    Two Major Issue

    in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions

    Posted · Edited by Frost

    Issue Number One. The current ruleset is a paradise for griefers. People can enter your missions, Port battles, and other instanced events and sink the ships your trying to capture, ram you, take ur sails down a bit to help enemy,block you, ect without the fear of turning pirate. Thankfully you are fixing the boarding issue but more times than not someone just sinks the ship.

    For example Excalibur and Sons of Liberty were capturing a 3rd Rate last night and two US Nations ships come in with us. We have 10+ between our Clans and we iniated the combat. We told them repeatedly to stop using ball as we grapes it's crew down. They did not listen. We had to assign ships to body block them. Even with those measure they still got shots off. The ship caught fire and we scattered and let them go hug it and they were blown to shreds when the ship blew up but this type of stuff is an hourly accurence.

    I can't count the number or times per hour I hear on comms or read in chat someone is pissed cause someone came in griefing them.

    All that being said this isn't even the biggest issue with this. The bigger issue is that with the current ruleset the Admins are protecting these griefers. Normally in a game such as this you could just grab your friends and kill the griefers and move on with you day but you can't here. Your just supposed to take it and turn the other cheek.

    If you'd just add a toggle so it can be set to everyone, clan only, group only it would fix everything. Still let enemies come in but give the option of letting us toggle it open if enemies do come in. Also create a high alert area if enemies are in the vicinity so you can't go into missions unless you clear them out which will fix the enemies diving into missions to escape. Add in as well the ability to turn off getting pulled into pve instances only. There you go all the instanced issues are now fixed.

    The second issue is the servers. It's bad enough the player population is as split as it is. Brits, pirates, and us nations on both PVP servers have a decent amount but the other nations might as well not even be there. This has got to change with such a small population that this game has.

    Coming up with a better hardware platform or a software solution needs to be a huge priority unless the games population explodes.

    People are using current mechanics to grief others without any recourse, this can never be condoned nor dismissed, it is a situation that should take the highest priority, yet here it is being allowed to drag on. The current situation is unacceptable, and under the games rules, it is only the developers that can change it, and if they dont, they will lose players.

    This. Admins this is the general feeling across multiple Clans and nation chats. People are getting sick and tired of the current ruleset protecting griefers. It would be a bad day indeed if NA gets known for a griefers paradise supported by Dev rules.

    Upcoming patches this week.

    Is there any truth to a impending server wipe? I am being told 3-4 days ago in a stream that the Devs said they were planning to wipe the server because of a couple exploits, they wanted to change how the map worked, and they were going to change pirates so they could only raid and give them a certain amount of uncapturable ports. Is there any truth to this rumor?

     

    edit - Before a lot of people post, yes I am aware the Devs said before EA no more wipes. Tons of people are saying they said this a couple days ago on a stream so this is more recent than that and things do change.

     

    Also its also being said that several pirate clans found a exploit where they could create a Buy Order for Rudders for 1.2m gold each. They then could sell Rudders to buy orders and even thought he character didnt have the money it would complete thus creating 100s of millions out of thin air. I am told this was hotpatched out of the game which is good. I am also told you reduced the pirates gold to 5m. 5m is still a lot when starting out. Your average player doesn't have 5m right now only advanced or experienced players. Will you come up with better ways to fix/repair exploits when they happen? It is my understanding a ton of pirates are at 5m gold right now.

    Run Client without Steam

    Is there a way to run Naval Action without Steam running?

    If not will there be one in the future.

    Couple reasons.

    I have a friend who would pay but refuses to uses steam or origin or any such platform for reasons.

    Id also like to be able to play on PBS that I am on throughout the month without needing to install Steam. This is more a want and not a need.

    Thanks
