Hagen v Martius

Interesting that it works for you. When I tried it yesterday it flat out refused to do it and added everything into one massive spoiler. Just to test it I'm gonna try to add to pictures to this one. Of course I add a typo... Editing these seems utterly impossible as it refuses to take the "save" when you have new spoiler tags and existing ones.

I know, Liquicity. That's not the issue. The issue is that you can't have multiple separate spoilers in one post and you can't have text or anything else after that one spoiler you're permitted to have, To go back to the example in the first post: I/we usually write up our sorties with text, pictures to illustrate the text, more text, more pictures, more text. To make scrolling through less annoying - and maybe save those with slow connections a few annoyances as well - we usually spoiler those pictures. And that is no longer possible for reasons described above. @Anolytic it's at least good to hear that I am not the only one.

Good day everyone. I just made my first post after the change to this... wonderful new forum software and now I am utterly lost. If I add spoiler tags once to my post it works fine. But how on earth do I have more than one spoiler tag without causing spoiler-ception? Situation is this: I wanted to make a little write-up of the events of our last patrol and adding spoiler tags around the first pictures in the post meant I added EVERYTHING after those pictures as well. Sure I could drag and drop afterwards but as soon as I save that it'll once more add everything into one massive spoiler with a lot of sub spoilers. Besides, it can't be the idea of things having to edit it each time just to get it to work, right? Or is it no longer judged desirable to hide pictures to make scrolling through threads less annoying? I couldn't find any guides to this, but if I missed something I am terribly sorry and a link to that place would be fantastic. Otherwise, if someone could help me out here that would be very much appreciated. I feel like an old person discovering the internet for the first time...

The illustrious Hunde-Eylandets Compagnie is once more checking manifests and engaging in jolly commerce. Our sublime employers decided they wanted to ensure that commerce and transport to the north of La Navasse was all legal, orderly and ship-shape. Unfortunately our old haunt Jamaica has essentially fallen into line these days. Or rather... luckily. Because who would not rejoice in fully legal and correct commerce, am I correct? Pursuit of and Kaptajn Terkildsen taking possession of a piratical Wappen in the name of our most astute employers. Terkildsen going aboard a heavy British frigate after it struck to our superior mercantile knowledge. After that we had a cracking fight with a wonderful chap sailing under American colours in a Pirate Frigate where in the end it was decided to walk away from the fight in mutual respect. The fact that two more hits could've sunk two-thirds of our numbers and a further one would've reduced my sharp little barky to a wallowing woeful canoe may have played a minuscule role in the decision, but I shall not bore my readers with such quite honestly irrelevant details.

Ist normal für die allermeisten Schiffe, oft sogar dann wenn du Crew Space und Hammocks fährst. Oft reicht es schon, einmal mit 6 Leute von den Segeln abzuziehen (sobald diese bei 100% sind...) um alle Kannonen voll zu besetzen. Sollte das nicht reichen, kannst du mit selektiver Anwendung von F5, wie oben gesagt, dafür sorgen, dass eine Seite immer vernünftig geladen wird. Werden beide gleichzeitig mit zu wenig Crew geladen, werden die ja sonst oft so nervig tröpfchenweise fertig.

Dann mach doch den Vorschlag. Denn der Meister den du da zitierst hat recht, es sind nichtmehr die Missionen von vorher. Und wenn ein Neuling halbwegs sicher üben möchte, kann er jederzeit in eine leere Ecke der Karte umziehen, in die Newbiebereiche gehen oder auf dem PvE Server üben bis er sich seiner Sache sicher ist.

Why should every single person have automatic access to something that was earned with a lot of effort by a group of very dedicated and skilled players? I don't get that mindset. Like, at all. What is so bad about people getting rewards for doing something special?

You can already do so within the existing mechanics. You just need a somewhat organised group.

Read the post again... You are raging about the possibility that there is going some sort of unique/special looking ship that is only available with some special hoops. That bit was NOT talking about regular ships.

Oder ganz einfach generell niemals ohne den "Doctor" Perk vor die Tür gehen. Dann sind sämtliche Verluste erstmal um 70% reduziert, da sollten so ziemlich alle Probleme auch schon aufhören solange man nicht gerade in 1st oder 2nd Rates unterwegs ist.

I get the frustration - I have a few ships that I will dearly miss - but why are you surprised by this? They have been saying that a major rework of the crafting system will likely result in an asset wipe for ages and ages and ages. Hell, I remember mention of that back in March...

Here: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/17228-alliances-and-politics-freeze-potential-alliances-reset-warning/?p=331262

Alles hinfällig Jungs! Oh wow... Das wird was geben. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/17229-forthcoming-shipbuilding-changes/ Der wichtigste Satz: Keine fünf Qualitätsfarben mehr! Alles von Spielern hergestellt ist Gold, alles von der KI ist Grau. Stattdessen kann man verschiedene Eigenschaften verstärken und zahlt dann entsprechend mehr/andere Ressourcen und es ist ein Buff/Debuff System. Soll heißen mehr Speed bedeutet weniger Hull. Die Menge der Upgradeslots verringert Laderaum oder man schraubt halt andere Eigenschaften runter. Gleiches gilt für Crew. Kannonen, Munition und Pulver (!) beeinträchtigen Gewicht, Geschwindigtkeit und Laderaum. Negativ für einige von euch vermutlich: Eine derart weitgreifende Veränderung bedeutet den Wipe sämtlicher existierender Schiffe.

Wait, so does that confirm having to worry about ammo supply and such? If so, yes please. Other than that this has a lot of potential. The wipe is unfortunate but not unexpected. Dunno why people seem to be so surprised by it.

This. I fully agree. And, sorry admin, but this is a problem you could've avoided by simply folowing through the with the diplomacy reset that was said to happen with the map reset. Would've been the perfect time to do it as well.

The most important question of course: Is that a real cat on the bunk? On a more serious note: Great pictures!

Diplomacy needs the reset we were promised. Needs it desperately. Voting is completely screwed for Denmark on PvP1 as of today: We have two options to downvote, Spain and the US. Voting for either gives the error message that you can't vote for the last ally/war choice.

I'm saying that balancing things around players that may only have three hours a week to play spread over five days would ruin the game in every single aspect. Not that it should be Korean-style grindfest, but there has to be a bottom line of necessary time and effort that needs tobe kept, more so with top tier stuff. A bottom line without which NA would turn into Cookie Clicker/Farmville/*insert name of other generic Facebook/Mobile game*. MMO are time intensive games, that's part of the genre and what defines the genre. You're in direct competition with other players who may have more time on their hands and to expect to be able to keep up with them is illusory. Nor does it necessarily make the game bad or forbidding.

http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/17199-crafting-changes-in-the-next-hot-fix-delay-ship-crafting-till-then/ Soll heißen: Erstmal keine Schiffe bauen, das System wird geändert. Und zwar voraussichtlich Mittwoch oder Donnerstag. Die Menge der Slots wird fest an die Qualität gebunden, soll heißen Grau hat 1-1 und Gold 3-5, mit entsprechenden Schritten dazwischen. Gekaperte NPC Schiffe bleiben so wie sie sind. Die Farben der verschiedenen Hölzer werden sich auch ändern, aber sämtliche Werte bleiben gleich, also kein Grund zu heulen.

People that have a lot of time on their hand and/or are willing to spend their free time predominately in-game will always have an advantage. In every aspect. They will level faster, they will have more money, they will have more of everything and they will know the game better. That's not really a useful thing to balance the game around. Much less so a MMO.

The availability of newly crafted exceptional ships on offer in the various ports and the the ships that our clan crafter has been making for us (without any outside help) tell me that there is something you are doing wrong, sorry to say.

The life of those dedicated to fair and legal commerce are truly full of the most bewildering of episodes. That piratical Surprise and that rather suicidal Trincomalee being wonderful examples. -- My benevolent and exalted employers would like to announce that they have happened to come into possession of a mostly undamaged vessel of the Gros Ventre type. A very fetching one at that! Said ship will be offered to the highest bidder after a brief overhaul at the docks. Any notices in this regard will be posted in the papers. Furthermore and, as I am to assure you, totally unrelated to the above, the venerable gentlemen of the H-E Co. have also acquired a Gros Ventre-sized shipment of the finest Indian Salpeter, which is to be sold for a very reasonable price indeed. Any inquiries about these two items are to be directed at the most respectable H-E Co.'s office in Christiansted. on behalf of the honourable gentlemen of the H-E Co., Regards etc etc H. v Martius

Das mit den Mods bedeutet, dass du die nicht mehr rausreißen musst, wenn du das Schiff als Teil einer Flotte transportieren willst. Das Schiff selbst zeiht laut admin keinen Nutzen aus den Mods. Gleiches für Kanonen. Vorher haben die immer den KI Standard erhalten, zB absolut nutzlose Longs auf einer Belle Poule. Jetzt kannst du denen eine vernünftige Bewaffnung geben, macht die Teile wenigstens halbwegs nützlich.

Den einzigen Satz den ich dazu je gefunden habe war: Hervorhebung durch mich. Soll heißen momentan können Piraten und "Nationals" jeweils mit beiden Perks funktionieren. Die in-game Beschreibung sagt ebenfalls nur "when the enemy has a national flag", bzw. "if the enemy has the pirate flag". Außer ich habe seitdem eine Änderung an dem Perk verpasst bzw dazu die Patchnotes übersehen, ja, ich bin mich sicher. Und das der Perk Blödsinn ist, da habe ich dir schon in der ersten Antwort zugestimmt... Und wie ich schon vorher gesagt habe, der Pirate Perk kostet einen Punkt mehr als die verschiedenen Master Perks, bei weniger Bonus. Soll heißen momentan bist du mit Light Ship Master/Frigate Master/Lineship Master eh besser dran. Das wissen auch die Piraten. Pirate gibt dir einen halben Knoten. Die Master Perks jeweils einen halben Knoten und 2,5% Bonus zum Reload. Und da man nicht beide gleichzeitig haben kann... Somit: Null Vorteil für niemanden. Leider ist es aber nunmal auch so, dass die allermeisten Piraten sehr erfahrene PvPer und Spieler generell sind, das hilft vermutlich nicht bei der Wahrnehmung.

Den Perk kann jeder nehmen. Der Trigger ist nicht, dass man Pirat sein muss, sondern, dass der Gegner einer Nation angehört. Hättest du meinen Post, etc
