EL LOCO

My Magic Moment playing with 2000 online players and waiting an hour just to get in the server.

What happy pill do you take Teutonic? Swedes. Giving us Ikea and Volvo. Horse meat meatballs, vague instructions and stuff that breaks down fast. Wait til the patch before you thank them.

Yes. Completely Agree. Do this.. Do this NOW.

Going backwards. I am quite surprised to see less content for ship building. I still personally think the developers got it right when they introduced fine woods but instead listened to whiners and dropped it. I was accumulating fine woods so much that when they reversed this, I was almost a billionaire. Then it became completely absurd as everyone could build a 1st rate in 2 days as apposed to weeks with fine woods. Sure ..Compass woods does slow things down. Combat mechanics , I think are good enough to release. We all like the upgrades. But now the developers want to scratch that and start new. Strange way to develop a game. I really want this game to succeed. I personally think this game has huge potential but it seems the devs are just rewriting everything to a point of madness. It makes me sad. Such hope.

Yeah. Made me waste valuable time. This is the most insane development of a game in pre release I have ever been involved with. This game could have been a top game with the graphics, sound and battle system. But without players , this game is dead. I was selling ships to get mats ready for the wipe and now its a full wipe way before release. INSANE. Make up your damn mind and stick with it. Fine woods was good. It made sectors more valuable and limited ship production. Doh. Geez. At least have some sort of fund raising so that we can buy stuff and not waste time. Money is no object for me in real life and in this game. Time is valuable. Stop wasting it for you to develop this game and keep changing it . It is nowhere near time to release this game.

I agree on this and I will stand to lose a lot. I was one of those pumping out 1st rates that sold in seconds. But I refuse to grind that initial step. You must give everyone a set standard of gold (1 million seems right) and we can buy or make our own ships. Don't give us ships. I stand to lose 170million and 2 ports stacked and ready to pump out ships as I was told they were just wiping ships. 1 million in gold to everyone as we can open outposts, get mats, buy a good ship or start trading hardcore. But If you wipe all of it ..then I have to grind the worst part about becoming rich. Its that barrier that I refuse to do again in real life and in game life on any game. The newbies will be rich with 1 million but it will be peanuts to my 170 million , and 10k of every mats and 2ooo grade notes. I cannot grind that initial bump in gold. No way.

Can you give everyone 1 million gold so we don't have to do that horrible horrible economic grind. Some are smarter then others but starting with zero gold is just going to make me quit. Don't give us ships. I doubt giving everyone 1 million gold will ruin the economy.

I think the developers should wipe their brains and get a clear concept of what is really going on in this game. Awhile back..you got rid of fine woods which I thought was great as making a ship was hard and one had to secure a zone to make that ship. Now it is all pointless and most of the players are stinking rich . And now.... you want to narrow that once again. This game is beyond alpha. This game is dead. Time to sell the code to some other company whom can make it a great game. So far..good battle mechanics and great weather. Great visuals but no content and no understanding of ECONOMICs or WARFARE .. Sad

Then the game is broken. I quit playing until its either fixed or will erase game from computer.

That is why I would like to see the United States declare war on England (as it did historically twice in game time era (1770-1820) versus just 1 year against the Spanish). Unfortunately the political game mechanics is still flawed. It should be fluid and non binding like it was in History. But I really don't like seeing the Americans allying with the British. And I am an American playing Spain because of it. No one died in the Spanish American Quasi war if I remember. I like History and I like playing History. And if we can figure out how to get a decent ping to PVP1 , then those Australians and New Zealanders can play and 99% they will choose England. But the Americans speak English and only want to speak English and game the system so much that it erodes the game of players. I have had enough. I will gladly change sides to United States if they declare war on England not permanently but definitely not ALLIES. Makes me puke

Don't remind me. Spain had a chance but some lousy americans (consti,ronme,endy) tagged 5-12 of us outside of port along with 8 spain npcs. Don't know how that BR worked there but it did and then we could not enter the battle. Wasted my time. Got frustrated with game and this has happened to me well over 20 times. I have only participated in 2 port battles in over 4 months as I keep getting tagged. I was this close to deleting this game forever. What fun are you british/americans trying to have? stupid lopsided bs that is literally ruining this game. Oh..did I mention the British pirates as well. BORING

I personally think PVP2 should move to PVP1. There are plenty of Australians whom play this game and love to play the British. Wow! a United States/British war? who would think such a thing, after all they speak common English. I also have stated that empty port battles (defending) should fill up with NPCs of various ships with players in a list at the Port but that is an entirely different topic. Would be fun to command maybe 2-24 npc's in a port battle against 25 good players with the forts firing. That would be fun.

End of the Quasi War. Declare war on the British. . Revenue cutters in the service of the United States Revenue-Marine, the predecessor to the United States Coast Guard, also took part in the conflict. The cutter USRC Pickering, commanded by Edward Preble, made two cruises to the West Indies and captured ten prizes. Preble turned command of Pickering over to Benjamin Hillar, who captured the much larger and more heavily armed French privateer l'Egypte Conquise after a nine-hour battle. In September 1800, Hillar, Pickering, and her entire crew were lost at sea in a storm. Preble next commanded the frigate Essex, which he sailed around Cape Horn into the Pacific to protect American merchantmen in the East Indies. He recaptured several American ships that had been seized by French privateers.[8][9][10] American naval losses may have been light, but the French had successfully seized many American merchant ships by the war's end in 1800—more than 2,000, according to one source.[11] Although they were fighting the same enemy, the Royal Navy and the United States Navy did not cooperate operationally or share operational plans. There were no mutual understandings about deployment between their forces. The British sold naval stores and munitions to the American government, and the two navies shared a signal system so they could recognise the other's warships at sea and allowed their merchantmen to join each other's convoys for safety

Americans always have the Aussies to fight in off peak times.. Make the game fun. Don't let the British on American soil in Charleston. And now the British support Piracy.

Historically . US sided with France and had its own separate war with England but in this game, it is the opposite. I don't understand it , especially when the pirates are now British pirates. Game is lopsided and boring now. There is no reason why United States should fight along with the British. Does not make sense.

Terrible so far. I have lost 2 officers ...got sunk many times. no points. Get chased by pirates usa and brits 3 to 1 5 to 2 .. just no point. Horrible..

Quick notice and point. Battles are quite good now. everything seems to be working fine. Just wish ships could be more rare but I am sure that will come with ship wipe.

Shallow water event. only 4 players and I am sunk by Gameover (who doesn't) . No score but I should be compensated for showing up. That's how most contests work. That encourages more to show up as all you have to do is either sink or be sunk unless 10 show up. Unfair and well...boring and useless IMHO

My advice is to keep fine woods but just increase productivity by 10% or more. Otherwise there is no point in holding certain sectors. Breaking up certain ships should give you some fine woods as well. I was making a 1st rate almost every day before recent patch and selling them to increase Spanish Presence but now it is more rare and I think that should stand. To Increase PVP? Port Battles. I still think that there should be some way for a nation to attack a neighboring enemy port and have that port turn over . So each port will have a hostility rating and one 70% of ports besides main port are taking then the port battle should be initiated in 2 days. defenders can do the same to retake ports without portbattles. This would decrease amount of sailing for everyone. Increase PVP before port battles. And get rid of warships using free towns. Only pirates should be able to but only If you remove pirates to be able to conquer territories. At the same time..pirates should be able to set up outpost anywhere except capitals.

Brexits and Orangie traitors can now accuse Spain of ill repute when your involvement for centuries has ruined Spain. We are ready , armed and experienced. Bring it on.. Just don't puke on the beaches and harass our women.

Patch in ????

Our Officers. We have 3 basic ship placements. small craft, frigates and ships of the line. So therefore you can hire 3 officers and each one can only xp up with his coordinated designation. We all have 3 officers in each category ..simple as that. As we all now play with all category of ships. Lets move on..and give us 3 officers..

?? then get Comcast. I have had no problems with 25 to 25 1st rates peak time. I am a trader and have a t1 line but I am living in Cartagena. Comon you Americans. You shouldn't have less then 20mb per second connection or you just plain old school.

Okay. We all know the introduction or armour ships but why..oh why.. didn't they not put iron in the back instead of windows so the captain could have a view. Comon man.

Yeah. I visited that ship but I don't recall all 800 packed in the back. There should be some diminishing returns. You hit one good shot but the next ones should diminish. And also there should also be a 20% regeneration rate on crew wounded but ordered upstairs. This is historically correct.
