  1. I have 300 Hours on the game but its from back before march of last year. I don't know what has changed. though I don't know what hugging is.
  2. Tried that its still really painfull. I really need to finish it I have a Pirate Frig Fully fitted out but I don't have the crew required for it yet.
  3. So I am trying to finish the Final Exam. Alot of online posts says the best way to do the final exam is to make a straight line to one of the ships and start a boarding action. Well thats not that hard the problem is that even following 2 different videos the other ship just comes around behind me and starts poping shells into my rear end droping my crew faster than I can take out the enemy crew. Is there some way new or did they change it or am I just really unlucky.
  4. Huh My friend just skipped the tutorials and he is sitting on Master Commandant while I actually did it up to the endurance mission and didn't get it.
  5. I bought this game way back on day one of EA. I played it for a good long time currently have 250 hours and I quit a while back and went to other things with my friends. My friend said he wanted to come back so we did today and with us both quiting on the same day he comes back and finds himself getting a yacht and thrown back up to his old rank of Master Commandant while I got stuck at midshipman with only a cutter. I remember I had in my redeemables at one point several ships such as a Renommee and a few other ships though I can't remember them all. Do I get any of that back or was it a wipe when they changed all this?
  6. So i attempt to connect today and I get this error message poping up when I click on the server I want to connect to. http://puu.sh/nC98g/77e04b168a.png Actually I get that on every server.
  7. Yeah maybe with the crafting but I got the idea for trading xp because even though your NOT fighting your still piloting your boat. Your riding it around hours at a time picking up little details on how the ship is supposed to run.
  8. I was working today with a friend of mine on a few missions and we started theory-crafting a few ways you could add more missions. These are the ideas we came up with. Trade Missions The way trade missions work is fairly simple. You pick up a mission from a free city. When you collect the mission you get an item added into your inventory called Cargo. Cargo is around 200 to 300 pounds in weight so you have to have a trader ship to deliver it. Cargo is then taken to a different port. This is where the idea splits in the way it works. Option 1: You have obtained the Cargo and put it into your trader. The map will put a icon on the map denoting where the cargo is being sent. The lower level missions will only have you go a few ports away while the higher you rank up the further the mission takes you. It always goes to a free town so your mission can't be interrupted by someone capping the port. When you get to the location you are given an option under the mission tab to turn in the Cargo whereupon you receive your Gold and XP. XP gain from doing trading missions is increased over normal missions. Doing a Second Lt. Mission in combat nets you 1000 gold and 50xp. Doing the same mission for Transport nets you 4000 gold and 100 XP. The reason behind this is you are not getting the XP from combat you do in these missions. Option 2: You have obtained the Cargo and put it into your trader. No mark is given as the delivery location you are to take the goods to is ANY free town you can get to. If you take the Cargo to one that's really close and only takes you 30 minutes to get to you will receive around 4000 xp and 100 xp. If you decide to Run the gauntlet so to speak and make a trade run to enemy infested waters after a 4 hour long ride you will receive 30,000 gold and 1,000 XP. One thing to add to these missions is that at the end of said mission you have a low chance to receive Resources that you can take back to port with you for a bit of extra income. These resources range anywhere from 25 Hemp (basic upgrade drop in combat missions) all the way up to if you get really lucky say around 1000 Compass wood or gold (Exceptional Upgrade drop) Crafting Missions Crafting missions are missions given to you based on your Crafting level. The lower level missions will have you crafting parts while the higher level missions might have you craft low tier ships ( Lynx, Cutter, Privateer, ETC...) These Missions will transform any Extra Crafting hours you have into XP and Gold for you time spent. When you receive a Crafting mission you will get a few items. You will get City Owned goods that can not be used to make anything else other than the crafting mission items, they can also not leave port or be traded away. You will also receive a Entry in your crafting menu where you can craft City owned items. Again can't be sold, traded, used , or leave port. You then use the items you receive to craft the items the port requests of you and turn them back in. Doing this will result in a fair sum of gold for the item you made for them. roughly around 500 gold and 25xp you also get the xp in your crafting level that you got from crafting the items. Gold gains and XP gains from this will always be fairly low even if you craft them a full Ship such as a snow or something similar you will only receive around 20k gold and 500xp. But here is a bit of a boost you can use your own crafting notes you made yourselves if the mission requires a ship or upgrade to make the item of a better quality to get increased rewards. Example is this You crafted a City owned basic Snow Reward: 20k gold 500xp You crafted a City owned Common Snow Reward: 40k gold 600xp You crafted a City owned Fine Snow Reward: 60k gold 800 xp You crafted a City owned Mastercraft Snow Reward 90k gold 1k xp. You crafted a City owned Exceptional Snow Reward 150k gold 1.5k xp Yes at the end you did make ALOT of money and xp off the Exceptional item but to do that you had to spend 1000 crafting hours bonus to make the 4 crafting notes needed and around 80k of your own gold.(Price to sell them to people) There is no extra reward given for doing crafting missions other than the xp for crafting, xp for your Rank, and Gold gained.

  9. Its not just Sweedish thats had Fir problems The US is having a bunch of trouble to
  10. right now everyone is short on fir. None of us can find any and in the places we DO find it they are selling for 100+ gold a piece. If your lucky to get a spawn of fir in a town that has it you can buy it for around 35 but in 99% of the cases everyone has a contract up to get that fir the second it spawns.
  11. Great crafters in this group one of the members has a good crafting level and helped me grab a snow when we moved over to the US server. Its freaking amazing So far I have taken on 2 snows 2 pickles 2 cutters 1 mercury and a rene with this snow the rene did put me about 1/4 armor on one side but since I got this thing I have pulled in around 80k gold and around 4k xp.
  12. Designed based on plans by Jacques-Noël Sané, and updated by Maillot, she and her sister (Pluton) were the prototypes of a new variant of the Téméraire class designed to have a smaller draught, allowing the production of ships of the line in the shallow harbour of Antwerp Pluton was a Téméraire class 74-gun French ship of the line built at Toulon. She was one of two prototypes for a derivative sub-class of the original design; this sub-class (somewhat smaller than the primary design) was specially intended for construction in some of the shipyards in states occupied by the French, where there was less depth of water than in the main French shipyards.
  13. I don't think banning them would be fair BUT not banning or anything the people that shoot them if they do grief you is fair. Example is this(it actually happened) Me and my friend were in a mission I was in a snow he was in the rene and we were working on capping a Cerb that showed up in his mission. someone came in and proceeded to board it. me and my friend came up and just broadsided the hell out of him reducing his ship to 0 armor on both sides and back in about 2 minutes. He had worked through about 3/4 of the enemy crew in this time. He sank we board the Cerb and claim it.
  14. The Borée was a 3 masted ship of the line that was built around with the idea of Shallow water combat. It was a 74 gun ship. I was wondering if we would see this in game Its wiki is actually listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Bor%C3%A9e_%281805%29 Or the Pluton Both were meant for shallow water.
  15. Yeah I know someone gave me their Niagra so i was like cool I can go do stuff so went and got some money armed it out got some nice upgrades for it and was working toward going and getting some missioning done and I get on tonight to him telling me he wants the ship back.. So i had only gotten a single trader snow.. Needless to say I am now out of playing naval action again for a while untill we get more redeemables because I can't kill Mercuries and Renes by myself in a cutter now.
