Dev's had said many of the other (none common) can be gained through the admariality shop and other means. Didn't ya'll have the PvE missions to do? There was a small chance that those ship chest dropped BP instead of the ship note. They will prob have some ships int he shops to get with PvE or PvP marks. You can trade PvE/PvP marks in to get trade notes for ships BP or something like that. So you will have the same chance to get the same BP's as every one else. Just less on the part you don't have PvP or RvR on your server which is just another means to gain them. He's talking about the level you have to be in crafting to craft the ship. Like right now it's level 45 to be able to use the 1st rate BP's, but 49 for the exceptional. So on the new system will it be at level 45 you learn to craft 1st rates, or was it moved some where in the middle. I would think a Vict could be learned before a Santi cause it's a smaller SOL. Though I would more just say why don't folks just wait for the testbed patch to hit and go check it out. To much data for ya'll to be answering for every ship. Though it would be nice to know if any ships where added to the common BP's learned the old RNG way to get them but now through crafting level gain automatic. Will Gunboat, H. Rattler, Aggy, l'Ocean be added to this list or will they be only shop/chest and drops. What ships are Dev only ships (I assume the SC for sure). Will the Wappen be able to craft or is it one of the Dev only gifts. What about the Indy and Endy are they looking to be added to the craft-able ships any time soon? If you want to craft all the common ships folks I would say get your crafting to level 50 before the patch, simple solution to the problem.

It would be nice if you can get a few more special brigades like the "Iron Brigade." and the one cav unit you can get. Maybe them historic leaders/units of that battle you can get and keep. I normally have my own theme for each unit and corps, but would be nice if we got special ones to fill the rank every other major battles.

Dutch math, some times I wish I could use Dutch math in the real world.

It never failed I craft a ship for some one else and I get a 3/5. I craft one for myself and I get a 2/4.

Clans are tied to the leader so if every thing is wiped so is the clan stuff. You will have to form a new clan when you get back on your respective servers. This is a good way to clean house for some clans any way.

NO you need a few more so folks can fight over and they shouldn't be close to the capital for the most part. We don't every thing crafted at the capital cause than traders will never get out and about for the PvP guys to hunt. We just need more than one or two means to get things. Key resources like this should never have been locked down to one or two ports.

Yah I don't think 6-8 regions would be good, just 2-3 more would would help out a lot. Still now sure about Cedar though. Than again I think that might be something some smart traders will haul to a lot of the free ports and make a killing off of.

Your going to loose every thing in the wipe any way. Though I would be honest I think since they are doing this 5 min timer thing they should break all alliances until the patch and turn it off to let every one fight every one and just burn through ships and mates over the next three weeks.

Easter is Sunday the 16 right? Think both eastern and western fall on the same day this year. So what does that have to do with a patch that is planed to drop on the 19&20th which is Wed and Thursday? For the majority of the world we would be back at work and our normal life that week. I'll add Jewish Passover is the 11 of April so that is before hand too though about when we should be expecting the patch on testbed unless we get it sooner than the by the 10th promise.

That cause it's part of the game, you pick your fights when your can do the most damage. You don't ask, "Hay Christendom I hear your having noon tea so we are going to wait until three o'clock to attack your port." No I attack him while he has his feet up and kicked back having his tea and relaxing for a nice lunch. Than he says screw that nasty Pirate. I'll get you back and he calls his boys and they attack us while we are all at church Wednesday night (code name for the strip club). Than we go screw him we will get our port back while they are having dinner with their family. Point is we just keep fighting back and forth and some time it's not during one of our prime times, that is war. ***DISCLAIMER*** Oh this story above is made up. I have no plan to attack any one during their noon tea and I'm not saying Christendom has noon tea either and I can not confirm or not that I go to "CHURCH" on Wed nights, but I'm pretty sure I show up on the 2 dollar Tuesdays. ***DISCLAIMER*** PS I'm a pirate never trust anything I say.....

Yah they where talking to much about the RvR side and forget abut the PvP and trader hunters. Your PvPers are going to be your RvR back bones for the most part. If you make all resources say around the capital than there will not be traders for folks to hunt and folks won't be on the OW to fight and you loose PvP and you loose the PvP players.

I was secretly just waiting for a big giant brawl to break out, but than I'm a pirate and we feed off such chaotic fun.

At this time and until further notice it should be about the 19th/20th of April (this month) so I would get on line and get things sorted before than. That and you need to pop in more any way we miss you.

I wouldn't give up on those small nations so quickly. Many of the players that aren't part of big clans and such will fill some of those slots when needed. I think folks where thinking to much on the RvR point and not on the nation as a whole. Each nation have what we pirates call our Mort Rats. Clan-less and small clan pirates that tend to stick around Mort area but they do show up to port battles and help fill up the extra slots. That and we have won many a battles still out number so saying you can't win if you can't field a full team is a bit of BS. Yes big number difference odds are against you, but if your short one or two players it's not a death sentence. Not to mention those that showed only are a very small percentage of the actually player base and we might find out with the larger numbers of the merged servers and better ping for some. Some players in certain time zones that are traditionally lacking players might have more than we think in each nation. Though by the numbers I do think Spain is pretty much screwed, but that doesn't mean we should push them to one port just cause they might not have the players. We should leave room for a nation to grow if they do get more player returning later. Though over all I think it was a good meeting for starts and we will have more info the next one. It's a good direction for the server to have a few meetings like this when new patches and changes come out.

and there was very little argument as we all had a common goal and was more info comes out we will have another meeting to work more things out. Even if it's only a small part of the population it helps get things better organized and balanced. I think we all know US and GB is going to be largest, we just need to make sure the other nations aren't forgotten and that there isn't any more mega alliances. With those things I'm happy.

Though as per wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_oak The name live oak comes from the fact that evergreen oaks remain green and "live" throughout winter, when other oaks are dormant and leafless. The name is used mainly in North America, where evergreen oaks are widespread in warmer areas along the Atlantic coast from southeast Virginia to Florida, west along the Gulf Coast to Louisiana and Mexico, and across the southwest to California and southwest Oregon. I would say put in at least one in Florida Occidental (lineship) regional speed bonus or Apalache (shallow) no regional bonus Nuevo Santandor (4th rate) Regional Strong Rig Bonus. That is three more ports to think of adding it for a total of 5. This will give more reason for folks to fight over the Gulf of Mexico. Eve if you just add two (I would say Forida Occidental and Nuevo Santandor that would be two more than we have more and they would be more spread out. That will give you 4 area. With 8 nations than that means you have only 4 nations in control so some one will be fighting over one or two of them most the time or just trading with another nation to get it.

There I fixed that for you....don't put us with the big boys...lol

No I expect you to be rich and make the good ship so I can steal it. I'm a pirate after all. But back on topic I think 6 ports for the live oak or even add just two more for 4 that are spread out along the east US coast and Gulf of Mexico coast where Live Oak was actually found and still is growing.

You forget, we capture ships...lol But they still won't be as good as one built by yourself. Though RvR is not all of the game.

That is why 6 ports.....that way not every one has one, but you have a reason to fight over them.

I think 6 would be a good magic number. Shouldn't be enough for every one to have one, but enough for folks need to fight over them. Much like how Mahogany is. I think there is about 6 ports of that too. Though what about only one Cedar port? Brit has the only one.

I think he could be speaking of PvP2's BLACK pirate clan alliance with CCCP/CN of the Danes. We had a long standing alliance with them since almost a year ago where we help each other out since we keep regions/ports at each others backs. Our clans will prob keep this alliance going after the patch/mergers. They are almost all SEA players though so they have very odd times compared to the rest of the PvP2 players.

To be honest I'm glad this game is SP or has a good play of it being so. I'm so sick of games that are made only to be MP and online. I travel for work a lot and many times bad internet and just want to chill and play a game. Hell most of the RPG's all are online based now or you can't play the content. This game was nice as something I can play a few fights and put it down and than come back later. I have gone through both sides each time a new patch comes out and each time the fights and runs up to the last battle have been a different experience. I'm willing to wait for a good update on a game like this so doesn't bother me it takes a bit longer than normal.

I remember there was a hint or mention of it being worked on and maybe in the next ships to come. I been wondering if it will show up any time soon. Basically a privateer with bow chasers. It will be a traders worse night mare in the shallows.

I know it updated recently so seems they are still working on it, but your prob talking about "Stationeers" or what ever his new game is going to be. It was a cool concept but I think they just was to small of a team to get it out and sooner or later others came up with games of the same concept as DayZ but got more content out faster as there is about a half dozen other games like it out now. Though they are a bit crappy from what I seen, but hay I spent like 20 bucks on that game so it wasn't much of a lost if it tanks eventually. That the way I see most EA games I have bought is that they been cheap enough that even if I got a good bit of hours into them I got my money worth.
