    game to hard for noobs i just spent eight frustrating hrs going backwards loosing money and ships now have to start from scratch with crap boats and boring grinding for weeks some of us dont have the time to invest i understand the grind on a free to play game but i paid for this

    My advice is - join a clan and get help. There are lots for new and old learners in the game. All I want is a good wind and bright star to sail by...

    I've reported this with F11 with my friends, but this is so specific, strange, and kinda funny that I decided to start a thread and to describe it precisely.


    Whenever I fire a cannon on my Indefatigable, all of my friends' games are crashing.
    I thought it may have something to do with upgrades i mounted, (copper plating, brake pumps, swing bed and elevating screws)

    When I use any other ship - it is ok
    When I use another indefatigable - everything is ok
    When my friend used "cursed" indefatigable of mine - everything was ok
     

    So it is only me, only on one specific ship. I shoot a cannon, no matter if in mission, in OW npc battle, all of my teammates get a freeze and have to restart game. Random guy that joined our mission got that too. Not sure if it works on enemies, did not test that.
    So, that's it. I was not sure what I could add to that, a video? Some kind of logs of crashed guys? Where can I find it?

    So that was the black spot in my eye everyone was talking about. Nearly took me'ed off. 

     

  3. The PvE server is doing very well and the changes made with the latest numerous upgrades are definate improvements. Too many things to mention BUT one I really appreciate is you managed to keep clans intact. I didn't think it couldn't be done give the scope of the wipe but you pulled it off - way to go.  I'm sure there will be more tweeks along the way but this is a huge start in the right direction; thanks for keeping PvE around I think it will pay big dividends in the future.

    On May 11, 1865 in Palmito Ranch, Texas, Colonel Theodore Barrett elected to send a detachment of United States Colored Infantry and Texas Cavalry under Lieutenant-Colonel David Branson on a raid. Their mission was to attack a Confederate outpost at White Ranch, destroy their supplies and capture their horses. This was in direct violation of a previously established gentleman's agreement between Federal forces and Rebel forces in Texas. In February, the Union and Confederate forces, recognizing the war was nearly at an end, had agreed to an informal ceasefire. Hitherto May 11, this was recognized by both parties. Why Barrett violated this order is a bit of a mystery. His detractors claimed it was because he wished to seize military glory before the war was over, his supporters claimed it was to resupply by the supplies of the enemy. Regardless of the reason, Barrett was about to join the last battle of America's Civil War.

    The movement of Branson's raiding party was delayed until May 12, whereupon the troops at last made their way to the Rebel outpost at White Ranch, only to find it abandoned. the movement, having taken all day and night, exhausted Branson's men. Branson allowed them to rest.

    At 8:30, Branson was alerted to Rebel troops, who had made camp at Palmito Ranch. The Rebels had been alerted to the Federal raid (possibly by Rebels or Imperial Mexicans over the border) and were preparing to counter-attack. Branson decided to meet the rebels directly, and so essayed an attack on Palmito Ranch. Branson's men skirmished to Palmito Ranch and then broke the Rebel lines there. Branson's success was short-lived. A larger Confederate force soon made its way to Palmito Ranch and Branson was compelled to retreat to White's Ranch, where he entreated Barrett for reinforcements.

    Barrett received word from his beleaguered subordinate and immediately took action. Branson gathered the 200 men of the 34th Indiana and moved quickly for Palmito Ranch.

    Barett and the 34th arrived on the morning of May 13, 1865. Like Branson before them, they initially saw success, pushing back the Confederate raiders and finishing the immolation of Rebel supplies begun by Branson the previous day. Having accomplished these goals, Barrett and the 34th began to bivouac. It was then that Confederate Colonel John "Rip" Ford attacked with 200 Confederate Texans. The Federals formed battle lines but, without artillery support, could not hold against Ford's horse artillery. Barrett, recognizing the futility of the Union position, conducted an orderly retreat, keeping up a strong skirmishing line in the process. As the Federals fell back, Union Private John J. Williams was struck and killed. This was his first and only battle. John J. Williams was the last of 750 000 to die in the American Civil War. 100 Union infantrymen were taken prisoner. The Union suffered 12 wounded and 4 captured in addition to their 100 captured men. The Rebels suffered 3 captured and an unsubstantiated number of wounded. No Confederates were recorded as killed.

    Officially, the war had been over for 4 days.

    The final battle of the American Civil War was an unqualified Confederate victory. It was, by any measure, a pointless and meaningless battle.
