    One of the first things i thought of when the burning blade was released was how it would do against the flying Ducthman. From what I remember, they look to be the same size. As well the Dutch man has ten cannons on each side if I remember from the tall tale, and of course, the burning blade has some direct inspiration from the Dutchman

      One thing they could do is type of a coin toss. You can either have the burning blade spawn in and take it over normal, and then once you reach like 12 or something crazy in ritual stacks, the Flagship of the pirate lord spawns and you have to sink it.
      Or have the Athena Flagship spawn in like the burning blade, but instead of sinking it, you have to go aboard it and help defend the pirate ghost from flamehearts skeletons then you can captain it.

    The elevator music was *chef kiss*.
    I was wondering if 3 or 4 kegs would be more effective spread apart vs. clustered together, like would it take longer for the skelly crew to patch more, smaller holes vs. fewer, larger holes. (Also would the initial explosion spread take out more of the skelly crew, reducing the number of skellies repairing.) It would make for some more interesting experiments.

  • @PlebNC
    @PlebNC 6 місяців тому +5

    It takes 4 kegs placed in the water around 1 side.
    If done right it will flip over, become sunk, ping cartoonishly into air before returning the right way up in the water and actually sinking.

      Another time we put 2 mega kegs into a galley in close succession, knowing we killed most of the crew just in the first blast, and they still recovered while we were actively fighting them.

    My friend and I have two manned the Burning Blade twice now. The first time was release day, and that sucked because we got swarmed very quickly . Second time was on Tuesday, which went much better. There was a galleon chasing us relentlessly, but we found that the people who were on it were absolute trash at the game. So my buddy hopped on, anchored their ship, and I hit them with the Ashen Roar and then sent them to the next server. We are actively trying to get more people on for a full ship, but our friends are never on. It’s whatever, the Burning Blade is a fun addition to the game, and I hope we see something similar on the good side in the future.

    I wonder if spacing the kegs, so that some of the holes are also placed on the mid deck could help. Putting the holes nore spaced out could result in a crew not getting a critical T2 closed from not noticing it or being overlooked in favour of closing a T1 on the lower in the confusion, after having thinned out the skeleton crew.

    dropped 2 normal kegs and 2 stronghold on it in quick succession with a friend and while manned by other players, it survived.
    i feel like kegs need to be placed correctly to do damage, a couple of days ago we wanted to blow up the blade with an athena keg, it blew up inside our brigantine, we managed to save it by the skin of our teeth.
    top be precise it did:
    3 100% holes
    1 60 % hole
    full damaged wheel mast and anchor.
    (it expoded in front of the wood barrel just in front of the stairs)

And if all goes well, we'll finally get proper, player man o' wars in the game.

    Spacing the kegs might be better than just putting all of them close to each other. I bet 5 or 6 kegs would do the job if you put 3 of them in the lower deck and 2/3 in the middle deck. You can kill more skeletons and you probably open more holes. Considering the explosion of normal kegs has a 9 steps radius you could chain them beautifully
