It has been 4 days, ANYTHING? @Ink I see you respond to these posts rapidly, at least in the past, am I to take this to mean just suck it up and deal with it?

It has been 48 hours, an answer, acknowledgement, something? I'm only bumping this to prevent it from dropping off the first page.

Several people including me were doing a hostility mission for Tulum. After being kicked out the first time my ship was sitting in OW after server was back up fully repaired, no hostility was generated. I entered a hostility mission again and this time in the heat of the battle I lost control of my ship and the game kicked me out again as the server was shut down AGAIN. By this point I had to go to doctor's appointments. I just returned home and logged back into game, in port, no ship, with a kind letter from the admiralty. I had a WO/WO Wasa, fully gunned with longs and carros, cartegena caulking, british refit, and british gunners. It was very cramped but to be honest blue 3 slot. Built by me in Truxillo with Hull4 Crew4 Gunnery4. Thank you in advance.

This information would be good to advertise, might give pause to the roving gangs of trincs that tag trader brigs over and over to sink their escaped fleet ships ad absurdum.

Bwa bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The only thing I can think of is to mouse click on the screen, or hit enter again. This is what I do to toggle from chat to control.

Application for BF clan is still pending, this is his training.

There was an active thread just a few days ago with people being linked, no dev or mod ever commented. I am guessing "certain people" achieved max craft rank off rum and the feature magically became a bug and was turned off. Only way to increase craft xp is through ships ATM, hope it gets fixed but repeated history makes me pessimistic.

It is really a shame that people can't play the game without resorting to underhanded exploiting behaviour to use alts for the sole intention of ruining the game for others.

Its just a birthday mate. The only thing that matters is the play the game and have fun. If you were Alpha pre Steam EA you still have your yacht.

Merril, Because of time invested versus past assurances by developers. A large number of people stuck around believing the developers statements they would retain their hard earned XP, rank, ship slot XP and learned books. Then some were taken away several months ago, and the rest were taken last week. I personally was fine starting over rank and XP, losing ship slot XP and book knowledge stung a bit more, given that clanmates and I have gone to great lengths to obtain books, spending countless hours doing so only to have it wiped away. In the end we start over, that's the way it is, people group up and work together. Real life? ok, here is an analogy for you. You work a full time job for several years with the assurances you keep your benefits, pension and nice office that you have earned. Then you and everyone else is back in tiny cubicles (basic cutters)... "Ok, time to regrind back into my old office" Then it is announced benefits (ship slot XP) are cancelled and your pension amount (learned book knowledge) is reset and you start over at -0- At this point IRL bad press, protests, and ultimately, legal action takes place ie: class action lawsuits. This isn't real life, but for many that are retired or disabled this IS a big part of their life. The last total wipe happened before book knowledge grind, ship slot grind, 1 dura ships etc, This wipe hurts a lot more for a large amount of players. THESE ARE THE REASONS PEOPLE ARE ANGRY, STOP ATTACKING THEM FOR THIS, THEY ARE LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS. This sort of behaviour would have serious repercussions IRL, similar in spirit to the repercussions the developers are experiencing. I love this game, and want it to flourish, but the repeated decisions based on "hardcore badasses" and "trusted friends" input have taken this game far from the unfinished diamond in the rough it once was, to an unfinished "pander to the few at the expense of the many" not ready for prime time mess.

Just give two impossible nations a capital in the gulf and one down south of Guayguayare, or in other areas. Then remove ability to run hostility out of freetowns. Frontlines will never work as intended because there are too many nations, and too many ways to bypass frontlines.

THE MONEY TO CREATE A CLAN CAN BE MADE IN A BLOODY HOUR BY A FEW PEOPLE WITH DELIVERY MISSIONS! OK, I get it, people don't want to lose their BETA clan name and so we are left with 1000s of defunct names that are unavailable to use at the official start of the game. But I beg you, MAKE THE LIST ALPHABETICAL ORDER. Playing scavenger hunt for 20 minutes to add a clan to friendly list is beyond ridiculous and aggravating.

For the love of all sanity, the Clan list MUST BE WIPED, GB has a clan list with so many dead clans it is ponderous, the list is not even alphabetically sorted, GB can't be the only nation with is problem. Please don't leave us with this mess to continue to trudge through, make a character and test for yourself the nightmare that is the clan list. Thank you

Make sure the passengers are on your boat! Nothing worse than taking mission, switching boats and making that sail only to realise the patients are still sitting in another boat back where you started.

Soooo... (Que carnival music) Nation A flips a county capital (n) of nation X in one part of the map. ~meanwhile~ Nation B (allied with nation A) flips another county capital (o) of nation X in another part of the map a short time after A flipped Xn. Then nation X has to choose what port to fully defend, and they choose (o). Nation A ~should~ be able to insta take port Xn so they can then teleport over and help screen their allies into to Xo. thereby If A=20, B=20 and X=30 Xn=1 Xo=29 A>Xn so instant win for A Then can be A+B>Xo YOU ARE MAKING A THREAD ASKING FOR DEVS TO CHANGE PORT BATTLE MECHANICS TO FURTHER ENABLE MULTIFLIPS BY THE TWO STONGEST RVR FLEETS IN THAT TIME ZONE (WHICH ARE ALLIES). The thread title is an ironic joke, you are not asking for mercy, you are asking for assistance to be able to make multiflips easier. That has to be a hard NO.

Maybe they will dock his twitch payment 10% this week

Inside the game, usually the first few days after a map reset. Yellow dots EVERYWHERE

PB Nassau, Russians came out in force. This is one of the screening battles: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1706384018

Yeah, I bought the game in August 2015 from Game Labs and no Pandora either, while my alt was bought in like June 2016 and does have it. That may be the issue.

When considering putting money in the next SHIP OF T... boat.

I am also wondering if the sailing xp will be used for something in the future, or just scrapped altogether. I would think sailing XP be available for level 1-4 captains, to help give them a slight bump in grinding slots on ships at least.

On the PVE server SOL can be capped from AI, losing one is not devastating. I played on PVE once and started with basic cutter and capped my way up to a 1st rate, intentionally NEVER buying a ship, it was challenging and fun. Having mock port battles with AI that equals BR for the port sounds like it would be very popular, when coupled with Sir Texas' suggestion to reset map every 3 months.

Want to confirm this as well, I have a few scattered around.

@admin I have almost 8K hours in game, been here since right after OW was released in 2015, just a two points: 1. Keeping book knowledge is good, would really prefer to keep ship knowledge slots because the tedious grind is a real turnoff. 2. Please when the final wipe happens, wipe the clans, warehouses etc. Just the GB clan list alone has HUNDREDS of defunct clans littering the list that can take AGES to scroll through to add a friendly clan, its not even in alphabetical order, WIPE IT CLEAN. With that, I am looking forward to having the Pandora sit next to my Yacht in my redeemable slot for when I need it.
