when they use it against (in base game, i have never go for hourglass) me is always annoyng and effective so
Firebombs aren't really that useful on brig and sloop more of a small annoyance then anything else. Best to shoot cannonballs then waste time loading firebombs (on galleon fire spreads really fast so there it gets some use)
its painful watching the game stutter so hard on your own servers at 44ping, thats wild. has it really gotten that bad? (I havnt touched the game since season 9....cause I cant agree with the company anymore on how they run their game.)
I went against a guy who used anchor balls and ran/turned out everytime he got hit with 5 cannons, then claimed he wasn’t winning, then after the match lasted 40 minutes I said can we dice roll, we talked for a min and then I said I’ll go first and got 20/20 and then he said best out of 3, so I said no that’s not what I agreed to, and sank him after killing him and knocking him off and using a bone caller to defend his boat.
It's harder than you think, you're taking out two mechanics from the game for one singular game mode. Not to mention that even if you have hourglass loaded up, not everybody dives to a fight, they wait for an invasion, which again, makes it no point on curse balls/bone callers since you're playing adventure still. Besides, for every person who's happy about curse balls and bone callers being removed from HG, there will be two more who would be upset about it
Hourglass isn't considered competitive despite what SoT players think, devs consider it exactly what it says in dev updates and notes, 'on demand pvp', instead of sailing around looking for someone you can que and match into another crew in theory much faster. There is a reason it does not have its own servers like arena and that it doesn't have a ranking system, the most it has is hidden mmr the more you play; it's just not considered 'competitive', so it doesn't need a 'competitive' ruleset (competitive here meaning ranked like games in LoL, R6S, CS2 where there are actual rankings and sometimes end of season ranked rewards). If another crew wants to spend all day gathering curseballs to try to have an edge when they dive, that's allowed because HG still takes place in the sandbox world of SoT. Rare are incredibly stubborn so it seems like an exercise in futility to even bother complaining about it.
it is hard though, it would piss a lot of people off if they lose all their cursed balls and bonecallers from their ship because they joined hourglass once in the middle of their playsession, they want it to be easily accessible to everyone at any time so deleting supps is a bad move as nobody will want to join hourglass unless that is the specific thing they are doing that session
I agree that curse ballls are anoying, but they are part of the game, I get that you dont want to use them but it is not a crime, they are there to be used...
@@massivesponge I know.. the meaning of what I wanted to express may not sound the same in english than in my language... anyway love the content! keep it up!
I'm with you on that. If I sink someone that had curse balls, I'll use them to my advantage. Those curses aren't gonna get themselves, and a well timed curse ball can turn the tide. Given that's my rule, I can't really get upset if someone uses them on me.
You heard it here first folks, SPONGE is a new player, he hasn’t been around long enough to know anything about the game, this is even more supported by his gameplay!
It's not about hating curseballs and we can all agree they are tools that can and should be used. It's about fair play. When you have 2 comp crews against each other and one of them has a huge adventage of curseballs and starts using them then it's obvious that the other crew will hate them. When you are on the level of Sponge and Nessie it's not about winning, it's about the game. You can't have a nice rewarding fight when it's not fair. It's like taking a gun to a knife fight. In theory you can be beaten but don't expect enemy to like the odds.
Why is there a "coming up" teaser on a video that's less than 15 minutes long. I clicked it. I'm here watching it. You don't have to produce a trailer to entice me to stick around. Have some confidence in your content B.

@The_Peter1 I said most. sure he gets shitters from time to time but I'm telling you most of those crews are dumpstering you at lvl 60 guardians and thats besides the point. you completely ignored what I said. there isn't anything rare can do about the mmr because no one plays hg
