I have the same question. There is a high amount of interest in the appearance of this vessel, if the daily inquiries in the PvE GB national chat are anything to judge by. The last information we had, however, was "sometime this month." That's a fairly broad window.
-
I was thinking same when I saw preferred timeframe. AUS or KIN might be a good fit. Not speaking for them in any way; just the folks I happen to most see online in Brit nation TS during those hours. BRITS a possibility as well; they seem to have a kernel of US-located players on "night crew", as it were. I don't have the slightest idea if any of these clans are actively recruiting, or have prerequisites, etc.
Now whether you'll have an appreciable number of enemies is an entirely different question. That 3-hr window happens to coincide with the low ebb of PvP1 server pop (but still higher than the PvE peak).
Thank you for the pointers on the clans. I'll see about tracking down some people to speak with. As to the number of enemies online during low ebb times, I did realize going into this that I would probably run into that issue. I'm not a morning person, however, so I usually work the afternoon 1330-2230 shift. Which is why my week day online hours are so wonky.
What's your style of gameplay? Trade, hunt, missions? Many fo the French clan members are on in the evening as we have quite a few EST folks (me too). PM me in game if you are interested, but we generally don't play after midnight, or not often.
Thanks for the question: I hadn't thought about it when I made my original post. Trade and missions are my usual playstyle but I'm looking to get engaged more with hunting (probably on the weekends, when my hours are more my own and not dictated by work). I'll keep your offer in mind, as well.

Hello All,
As the message says, I'm a U.S. player (EST, GMT -5) looking for a clan to call home. Owing to my work schedule, I'm particularly interested in clans in the British or Dutch nations with an active presence on either PvP 1 or 2 during late-night hours (2330-0230 my time) - but not to worry, on the weekends I keep more reasonable hours. I've been playing Naval Action since January and am extremely familiar with the sailing, combat, and economic mechanics of the game (in other words: not a rookie).
Looking forward to hearing from clans with open slots on their roster.

I think this should merit consideration, given how very little attention is being paid to the server overall. As I have pointed out elsewhere, the PvE server often gets the "short end of the stick" when it comes to implementation of new mechanics and features - most of which seem to be ill-thought-out with consideration to promoting activity on that server and retention of an active player base.

Look at it this way - the PVE server was not initially considered in the design of the game and enough players expressed interest in playing without worrying about PVP so the devs added the PVE server. So maybe just consider the fact that there is a PVE server at all and be happy. That way when a feature is added specifically targeted at PVP you won't feel left out. Something will come along for you - AI treasure fleets maybe....
I would personally like to see a feature added that is specifically targeted to the PvE server. Judging by what I've seen in British national chat, a strong portion of the PvE playerbase feels the same way.

When thinking about radical changes, can we maybe take out Bots completely for a week?
On which server? If your response is "all of them," then no. Why does the PvE server consistently get the short end of the stick because the PvP'ers decided to whine and complain?

Bottles can be caught anywhere, but they are now rarer, since the last patch.
I'm not so sure about this. Yesterday I fished up a bottle while going to a mission, then came up with another bottle while returning to port (after looting the first wreck), and then came up with a third bottle while taking a frigate on a long-range (about 50 minutes) trip to a remote outpost of mine. Today I moved a different ship to the outpost for some trader hunting and was surprised to find yet another bottle in the hold when I arrived at my destination (the joys of afk sailing). My luck with bottles has never been this good before.
-
I have to say that I agree with the idea of a treasure fleet, but to be fair anything would be better than what happened today.

Thats all pve is in any game from warcraft to gw. You get the mission, kill the mobs and return. Its pretty much why ive quit all pve mmos. There is nothing to do but lame quests.
The only naval MMO I've seen different from this, in recent memory, was Pirates of the Burning Sea. Given that the devs have suggested they are trying to make a better game than PotBS, I'm starting to wonder just what their experiences in that game were like. Were they pirates solely in the red all the time, or did they do missions as well?
-
Is there any intent, at this point, to deploy items that are specifically-intended to boost activity on the PvE server (such as missions involving more than "go here, shoot this")? The only items, with an effect on PvE, that are listed in the original post are ones which seem primarily intended to affect the PvP server - PvE being an afterthought or footnote.

Next content patch (september) we will move to the new regions system. There will be a reset in port ownership and many other changes will be added (potentially with trading too). Only ports will be reset that patch. Crafting and buildings reset might come later in october (due to changes in trading and resource distribution). We will post a separate detailed announcement on it shortly.
This means that current port conquest is becoming even more meaningless. To bring more fun to the OW and remove the potential fear from ganks to bring more players to pvp zones we would like to propose to run several interesting and potentially exciting tests starting with Duel week.
Duel week wacky patch.
All battles on the OW are 1v1. Whoever you attack, who ever attack you. Battle locks on start (except for capital waters), nobody is pulled and you have your 1v1. (missions and port battles are excluded from this rule).
Alternative 3v3
Another item with no effect on the PvE server? O lawd, say it ain't so!

What a nightmare - tacking is just turing into irons - no matter how fast you enter
if we cant have diesel engines - do you need power brakes?
I'm not sure why you're having issues, but I tested a tack through the wind in my Bucentaure. From an angle of 45 degrees off the wind going four knots I can turn through the wind without going into reverse, or getting caught in irons, and usually emerging from the turn with about a knot of speed (which quickly rises). Might I suggest angling the sails on your foremast to have the wind "push" your bow around? I do this frequently, both when tacking and when I'm trying to come away from a close-hauled angle on the wind, and it works quite well.

About music, some videogames had the perfect soundtracks. Playing the Mass effect games and listening other music should be punished.
Was I the only one who was annoyed by the navigation map music after a couple playthroughs? I'd normally agree with you, but I made it a point to linger in that menu as little as possible because the music got so repetitive.

I'm sure MANY players will read this and make suggestions...DON'T...
Tough. If you didn't want people commenting on your whining, you shouldn't have posted on the forums.
Now, as to your economic problems it's called being adaptable and diversifying. If your economic niche is being crowded out, move into something else. I went from selling oak logs to a port, to selling planks to players, to moving into medium carriage production, because the first two options were gradually being crowded out by other players. The sense I get here is that you're unwilling to do this and would instead like the devs to bend over backwards to accommodate narrow-minded inflexible individuals like yourself. Good luck with that.

I'm sorry, but I don't get where you're going with this.

I'm entirely in favor of keeping the fleets on the PvE server. I can't speak for PvP since I rarely (if ever) play there.

Thanks admin.

I get this too... It happened when I was playing with my resolutions to try and get the FPS to improve. Although I ended up switching everything back to the original settings, the loading combat screen still starts inverted and upside down like your pics.
I'm glad to know it isn't just me. I haven't touched my settings for several weeks, however: it just ... started. Without my doing anything, apparently.

Good morning. Apologies in advance if this issue has already been reported: I looked and didn't see anything, so I hope I'm not beating a dead horse.
I've recently encountered an issue with the loading screen becoming inverted prior to entering battles. This problem first began last Sunday (01 May). The screen returns to the proper configuration (my neck is quite thankful) when the battle loads, but I'm slightly concerned that this problem might some day continue into a battle.
I've attached three screenshots (god bless Steam and F12) to this message for confirmation, along with a dxdiag report on my machine's configuration and setup.

It would seem those fingers being crossed were unsuccessful. Unless they intend to drop a DLC on a Saturday.
