Last world, I was killed from a boat.
They KO'd me and smashed the boat so I drowned, regardless of KO protection.
I sent complaints to Jorb, but he did nothing.
This world, I got again KO'd from a boat, I sent a message to Jorb, but he did nothing.
I told Jorb how OP and stupid boat fighting is, but he seems to think that it is not an issue.
About a week ago, I sent him a message about my plan, warning him to fix it.
Well, he did say that he will consider it, but did nothing.
So today, I finally proceeded with my plan.
I made 9 alts, bought rage to each of them, 15 melee, sideswipe and a bronze sword.
Coded a simple script that I could easily control all of them from just 1 client.

In the video you can see how op boats currently are.
Now what prevents big factions from doing the same?
Arming 10 knarrs with 200 uac alts, giving them enormous firepower.
Nothing, nothing will stop them.
The issue is not just that you can use alts in boats to do this.
The issue is boat combat, and combat overall, it sucks.
Noobs have 0 chance of getting away, if their boat is slower.
They are too inexperienced and slow to react and get to shallow water.
You get so scared when you see boat full of armed people that you can't do much at the situation.
In the video, I encountered 3 persons in total, 2 of them drowned and
died, 1 of them got away with only KO. If I wanted, I could have also stolen his snekkja.
And for the record: 2 of them required 2 hits, 1 of them just 1 hit to KO. And this was with around 15 melee alts.
And in the end, I could just teleport to home safely, because only these worthless alts got red handed, not me.
And think of this: If I had murder even on 1 of those alts,
I could have easily killed every single person on the video.
What I hope is that devs fix this ASAP. So noobs would no longer die or
get KO'd from totally unfair combat, especially in boats. They should also fix KO
protection to work in 100% cases, regardless of your wounds,
or if there is water under you, and consider making crime and
ganking noobs more difficult.
If devs don't fix this soon, I will release an easy to use
utility so every one of you can do this. Some smart people
may make their own utilities, and start doing this today already,
so stay out of water.
And for the noobs in this video: I am sorry, but it was for a greater good! Redirect your complaints to Jorb for not fixing this.
