Do not care for the reasoning I just want them to wipe everything. Everyone from 3 years back to release start at the same starting line. Only difference is an Early Access players experience. That should be the only advantage we have.

At least this shows that the development is so advanced (and the launch so close) that they do not think they need much feedback anymore
I would not say that they do not need feedback but rather with the resulted few individuals that are over zealous creating a toxic enviroment and spreading misinformation much of what is seen is that moronic money grabbing SidAlpha, it is a distraction and delays progress when they have to play crowd control.

Are you saying we should consider the possibility of him lying whenever he responds to a comment? That doesn't seem right and very respectful to admin surely?
Not lying but not set in stone as you would consider say one of the upcoming patch details.
Game has been worked on for over 3 years now and with each change it will effect into every remark they made. If we kept to the course we had 2-3 years ago this game would have been dead. Changes need to happen and it will effect every goal both new and previous.

Exactly. No turning back now. People can whine and complain like a spoil little brat on a long road trip but it wont change a thing. Time to finish this up and get a release. Personally, been liking all the changes. Just wish the individuals that are throwing a tantrum would leave and leave the people that are actually having fun to be.

people need to stop using the word "promise". clearly there is a disconnect about that, and it's just sending people into a pointless tizzy
Not to mention that people should not take anything said by the admin that is a response to a comment. Only when the admin makes an original post should you make it some consideration. Not to mention we do not know how many use the Admin account from the team.

A new player who just shelled out 40 bucks shouldn't have to purchase DLC content just to be on the same footing 1 week after launch.
To get into the same sort of rank however does not take long. It is after the Captain/Post Captain when things become a significant grind. Without tutorial and playing around an hour or two a day you can rank up quickly to the rank that will allow you in the larger 5th rates and even 4th rates.

I rather everything be wiped. Want everyone to start back at same starting line once again. But that is not up to me. Only thing I plan to do at release is write a positive yet honest review. Work towards reforming the clan. Do tutorials. Begin earning reals.

I'd LOVE a Topic created by the @admin every week or 2 weeks just giving the players an update on what you're doing, what's finished. Like a simple "blog-post" almost. heck, some people here seem to just 'oogle' over a screenshot.
For now, we have random communication
.
Although I am more hopeful and positive than Teutonic is in his post, I do agree that updates on progress and where things stand on a more weekly like basis would go a long way. I do not care if it is an open thread either. Just to visually seeing work being down goes a long way.

But then again we actually are going to advice ppl how to avoid fighting. That sound right?
We would advise them to choose targets wisely and know your limitations. Do not create conflict when it is one that can spiral out of control and out of your favor.
By the way this is not the thread for this. Not picking on Routan. Just stating rather than making a double post. This subject should be in a thread of its own or discussed privately.

and about beginners - no one will attack the basic Cutter, links, mercury, etc. and this players have capital protected area.
If you are a US player in those ships you still get attacked. Watch a bunch of French players in Bellona gank a cutter leaving Charleston.
I tend to hit anything that comes across my path within reason including cutters, especially with delivery missions and they could be carrying books, doubloons, or upgrades on them as well.

A later picture
The wind was in favor to prevent the advancement of the Swedish Fleet. The decisive attack ordered by the British Admiral into the center of the Swedish Fleet sinking the mortar brig was no less tactically noteworthy than Alexander's victory at the Battle of Gaugamela. The loss of their mortar brig doomed the Swedes to sailing upwind against the British lighter fleet and into the fire of the formidable Frozen Cay fortress, leaving them with a foreboding burden. There was an attempt by the Swedes to draw across the British fleet into a trap but it failed to develop and with the surrender of their final light ship, the Swedes were left without options for victory and retreated from the battle.
Huzzah for the all the British! Valiant effort by the Swedes.
Pyrrhic victory at best for GB. Lost three Surprises, a Mercury, and Hercules and was only able to take out a Mortar Brig, Requin, and have the other Requin surrender towards the end. Was actually having a social life for a change which was nice so I could not be there. From what I was told it was a good fight between everyone and hopefully things like this continue where things can be sporting.

I do not see 4th rates as ship of the lines in this game nor do I see them as frigates. Placing the wide range of time this game covers certain classifications become a bit grayed and muddled. The 4th rates one of those classifications that becomes hard to rigidly define for what ships they introduce and more importantly for the game itself. When it comes to the game I see the 4th rates as "super frigates." Too strong to be classified as a normal frigate class but not strong enough for the 3rd rates and above, aka ships of the line. It is one of the reasons I am disappointed that the Constitution and United States are now 3rd rates and not 4th rates.

Then go out and get it like everyone else has to. Other nations have.

Or buy some off a player willing to sell them. There are quite a few that would not mind parting from a few victory marks for a price or simply for free.

So I am fine with everything mentioned. Little disappointed its not a map wipe though. Two things I would suggest though @admin please make sure that there are a much larger percentage of craftable ships availible in comparision to the amount of dlc ships there are availible to purchase. Like there should be 1 dlc ship to ever 5 ships close to its class. Maybe even larger ratios. Also please tell me you guys are going to change up port battles in some manner. Like add variations to the battle objectives or something. Kind of bored doing the same thing over and over again and also to see cowardice rewarded when players choose to kite and run away from fighting as a tactic to win.

all rare ships will be buffed. Especially prince

I use the prince mainly as a trade raider or support ship. Noticed with the cannon changes that I am definitely rolling light. A boost the guns qould be nice to make its support role better.

957 to their score of 336 or something close to that. Lost because after GB line was broken they scattered and just did kited and stop our control the other points the rest of the battle.

After taunting Jack with "BORK BORK BORK, these are our waters." Jack proceeded to clean house and put the trash out.
Another battle was going against a Hercules and his fleet Niagara. We boarded and sunk the Herc and captured the Niagara.
We went to their main port and refused to fight or even help out their comrades.

the xp skip was considered a good idea initially to give the player the opportunity to jump straight to pvp
but in reality it takes time to practice the combat model and by the time he can pass it he is a M&C already and the only benefit for him is rare upgrade and ships.
we do not have a solution yet but are working on one .I think the first xp reward is fine from the challenges. (if I recall there being one). It isnt a huge jump since getting to that rank usually takes a day or two. Removing the XP reward for completing the final exam I do see as a good idea. Rewarding them say with a few permits or more reals would be nice.

I received my paints and ship, but I haven't changed nation.
Now I am super depressed.
EDIT: I had a recording of me doing it so I would make sure :(((((
@admin would changing my name in game effect it? Because I did it under my old username. I noticed when I changed I had all my old messages I had sent as Velhelm but all my other messages I sent and received under my other in-game name were gone.
