These are great changes! Wasn't a big fan of the PVP zones when they were here but I still went and I will go to the new ones. I am more excited about the hostility Mission changes which are going to turn this game inside out and in a fantastic way and a great New Direction!!!! When will this be implemented? When is Christmas coming? 😀

That is a bold claim. Will the exam tutorial teach which mods to put on ships?

50 PVP marks sell for about 7.5 mil at the moment. I have seen them go for 400k per mark before

50 PVP marks isn't even in the same ballpark as 1mil dollars PVP marks are Brozene.....get rid of them and make gold (which shouldn't be gold but pieces of 8) the main currency of the game

Cool. Welcome back...to a mess right now though lol

Seen you on earlier. When did you switch? Why did you switch?

Yes this is caused me to lose all 12 of my L'oceans, one of them was full of Victory marks but the other 11 were full of cartajena caulk and copper ingots. I hope admin can replace 😁

I will check it next time. They do actually fire only at the hull but visually it is chain. Ill note damage

On a command to "destroy" enemy ships my fleet ships fire cannonballs If I then command them to damast, they fire chain shot Ok If they have been firing chain shot and I command them to "destroy" they fire all cannons at the hull of the enemy ship, the problem is there still firing chain shot!! Now I would love the command functions of grapeshot and boarding for my fleet ships but most of all I would just like them to try to sink a ship with Cannon balls and firing chains t sails @admin Please fix Thank you

😁

That wizzing noise was my point that flew right over your head....your in a clan....your in the clump your not a solo player you don't know what it's like. I've hardly ever shared PVP marks so I don't know what that's like. 50 PVP marks a night is not possible (that I've seen) solo hunting in non moded ships like I sail. Would I go out in Connie after Connie tearing stuff up? He'll yes! But the ship loss in one night would take me 3 nights to recoup (no clan) also no agreements with other guys to do set up battles and farm marks... Once again I aknowledge that I am a solo player in an MMO game and once again I don't want anything for free just an alrenate route. I've said my piece and I feel like there are a lot of solo players here and the genre of the game (sailing/trading/crafting not MMO genre) attracts solo type players to this MMO game. This is happening now and will explode on release. I'm simply asking for an alternate route for me and players like me. I know you don't play solo exclusively and you probably rely on your clan and the clump and that's great if it works for you, go for it. I'll let you have the last word on solo players because I know it's important to you 😊

I'm all for PVP. It's what I prefer.... RVR, not so much....not in clan, probably won't ever be in a clan so rvr is out unless I can flip port solo (that's ok). But for a solo guy PVP is hard but possible...I craft or cap ships to pvp in and am limited to certain ships (that's ok). I do remember some of the best fun I ever had was screening and no I didn't use 1st rates to screen but I would like to be a able to build myself a 1st but that requires VM so that's out and that's BS And yeah I'd buy paints if they were for sale....last time we had them only the clump had paints and there weren't no variety of them for sale in shop....so the only solution at the moment is to suck up to a clumper so he will "please go sailing with me and teach me everything you know about PVP you god of sailing you, so that I too can maybe get some marks and some paint." (No thanks I don't kiss ass) Bottom line and I'm done, sailing a ship at sea is a very deep desire to be free. Freedom of the open sea, freedom to explore and freedom from any master other than the sea itself. THAT is the draw of this game! I bet, hell, I KNOW most people that have ever first started this game signed up as pirate...because that is THE ultimate freedom of the age of sail (at least in our hearts and minds it is). This is the closest I'll ever be to living and sailing in the age of wooden ships and I love it! But locking and blocking people limits that spirit. The clansmen and the PVP clumpers are bound by their agreements to set up PVP actions for marks and trade ports for marks and are trapped in a world of politics...not for me...I'll take freedom..I'll take the open sea and no responsibility to clans or nation's or people who won't be playing in 6 months when I'm still here, sailing free

It would not bother me if it took me 5 times longer or even 10 times longer to get Victory marks or paint then it does the guys in the Clans or the billionaires or the guys in the clump. No one is asking for free anything just an alternate path

This says exactly what I have been saying in a much better way. AGREED!

I spend 90% of my time in ow. I PvP but going alone in mostly dodging groups of 2-3 hunters that hunting the same waters. I don't attack anyinr below captain so that costs a lot of PvP marks as seal clubbers clean up in that area. Making money trading is NOT my thing but I do craft at lvl 50 and have lvl3 shipyard and can tell you there is 0 money in crafting , I've even bought ships for myself INSTEAD of crafting them. Your in a clan and have the time to RVR and that's great but I'm not and I don't... Solo playing this game is a real bitch and is the actual level "extreme"

I agree that the guys doing the "hard work" of putting in hours and hours and hours for Port battles should get bigger rewards....but us guys that put in hours that actually may be the same amount of hours just chopped up shouldn't be locked out of the game....I will have 0 victory marks and 0 1st rates....I will have 0 paints for my ships and that is only because I can't block out a time to do Port battles with a clan (and I'm not in a clan) so for me and maybe clans too small we get nothing...honestly 1 Vic Mark a month would do but that doesn't appear to be on the horizon in this MMO / ant-solo player game

I read a post on page 3 from @Headless Parrot concerning small Nations/clans and Port ownership This looks very encouraging. Would there perhaps be away for the small Clan and solo player to finally be able to get some victory marks?

No I've been rage borded in the past without them firing a shot...I of course did but rage boarder have fast ships that are modded up for boarding and full of rum....they used to click repair crew right before boarding...

Agreed lvl 50 doesn't carry alot of weight these days.

How is any rng drop "rare" for zerg nation's or clumps and or billionaires???? ITS NOT!!! unlimited gold and unlimited resources means unlimited attempts at the "rare" ship So small clans and small nation's and solo guys guess what? You (we) will have to become better and better at fighting over modded, over powered PVP ships. I don't see this as a very good step

I can't disagree with that. I would rather be able to use my 50 level crafting ability and my two shipyards to be able make an advantage in PVP that they obtain by gold or clubbing or exploiting their clan or even entire countries as they do the US..... I can only dream

Nice, but did Blackbeard do this to warships hunting him or just traders he bushwacked? I can't imagine him zooming up to a frigate loaded and ready to sink him with full crew compliment ready for him

Not a fan of rng caraft but at least it puts guys like me on the same level as the billionaires (yes actual billionaires) and those in the "clump". None of the changes above would effect those guys or even phase them

Or possibly replace it with simultaneous fire?
