  1. Le commerce de Marseille - what a beautiful name

    By the way.. What is the best known and most famous french ship? Like British Victory or US Constitution or spanish galeons.

    The one that says France - just by looking at it. (1680-1820 period preferred)

    May I suggest the ship 'La Couronne'? She was laid on 1632 and got scrapped in 1645.

    I know that it is an early ship but she was very advanced for the time, that could count as a later era ship no?

    In my opinion this is THE ship that screams la France! It has a french design and fleurs as decoration, the French symbol. Like other people said, most french ships were captured by the british, so people regard those ships as truly british ships.

    This is not the case of La Couronne.

    As it is tough to find another ship, you could give her a chance to shine.

  2. Thanks for bringing up a thread regarding the current match system, afterall, the game only packs match plays anyways. Not an open world or how to connect both systems.

    I would absolutely love customizable fleets and the size of battle. Like Brigand said, not predefined numbers, such as 2v2 or 20v20, but something of the sort of Empire Total Wars. You can compose any fleet you wish, be it a line of 1st rates or schooners, or a mix. As long as the weight of broadsides or something else, is fair, like Brigand suggested.

    It would be hell of a fun race if there was a raging storm, trying to render us obsolete, but we would try to push forward as hard as possible, using the manual skipper to extract the best from the ship!

    Or a ship of the line battle during a storm, that does the trick aswell! Basically, anything that packs storms :P

    Please, don't make it boring like Potbs skirmish system.

  3. It's al right CJFlint :P

     

    I have learned what to do and what not to do in DayZ, my current character has been alive for a week already, travelled from Berezino to NEAF, took a stroll around Novy Sobor and the circling cities.

     

    Right now I'm at the coast again, in Elektro, to help bambis survive. Already had some good experiences :P including running for my life from a jealous noob that wanted my mosin, the guy knew how to zigzag so I couldn't shoot him with a Magnum xD dropped some food and water onto the ground and the pursuer stopped to take the food, like dogs around a slab of meat!

     

    One thing that I don't understand is the fact that it is so hard to make other people excited about DayZ, despite it being so fun. I guess a person has to try the game out to see how awesome DayZ is...

     

    See you around!

  4. Wow, that was a quick reply!

    That is great to know! I can't wait to get one and try it on Naval Action!

    I'm sure I will be ok, I went fishing on the high seas, in a small motorized boat, near Ericeira, a portuguese coastal port.

    Everybody was puking the hell out of them, while I drunk my beer and fished some big bad boys (not bragging :P).

  5. Hello!

    I was wondering about how to take game immersion to the next level. There is a device called Oculus Rift, which is a visual headset that basically, places the player inside the game! No amount of monitors can offer the in-depth imersion that the OR offers.

    How cool would be it, to sit at the helm, watching the ship crash against the waves of a huge stormy sea?!

    There are some games out there that already support the OR device. War Thunder is one of them.

    Right now, there is only a dev kit, which is rare, buggy, has low resolution and it is incredibly expensive, although, once they become mainstream, the upcoming games will definitely embrace the technology. I think that Naval Action should have OR support, to stand out of any other sailing game.

    It already has some pretty stunning graphics!

    Here is the official Oculus Rift website link, for those who want to know more about it :)

    Have a good day!

  6. Eheh yeah, players can be really nasty indeed!

     

    I found Chernarus Map and that allows me to travel to anywhere I want, although  a compass would still do wonders, as I could cross directly to my destination instead of following the roads.

     

    I took a break from DayZ, I met with a guy on steam and we met in-game, we played for some hours, got some nice guns and ammo, a hunter backpack and lots of food. It was a great time, until I was standing near him when he shot me. Apparently he alt tabbed back into the game and the gun auto shot. 

     

    Even mistakes are deadly to the players :P

     

    I have added you :)

  7. Ahahahah yeah, the random stuff that other people say! :P

     

    Today I got handcuffed in berezino, 2 dudes with black troop hat handcuffed me, put a blue officer hat on my head and let a zombie eat me away, for them to kill it before it was too late. Then they started putting my blood in bloodbags!!!

     

    All this and they still had to say something weird xD I think they had some sort of software to change their voices, they were too monotonous and very deep.

     

    About the character resets, I think you can do something about it. Be careful of the hives, choose public.

     

    - Let the server list load, don't rush;

    - Connect to a server, DO NOT touch your mouse or keyboard, if the game loads your custom character, play normally. If you spawn on the coast, DO NOT touch any other key besides the ESC. Don't move the mouse either. Leave the server and join another.

    -If this keeps happening in every server you can try, your character has probably been wiped officially.

     

    That's it.

     

    The DayZ TV sounds interesting, I'll check it out!

     

    What's your steam ID, so we can play together! :)

  8. Arma II engine is used for training sims? That's pretty awesome, the game has a proximity voice system, hand gestures and realistic weapon handling, those features are only found on this engine.

    The character reset really sucks, I had a mosin nagant, a hand gun and quite a lot of ammo... Not to mention the cool face mask...

    Because of it I respawned along the coast, two towns away from electrovsk. Had to run it twice, since I died from bleeding at the first trial. The second time I got to electro, I had the scare of my DayZ life. I had dropped the lantern and I couldn't find it! (It is a very dark night).

    Then I managed to find a shotgun, some ammo and the best of it all, a head lantern!

    Yes, the new patch has been rolled in, it added a shotgun, I found one in elektro, those sacks that hold seeds can now be placed on your head, tried that too. I'm not sure about the berries, I haven't searched for them yet. Many new drinks were also added.

    Eventually hunting will be implimented, when the crafting system is a little bit better and the server optimized to handle a lot more zombies and animals.

    The latest patch brought many server optimizations, as I can see more zombies around, they arent as buggy as before too and the game ran a little smoother overall.

    The features that I'm waiting for are the ability to barricade a house and keep my stuff inside. The other feature is the vehicles, running everywhere on foot can be a little tiring :P

    Enough of this ranting!

  9. I wouldn't worry about in-game names, as nobody can see them, only by opening the playerlist, but that does not show their position.

    You're lucky if only one player tried to kill you, I got pursued and killed, got surprised by another guy, while I was eating some canned spaghetti, being crouched and sitting on the corner, why would he kill me?

    You must own a nice rig, to run DayZ decently at default settings at 1920x1080.

    You should follow the fps guide anyway, it will only give you a smoother experience with higher graphical settings!

    Also, try to disable mouse smoothing and put the X and Y bars at the same position, it makes the mouse more bearable.

    I too felt that sealclubbing at first, but once you learn to keep your head down, run through forests and own a gun, you're pretty much safe. Or so that's what happened to me.

  10. You did a good decision by getting the DayZ SA :D

     

    Now follow this guide so you can get some decent fps! The game ran in a pretty laggy fashion in my GTX 650, I7 920 1920x1080 main monitor, 1600x900 secondary monitor. I game on the main one only.

     

    The steps are simple and the experience will be much better, the only problem is that the trees might look a little ugly, blame the unoptimized engine!

    My steam id is is my forum handle, Oneironz. If you would like to play with another noob just hit me up!

     

    One last thing, there aren't that many zombies in Chernarus, just keep an axe with you to be safe  ;)

     

    Have fun!

  11. Hehe thats right Cjflint!

    Regarding DayZ, I wouldn't buy the old dayz, get the standalone instead, sure it is early alpha, but it's worth the money.

    I bought it myself yesterday and been having a blast! There are some bugs here and there, but the game is playable, very playable for an early alpha.

    Don't mind all the warnings about bugs whatsoever, it ain't THAT buggy.

    Another thing, if you buy the game now, you'll have access to future updates for free, not having to pay an higher price later.

    DayZ mod is the old DayZ, standalone is the thing!
