Nope you are quite correct, i counted them today there are exactly 0 neutral players

oooh Lee shores yip yip yipee, can we have the wrecked ships forced aground in battle instance showing on open world map as wrecks too.... pretty please?

That may be so, but it would seem that about 80% of the people playing on the PVP server are in fact playing PVE and have no actual PVPing in mind. That being the case the PVE side is a far bigger side than PVP, except a large number of them are trying to pretend they are not scared to lose their ship by using the PVP servers rather than the PVE one....! Game offers both options, it should do them fairly, OP has a fair point in my mind. Having been on the PVE server when unable to log into my PVP 1 server the lack of options other than missions there is a real issue, and what ever side of the fence you prefer to play on PVE players are still customers.

How about anyone caught cheating or hacking gets the name attached to a hanged man on the the jetty of every capitol, strech their necks and show their face..... maybe cages for the lesser crimes?

They are indeed, you will notice that if you have vets in the game with you, at the first sign of fire they start making way to get clear of a burning ship. Big piles of gunpowder go boom inside an enclosed space make a mess of everything around be it with initial explosion, or the debris sent flying all around the point of bang. Fire get clear, if a ship has full crew they are very likely to be able to manage the fire, but if you have graped them down then the few left are almost certainly going to fail.

Slippery slope asking them to move stuff from servers to servers. I am sure it is very poss, but it would start a whole heap of requests to get stuff done on a one by one player level. Work then involved would then probably impact developement of the game as 3000 new players ask for micro management of their accounts. I have seen several of the free ships for sale in the Capital of Britain, not sure where u are situated, you can pick them up for quite a cheap price from some noob who tried it with 25% crew and thought it sucked lol. I have 2 Rem if you are really desperate for it i could sell it to you. It gets you one of them for a reasonable price

Naval action fits the game fine. What name are you suggesting in its place " This game is not a facebook game but a real game with real graphics and ships on a moving sea game"? Anyone to lazy to check out what it is about is going to be to lazy what ever it is called. May i politely suggest it is not the name that is at issue here.

Unless numbers support mutil servers in different areas single server would also be preferable anyway, high ping has to date been no issue in this game, PVE servers in different zones would be fine but PVP needs enough bods to make it work. SEA server (i am in SEA) for pvp would not be fun if but a handful of folk were on it.

May your course hold steady and true, and Poisidon himself feel fit to bless this venture and all those dedicated to it.

Pirates should just be red at all times to all players what ever side they join, non fire agreements can be made in person without any hand holding mechanics, it solves all the existing problems of pirates joining battles to avoid being hit and takes away the ability to suddenly be a nation in a battle.

Why not? everything else is going arcade style, why not have cruise control too. One more magic button please. It will certainly fit with other magic buttons lol. Personally i would much prefer the ability to lower a single sail to gain more control but hey... it is a game not real. (Not meaning to be sarcastic at you mouse, Just losing interest with all the dumbing down and magic buttons of late). But good luck with this, i feel it has a high chance.

Created a new character with the new patch to test Spain out as they seem to be low on players, having sailed all along the coast of Dom to Cuba and half way along that over the last 3 days, i have seen next to no ships at all included my own nations, and had 4 battles in those 3 days (1 pvp and 3 ai), I am slowly getting really bored trying to find something to hit. I don;t know if it is since the new patch or the new nation, i did not have this problem (prior the last patch) with English, Pirate or the Neutral character i deleted to go Spain. Right now in my starter Lynx and Yacht if i did not know any better i would have quit out of sheer boredom. So Skirmish mode would be a great way to stop me or a new player from logging out after another 30 - 40 mins of nothing at all. I cannot change my location any faster than the speed i can travel which has been constant with a few stops outside enemy ports twiddling my thumbs before moving on in ever decreasing hope. As it stands right now i am more likely to move to another game where i can have some fun than keep hoping in vain for a sail to appear on the horizon. If a new player has the sort of luck i am at present i do not see them staying long without some idea of the fun available. I believe the route i took from spawn point would be considered a normal choice, it was after all left or right. So my concern is that any new player could get a very misleading idea of the game if they suffer the same fate. Something like skirmish mode would be a great way to keep the player in NA instead of logging off when hitting a really dry spell.

Little things i'd like to see.... hmmm Nipples

Just finished Summer season here, 42-45 degrees C Poor ole lap tap has a tongue hanging out the front! Ha sorry took a few mins to make the pic in photoshop Oh poop forgot to add shadow under tongue, never mind you get the idea.

I think you missed my point, i am and can run at ultra, i am not complaining and do not have any issue, i am pointing out my surprise at being able to run the game at my specs at such a high level with a healthy fps in battle and an acceptable one out in OW I am very pleased that this game runs at that level on a 3 year old laptop i would have expected to have had to lower settings, but not Good job i say and any further optimizing will be a bonus. EDIT ^^ Ahh sorry i thought that was a reply to me. Adam turn the AA off and set water level to high or medium that is all i have done, everything else is on ultra and running fine. If that does not help try high and no AA then water lower.

First, I am all for adding good features that add depth and immersion into a game, i am however dead against adding thing just to make a game easier, personally i see it as defeating the point of having a challenge in a game. Concerning your point i am not sure quite how i (personally) feel either way. On the one hand it would be nice to be able to send any ship you happened to find in your travels straight to your home port, maybe a 2 day+ delivery crew job, and on the other hand the excitement of hopping into the Lynx to go on a shopping trip to find your next purchase adds an extra dimension to the game. I think your idea has merit but perhaps it leans to far to the make it easier for my own personal tastes, but i am just one player so.......! Enjoy your new ship

Only problem this raises is if you are unaware of the fact before hand (which a lot of folk will be) you cannot store ships in any port without a warehouse, you now know this so it will not need to be an issue again The way around this feature is to go shopping in a basic Lynx, which is a free ship so losing it matters not. If your new ship is a good one ditch the privy you can cap another easy enough hope this helps.

Give everyone 24 ai ships so we have full 25/25 battles no ganking is poss as only 1 player each side can join and you will never have to fight the battle yourself as you can all hide behind your meat shield until it is safe to close and small arm fire the survivors in the water.....! NO to AI fleets, Naval action not robotic action!!!

This is very strange because i have mine set to Ultra except AA off and water on high, in OW i get 20 fps low but playable and battle i have it capped at 30 which it is at. My laptop is 3 years old with Processor Intel® Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 2401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) Graphics chip GeForce GTX 660M 8 gig ram 1920 x 1080 It is about the only game i can run on Ultra settings, i was actually surprised that i could run it at that high a setting. Not getting hotter than normal.

amp i think this is a problem for you i have never been kicked.

About time a game company took a step in the right direction like this, the toxic foul mouth brigade have lowered the level of social interaction for far to long. Maybe they will start to learn a little respect comes back if given and perhaps even learn how to use and spell 5 letter words too.

Should have gone for the coffee merchants!

Could you try it with deck 1 locked then deck 2 locked etc, see if all decks are missing or if it is a single deck effecting all of them in the form of a bug, as you say lower deck should not go over the top close in, would have to have about 40 degree heel to miss. maybe try the auto broadside from non gunner view too, the [ and ] keys. Would try it myself but i stopped at the Con and started testing in pirate and neutral so no Bell in main account at presnt.

You do know that you can stack them on top of each other rather than just having to fill the whole warehouse with separate items? I only find muskets not tea as yet, and only in the Neutral account i created recently to test there. What Nation are the Tea being found in? My Pirate and British accounts have to date not found any cargo at all
