@Anolytic will you update the guide for the last 2 exames with new video with the new damage model? Still think so fare you have made the best guide for new players.
-
Sure would be nice if @admin had a finished concept for dlc and we could know what it is.

18 mins for the final exam, 40 for the rest.
Think we all know the real PvP players no matter what we doo will have the upper hand from day 1. My guess they right after exame will go hunt, just hope combat news don’t break Down.

Patch 10 wipes we did not see veterans overtake noobs in the early weeks everyone struggled forward at roughly the same pace. Don't be so sure you'll take off running faster than everyone else just because you've played a little longer, the game you're use to isn't the same game you'll play at release.
Well I don’ think I played at patch 10. But do think the exp for exame and dlc is different since that time. Now they also for combat medalion can buy bigger ships, so they won’t need Woods ore crafting level to sail in though ships to beat. Do thing they will speed ahead of new players.

Btw, what will happen when veterans pass final exam and start sailing their Hercules and Le Cancer, how long will it take?
Combat news will be flooded with players passing final exam.
Well guess we just have to ban acces for vets the first 2 weeks, ore make all new account immune for tag,

They should ban veterans from the game when game is released.
Otherwise it will be unfair.
Moscal in battle, 3 enemy already without any mast, trying to understand wtf happened.
Licioni in battle instance, 5 enemy ships already captured, others running upwind with their snows and brigs, Lici behind them.
Liq in his carro Belle Poulle, circling around 3 enemies, enemy knows it is not gonna be good, 1 is already sinking.
Nothing will change, u need to ban veterans to make it level ground. It will be only deceivingly level at the start of release, few minutes after start nothing will be level
Well we could put s nerf on them just for a couple of years👍

I'm not against adding an unlimited amount of purely cosmetic DLCs but ship knowledge DLC would be absolutely ridiculous... might aswell call it World of Sailing Warships, make it free2play and add premium SOLs for 40 bucks a pop that smash any other.
Either they keep ship knowledge and don't wipe it or they remove it completely and permanently. Same goes for books / skill books. Grinding those two out was simply annoying and I don't see myself repeating it, same goes for most people I play with.
Rank xp wipe, despite being advertised otherwise, is fine by me, I understand it would be unfair to have crew for a SOL or 4 Indiamen on day 1... but it really is the limit for me.
But would shipknowledge and book not also be unfair? I mean you will be able to level faster have an advantantage in a PvP fight.

Cant agree more +1
Dont listen to the selfish whiners anymore, they are the minority !!!
Honestly, some of those most vocal complainers, i know ingame and thought they were reasonable gentlemen...may have to change my thoughts about them...
Seriously, i cant hear this "broken promise blablabla" thing anymore !!!
...and most weird thing is that now so many players who were always referring to "dont care, its only pixels", "theres no geargap, only skillgap" and similar statements,, are now the most vocal ones when Devs decided for VERY good reasons to take away "their" stuff...
First of all if you can’t hear the “Broken word” any more maybe not be hear, just a thought.
But it is actually funny. Ppl get banned when they disagree on the matter of a word, go to hard on his characther, but I see it it is ok to call ppl selfish whinners. Go figur.
Trust me when I say ppl is not thinking abouth there own gain, but as much for the hole game both Pro and con for the wipe.
If admin keep saying clean slate, but only says xp, does that make any sence to you?
All ppl want to feel is they get a straight answer, to know what devs actually want.
They have in the 2 years I player shifted forth an back betewen hardcore and softcore. Now they are on a hardcore mode. I have woundret why. My guess is now, so they can sell ships in both 4,3,2 rate as dlc ships, proberbly not 1 rate.
I actually would like to know how they see the final game. They say we are close to move it out of EA, so they must now by now.

wipe all but not the ship knowledge slots please. ship grinding is very boring.
Well it will imo have to go. But could be a nice dlc.

They have to make a total wipe, Names can stay maybe, but only with players that have been logged in 30 days before lunch.
I do think the Pandora is a poor choise for the EA tester, with the new Dlc ships. Though I don’t know it stats. Maybe a 4 rate and make redeem once a weekend.
But first of all I would just feel truth in what is going to happend. Personally I belive it will be a total wipe.

NA is our first game. We never made massive multiplayer games before
This promise stopped making sense, and everyone knows that It is better to launch in the clean slate. PVP server will be wiped.
It is a great litmus test which shown everyone the landsmen who only care about their XP and do not really care about the game. Its good for the long term health of the forums and that the community that they will be leaving.I am fine with wipe. Not so fine with broken words. But I lived long enough to know things changes, but if your word should make any sence it should be a total wipe. Actually I am just waiting for you to announce it. Right now I personally feel you hold that back, so ppl will play until release. Thats my biggesr issue.
The key word : Clean slate.

So you blame devs that they did it on purpose? Shame! Sure it's always bad to revert a promise. But I don't know any mmo where pre testers could keep their assets. Stuff like that is bad for a release glad devs noticed.
Well if thats the truth abouth EA games, wouldn’t devs not know that too? If thats the case they should never have made the promise.
Problem is partly for this game most, but who would in the future trust GL on other EA games. From no on they can write what they want, we all know we only will know what is what on the day on release.

64000 doubloons for a first rate.
Probably around 32000 for a buc.
Around 19000 for a bellona.
There is no way we can have a healthy rvr with such prices.
Yes and no. If the price is very high, it can go 2 ways. those that have are just seal clubbing the rest, ore they only will be used in the really important ports. we proberbly will see fewer in ow. Then we will have a RvR fights for ports from 2600-5000, where 1 rates proberbly wont be. The shallow might also be an hotspot to. But what happens depends on how ppl react. Personally I think oure biggest problem is that even for small unimportant ports have ppl been screened out, smaller nations on a constant treath from losing ports just next to there capitol, so they try to do nothing to fly under the radar.
Every time I think about this I end up in conflict with my self. One part of me like this is a war server, then the other part of me think abouth average Joe. Honnest to god, I have no idea how to balance so both parts can be happy.

Oh my, so much drama.
Final wipe on release is most probably months away, and whatever it finally is will be the same for all.
Personally i'm happy books will be kept, the other stuff doesn't take so long really. Rank/craft xp are quite quick to skill through and ship slots although will take time everybody will be in the same situation.
It does make me chuckle a bit when i read "i bought the game so...." , we all bought the game and knew it was Early access so would be wipes along the way. Yes ofc last year i started a thread about what would remain on final wipe, and things have changed some from that answer but isn't the end of life as we know it as some say.
People need to step back from rant mode i think, but probably won't happen. All this from a game community that is on average i expect older than your usual game crowd is kinda hillarious really.
Ofc you can’t keep books. Make no sence. Fresh start for all. Just wait and see. Yes admin said so, but my guess he will be wiser close to release, and wupti they are gone.
Expect all to be gone, because thats what happens. So from now and til then, just play the parts you think is fun. No need to try to get anything, because it will be gone.
So just play, have fun, take s break if thats what you need.

Crazy.
Im deeply disappointed with @admin.
Why? The plan always was to get Sol’s to be expensive, to have them out of OW. With the new damage model and clan restriction, if you want just some balance in OW, Sol have to be expensive, so only used for important pb’s. But I do think @admin made a mistanke that part. First of all they are still cheap enough so you will see full fleets, Second with Bellona and Wasa being bought rather cheap for CM, we will see an OW for the best and one for avarage joe.

Yes. Static timer at the towns would completely solve the night timer problem once and forever. @admin should think about that. Or maybe they already did? There would be parts of US, EU and what else onto the map. The map itself is big enough for that. Every time zone needs its ressources and the port would be more valuable.
What would be the benefits that not allready can be solved with timers to day? I have a hard time see that it would make a huge differet, so plz make me a wiser man. Atm I have no belief, neither for ore against.

Then stop being such a negative nancy because you do not know either. Or do you just like complaining and pulling assumptions out of your buttocks just sending negative waves every which direction because you are not getting your way?
I can't actually see I am negative. I stated what I think the games will bee with the changes that devs are putting it and how i think they will continue. For some it will be god(PvP/RvR ppl) for avarage joe harder. But Devs have before changes what he wants, so you are right, nobody can know, neither can I. But for now the changes that made is for a more hardcore war server, admin allready stated he wanted to put war in to the war server.
But lets see. PvP/RvR Avrage Joe
Clan restrich wood Good Negative
Shipsnote Combat medalion Good Negative
New RoE Good both good and bad
New damage model Favor disadvantage
Permits for ships Favor Disadvantage
Change in PZ Equal Negativ
Do you disagree with any of the above. Btw what is my way. I for now only play casual, redeem my herc, when it is gone I log off. maybe once a week, I go in a smal hunting group for some Ow PvP. So I am I guess a guy that neither benefits ore lose much. It is a Meh patch for me. Wont bring me back for real, neither push me out of the game. If you have read a bit of my post you actually would read I think those changes put in by devs is in sync with the gameplay they want. i can disagree with the way they go ore agree, but I think it is nice to see a clear direction. And imo it is a gameplay thats favor the PvP/RvR players at the cost of avrage joe. But that dosent have to be negative ore bad.

Guess everyone are building ships now, so it will be long time to that impact
Indeed they are. I have about 40 ships in ports.

I am average joe and I am doing just fine thank you
Have I said average joe wouldnt? just said his basic function in this game is to be killed. But lets talk in a couple of month. Nobody have yeth felt the impact of the new direction the game is going. Not even to after the first wipe. All have plenty of ships. When they are gone, and first then we will see the impact.

As you can understand, that is too time consuming and potentially frustrating (because of luck) for a playerbase which doesnt think of a game as a second job.
It may be a good way of playing for some roleplaying rovers of the sea though.
@admin should not forget that his target should be the average player with 2-3 hours every day. And the fact that rvr fuels pvp.
F.uck rvr and the other related activities will drop too. I believe the drop on population after patch 27 proved enough my point.
Lets not repeat past mistakes, again.
His target is not the average man. He wants a game for Pvp/RvR players. Why do you think every pacth favores those groups. Average Joe only have one role in this game. Be killed.

Atm books are staying. Better for you?
Just sound closer to the truth. By not makeing any statement, nobody can be disappointet. Fact is if admin want to changes this in to a game abouth dressing Dolls, Well then it Will. We actually dosent know if it ever get out of EA.

You don't know that. @admin said that. But as we know now. It only goes until he changes his mind. So until the day the game is released we don't know anything. Until yesterday I thought xp would stay.

We declared that statement in 2015. We repeated the promise multiple times every year, planning to keep it because it made sense then. And even defended it when many loyal supporters we asking for the wipe, making many of them angry.
And many loyal supporters is for keeping it. So not going back on your word, you just make them happy.
But it indeed stopped making sense. And we are upfront saying this in advance - this promise no longer make sense thus it will be retracted for the pvp server. This is how your message reads to me: keep the stupid promise that stopped making sense, even if it is not good for the game.Thats an opinion. Others disagree with you. You dont find any that is asking for something they think is bad for the game. Both pro and con players are dedicated and love this game and want it to succed. Lots just think you are going on the wrong part. Lots think you are right. Guess time will show us who was right.
Reset does not make sense on the PVE server - thus PVE server won't be reset
Reset makes a lot of sense on the War server - … lets do what makes sense.Make sense to some ppl.
But even you should be able to understand why ppl get upset. Large part of Oure game play have been based on your repeted promise.
Now i know I just wasted time. And yes some of the grind was not all fun. Still love NA. But after this I will have a hard time to ser my self take part EA game from GL in the future.
Personally I feel like that promise just was made to keep ppl playing untill release. I have no fact to back it up, but thats how I feel.

Exciting times ahead - pre-release wipes information

@admin you increased the dificulty on group missions, where they to easy before?
I also see we now basicly can’t buy upgrades for dbl. I know it makes those that drops in port more vanuable, and ofc PvP. I though doubt in will have any positive effect on ppl want to go do PvP. We proberbly will see they usual suspect. I honnest to god fear if you keep this up peach server will be bigger than war server.
