It wouldn't be realistic and has no place in this game. Send the individual a private message and invite them to chat via Steam or Teamspeak.

I agree as well, as a naval captain you wouldn't sit back and be like "Oh my friend is in danger, however I can't do anything because it's an even fight!" You know what you call people that fight fair? We call them the deceased.

Yeah this whole "you need X" to progress is nonsense. One of the BIGGEST selling points to my friends when Steam release happens is that there's no ridid progression. It's straightforward based on damage. Now I have to sail ships I hate vehemently to do anything, I play and test different features where I can but this is too much. I am an adult that cannot donate hundreds of hours just to do anything. This needs adjusting. Straightforward.

Anyone else having severe login issues? I had another gentleman in my teamspeak having the same issues as myself.

Spread this post around, get some other people from the forums involved in this conversation. I think it would be great to have Developer input into this situation.

Jedzk, that's also a really good idea. Maybe let fishermen open their own instances though just for fishing?

Hello everyone, I came up with an idea the other day and that is Permanent or Random instances. With these instances it could just be you sailing along a coast and a random situation comes up that draws you into the Instance, or it might even be a visible Instance that draws up. Lets say we are sailing and my men on watch call out that there's a vessel in distress. So you have the opportunity to enter the instance and render assistance or even plunder their goods. With that you may win Honor points or Dishonor points (could be implemented?) or it might win you a reward or it might even be pirates laying a trap in the instance! Say we are sailing along a coast and it has Natives, you can sail to the Natives and initiate trade (Spices, rare wood, gold?). In return the natives can ask for weapons, foodstuffs, certain materials, with this it could allow the game to be significantly less monotonous (sp). It gives some semblance of something to do other than sail and fall asleep. We can also visit fishing using the same instance system, you don't like fighting or trading but you want to whale or even fish for rare fishes. Fishing could be just entering an instance and hunting these animals based on where you see them in the instance. You have to sail up and it would be like boarding but instead of the boarding screen you get a screen that has like Reel In, Send Small Boats, etc. With the bigger your vessel for fishing (these can be controlled by the rank for fighting and use the same crew amounts). We could even reuse the trader vessels and just call them Fishing Cutter, Fishing Lynx, Fishing Brig etc, and the upgrades can be "Gill Nets, Spare Small Boats, Expanded Furnace and several other options." Since whalers burned blubber at sea the furnace can only be installed on larger vessels. Instances can be done to improve gameplay, expand opportunities for both losing your vessel, gaining extra money or joining a good fight. Feel free to expand on these ideas and add your own.

Awesome, thank you Northern. If capable lock it since the bossmen already know the issue.

This evening has had a dozen or so people crashing and not being able to log back in. I myself have lost a durability because I can't log in.

So my friend just came back to NA after a hiatus, however there seems to be an extreme graphics issue. We did everything in the book about reinstalling and verifying integrity and he keeps is drivers up to date at all times. Everything for his hardware is golden and it exceeds minimum specs by a lot. His card is a GTX 650 and this is a picture of the issue he is having: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529245206

Or be an American. I make a daily celebration of saying "Fuck the King" The mates cheer with me and well copious amounts of alcohol we're had and that's how I got stuck in the stockades.

I'm sorry, are you a back to back world war champion? What country is yours exactly? I assume one of the dozens we had to bail out TWO times.

I am confused on what this is exactly.
