    Never received Christmas redeemables

    in Support

    Posted

    I logged into NA between Christmas and New Year and saw no redeemables. By chance glanced at the news today and I guess we were all supposed to get a Christian and Yedinorogs and Kirimati Masts? What's up with this? Or are these only exclusive to PvP server?

    Ship Exp as DLC

    in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions

    Posted

    At the risk of sounding like an uncool enabler of bad practices: I would buy anything that lets me shortcut the grind as long as it is reasonably priced. I am a (perpetually) single man with a fairly decent income, and I value my time and my enjoyment more than my money.

    I wouldn't stand for being ripped off (example: Shark Cards in GTA Online - fine in concept, but the amount of GTA$ you get for your dollar is nowhere near enough); but I will gladly toss the developers a couple bucks here and there if it saves me from having to do the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

    And if the whole game consists basically of doing the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN then we have a whole 'nother problem...

    Will there be an OW model quality pass?

    in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions

    Posted

    IMO the OW models of ships, not all but a vast majority of them, should have a quality pass done. We spend a decent amount of time sailing around the world, and model defects can be jarring. The most glaring ones that I can think of is the ship's behavior with respect to water (some ships look like they are constantly swamped, like Niagara; others like Constitution have water clipping through the hold); still others just have waves constantly washing over open gun ports (for example Indefatigable). Another good thing would be animated gun ports: close them while sailing and open them when attacking something or entering a mission.

    I know it's not exactly an "immediate" priority, but it would be a good thing to polish along with the interface. With the weather and day/night cycle, the game can be VERY atmospheric; it would be good if the OW ship models were closer in appearance and behavior to the in-battle ones.

    (PvE) What is an interesting place to sail to in the OW?

    in Tavern

    Posted

    I'm tired of training ships for now, and RNG crafting sucks, so I thought I'd do something different.

    I want to take my Constitution and sail it somewhere, and maybe pick a few fights with bots along the way. Pretend like I'm a privateer on a mission to harass the dastardly enemies of the USA. It's something that I want to do over the course of a few days. The objective is to go somewhere I've not gone before, preferably somewhere nice looking and unique.

    I know the islands around Cuba are pretty, but most of them are shallow water so I can't get there in a Connie. Where else could I sail that's worth seeing?

    Drop-only Books in Admiralty on PvE Server

    in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions

    English translation follows.

    Уважаемые авторы и разработчики игры!

    Выношу на ваш суд просьбу от капитанов на сервере PvE Only. (Кстати, огромное спасибо вам от всех нас за то, что вы по-прежнему оберегаете и не обходите вниманием нашу тихую гавань). Не сочли бы вы возможным добавить книги навыков, которые сейчас доступны только как боевая добыча (например, Notes on the Best Rudder Angles, Means of Directing the Fire), в магазин Адмиралтейства? Хотя бы и по большим ценам (1000+ combat marks).

    Так как на сервере PvE Only конкуренция между игроками и нациями отсутствует как таковая, на общий баланс это повлиять вроде-бы не должно. С другой стороны это даст нам еще одну игровую цель,  не зависящую на сто процентов от случайности. И так же, если мы заметим какие-то проблемы с этими книгами или с теми улучшениями которые из них делаются, с энтузиазмом нажмем F11 и поведаем вам (чем черт не шутит - может быть найдем что-то, проскользнувшее мимо зорких глаз игроков PvP).

    Надеюсь на положительный отклик. Спасибо.

    English translation:

    Dear developers,

    I would like to bring to your attention a suggestion from the captains on the PvE Only server. (By the way, thank you for preserving and taking care of our quiet harbor). Would you consider adding skill books that are currently only available as enemy loot to the Admiralty store? Even at excessive prices (1000+ combat marks).

    Since player and nation competition on the PvE Only server does not exist, this should not, in theory, impact the overall balance of things. On the other hand, it will give us (PvE captains) another goal in the game that is not 100% RNG-driven. Also, if we notice any issues with these books or upgrades from which they are crafted - we promise to enthusiastically press F11 and tell you about it (who knows, perhaps we'll find something that slipped past the eagle eyes of the PvP players).

    With hopes for a favorable consideration, thank you.

    Santisima or L'Ocean for PvE?

    in Feature proposals and Gameplay Help Q&A

    Posted

    So I have a Victory, but also enough materials piled up to build either of those. Can't do both though. People sailing Oceans have been complaining since the last patch that the ship has taken several nerfs and in fact maneuvers worse than the Santi. I guess it's supposed to be somewhat tankier though?

    Anyway, I can't decide. I had a Santi pre-wipe, but it wasn't an optimal build and I didn't really like it. Any advice?
