Norfolk nChance

Captain Pips, I just did a Basic ALT guide on STEAM if you want to take a look. http://steamcommunity.com/app/311310/guides/ Games Labs will never get rid of ALTs. Explained in the guide why. Before launch the Dev's need a proper "code of conduct" to manger the use and abusive behavior by some and not all players. Norfolk nChance.

Admin, http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/supported-games Was asked on STEAM forum, will you get GeForce support after launch? I don't think its possible as an EA. Will help with game optimization etc... Norfolk. ps still owe you 2x videos

the pirate area of the game needs some either thought or TLC. I'm not sure either how to solve an element in the game that is a focus. A Privateer work around also could be used.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=917654264 this is a basic guide to ALTs in Naval Action Norfolk nChance.

Amedus, for your reference Intel i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 GHz Kingston Hyper X 16.0 GB RAM 64bit OP Windows 10 Home GPU GeForce GTX 980 Ti v381.89 Average Ping from Hong Kong 260 VSync On, FSXX On, Anti-Aliasing 4x, Full Screen Mode FPS 45-55 ******************************** VSync On, FSXX On, Anti-Aliasing OFF, Full Screen Mode FPS 60 - 70 ******************************** VSync OFF, FSXX On, Anti-Aliasing OFF, Full Screen Mode FPS 120-135 ******************************** regards Norfolk.

BK-KnightRider, You make some very valid and sound points. I'm happy to discuss further all aspects of ALTs and what they actually do and don't do. However this threads OP is not this subject. If you wish to start a new one with a focus OP on your views am more than happy to contribute. rgds Norfolk nChance.

I think we maybe drifting off topic now. In late November I saw my clan and server slowly what I thought was dying. So I took a small band from PvE to PvP(2) US. The Clan were not sure at all. I said trust me, we stick together, we have a plan and work it. We have had so much fun and friend and foe alike they have made my sandbox a delight to play in. So I believe [ELITE] are the true Carebears who migrated. We fight. I cringed when people what I think mis-use the word Carebear. The people who Sir Texas, Lennes and Grungemonkey are talking about are really "Carebear Lite" The use of ALTs you will have to get over it. Its what keeps the game alive. If you use an ALT to farm as mention above while then having another PvP. You are indeed a Carebear Lite, but the game if you haven't noticed on the testbed, even with a large clan will require a farming ALT at least. I suggest you stop bickering and Hug a Carebear today. For tomorrow you will probably be one like it or not. Watch out for the ones with Teeth... Norfolk nChance

Yep will do Main server then Testbed... its intermittent

Ink, Thought I should post this here instead of TestBed Thread as it none gameplay issue. Specs. Intel i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 GHz Kingston Hyper X 16.0 GB RAM 64bit OP Windows 10 Home GPU GeForce GTX 980 Ti v381.89 Average Ping from Hong Kong 260 On Test Bed in OW I noticed the graphics not quite as sharp and jerking somewhat. The speed counter starts to slow and then speed up to a very fast speed. Example doing 20knots that drops to 15 or 12 to then climb to 35 or 50knots. This to me looked like Packet Loss on my internet connection. I have wireShark and can't see an issue. Graphics setting is usually the first response but shouldn't be used as an excuse. VSync on, and FSXX on while anti aliasing is OFF. FPS 60-70. Turn VSync OFF 100+. I go into Battle option. All Starts off well. But after a time ... I'm guessing five to ten minutes. So Action as started to happen. Latency in firing guns. At first I thought it was a new mechanic because you need XP in a ship so crew not as sharp. But it doesn't happen all the time. Again this time worse latency on Picture. So the image will jump forward like fast forwarding a movie. Its not impossible to play, but something is amiss. I re-tested on the normal server PvP(2) US again all fine. Also I tried to isolate the game to see if Windows or some background interference was happening. I used Sandboxie and again got the same results. If its just because it is the TESTBED then fine. Just thought you should know. Norfolk nChance

I tried ages ago to work out speed backwards with additional cannons. Will dig out some old numbers... Do we still calculate Gun Crew in calculations? So minimum is 168 crew less 240 gives you 72 to man all your guns.

While we are on this subject... Admin Please can you change the text name of "Gold" the Resource to "Gold Ore". This I promise you will help when all the newbies start flooding in. That first few hours in the game can be daunting enough. This minor change will help them know the difference between my Gold and SirDanger's Gold Norfolk

Sorry Elric, I will need to stay GB Nation, would love to join and help but I just simply can't turn and run as fast as the Swedes. But you'll be fine Sir Texas says he's behind your back. Comforting words from [BLACK] I guess. Good Luck and Vive La France from a CareBear who cares... o7

ADD, [ELITE] to GB Nation Active Members 5 thanks

well, we get to keep the Global Chat a little longer then.... oh sorry yesterday's news...

Ha! this is why one shouldn't do a long drunken weekend in Macau, before testing the old virtual sea legs... many thanks Liquicity, I'm an idiot Norfolk.

Dev's Might be me. Come back from 3 day break. Reloaded the Testbed up correct code etc. Can't login... Name Testbed Status Update Population [-] Ping [-] is it just me, Time UTC 15.54 Norfolk

Serk, No idea, like Sir Texas says there in Brazil. Portugal is a stand alone nation, it wouldn't look right as a Spanish subset. Say Spain's would be Catolonia that's idea.

Hethwill, Great Idea, may I suggest a tweak... The Problems with Nations in NA is populating the smaller ones. Creating more diverse ones just dilutes the smaller ones more. However what about a "sub-Nation" that's under the larger parent like GB Nation and your Scotland-Irish one. Ned Low may want to be a Privateer a sub-set of Pirate. Portugal however would have be its full own status. Norfolk.

Admin, Ink very low priority but something for the future maybe. I'd like to load my cannon decks with different ammo on the same side. At the moment I can sort of do it but not ideal. I need to have carronades on the upper most deck, then officer perks double shot or charge picked. So for the Port or left of the ship I do [1] , then [3] to select grape which starts to fill all the decks, then [1] and [4] double shot or [5] Double charge... You cannot use the Officer perks with carronades so it continues to load Grape on the top deck while loading the charged shots on the lower decks. Great for killing top deck crews etc. However once the perks are depleted it will load the same ball, chain or grape as normal. A tad cumbersome but would like an option on individual decks all the time if possible... The second tweak is to be able to "off load" the upper Top Deck when in battle wanting to lighten the load you throw the cannons in effect over board. Thus you'll have a small but maybe significant increase in speed. The lower deck I believe the port holes where too small so can't be off loaded... if the worse ideas you've heard let us know, you have a better idea likewise Norfolk.

Ink was online in NA last night for ages.... ....it wasn't me testing either.

Admin, Like the idea of the docks. Would this include a Clan "Car Park" for the warehouse so members give drop in and others can take out even if they are both at the opposite ends of the Globe? Norfolk.

Port Battle - Baracoa Line Ship Defenders - US [ELITE] Attackers - Pirate [BLACK] Pirate taking all three circles took the contested Port Battle. Unfortunately haven't got a picture and a day late on the post apologies. Norfolk.

Ink, You think it is a Problem? Pitxagorri, Did you ever get an answer to the problem apart from Ink's above? Why I asked I've being playing around more with the crew management system since this note. Not your specific to the issue in the OP but have definitely notice ways of speeding up crew movements Norfolk

hahahahahaha Sir Texas that was all you... Lmao am thinking what? Isn't that a compliment getting a grumpy old sea dog you are, love it Norfolk

you Sir Texas need to write a guide, STEAM etc... after the wipe. Its a widely mis-understood boat but can turn the tide of a PB etc as I've seen you... Something for you to do in May...
