So, as primarily a double gunner for hourglass, there’s a reason blunder/sniper quickswap is the meta. Once learned, it’s easily much better than any weapon combo in the game-to the point it’s really a detriment to not be using it. I’ll happily take the quickswap nerf if it means there’s more consistency and viability for other weapon combos. I’d love to sword/pistol outside of adventure and not feel like I’m nerfing myself. Sword combat being tuned to be less rng will add a bit more skill back to it, and I’m happy for that.

@@BNJ_SOTI think so too, just in it’s ability to one-shot ladder guard and harass the enemy cannon line, but it’ll put sword/x as a more viable option than it was as a skill weapon. Right now I don’t choose sword because the block doesn’t work, and there’s too much swing and pray vs another sword to the point it’s not a great offensive or defensive option compared to blunder/sniper. If the new mechanics work and I know the sword is going to function properly, I may be more inclined to use it and it will gain value defensively vs other sword players and offensively against double gunning as the window between two tap is longer.

they put their revenue over pvpers exps in game. Ever since they closed the Arena as an excuse to punish ppl for pvping or having a place to practice, to continuous nerfing pvp, and putting in the report function for anyone that spawn kills players but not really arresting or banning cheaters, to now taking away the double gunning mechanics and selling the game on PS5 are obvious tendencies that they just want to make a huge sell on the game instead of encouraging people to learn and refine their skills. This is modern gaming now thank god this isn't counter strike imagine how would the community react. A pirate game that only allows and encourages players to pve but not pvping, think about that.

Honestly, I think the removal of quick swapping is going to be negligible. Sweats still gonna sweat and still going to double gun especially with hit reg improvements. Blunderbuss still one shots, has great knockback and with good movements you'll still swap easily enough to get the kill shot with the sniper. The sniper's long range also helps get those easy kills from range that can quickly turn the tide of a fight. I think sword has it's place and is certainly going to be more viable for those that enjoy it but it won't be the PVP meta.

Animation glitches are almost never a good thing to keep. Abusing glitches like this takes practice and skill to become consistent with, but that's not an excuse to keep something that's unintended and unintuitive. So i'm glad they got rid of that, hopefully they will get rid of the other ones (if they haven't already) like chest drop sprinting, fast bucketing by animation canceling, etc. I'm a pretty damn good fps player, not a god, but quite good, I've used and practiced all of these glitches, but they have *zero* to do with any level of interest I have in a game and I'd much rather not have to worry about them. Had the game not had these bugs, we would not now be debating about asking rare to add weird movement glitching "features" in the game so that elite players would have something to exploit to keep their interest.

This is my opinion on the quick swap removal, this is going to effect people who play the game for the competition and how long they took to master quick swapping. If that's removed, it puts people who put effort and learning how it works on an even ground with people who don't, and I know this can be considered a bug but if they kept it in the game so long, why remove it now? That would be like removing the ability to literally fly with sword xD. Another note is people who make montages will be affected a lot, it would make it look slow and not exciting to watch. TDMing would be hugely affected due to how almost everyone who TDMs uses quick swap. Again this is my opinion and I think it should stay how it is

I think Drew did a great job explaining what changes are coming and why they are being implemented in the first place. Transparency is key when handling these kinds of controversial topics. Regarding the "fix" to quick swapping I, as a PvP focused player with ~1500 hours, can only say that I'm sort of left confused. I feel like the reasoning for this change doesn't make sense, seeing as the advantage from quick swapping is relatively small, but makes double gunning a much more enjoyable experience (e.g. skeeting). If Rare wants to level the playing field, they should think about building on quick swapping as a feature instead of removing it. In my opinion learning this tech is a rewarding experience and adds to the game's PvP mechanics, as a result making combat more fun and engaging.

Removing quick swapping is the best thing to ever happen to pvp. It was not a skill it was an abuse of a broken system. An exploit that gave people an unfair advantage over people who didnt know or didnt want to use exploits. It is not intuitive at all, you will never learn this without hearing about it from another person. If a casual player sees a sweat fire his gun way faster than it is possible for the casual than that is not a good "mechanic". If you want to give weapon swapping an actual skill ceiling than make swapping challenging and not some random button mash combo that involves sprinting for a milisecond. It is just an unfair advantage over other players that should not exist. Seeing another player out perform you, should always be understood, not be some black box that is a mystery for anyone looking at it. It is the only and right choice by rare. If sweats are gonna cry they lost their exploit then let them cry. Next time they can just buy cheats to clown on casuals instead.

what all you anti quickswap bandwagoners fail to understand is quickswap isnt even mainly about being able to shoot faster it barely gives an advantage in time to shoot after swapping it's mainly about movement and being able to shoot ur other gun after sprinting between your first shot making it smoother to use double gun giving you more freedom to hit certain shots and without it double gunning feels clunky and very off plus quickswap has been in the game since the very beginning and used to be WAY more overpowered than it was before removal. the devs however decided NOT to remove it and simply nerf it and make the swap times go from literally instant to something reasonable thats only a few hundreths of a second faster than not using quickswap. everyone always says it's an exploit and thats why it was removed but the simple fact is sword dash jumping is also and exploit and they didn't remove it. quickswap was nerfed and treated like a game mechanic for five years and the developers even used the mechanic and used to skeet people if you watch some of their old livestreams the only reason it was removed was to cater to new players and it ultimately lowered the skill ceiling making it not fun to double gun and just extremely awkward in general

And it blocks all such files that can be used to edit files. In wars, it wouldn't be bad if there was a program running in the background that scans the player's computer at regular intervals. And insta banana if you can find some coding program.

Every game should introduce anti cheats that punishes cheaters with a hardware ban. No cheating when your computer won't be allowed to access the game. Valorant has something similar. A bigger punishment instead of deleting obvious alt accounts won't stop this epidemic.

And I only play on PVE servers, I have no reason too cheat- but I get banned randomly after like 1000's of hours and when I went to their website it said "if we don't respond with an email, it means your appeal has been denied" Which is dumb because they could just never open the email and so it looks like they never actually false ban people when they actually do. If they admitted to a faulty anti-cheat then they lose money. I really hope they dont use something like EAC or BE

Quick swap should be gone. It's not a special tech; it's an unintended feature (yes, unintended features can become intended, but this one should not). It's a funny cartoon pirate game, not a competitive shooter. Removing it levels the playing field, and better skill will always win regardless. By that, I mean things like movement, positioning, etcetera. Yes, quick swap is a skill, but skills in player combat are more than just being able to shoot fast.

No one ever said it was a competitive shooter, but that doesn’t mean that the combat needs to constantly be hit over and over and made to feel unsatisfying and lose its fluidity.

And as you said, if a person is good enough to pull it they will probably beat you anyway, so that argument comes both ways.

Many people fail to understand that it’s not the timing that makes quick swap so appealing to “sweats”(look like cheating to newer players) it’s the movement. Unfortunately the patch actively punishes players for trying to shoot again after sprinting and increases the timer, making combat clunky and targets easier to hit. I think making the game less smooth is a bad move. I also feel that these techniques are not hard to learn and rare should encourage players to learn them.

There was a game with a similar case in Korea as well. The developer accepted the opinions of a few users who wanted to leave this attack method alone, and in the end, it failed to attract new users and it became their own league game, and the game failed. Whether this is right or not, this is the reality of the gaming business. And SOT is now on the verge of failure. Top users said, “We trained hard and achieved it. You guys do the same!], but don't think that many people will agree with that. 🤣 What Rare did wrong was that they didn't resolve this quickly. I don't think it's important whether I do that patch or not and it has no effect. I don't rely on double guns.

I've seen people shoot before they've even fully pulled out the second gun and your example of it was not an accurate demonstration of how quickly it can actually be done I fully agree that an increased skill ceiling for combat is an excellent thing however there needs to actually be a ceiling at some stage and this feels almost like a 1 shot kill which has been notoriously unhealthy for other games regardless of the skill involved

As to the idea that quick-swapping rewards practice, I disagree. Yes, the technique needs to become natural in order to be applied in stressful situations, but the reason I never quick-swapped was that I didn't know about it. Analyzing a past fight to see where you can improve will not naturally guide players to try to cancel their animations--at least, not when the method for canceling the animation is so counterintuitive. It's not something that can be learned; it has to be taught. It does not reward practice, but I will say that it rewards passion. Players who care enough about being competitive will eventually learn about it. Having said all that, I don't have a strong opinion about its removal. There are enough other aspects of combat that introduce profound skill-gaps that I don't think it will affect me too much. This is my opinion as a sword/eye-of-reach player that is not interested in competitive play. Don't get me wrong, I love PvP, but I'm of the weird breed that opts-in to hourglass battles and then does voyages. I don't take pride in besting other players; I take pride in defending a large haul.

If something like that turns out to meaningfully improve gameplay, it should be given that treatment, and accommodated accordingly, accounted into the balance, maybe even given a tip screen or something.

When double-gunning isn't, and hasn't been broken, for a very long time. (I would only consider it broken the way it was literally years ago when you could fire 2 shots in a matter of frames).

Quick swapping needed to be removed. The argument “you still would have lost!” Hurts your side more than ours. If that’s the case you must believe it wasn’t that impactful. The truth is it is very impactful. A double gunner able to kill you at range with two taps in under a second means you have no opportunity for counter play unless you also double gun AND quickswap. If you take a sword + gun, you have nothing in your arsenal with such an insanely fast time to kill at range. Removing quickswapping gives a sword user a fighting chance to get behind cover or close the gap. Double gunning with quick swapping was effectively just one gun that could one tap for very skilled players. And I don’t care how skilled you are, no player should be able to wield a ranger one shot that you cannot counter in any way. Good riddance to quick swap!

But if they originally made it so sprinting forward reduces the weapon swap animation time on purpose, then I retract my statement. In that case I would fully agree with you in that players who took the time to learn the intended feature should not be punished by having it stripped from them.

I hope to the love of god they do not use Easy anti cheat. Every game I play that has it if my LED controller for my computer dies and restarts it gets flagged as a cheat and then crashes my game.

Glad the sword has basically been reverted to the shrouded spoils version as that was way more reliable

"Muh skill ceiling" doesnt make sense when its dependent on your hardware to be able to do the exploit more than your skill.

i think the removal of double gunning is solid, because even though the majority of the time you're right about already losing by default due to a difference in skill, there are also times when I've been caught off balance by someone I could've handled had I not died instantly. I think it's a good fix, if admittedly a little redundant.

They aren't removing double gunning. Just sprint canceling. While m1 spammers get a buff. Yayy

@@dirrtyfurby if my understanding of the update is correct, they’re just patching swords to function the way they were always meant to, and similarly, are removing the animation cancel that gave a clear unfair advantage in combat. Is that not a good thing? Older players still retain all of their skills aside from a cheap exploit, and the newer players have a chance of not getting instantly killed. Win-Win

@@AquariumPebbles Definitely a lose-lose. Quick-swapping is incredibly satisfying and now people will no longer have the opportunity to learn it. I will go so far as to say it's one of the most satisfying things in sea of thieves(I'm sure most double gunning sweats will agree). Such a unique mechanic and skill expression not found in any other game, sad to see it go.

They are removing quick swap because, very probably in my opinion, Xbox and pc players will be forced to play together to reduce playfab costs. The same applies for safer seas. I expect an auto-aim assistant to come out for Xbox users.

I'm curious how Rare measures the 30% decrease in cheater reports. Does the decrease in player base taken into account? Are players discouraged from reporting cheaters cause nothing feels to have been done about it for months?
