Quoi t'as honte d'avoir appris la navigation avec ta baignoi.... heu, ton optimist dans la Moselle ?

Au risque de paraitre hors sujet... Mais voici la preuve que Jeanne s'est effectivement coupé la barbe a une époque (Elle lui arrive actuellement aux genoux). De rien "Jeanette".

Malheureusement, ce sont des choses qui arrivent, il est donc indispensable d’être sur ses gardes en territoire étranger. Je comprends néanmoins le désagrément... Quelques petites choses ayant déjà (pour certaines=) étaient dites : Utilise la touche "Tab" en bataille pour changer le tab team/all qui te permet de parler a ton équipe (en bleu) ou a tout le monde (en blanc). Parler en Majuscule n'aide jamais a bien entamer la conversation... Certains joueurs ne sont pas au courant de nos arrangements, d'autres s'en fichent... Dans tous les cas, le jeu leur permet de te tag, donc leur gueuler dessus ne fera que diminuer tes chances de les raisonner. De la même façon, venir demander réparation sous menace ne t'apportera probablement pas la sympathie des hollandais, qui respectent cet arrangement pour la majorité d'entre eux (mettre tout le monde dans le même panier sous prétexte que l'un d'entre eux est pourri...). Enfin, prétendre qu'une nation qui n'aurait pas le pouvoir de faire respecter ses arrangements ne mériterait pas se titre (ou quelque chose d'approchant), c'est malheureusement nous inclure dans cette déclaration... Hé oui, a une époque nous avions un conseil de nation, avec réunion et des représentant d'une très large majorité des clan français, des diplomates étaient chargés de la communication entre faction... et pourtant, certains clan ayant eux même une voix au conseil enfreignait parfois délibérément les décisions commune, dont celles des traités de non agression (Je ne juge nullement ces clans/guildes ici ! Chacun a ses raisons) Bref, a bientôt sur les flots !

I could not acces to F11 or any other fonction (the log window was messing everything up). However, I really dont care that he caped it, I proposed several times to let it go for him. What I did not like though, was the fact : 1. He was aggressive regarding me as I stayed polite all along. and 2. he freindly fired at me several times without ANY reasons (I wasnt even trying to prevent him from caping and/or sinking the LGV.) And when I say he fired at me, I mean a complete, aimed broadside several times.

My ingame name : Kair Alzahir (Privateer) Offender ingame name : Capitaine Mormoila (indéfatigable) Green to green damage : 2-3 complete broadsides, intentional (no ship near me, was almost point blank). I tagged the LGV. Once I got the logs up, couldnt close it anymore (had to crash the game and log back in) so I dont have the full logs. A witness was there the entire time : "blancherive" Conversation went as folow : I tagged a LGV with my Privateer, he joined in and started saying I was "avid" ("rapace" in french), and that I was going the other way and when I spoted him folow the LGV I folowed him to piss him off. I replyed I was sorry, and that was never my intention. I then sailed away (was verry close to the LGV). He continued on the chat telling me I couldnt take an LGV with a privateer so I was obviously there to piss him off. I answered I could easily take it, and that my intentions were never to be disobliging, and that he should calme down. Then he said he would be happy to see me try (mokking me about it). I said ok, and sailed back to the LGV. By that time he had catched up. He went board to board with him and started shooting his broadside. I fired a few shots in the LGV sails while stern camping it, also did a few crew kills (~50) and eventually passed on "Capitaine Mormoila"s starboard. He asked me what was the purpous of me staying in combat, I did not answer. He then fired a first broadside at me (100% of my armor was destroyed in one volley). I got the logs out and could not close it neither maneuver my ship anymore. By the time I logged out, he fired a second, and maybe a third broad side at me. Did not lost my ship it seems, but I stayed cool ALL along and proposed several times to let him the LGV though I was the one that tagged it... People with a bad spirit like that tend to kill nations/games, it seems to me important to report actions like that.

I have always considered many Danes and many Swedes to be honorable - and, for some of them my friends - captains. But this has not always been... I remember waging war against the Danes in my early years as a captain, and strugling to settle peace between France and Sweden one year aggo... War can reveal the worst in someone, but it can also bring much more... May it strengthen the respect both of your nations have towards oneanother. Regards.

Je confirme ! Je l'ai lâchement forcé !

Je pense qu'une certaine unité au niveau du TS est effectivement quelque chose d'utile pour une bonne cohésion et une efficacité accru. A ce titre, la mise a disposition du serveur EDR pour la nation Française a, et je l’espère sera, un atout inestimable. Je n'ai pas été suffisamment présent ces 3 derniers mois pour une analyse pertinente de "comment relancer la France et/ou le TS", mais peut être - et je dis cela par rapport a avant - que "lisser" un peu les différents chan, pour qu'il y ai moins de différences entre les chans EDR et les chan des autres clan, ainsi que lisser les "autorisations" dans le même sens, pourrait contribuer a encourager certains a revenir ? Ou recréer un TS neuf, plus "neutre" ? J'ai bien conscience que ce TS est payé par les EDR et avant tout pour les EDR, d'où les autorisations spéciales (qui ne sont en fait pour la plupart que de la cosmétique)... Mais peut être que, conduit par leur affecte, la fierté, l'égo, le désire de s'opposer etc. certains sont justement parti symboliquement ? Tout cela ne reste qu'une analyse fort probablement simpliste qui n'englobe certainement pas tout le monde... Ps : Je n'ai cité que le clan EDR dans mon post, mais il est évident qu'un certain nombre d'autre clans on fortement contribué, a mon sens, a faire du TS un lieu agréable pour tous. Merci a eux !

All the best for you guys too Devs !

Combine this = Great improvement.

As promised, these are the spreadsheets we made to help us organise the tournament. The sheets are mostly self explanatory. You can freely copy them to your own google drive for any future events. To do so, I'll use Tommy Shelbys words (in this post) : Making a Personal Copy of the Spreadsheet. - Click the image bellow. You should now be redirected to the spreadsheet. - Click "File" in top left corner of the browser. - Select "Make a copy", this will create a copy of the spreadsheet in your own Google Drive. - Add the new sheet to bookmarks if you are not familiar with google drive and fear losing the link. You'll find 2 main tabs at the bottom of the page : Tab 1 : Teams All teams and rosters Information regarding registrations Team contacts (with link included) Tab 2 : Schedule Groups and matches Match organisation (dates and judges and streamer registrations) Link to videos I will, at some point, clear the names / teams etc. to make it nice and clean. If you still haven't done so, please help the Devs make Naval action a better game by taking a minute of your time to give your feedback on the tournament ! [This post may be edited for more explanation if needed]

Hello Twig, A lot of your questions have been answerd already, but I'll go through them as well : Tournament could be concidered as a special event, the devs did monitor it from there end (even making a special "Mission room" for it). That being said, It is unfortunate that the other servers did not get a tournament. It was however already a LOT of work for us to organise on 1 server and I dont see how we could have found the time to make it happen on 3 servers by ourselves. The tournament was indeed a "player based event", but as said just above, the Devs did support it in many ways. They monitored it to test the fighting mechanics, they sponsored it reward wise and finally they created a unique combat room named "Tournament" next to large and small battles. It is still player based, but isnt it a good thing that the Devs of a game support some community events ? The tournament was open to entry for more then 3 weeks. Several teams even asked me in after tournament closure and we did manage to get them ALL in. Understand me this way : ALL teams that asked for entry eventually got in. You can ask LG team 1, BT team 1, SLRN Team 3 and Kin team 2 for exemple. 32 teams, 3 rewarded... Doing the tournament "just to get a BP" is not, in my oppinion, a very effective way to manage time/reward. Team had to go through a lot of matches, lose ships, officer lives, win the matches etc... The rewards are a way to "mark the achievement" and they are well deserved concidering the route every team made. I do not understand you phrase : "This is also about capriciousness". But if you a refering to the fact some people actually "proposed" at some point to change the ships for BPs, I'm affraid it has nothing to do with "capriciousness" as the Devs told us a long time aggo that the prices would be changed to BPs. We were however asked to keep it for us as they wanted it to be a surprise. The exact numbers are as follow : 131 players got, at some point, entry to the tournament. Some of them quit, or simply did never answere the PMs. Others got in, did not have time to play there matches, and some played part or all of them. Add organizers and judges = 5. Streamers (not counting judges) = 4. Initial idea by Molonlabb = 1. So a total of 141 personns got involved one way or another. Theses are just the numbers, not trying to prove anything with them, only the fact it was a "big" player event (and I'm not even counting the Dev team that did help us out). Now to say things the way I think them : I do understand this can be frustrating at some point to realise afterwards that the prices could have given you more interest in the tournament. That being said, nothing has been taken from anyone, it's only a bonus to some few that actually did a lot of efforts. It was a small competition that turned out way more time-consuming and difficult to everyone. Let's be honnest, the rewards to theses teams were very well deserved. I wish you all the best, Kair

Main page updated with links : Video with comments but with 2 minutes missing and low 480p (The best I managed to recover). Anolytic POV video in 720p.

I managed to recover part of my video. It's uploading atm. The first part is missing though.

This may be out of topic, but I just love it too ! Simple and sleek. No "fancy" bar that take half the screen. Back on the topic, I think it is part of human nature to be like that. It's sad, but almost inevitable. Anyway, you guys are doing a great job as far as I'm concerned, and if I look at the time i've spent so far on the game, was defenatly a game worth buying and waiting for ! Keep it up !

Unfortunately, my PC crashed a few minutes after, beffore I shut down the vid. It seems that OBS dosnt like that, and at the moment, I just cant read the video. I'm working on recovering it, but the few forum posts I read about this particular problem is a bit pessimistic. We are doing our best and will keep you updated.

We will post our google drive spreadsheets and open them to copys as soon as the tournament is over. That way, next tournament will be a bit easier to organise.

Update : Just had a talk with Surcouf in PM (and in French), and he confirms that theses are indeed front chassers portholes on the Hermione.

Great stuff ! Thanks Surcouf for all this data ! Also, I did a bit of research and wanted to have your confirmation about L'Hermione having front chassers. I did read, I think from the captains logs : "A 2 heures 1/2, j'ai reconnu le bâtiment que je chassais pour un navire marchand anglais qui a arboré son pavillon. J'ai envoyé le mien et lui ayant tiré un coup de canon de chasse, il a amené." which would translate into something like : "At 2h30, I identified the ship that I was hunting as a British merchant ship that had raised its flag. I raised mine and having fired a "warning shot" with our bow chassers he brought his flag down." Also I did see what could be a porthole for theses chassers : on this picture of the Hermione replica / As well as on this virtual copy Then again, I'm not a naval expert, nor a historian or specialist in that matter. Can you confirm or invalidate that Surcouf ?

I'm still not sure what to think about some things in this upcoming patch. Most of it seems really good, but I have a few things I dont understand/dont like : Full 1 dura ships has never been something I enjoy (I know we are only talking about the Endy and Inde for the time being). I'll live with it if it happens, but upgrades should be really a LOT less expensive then, and ALL of them should be craftable. Rework of the tagging systeme, I dont like it. The old systeme has flaws, it's true, but no systeme will ever be perfect. No more joining combats will mean a lot of things, including the fact I simply cant play with my Danish and Swedish mates anymore

Nop ! Postponed ! Though only one of them was planned, the RUBLI vs WO was supposed to happen tomorrow, typo mistake from my part

"Tomorow" being "today" in fact (timezones you know... )

A lot of ports are given back to the Dutch nation without any conditions.

For Lord Vicious and Pellasgos who both seem to have a hard time reading properly, I'll simplify what was said in theses posts. To make things as easy as possible, let us use green for what was said and red for what was NOT said. A decision was made between both our nations to simply stop Port attacks. Both nations also recognised the valor of the Dutch fleet. Neither the Spanish nor the French said anything about "winning" or "beating the dutch". You're welcome.
