Yup

Me and 3 friends lost connection in the middle of our battle. When we restarted the game we could not get past the character selection screen. Is the server down or is it just us? I do NOT want to lose my ship.

I get over 100k gold with a single fleet mission. Not special enough.

I'm enjoying the new fishing mechanic. The bottles you can catch add excellent random rewards and are fun to navigate to. I was thinking, this concept could be used for something more challenging and interesting. This is my proposal: A treasure galleon (or multiple) randomly sail across the map (or spawn depending if you have the bottle). The treasure galleon is escorted by multiple ships of the line and will require cooperation and teamwork to take down. There will be a high risk, but if successful, the loot and rewards will be exceptionally rich. This could be combined with some PvP, like two parties hunting for the same treasure, what do you think of this suggestion? What could be added? Let me know.

What are you talking about?

So... why exactly dont we have spyglass in OW yet? Probably most simple and one of the most requested features to have. Yet.. such a simple thing to implement or am I missing something?

I preferred the timer longer, but the majority like the 2 min timer. So I guess we will have to live with it.

Ah that makes sense. Well yeah the popping is the main thing that bothers me really.

The rendering distance was just fine before. And then they decreased it for the sake of ' the surprise factor' but do we want this? I hate it. And seems the majority does. I say bring back the old rendering distances.

Why should the devs even pay attention to a tiny portion of the playerbase. It's not like you cannot PvE on the PvP server.

Wondering what people think about the current view distance. I really, really hate it actually. I don't like the popping on ships on the horizon. I remember seeing them appear through the fog, you could see far.. now, you can sail into a massive fleet without realizing it on time. That's my stance on it anyway. Edit: Turns out it was just foggier before. However I still stand by what I said, I do not like the popping in of ships.

If it would ever become a possibility I'd personally go for 'De Rode Vis'

Well, I'll need screenshots and perhaps footage without UI of battles preferably.

I would do it anyway regardless of what people think but I am going to need contacts in every nation. So it certainly requires cooperation.

I'm going to add an example of what I propose:

To expand upon my idea. I don't wish to just open the in game map and talk over it like I am summing up what happened. I am willing to make a documentary like style of storytelling with fragments of the actual battles along with names of players if it's possible. That is why I want a monthly recap, because they would cost effort and time to make.

Somewhat certainly, but not what I have in mind.

Good day, I've had an idea in my head for a while to do a monthly video series on the development of conquest around the world map. The basic concept is as following: The news/conquest and battles are told as a story with the help of a map and video fragments from battles. However, there is certain aspects which makes this idea complex. Such as obtaining the video fragments, as there is no ability to spectate certain battles it would require cooperation of people in every nation to provide cinematic shots of the battles. It doesn't actually have to be conquest only, it could be a general monthly news video of what is going on around the map. I have the experience to edit the video's, have the utilities and materials to start working on them. And I propose the next port wipe, is an excellent time to start them. What I want to know however, if there is any interest for this, making this will after all require help around every nation. Let me know via a vote or a comment, I appreciate it!

Agreed. The other servers are pretty much pointless with the small playerbase they have. I was against extra servers for a start, would be a good opportunity to do it. I say, keep one PvE server and one PvP. There's always a few people that don't want to do PvP. Yet, I'd rather have them introduce single player for the people that wish to do PvE only, I don't see the appeal but.. seems like some want it. The timers exist in the first place so that people can play internationally together.

I still don't see why people find ganking such a big deal. I have never been ganked in the over 500 hours I have played.

It was a nice try, but it didn't work. Luckily the devs listened as always and removed it though.

What do you think about the 1.5BR balancing rule. Are you in favour or not?

I am still figuring out a way to turn the camera in remote desktop. Would actually make me able to do trading from my phone.
