  1. Dear DEVS Need Help recovering ship. So I just finished the final exam, took out the Hercules to see what she can do. Capped a LGV, I switched ships to see what wood the lgv was because you have not fixed that bug since last freaking year and the only way to see a capped ship wood is to switch it, and then it told me I can't switch back to my Hercules because god knows what drove you guys to put that mechanic in the game. The battle timed out and now the Hercules is gone. Real nice! Is there any chance you could restore it for me or something? I spent hours trying to pass that friggin final exam just so I can get the middle finger from a stupid bug from last year. Please help. Maximum frustration level achieved.
  2. Well, wrong might not be the best word. She just feels a bit incomplete. Take Le Gros Ventre. Everything on that ship is superbly detailed and finished. From the top notch texture work with all the bolts and rivets to the deck structures and gun ports. It feels like a finished model. The Surprise, by contrast looks like it's a work in progress. The hull, looking at the gun ports doesn't have that double thickness to it that I've seen on other ships. The bowsprit just clips into the hull geometry with no visual queue to explain why it's supposed to be like that. The texture itself makes the ship seem a bit flat. I do love the fact that the modeler took the time to add the little chairs and table inside the captain's quarters and overall It's a gorgeous ship. It might be that there aren't enough visual references out there for it and that's why it came out like this, but that shouldn't get in the way of creativity. I'm pretty sure the artists modeling/texturing these ships have a solid foundation on how these ships were constructed and how they worked and that alone would give them the confidence to fill in the blank areas where not enough info exists on a particular vessel. I just feel that she deserves a bit more love from the artist regarding the little details that I've seen on other ships. It's a matter of polishing the assets for future updates/final iteration of the game.
  3. I assume we're talking about this Surprise? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Surprise_(1796)#/media/File:HMS_Surprise©Ted_Rufus_Ross.JPG Tiny question here. Will the devs update the model? The one currently in game is a bit... well... lacking in the visual department. Even though it's my fave ship so far.
  4. Here are the things I'l love to see in the OW area, as I'm a huge fan of sailing for hours and exploring/trading/fishing. Better water physics Better ship animations (sails and rudder) Option to turn the ship lights on or off Manual sail control Crew on ship Open/Closed gun ports toggle (no complex/ demanding animation needed) Better day/night sky transitions Earth curvature I understand the performance concern in crowded situations for some of these, but the game can automatically dumb down graphics settings when this happens. There are other MMOs that do this.
