Clarion Call

UPDATE: Thanks to all for helping me solve the issue! <0 Re-installed the packages, and now everything is working correctly. I had to reload each of the packages you listed @Ink in order to make it work. See screenshot below

I did that: I also verified all local files I uninstalled the game and re-installed.. It still does not work correctly at all.

@Ink, I'm not sure if I'm facing a chat ban situation or not... But i can't see any of the regular chat channels such as Nation, Global, not even the Help channel. I can't add them and my friends list is also not loading. I also can't talk in battle chat and the regular tavern section loads into the battle instance Talking on Teamspeak to other people, I can log in and they visually see me in game, but they can't send messages or invite me to groups. I also cant send in-game mails or receive them. I'd greatly appreciate any help you could provide so i can talk to people and group up again. (not that there is anything critical said in nation chat, by the way) Please see the attached screenshot showing the empty tavern.

Well, the Wasas came to attack us at Trux, and instead got themselves sunk. Great fight by both, it went right down to the last 10 min or so. <0

Sir, My ping is a stable 112 -120 max and FPS 60-90. I don't normally have connection issues from the East Coast of the US. I have cable internet and 100 Mbs speed. This was the first time I've seen an issue like this and figured it was just a UI glitch.

To whom it may concern, I think i found a glitch with the warehouse stacking ability. I had a sealed bottle in the warehouse and after sailing back from KPR, I had a second in my hold. When i went to stack them in the warehouse, it instead deleted them. I did an F11 report and was able to get them back in my hold, properly stacked. Just wanted to let you know of the potential glitch, if you've already fixed it for the testbed with the new UI, cool. Have fun sailing captains! o7

You sir, are worthy of great respect for your actions. Do not worry about your English, you speak it well and are fluent in the more important languages of Honor, Integrity and Courage. I salute you sir.... <0

Well, they jumped in on the Swedish side, so I considered them Swedes, My apologies for the mistake.

Gentlemen, Yesterday evening, Myself and John Keats were sailing to the defense of George Town. We encountered a light squadron of Swedish warships. I had an NPC Trincomalee I was transporting up to port to give to a clan member along with my Indefatigable. John was in his Aggamemnon. The Swedish ships initially ignored us and went after and sank the Trinc. That allowed us to get into range of the fort defenses of Little Cayman. After they chased us into range of the fort and suffering some damage, the Swedish turned away and left the battle.... Except these four... The four captains you see in the screenshot below, were honorable gentlemen. After we tagged their ships and challenged them to a fight, they fought their ships well until their sinking.... All of these captains refused to surrender their ships and fought them to the death.. At the end of the battle, we (British Captains), had under 200 crew per ship, so my hat is off to these fine captains for a courageous and valiant effort. Salute! <0 HMS Clarion Call Pennant # 63 "Salty Dogz" Squadron His Majesty's Royal Navy Squadron operating near Kingston

Admins say in this thread that ships can shoot at each other to light them up as fireships so long as both sides consent to it. They further go on to say that the brits could have used bigger ships and it wouldn't have been an issue.. Which is why they fixed the basic cutters to not go boom....

Or instead of trying to get the devs to review the conquest mechanics, you work on actively recruiting players away from other nations to yours? What about getting new players to join your nation? or hiring pirates (Pagan Pete comes to mind as someone who could steer some pirates your way)? Work on increasing the player base, which will help us all out in the future. I know that's what I do, and it seems to be working since the british nation is getting bigger....

And I'm saying, let bygones be bygones, and let us strive to have honorable combat in the future. Are you with me on this?

Celtiberofrog, The Spanish used basic cutters to counter hostile fleets previously, which has been posted in screenshots by those who were present when it happened. So, at the time of the hostilities at Omoa, the British players used a tactic they remembered the Spanish had previously used. As you said yourself, this has been addressed and fixed by the devs, so no need to try and beat this dead horse anymore. Its dead.... BLUF: if you considered the British using basic cutters as nasty gameplay, then you (Spanish Nation) are guilty of it as well. Let us delcare that henceforward, we will fight in honorable ways as officers and gentlemen (and Gentlewomen) of our respective nations and strive to make this a fun world to fight in. Are you with me?

Was it wrong to use basic cutters since they were free ships? Absolutely!! No arguments from me there mate!! Was it wrong for the developers to reset the port battles for a day earlier than they should have been? Yes!! We should have been fighting at 1700 today instead of yesterday night! What I am saying is that you should be aware of your limitations, recognize them, and plan accordingly. If I know that I have superior firepower to my enemy, I will decide to use hit & run / guerilla tactics to try and keep them from accomplishing their objective. If you know that the enemy is going to use those tactics because you have such superior firepower, you have to be willing to accept it and plan to counter those tactics. If you don't have the assets to do so, do you actually go ahead and pull the trigger? Those are the decisions that had to be made before you guys started this fight, and you need to be willing to accept the consequences of it now. Its like one school wanting to play 11 man football with their neighbors, but only having 11 players, while the other side has 22. If you complain about having to keep your players on the field the entire game, then should you have really started playing 11 man football to begin with? Maybe you should have played in a 7-man team league instead? In this case, you shouldn't be complaining about being swarmed with 70 guys if you knew beforehand that it was going to happen.

No worries, Glad the misunderstanding was cleared up! <0
