Just because you don't see it that way does not mean others will not. Already one person in this thread who expressed such concern, and seeing admins response to it others may be less likely to voice it for fear of reprisal. That can build resentment further confirming whatever feeling they initially had. Or I could be really overthinking it lol.

Interesting development, hope to meet some of you on the open seas.

Impressions are important Admin/devs If you start doing anything that looks like favoritism/bias as opposed to real balance attempts it could give the wrong impression.

Depending on how it's done it may be a bit clunky, that is my concern. Misread on my part, what happens when you don't get much sleep lol.

Stupid question, with all ports being reset how will this impact outpost, ships at ports that are reset, warehouses etc? Also posted Link on steam forum as it appears to been forgotten

IIRC the devs are possibly adding some more ranks, which should shake things up a bit.

Will be interesting to see how much more complicated the control layout is due to this. That added to the lack of tutorial will blindside the majority who are not on the forums.

I pick up a few words from various nationalities at work, of course they are not ones use in polite conversation.

Playing and communicating are different things. Yes I can play with someone who does not understand me, but if I want them to target sails with chain vs the hall with ball then how would I communicate that.

So you don't see an issue forcing 3 players, none of which speak a common language try and play together and communicate in battle?

Problem with a 24 hour wait is not everyone has the same day to day schedule. The 25 players you intend to attack with today might be reduced by half tommorow. The real issue is similar to scheduling maintence on the servers. No matter when you do it, it's not going to be fair to somebody.

Limiting choice is never a good idea. Why force players to play a nation they have no intrest in. This is not including potential language barriers. I don't speak Spanish, so how would I ( or anyone else) who does not speak Spanish communicate with the nation that I'm forced to play in. I get it, the Spanish players for whatever reason can't get their act together. I know it sounds insulting but it's not meant to be. But the last thing you need is bias accusations that favor the Spanish or any other nation. I'm sure someone will probably propose limiting U.S players to their own servers as well. I know a lot of Spanish players want this, but i feel you do it for one then others may make the same demands.

http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/3154-slave-trade-preferences/page-3#entry63731 Stated both whaling and slavery are not likely to be added. Slavery due to obvious political reasons, and whaling not political but not currently in game direction.

Pirates as implemented currently are a bad joke. I was hoping to switch over once I learned the ropes for something more challenging, unfortunately it looks like change is unlikely.

Devs stated its too politically sensitive to put in game. Same with slavery.

No, they are not. The way they are implemented is a joke compared to the devs originall stated purpose.

Nothing that intrest me, but I can see the appeal to a few I guess.

Hunting down and sinking other ships in OW, and large scale PB's sre more than enough for me. trading and crafting are dull, and for my needs are pretty much a waste of time. If that's your thing more power to you but it's not for me.

I have tried, but the only battles I'm finding are people doing missions. So I can't enter I've seen about 30 battles going on today that I can't enter. I got in one battle and I feel bad for the guy in a trader snow. I see players asking in chat for pvp, both in global and in national. There is little to be found. This is regardless what time of day I'm on. I think there was one "big" fight yesterday against a single Spanish fleet of 7 ships, thats the only one anybody was talking about. So where is the pvp?

So I take it yo activley seek out fights where 4-5 vs 1 when the odds are against you?

People are afraid to fight now with multiple duras on ships Wonder what would happen if everyone only had 1....

Bravery and Spain don't belong in the same sentence.

Not even voted yet lol. No clue and at this point does not seem to matter.

I would love to see pirates set as you detailed in you no to starting as a pirate thread but sadly I feel to many already as limiting the pirates role and will not be done. There are simply to many players in that group for the developers to risk it. Any thoughts on my non pirate suggestion?

It was/is the intent of the developers at one point to make pirates the hardest faction to play. Thinking about making another thread with my other suggestion seeing this will likely be filled with angry pirates.
