Right now storm are more of an obstacle to pvp than anything else. And unfortunately this game has a lot of obstacles against pvp (new tagging circle; new tagging in battle; inexistent RvR).

I couldn't find the topic about "somewhat big battle with shitty results" But here we go, yesterday evening at Baracoa... It wasn't Saturday night fever but the closest we could get for it... We were waiting for the Pirates to come out an fight and they came in number... twice... but ran away twice. Our main problem with this battle was to keep them in the fight as you can see they escaped. So we will have to bring the Buc next time.

We were in a fight yesterday evening Swedish vs Brits and at some point of the battle one of our ship exploded. Most of us were on brace so we were OK. One brit was caught by the explosion and then was sinking and burning slowly I think (please anyone who was there please add your version to get a better picture of what happened). But it seems that a second ship exploded and kill all crew on a ship and that one blew up a little after that. I got killed on the last explosion as I was trying to get the doubloons and repairs out of the killed. Is it something new those explosion in chain from a dead ship (no crew) or is it a bug?

Fake flag/fake nation We should be able to display a fake flag/nationality in open world that would enable us up to twice tagging distance to fool an enemy ship of our intention then if getting closer it will shows his true colors.

maybe coming from someone else will help you understand see below:

you're playing in PVE... this discussion has certainly more to do with PVP server... I don't understand why you still comment on it. Fighting AI fleet can be challenging but the wood change won't make bid difference on your server.

That's what happened when players invest their time and resources to gather the Teak(s) and other useful (s) woods in the game. I know some players who try to sail mostly purple ships with optimum upgrades and woods with the perfect trim (very fast or whatever their meta is) and that takes a lot of time to get. Then people like me don't really care much. Sure I'll complain if I have to face a ship with one of those exotic woods but I'll do my best. But then also I'm not the king of PVP. I can't really comment on PVE server. I'm not there. I only know what PvP players like. The real PVP fighters like speed, an escape wind (in case of gank or fight turning bad) and fire power. I don't even know what will be the availability of the new wood but even if it's rare I know that the best pvp players will have it.

Maybe the impact is greater on PVP server than PVE... That's why people are more on the edge when they realize that their optimum ships are not anymore.

Tonight it has been disconnecting a lot.... The first time it was my router. Then second time I get some rubber band effect with my ship at sea and the game crashes again. Then I check my internet speed and it's good... ` and of course I'm now back in the game just when I post this.

Yeah but.... there were alliances at the time... The French were not alone at Trafalgar vs the Brits... We can see in the game now the predominance of clans over nations. That would make more sens to me to have alliance system, it would give us a more dynamic pvp.

I'm trying to understand the Karma thing... I can initiate any fight against any nation and it doesn't affect my karma But if I join someone else battle I'll change my karma toward the "victim"? And then clean your karma with money? It sounds like the Catholic Church when they were selling Indulgences to sinners... Why not have something simpler: let us see who our enemy is in open water and allow alliance to clans.

I'm not sure this is the best solution. Most of the population is in the PvP server.

that's also good

Yesterday night was good for hunting De Ruyter notes. I got a few more. A lot of activity.

Yesterday night we went back to the event. While the first night was a De Ruyter notes.... yesterday it was a bunch of loki in battle and wooden chest. I came back to port with 4 chest and no notes of De Ruyter. So of course I like the chests but I was excepting what we had the day before. The loki thing was kind of funny. One of my mate was even lucky to get a loki who surrendered immediatly (and then a note).

I have to say that being able to get a note of the ship is great. It's a beautiful ship, can't wait to grind is some before going pvp with it. Thanks!

just wondering... I don't take screenshot of my inventory usually so how should I be compensated if something is not there anymore and I don't have the proof it was there?

Yes we had a taste of it... Yes we all loves it... But it's kind of hard to do anything with the one I have (gray 1 upgrade only). And I would add it's a waste of developing resources if we never see it in the game. If we could get a permit dropping during the event or even a note that would be great.

Ships that need a permit that only drop with missions (etc) wont see any difference in price really since their rarity is in the RNG drop.

Well it's not really about the Trinc... It's about the fact that admin announce something (DLC $40 to $50) then deliver something else (Trinc official price $39.99) -that we can all craft or buy in game for a very low price- and tell us that we can ONLY believe what's in the patch notes. (source: https://forum.game-labs.net/topic/36104-patch-welcome-to-the-caribbean-part-3-improved-rvr-roe-and-new-player-mission/?do=findComment&comment=728033 ) I know the game delivered is way more than what it was at the beginning... We heard that many times... But we also bought multiple DLC to support the game along its development, that what costumers do when they believe in an independent developer. I would really appreciate if a real Community manager/PR person was in charge of communications at Game Labs. Someone who would only tell us what is coming up. And if they are not sure they tell us that too. Right now we go from one miscommunication to another then the reaction from the costumers which is not good for Naval Action or Game Labs. I'm going to sound like a broken record but I have stopped to buy games from the company. And if I have the Redoutable it's only because one of my clanmate gifted it to me.

thanks

I was able to get in the PVE server interesting map... 170 players in right now

En gros ca veut dire que hidden Island et Bermuda seront imprenables?
