@admin First, I'd like to express my support for that idea!
Can't be more than happy to see, that You realised that what we need most is a proper kick on the launch day, and a full wipe is the way to go!
It takes some balls to change Your mind like this! Hats off!On the other hand, I feel sorry for some people who did some rants over here. People like @John Sheppard - I'm truly sorry for Your life. If You and Your friends had just a thought of intentionally spoiling the fun for new people, gank them and troll them, that tells a lot about Your sorry life. Based on what? The argument that You have a right for that because You bought the game? Guess what - the new people will buy this game too. So You know what? After seeing what You posted, I actually wish You quit the game. Find Your purpose in living, and actually enjoy Your life.
@Lars Kjaer - honorable mention required as well of course. Not only due to personal history, but also for publicly admitting, that You have no idea what You're talking about. Next time, before making fool of Yourself on the forum, check out what's going on in the game. And if You still think that veteran in 6th rate will be able to kill 3rd Rate, I'd suggest You go and take a closer look on what's going to change quite quickly, cause You might find Yourself in a different world sooner rather than later. Hint - testbed.
Well, and for everyone else crying about the wipes. Well, if You're that egocentric about Yourself, the game probably doesn't need You anyway, so feel free to quit.
Some refreshing, and a lot of fresh blood will do nothing but good to the game!
And a full wipe is a great step forward getting hundreds of new players after release. Well done!PS: @Neads O'Tune - yeah, lol. Get some PvP kills 😂
what a hypocrite ... i guess your going to try and tell us youve never attacked and sunk a new player

Most guarantees are shorter than 3 years. This promise was made in 2015, we expected to release in the end of 2016. Sorry but promising veterans advantage on launch so close to release seems like a very bad idea.
it may seem like a bad idea now
but you want to start going down how long a guarantee should last you need to start looking up a few facts
a guarantee is for the lifetime of a product unless stated otherwise ... i dont see when you said xp is guaranteed to remain on release that you put an date or timeline on that guarantee
my main bone of contention is you sold us DLC knowing that you were not going to honour that guarantee

On reflection - I am furious - the dishonesty is unbelievable. It was stated over and over that xp (rank and crafting) were protected.
I will wait but I will be complaining to steam and wanting a refund on dlc purchases if game is released with a full wipe of xp

NA post wipe situations have always been the one I had most fun.
But its dangerous to promise something and then do another thing. Based in previous promises many players have grinded hundred of hours that will be useless now, and this is not good.the last wipes were fun
but this is different
you have to rank up again to crew bigger ships ... you cant get bigger ships because you have to rank up your crafting xp again
and the biggest change is with the new damage model you will be sunk if you attempt to attack any ship bigger than the class of ship your sailing ... the grind will be far harder and longer than the first time around
-
see this as an end of NA
Vets will stop playing ... those that come back on release will log in find they have nothing and leave again ..why do you think they left in the first place
people who havent played before will see new game release read reviews and not buy
result 0 playerbase game dead in 2 months
but devs have made their money so alls good

Yes, at the time they believed that they made the right choice, they have since had time to assess the situation and feedback from players (there were many players who called for a complete XP wipe at launch) and have made a change that they think will benefit the game post launch.
He did ALSO say to EXPECT THE WORST.
fair comment ... however
Napoleon believed he made the right choice on marching to Moscow
seems there are many players who are calling the full xp wipe BS
i have played this game for many hours and although it will be a shame ... its not a life changing event to stop playing .. the devs can do as they like
I feel I have been conned with false information when DLC was launched ..
i may have been stupid to buy several dlc of a game in testing , but thought they were been sold on the basis of no removal of xp at launch
I bought those dlc on the facts presented by the devs .. they obviosly havent acted in good faith when selling them

Explain what has made the DLC useless?
a dlc is useless if im not playing the game .. i bought those dlc based on the fact i intended playing the game after release ... It was guaranteed that rank and crafting xp were to be retained on release
therefore the dlc were sold under false pretence
let me say again
Quoteif the devs had been honest and upfront about a full wipe i would not have bought those DLCs

Rank xp, crafting xp is safe and guaranteed Money, resources, upgrades owned and probably ships will definitely get wiped R
I have tested this game for 7000 hours ... I have spent money on DLC .. based on this guarantee
if the devs had been honest and upfront about a full wipe i would not have bought those DLCs .. at the moment i feel I have been conned into wasting my time testing for the devs and have been conned into spending money on dlc ..
the pandora and a few paints is a poor reward for 7000 hours testing . the dlc i prchased in good faith .. now useless for a game i may not want to play
one question .. why do you feel you can treat your most loyal customers like this ?
to be fair the ranking xp means little but im not going to grind the crafting xp

Hence the single biggest problem with this game. You raise hostility for say a 2800BR port, The screening fleet are all third rates at least and cannot enter the battle yet the poor attackers who have already earned their right to a PB are forced to keep within the BR range to enter the battle, EVERYONE who has raised at least 25% Hostility as a Clan should get automatic entry into a PB.
Griefing and petty ganking which is the norm will continue until this is addressed, Seems some players think they are the worlds greatest sailors and grief everyone on a sever holding less than 200 people, thats not even 25% one one train carriage on a single train in a single city in a single country on a continent. there are probably more old guys dying watching porn at the same time. Brag away.
have you posted on wrong thread

Frankly it's a task I'm willing to do for free.
So HAVOC is kinda like the mafia and they come collecting during port battles for protection money.
no not at all that makes it sound like they are demanding money with menace .... its done volunarily if you want to fight in a pb ...you pay if you dont you dont

Even if they are no part of it?, what if I change my ingame name to Rediiii, is there a chance for me to get a cut?
The government dont help me with my job or help pay for my home ...yet i still have to pay them tax ... why would it be any different if havoc dont own the port been defended or another clan attacks .... whether they take part or not

My life is hell since @rediii decided to come to GB! And the saddest thing is that he does not even deign to answer when he is called into question! He has an authoritarian and elitist attitude that annoys me. Now that I've found out that he does not charge his little friends, I'm really disappointed! Next time i will not pay! 🤔
you will get a fine for that

I'm sad that you actually think we're serious
you are rediis special pet ... so he doesnt charge you ? .. the rest of us have to pay ... thats why we need so much carebearing ,,,, look at our clan on nation leaderboard 734 pve kills ... 600 of those are Massimo carebearing at gasparilla so he can afford to command a pb

First off - I compliment the french captains in the first pic for taking a defeat so gracefully.
Secondly - I condemn this need to publicly ridicule an enemy that is very clearly a poor loser.. We've all been there (on the losing side that is) and I think we all know what french admiral that is actually good at the game, but writes so poorly in english. The hiding of the name is just a token alibi for ridiculing with impunity. Massimo I've always thought more of you than this.
live by the salt ... die by salt
as shown in the first pic there is no need for insults in battle its good play and earns respect .... 2nd picture I dont think was even in battle it was PM ... you want to be toxic be prepared to be shown up for what you are.... or at least do it in public ...dont be a coward hiding it in a pm

poor English .... to pay to play in PB .... the mafia would not be better .... the cost of victory without doubt .... lol
it is not expensive only 10000 doubloons ... or if you want to be commander like Massimo 50,000 ... it ensures that those who play are motivated ... so if we win it only costs half that ... which you can redeem by selling victory marks
thank you again for a respectful battle

Didn’t think it was a Havoc habor. Must have been since @rediii deside who fight in it.
Ore are you trolling so you can get payment to replace your repairs?
no trolling ,,, Brits are not allowed to fight in port battles unless Havoc and Redii receive payment ... also we have to trade them our ships so they can inspect the build and set up they then trade them back for us to fight ,,, if we win we get some of our fee back so it does help to pay for repairs ... it is a good set up and is motivational to win ,,,

While i agree to remove those secondary safe zones, it should be connected to one of the upcoming wipes. Doing it now will only drive more players away from the game.
why would it drive players away ? belize is a ghost town .... maybe the spanish do more pve in vera cruz than habanna .. give up habbana as a safe zone that is a ghost town too
not sure about new orleans its too far away to bother sailing

new lyrics sing along
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the gankers
flags and forgers DLC
I just want them for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is poodsI don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the gankers
flags and forgers DLC
I don't need to hang a pirate
There upon the dockside place
Admin won't make me happy
With a herc on Christmas day
I just want them for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is PoodsI won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for a snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
inside the reinforcement zone
I won't craft a ship and sail it
To North inlet or Saint NicI won't even stay awake to
pvp at Brunswick
I dont want to fight tonight
firing cannon left and right
What more can I do
Devs all I want for Christmas is Poods
PoodsAll the ship lights shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of cannons
firing fills the air
And everyone is boarding
I hear those ships bells warning
Devs won't you bring me the ones I really need
Won't you please bring my poods to meOh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my cannons
Standing right there in my port
Oh I just want them for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
devs all I want for Christmas is poods
All I want for Christmas is poods
All I want for Christmas is poodsMerry Christmas to all and your loved ones .... Bastard clan . RN

api will contain same prices information but it won't be in game (but on community managed resources). Which is a lot better for us. We cannot improve the trader tool and do not want to have an unfinshed feature in a final game. And i personally believe that electronic trading and knowing prices for goods 1000 miles away is against the age of sail setting.
you believe that traders in the age of sail just set off blindly to a port a 1000 miles away not knowing what was available to buy there and what the cost was ... ???? ,,, they had agents in ports that bought and sold goods they had contracts .. they knew exactly what price of goods were

on first read .. i though wtf ..hows a new player going to achieve all that ... however ,,, it could work if you broke it all down into segements which were linked to rank
so rather than just gain xp to gain rank you had to complete certain missions as well that dont unlock until you have the required xp
for instance ..
Attack an enemy player in enemy capital waters and inflict 2000 damage in one battle,Gain 5 PVP assists required for promotion to commodore but the missions dont unlock ubtil you have reasched flag captain
the join a clan and take part in a port battle ... may be rquirements to move from commodore to rear admiral ....
maybe this will make a rank in the game meaningful other than you have just grinded an amount of xp in solo missions if the safe zone
so in essence tailor these missions around rank and promotion ...
ps @admin why when you make a thread like this for ideas and suggestions ...do you then proceed to tell everyone who is critical of your original suggestion they are wrong ??? not a criticism in its self just an observation
