  1. Loot stealing mechanism:

    when a captain steels loot from another captain in battle.

    the  captain becomes a suspected pirate captain and flagged ( orange color  )  as well ..

    and can be shot to sink  as well ...(if unknown to battle members >> ..the choice is to the members in the battle game)

     

    so no green on green >>> but a suspected captain who is loot stealing.

    also a sophisticated manner to overcome loot stealers in battle and deal with it.

     

    right mouse button>>> on orange  ship >>  to grand loot to the captain

  2. Hire a boatswain

    speed up>> upgrade the knowledge slots of a vessel.

    2 versions :

    1. dlc /// 

     2.  + or upgrade knowledge item. ( buyable in shop for vm or cm or reaals)

    both items are market tradeable

    ----------------------------------------------

    A item where speed of  knowledge  skill slot for a vessel is boosted

    ---------------------------------------------

    as upgrade:  nautic college skill book

    as  DLC:   Marine book : Hire a boatswain

     

    both items are the same and give the same points.

    what gives 4000 slot upgrade point to knowledge  (large book) 3/2/1/ rate 

    what gives 2000 slot upgrade points medium book to knowledge 5/ 4 rate (frigates)

    what gives 750 slot upgrade points small book knowledge 7/6/ rate size 

     

    duration:  useable 1 every hour . and 1 book at the time.

    low pricing ±1 dollar  a piece: >>>  in packages of 5/10/15/25. 

     

    Every game has his needle ;): ps i find it weird that in a DLC thread,... post are voted down ,but thats just me i guess.

    i see very good suggestion voted down by?? ......HATERS...???... or Dumb running powder monkeys with ammo!

    We did not see positive spike in reviews after we added Implacable as crafted and tested De Ruyter in event. We consider that nobody cared for crafted ships anymore. Perhaps those who care about new ships did not update the reviews should do so if they are interested in de Ruyter as crafteable. If they stay silent they give the reviews to be ruled by vocal haters who just circle jerk each other. Positive reviews always get less likes, while haters group up always favoriting negative sentiment. 

    As this is business and teams shift to popular projects from unpopular projects NA team gets developers based on the reviews. To plan ahead I need to see how much resources i will have available and will have to consider hiding some content behind events. Here is how it works : Higher reviews - more developers, lower reviews - less developers (including dutch ship creators). So dutch players can make an effort to encourage artists by actually 1) saying thank you in reviews or 2) saying they are pissed off in reviews.

    We have not said that it is not going to be crafteable. But we will keep it for future occasions. Right now there is no point to add it as it seems nobody wants it. If players wanted it they would appreciate it in reviews.

    Feedback on a not (in)game related issue!

    Hummm.... why are dutch (and the ship) the victim here?

    the real dutch are different (they mostly do not answer heaters and others, they have a direct approach - positive or negative in approach , their brain works different.)

    they are a other cultural  breath, and  not compatible with culturally others (liberal and freedom , are keywords)

    they are 90 % builders and not destructive (perhaps a mechanic approach on that niche would be great)

    dutch are just waiting ......nothing more... for the moment..(besides that dutch are a minority on the total population (i think so not much to review also)

    perhaps a ship like the  common 3 rate (parameter rebuild) as a giveaway (event ship)is your answer perhaps ? :))

     

    for you  being a developer i understand your issue and yes you are right on the matter.

    but forcing people to review something what is not delivered in game >  is counter productive for many (for those who are living in freedom of speech and thinking. although giving something in return is always advisable on forehand . :)

    ps. i do not own a Admiral>> but if i did i would guard it with 24 santismo s :))

    And thank you for the Admiral delivered in the month of his birth  (much appreciated )

    Flag:  Westfriesland

    The riddle of the five blocks
    During the West Frisian Day 2008, Ina Broekhuizen-Slot received a West Frisian flag from Hoorn's mayor, Onno van Veldhuizen. In recent months it has been investigated whether this flag is the real West Frisian flag. Advice from flag experts was sought.
    This research shows that the flag with the azure blue background and the two prominent lions plus five cubes in gold can be considered the real West Frisian flag. This flag reflects the old Frisian coat of arms, which was already used in the Middle Ages. That weapon appears in the Dutch Chronicle (1405-1409), recorded by Heraut Gelre. On that weapon are two prominent lions surrounded by white tokens. West Friesland has maintained this weapon, only the white blocks (tokens) became silver. The number was later reduced to five and the cubes, like the lions, turned golden. The flag is a reflection of the coat of arms on the shield.

    It's no bug, as there is no primetime in this worldwide played game. From what I understand 24% is Chinese and this might be their primetime. 

    So calling it biased is just from your perspective being in a CET timeframe. Which is in that case biased, not the porttimer. After maintenance timer will change. Every day timers for neutral ports change. So eventually it will be in a timeframe for players in Europe.

     

    Europe is not the world, VP is not a nation just played by Dutch. Also Dutch will not have a priveleged status within VP cause of their birthright. It's a MMO worldwide played.

     

    Veel succes Thonys

    thx. C E d O

    well at least i must try 

     for my nation interest . :)

    i still believe that random timer should go.(its a restriction in a tactical hazardous world)

     

  6. i find it so strange for a neutral port for all nations 

    that they have a night timer for particular nations? after a day and maintenance

    is this a bug ? ([ confusing ]port battle window)

    dcb9d8f7dfaf0d71244642c169962f85.png confusing windows here

    here is a pb at 22.47  ? for example 

     

    it seems to me if a port is neutral it is neutral for every nation( ask for  No timers for neutrals)

    so holding a timer is not a very neutral way off neutrality ....

    is this a fixed bug or is this as intended or not a bug

    if it is not a bug

    i call it a biased cheat(.it seems i live in another world :) so ......close game for today i guess. (not much to do)

    Feel certain the Russians will react swiftly once they realise the Dutch being used in a proxy war against them shortly. Sources indicate new Dutch want to attack the Russians while the old Dutch have been enjoying a relative peace with the Red Peril

     

    Inconceivable that this will end well for the real Dutch either way

    No there are the hardcore RvR players, and us the casuals, sheps to be slaughtered getting a Pb from time to time.

    The Forger did more harm than good i see...(i said it from the beginning)

    but the redoubtable is (not) the answer to that ..? 

     

    the reason for this issue has begone from the start, when the forger came in, ...and imbalanced the game for/ in the long run, up to a height... it is beyond repair..

    and now rvr is the victim of it ...

    i just don't know how to repair this in a short notice. that is up to the dev.

    perhaps ....throw crafting out the window....?

  9. Proclamation due to defection. (to all it concerns)

    Willemstad, 30 February - The hunt for the two defectors of England continues uninterrupted. After a long pause, the legal battle for the duo's seats resumes. gwc is supported by other opposition parties and is committed to fighting the two. "The sense of justice of the rank and file, our sense of justice, must be satisfied," says the State Secretary

    The position is that the two have betrayed the party by moving over to the foreign coalition. According to the law on the right of recall, such cases may be punished. “The party started with legal means and we will fight to the end. The point is that the defectors, who voted for these two members, "must have a sense of satisfaction," the state secretary said to Willemstad Gazette.

    The Court of Justice will shortly consider the appeal of the defectors. It is a judgment with which defectors are put in the right. Previously the two managed to get off the dance, because several lawsuits ended in one or the other in their favor. For gwc, the two are no longer members of the sea council.
    if they want to come back to the nation then they will have to pay for it the amount is set on 50k reals to meet the GWC that it will use to provide the dutch flag and to re-register these captains in the maritime administration
    Paying to a mediating party such as a detestable forger dlc is unilateral and unsatisfactory, the state secretary says a similar fine will have to be paid to the rightful patent holder.

    I just started playing again two days ago. I have not leveled up and was sailing in my basic cutter. I was attacked by ten enemy players. I was able to run away for over two minutes and not be hit but the game never let me escape from the battle. I ran so far I got out of the battle circle and after another five minutes I sunk and was able to respawn. Why was I not able to escape the battle within the circle? And I thought as a new player I could not be “yanked” at such a low level. 

    you where in the partol zone (check map for the zone)

    and have in the partole zone the circle of death (green P zone indicator at the right bottom of screen) outside the circle you sink. 

    also some ships have the "control perk: (you can not leave with a timer)

    or can take you in the control distance (ships with no front chasers for example)

    also low level ships can do pvp

    . you are not invulnerable

    Is there a way to see the difference between a basic cutter & a regular cutter ?  

    Basic cutter you can buy for free in the shop 

    a regular cutter you make that one  in the shipyard

    both are  cutters

  14. Illegal trade.

    (reducing alt behaviour)

    Perhaps it is an option to introduce illegal trade in the game
    for example :

    A Dutch port is owned by a certain Dutch clan
    but a Spanish alto player who makes an alt in Dutch nationality
    has free access to that port.

    But this player is not in the list of friends

    Is this illegal trade now?
    when leaving the port with port goods) this is then contraband

    Can the player be confiscated his trade?
    is this player flagged with contraband?

    Could this player not be tagged and surrender his things? to the legitimate government?

    Options to think about.
    The pros and cons.

    . This promotes the prevention of alt accounts that have nothing to do in the national interest of a nation.

    .It promotes the prevention of the theft of trading goods that would be destined for friends of the port.
    but by alt account at tower high prices can be bought.

    Countering inflation.

    . Promoting registration with established clans.

    .The usefulness of having a port in the first place.

    .Balancing trade in your own nation.

    . First step towards a clan-depleted alliance with other friendly clans at trade level.

    .he can drop any goods he has onboard (to bring in the port as a trader ) but not buy trade without being flagged with contraband for being a not listed trader.

    AGAINST:
    .the freedom of trade.

    But yes .. we play a game with certain rules, which also concern the trade.
    Sometimes you do need permission (just look at building ships)

    what do you all think about the subject;?

    hi

    i do know it has some concerns ,.... but i am not against it .

    perhaps as a option in the settings for those who do not want communication ?

    what i can remember was when it was removed from the game i experienced it as a restriction ...

    so in my concern the old situation can come back ,i see no problem (especially perhaps  when the new moderation comes in place)

    greetings
