Few months ago you couldn´t sail out from KPR without being attacked by any faction, few months ago Spanyards were parking 15 1st-2nd rates in front of KPR, showing off, few months ago GB lost every single port battle, few months ago GB had almost only Jamaica left, everything was falling apart. Now, few more people are playing, GB has numbers, and all you can read is complaining about it in forum..... Btw @traitorous mctraitoro, dear Martin , you knew these times well enough, why posting this, only God knows....

Would like to buy TOW permits for dabbaloons. Not sure about the price? 1000 dabbaloons for each additional TOW?

Low player numbers are caused by recent changes in currencies, and MAYBE by announcing the BIG WIPE too soon by developers. Bringing old guards back into game is needed, which are having a break right now, and not some "fresh blood". Right now like @Wraith stated, this discussion is meaningless, because there is no need for some MINI Wipe .

If they do this, game is going to lose a LOT of players. I guarantee you that. So think twice before posting something maybe...

New players are punished enough because there is no proper tutorial in the game. And i mean tutorial about basic trading, crafting, wood characteristics, buildings etc., not the sailing one. A new player starts in a capital port, has no clue what to do, and if he gets wrong answers by asking in NATION chat what he should do, he will ALWAYS stay in the reinforcement zone, hiding from everything, with the attitude " omg i could lose a ship, i am not going to leave reinforcement zone". Where basically, everything is available in the Caribbean, you just need to grab your balls and leave the f...ng reinforcement area.

You are right. It makes sense though that those ports (CAPITALS) CONSUME trading goods. Me, playing GB, on the other hand,need to sail long time till i reach the port where i can buy goods, which can be sold in CAPITALS. This makes absolutely sense. Doing this 1-2 times in a week i have more than enough money for everything i need. Fair enough. I think there was a post from @Gregory Rainsborough about this producing/consuming thing, and in my opinion ALL REGION capitals should be able to CONSUME foreign trading goods, not only CAPITALS. This would also enforce players to leave reinforcement zones and establish their own trading routes.

Like other nations/clans do. Otherwise Swedes wouldn´t care about Santo Domingo or Puerto de Espana, and Brits wouldn´t care about Nassau.... So, go for it?

Not a "sailing tutorial", but a tutorial which explains a new player how to start, what to do. Some sort of basic strategy tutorial is desperately needed.

Thanks.

@admin...DLC ships would not be such a huge issue, if there were more ships in market. Ship market is dead, more or less, nobody is crafting ships and selling them, for affordable prices, the few ships which can be found somewhere have prices which are beyond any reason. The crafted ones ! Recently in patrol zone, you couldn`t buy any ship, at one particular free port, because there were no more ships in market, except few 7th rates! So, we don`t have crafted ships in market, and we don`t have "shop ships" in market. I don`t know HOW should people go out and do PVP, if there are not enough ships, which can be "wasted", to earn dabbaloons, which again are making the largest, and most expensive piece/kit of bigger ships. There is an artificial, but significant and devastating misproportion of supply(crafting, NPCs in shop) and demand (losses through OW PVP, patrol zone)of ships of all classes in market, which could have very bad consequences on further mindset of any player who decides to play this game. I personally see no reason to limit the amount of NPC ships in market, i would even suggest to make those ships "better", they could have better planking for example, planking at all, anyway, why are they "crew space" made? If those AI ships can be available in any port,"make" them better, and offer more of them, but don`t allow to trade them. They don`t need to be purple or golden, but i think there musst be more of them in market, to compensate the losses and absorb the devastating shortage of crafted ships.

This looks great

Already suggested to remove the ability of basic cutters to join or start the battles in PZ. I hope it is going to happen soon.

Cheers

I know that, but why is this allowed? Other players risk their ships too. Shall we all just use basic cutters in patrol zone? That would be great......

I can understand basic cutters are used to sail to far destinations to open an outpost afterwards. I can NOT really understand why players use basic cutters in patrol zones. I don`t believe they don`t have enough resources or money to take an appropriate ship and do some PVP. I guess the only reason is,because it is allowed to do so. Please remove the ability to enter or start battles in patrol zone with basic cutters. Thank you.

How can Russia get VM if they aren`t amongst 1st 3 nations in competition?

Well PVP marks are not the problem so much as Victory marks. Despite all alt farmers, i personally think, Victory marks are a much bigger, a serious problem, because it affects more players, as part of a nation. That is why we see spain and russia swapping ports, in regular intervals. Regarding Wasa... Anyone who still has issues with her, start using Bellona. even a PVE player like me figured it out.

And if the clan switches nation, and it is not disbanded? A nation owns ports which belong to the clan which switched nation, but wasn`t disbanded? Bad mechanic?

What do you mean in open world encounters?

Another question i have. What happens to ports, if a clan switches nation, which previously owned them?

The loot is nowadays, well, not worth mentioning. Too much "basic" gunpowder, and Coles-Bentinck pumps

Thanks

Can anyone contact admin? Ink, Barberouge etc...? Can`t spend whole day like this.
