ahhh ok my bad yes that makes a diff but i still think right now there are pvp options enough, with the community at the early stages and numbers, having a healthy server that is full would benefit pvp more than having it split. Numbers are not that high, but i do feel that will change in the future as the game progresses, the initial buyers and leavers are likely to come back to an improving game at release, and a lot of new players will be added at release, the game is going to get a lot more interesting as the content fleshes it all out, once the community is at a big enough size for other option, then other option could be a possibility, just to early for all that imo.

Great idea, oh wait no traders no materials no ships being built, no ships no pvp, like it or not OW needs all it has to be what it is, duel room coming soon and small large battles there already, you have several pvp only options in place. Community does not need splitting more.

All sounds great and look forward to seeing the AI run itself aground and sit there whilst it gets it's ass blown apart...! Hope AI fleets manage the land mass ok too other than that concern, hoping it all comes soon.

I agree with the OP a little character would not go amiss, a little discolouration here, a scratch or two where a French trader with half his wine load in his belly rubbed down the side of your ship that night in Freeport. It is the little things that make the difference. In fact going along with his everything has a story routine, how about your ship can collect scars after an epic battle? Maybe sink 3 pvp in the same battle and you get a scar across one side, or a mast gets a bruised area. Something that you can look at and remember the battle.... who knows it may even encourage more pvp, collect your battle woulds to prove your a real captain...?

Confirmed sucked, OW sailing speed as is right now, is as perfect as it has yet been. Explain >> sailing boats are not 200kmh speed boats, felt completely wrong on all levels. Making the boats move faster lost all the feel of what the game is about, and the only other way to get a boat across the distance if you don't do 200kmh is to shrink the map. Pretty straight forward really, faster boat or smaller map... both lose what the game is about. If you want speed boats try WOW.

Seems to be every port and all trading and crafting, anything that requirers information updating. It is not a great deal of time but it feel about 3 or 4 times longer than it needs to be in my experience of this type of info update within games. I don't feel it is lag, as i said before, but a very slow update of info. This may be normal at this stage of developement with a place holder interface and all. Just wanted to raise the issue, Will start asking others in game if they are experiencing the same thing, people may not report it as they know it is a placeholder situation there.

some of this is a nice idea, but if Swedish ore is used to build better cannon it must also use something from all nations or it will be available easily to only one Nation. Maybe a single Island somewhere can produce the exceptional item and has to have a lot of different high end materials smuggled in to produce them at this one set location, ai run forge to produce the item, you supply the matts. This would be an interesting place to visit too as it would be a hot spot for pvp

At some point map (not xp) wil be reset, ships and gold will be wiped. At this point in time people will be happy to change servers, and if any server needs to be taken down to help this, then that is the time to do it, Moving servers when you lose nothing is the best time to do this and the player base will balance itself out then. So much knee jerking going on in an alpha developing game in ea, really, numbers will always fall from release date, they will continue to fall as people decide the game is not for them, or they need more content and will come back after patches. The end of the world doom crew are exactly that, they base their 'game is dying' opinions on a personal and singular point of view with no substance except me me me. Chill the game is going forwards, all be it slowly, but upon full release it will be a game very worth new players time to purchase and has the full potential to be one of the classis you talk about in 20 30 years time. Let the moaners and whiners cry themselves to sleep, soon they will be doing exactly the same in another forum somewhere, it is what they do. Creative input is a worthy thing, pointing out negatives is part of the process, but really the end of the world is nigh has its place on street corners within a sandwich board, not NA. edit aimed at general masses not the OP

Ink if i can play the game fine, shoot mast off moving ships with single shots, yet get a lag only in menu, how can this be my isp, if i had a problem it would affect all aspects of the game not just menu, chat does not lag, game does not lag, only menu's please correct me if i am wrong but surely this cannot be an 'our end' type problem if everything else works just fine within game? Playing in a group no lag.... please explain how this is our end thanks. edit just to add, it is every time not just sometimes which again would suggest not lag.

I like this idea... come on admin dig deep and pull out an extra slot for the high lev investment needed.

well your rum is certainly high octane, i can see nothjing that looks like a rainbow in that pic at all...! Hopefully the storms will be put back in soon, then you will hear the moans aboout bad weather, but i for one love storms and the running away from them afetr your first one thinking its cool. So Rainbows, storms and more rum like Anne is drinking please

>>"Exploit"<< I am not keen at all about this, but gamers today need to cheat to feel they can achieve. So let the poor dears feel they are doing well in their deluded little worlds. The worthy shall inherit the OW through hard work and consciences killings

Crafting tab also take a lot of time to update for me too, not in the minutes but several seconds ( 10 -20) longer than would be expected of it.

Any one else have an image of ink searching through a table piled high with different reports in search of the one elusive report? Check the pile in thecorner

good step in the right direction, more conbtrol for crew and certaily more manual sail control, would love to be able to drop sails as i want aswell as what we already have, give skills a chance and stop baby sitting the cannots quite so much.

To many games are lessened by the toxic cheating crowd that lurk in the shadows of every game these days, send a harsh message as a warning to all players that here, in this game, the toxic/cheating cowd will not hold sway, and that there is no place for them within this game if they play this way. Send the message now, paint it on every sail on every ship! It is time that COMMUNITY took back from these scum that which they steal, spoil and belittle. They add nothing to the hard work of the devs, and take away a lot from the pleasure of a great game like this!

would be nice if the AI took over your ship for you if your connection drops, a fully crewed ship sitting there going quack quack seems a tad silly.

Ohh goody another poll, No Naval action today folks to busy filling in all the polls that spring up faster than a leaking Cerb. Good luck with this poll, i am sure the many poll adicts will be grateful for another opportunity to tick a one sided, loaded poll to try to get their opinions upvoted over any other. Not trying to be difficult (it comes natural) but it takes a very well written poll to be of any use.

you already have it, its called world of warships and is about as boring as any 1 dimensional game can get. Hey i know how about the devs develop something truly beautiful full of different styles of playability and we stomp it into a small flat ball of only one option, yay that’s a great plan!

You do realise that Cereal come in airtight plastic sealants within the box, all you have to do is poor the milk into the box (plastic bag) and ....hey presto... no washing up at all and this is an old dog teaching young pups a new trick

Back in the day, they would have lashed Admin to the fore mast and driven into a howling storm to force his deamons out, and cure him of his malady, if this is no option, try a lemsip...get him back on his feet and at the helm!

Dumbing down the aiming for those who found it hard before has already taken place, we have 2 lines and a shaded area leading each cannon to the enemy, it is a simple task to land shots with practice and the use of a ranging shot, any miss because the swell of the sea lifting or dropping at last minute is part of the game i feel. If myself and many others can knock down masts by placing single cannon shots repeatedly to the mast, it surely doesn't need to be made any easy than it already is.

This happened to me earlier today with the Euro servers too. I lost Euro servers whilst US were showing ping, this time it is US turn. Euro ping is fine but i am locked to US server as i was in battle.

And tough luck to those that work weekends! Totally bad idea. many players may not have free time at weekends for one reason or another. Limiting a large part of game to just 2 days is completely unacceptable and would kill player base during the week.

Cross swords is fine, no problem finding them myself, even in the 24 hour 7 days a week fog the Caribean is so famed for.
