Can’t remember a single occasion you @admin have kept to a deadline. Months now waiting for woods to be finalised. Months now there has been people leaving the game due to the unprofessional behaviour, uncertainty of anything in the game. Why bother crafting ships that are going to potentially be useless the next day? Sort it out and fast! In my company or any credible company you would of been sacked years ago. 

Who the hello kitty are you again?

Eh, the joining of already established battles is small dick energy PvP.

Dammit.  You beat me to this.....   If nothing else, it should cut down on the ridiculousness of "battle joining" in a time compressed OW....

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.

Think of it only as an “honorable use of flag” mechanic instead.  It’s easier to wrap your head around.  If you are the one actually making the tag, at least it’s “honorable” and acceptable to gentlemen of the period, even enemies.  If you “join” an already started battle and take on a flag other than your native flag, that is seen as “dishonorable” to gentlemen of the period and your reputation will suffer.

Hello y'all. I've got another question. So I've been reading a lot lately and a fairly frequent struggle (it seems frequent anyway) it seems is lack of powder and shot when training crew. Will we experience this type of thing in game? I would think it would be super cool to be trying to train your crew but due to lack of supplies not being able to train gun crews etc..

So yeah, will we see this kind of problems during crew training?

I see someone's been reading some Patrick O'Brien.....

[Abilene Paradox - Features that you think others like but personally hate]

Magic, must-have super mods and books that allow for Franken-ships.  Having two of the”same” ship where one is 25% better at everything is not my cup of tea.  Too many mods stack and are way too high of a bonus %.  Ship bonuses should be capped at 5-10%.

IMO, periodic breaks are key to having fun in NA....   Burnout is real when you try hard to support the clan day in and day out.  

I'm currently on my yearly NA break and while I dont currently have the urge to play except for maybe a quick sail here and there), it usually will return in a few weeks and I'll start enjoying myself again.

We shall see...

If u want pvp dont play most populated nation, problem solved

I’m glad SOMEBODY finally figured out what this mechanic was all about....

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t most games, especially MMOs, have decay mechanics?   

Hell, even in DayZ, your loot decays steadily and anything you bury is deleted if you don’t use it after like 3 weeks.   

This feature wouldn’t even be a big deal if it were part of a previous patch and we weren’t waiting for PVP raids.

On a side note....  you should ALWAYS have to get within a certain distance to identify an enemy...  just my opinion.

It should only pop up using the spyglass within X distance on the OW.

[[Caribbean] Great battle results.]

hahahaha....  looks to be something like that.  Be careful, its the high powered "assault keyboard" style...

[Russia so bored they try to kill off smaller nations?]

There is nothing truly "scary" in a game.  You either enjoy it, or you don't..  No?

I mean, does anyone REALLY feel fear when playing this game?

Well done, grasshoper.

Them too....  Best to go down fighting rather than cowering like a dog, no?

Besides, its only pixels...  Real life might actually be scary at this point!

[Russia so bored they try to kill off smaller nations?]

Its a war-game....  you either fight, or surrender.   Cheers to the Russians.

Maybe the Loki Rune can be something useful like: 

Purpose:  Gives you the same Upgrades/Bonuses/Books as the person you're fighting.  And vice versa if you have better stuff.
