Had this, done that, removed open world trader movement and reduced the importance of region control. Suck it up and sail. Your ignorance is terrifying ...

He brought up the fact that it was done, tested and tried out and the devs removed it cause it took away from the OW experience of folks being able to hunt those that needed to move things around. If you want your goods, than move them the old fashion way, with a ship, in the open world. If you don't want to loose your goods there is a PvE server or you can stay in the safe zones. Even better is to encourage folks to craft and sale them in spots others need them. Good way for lower level players to make some money cause every one needs repairs in the hot zones after all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game needs to allow such thing as offer/demand mechanics. As long as it isn`t posible, we spend too much time sailing around. There will be no less traders in open sea, if you move cargo through free ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If free ports allow no buildings. If postal service is only for raw resources and no materials nor assembled goods nor ship goods nor marks nor notes nor whatever that is not plain raw resources... Guess it is a two sides of the same coin. Comfort in exchange of having your ship in the water at the very least in between the free port and whatever destination. Remove zones and have free ports are primary corsair havens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players would lose nothing, would spare time on other things, instead of sailing while watching Netflix..(or was it watching Netflix while sailing?)

Christendom Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) The game is already easy enough for the average trader with safe zones and vital resources that spawn inside of them. I still can't for the life of me figure out why there isn't a player generate ship delivery system in game. Player X puts up a contract to haul 2000 iron ingots to Georgetown. Player Y accepts and receives the payment + XP. So simple and such a good mechanic to generate content. Instead we're getting ships that can sail backwards.... Anyway @Cortez your idea has been suggested and tried before. Don't insult others because their opinions differ.

Takumi El risitas Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 put contacts in your capital to buy the resources you need, if you are paying a good quantity of gold you should get the materials "fast" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubbyZebra Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 As a trader/merchant player, please do not implement a way to move goods between ports without sailing. This kills the game for me and others like me (and those that hunt players like me). Please also remove non-producable goods from safe-zone ports (or better yet, make all crafting base resources, except rare resources for upgrades, producable only and give us an extra building slot or 2). Please add in a better trading system, where traders can access a common (maybe nation restricted, maybe not) market to see where buy/sell contracts are currently in place (would also be useful for ships). Sailing to a port at 10pm because it had a sell contract at 6AM only to find the contract is not there is annoying as hell and a huge waste of players time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. I am trading and crafting only, and never fight(unless i get attacked). Suddenly you need traders and crafters, but when i am suggesting to cut the average sailing time, then it`s "oh we need such players". Lol.
