  1. I think they exist on the PvE server. And there is one thing you can't through your thick head - this game has only one thing going for it and that's PvP combat, there is nothing else to do in it. You really want a different game than what naval action is and will be.
  2. The game would be better off with all the diplomats playing on the PvE server. You can then have alliances with the AI and everyone is happy.
  3. It should sail as it sailed in real life, none of this magic bull! Get those oars out boys.
  4. I don't know if you noticed but the Sun rises at 2am - I was told they did this because players complained the night was too long and too dark. If they added the moon that might change that, but yeah I don't want to crank up my gamma setting to be able to see anything.
  5. And what purpose would 5th rates have then? This is not a simple change because it would render a whole bunch of ships useless.
  6. 99 galleys and i see quite a few got sunk too, that's versus a ship of the line that's anchored in port. Please do make this possible in NA, it seems the SoL didn't get rageboarded so quickly huh?
  7. I think admin just drops a bomb here and there to detract people from asking about the status of THE patch, kind of like this thing here
  8. I'm more interested in status report for this 'economy/UI' patch, this stuff does not pique my interest at all.
  9. I think we should be able to get free ships from the navy... What kind of a naval officer buys his own ship, or even worse, makes it from scratch?! Also, I will not be buying any DLC ships, the 2 already in the game are dumb enough.
  10. I'd like to get attached to my ship, for now I treat them like underwear. But I don't see how that could be implemented.
  11. It's been a while since I've been in such a big battle, it reminds me why the game is fun about 2% of the time. GF
  12. It's like you know, soccer/football, when you kick the ball you give it a spin so that you know where it will go. Firing cannon balls from 19th century cannons is like kicking the ball with your toes without any spin where you have no freaking idea where it will go eh? Stop saying that in history they 'single shot' cannons at a mast and managed to bring them down because that definitely never happened. It's a crutch because it takes less time to take down masts than to sink someone, k?
  13. I'm not sure he knows that you can kill a requin through the bow or stern leaving his armour intact but taking all the structure. The stern is tricky, it will bounce balls unless you find that sweet spot.
  14. Masts would fall, most of the time, due to rigging damage, some masts got shot off too, of course, pure luck or lots of cannonballs. Smoothbore iron-cast cannon and a ball, you can't predict the flight path of that projectile, that's called the Magnus effect. In this wikipedia image the backspin of the ball causes it to drop. We have this 'dispersion' which I guess is supposed to mimic this but obvious it works only on broadsides, single shots don't seem to be affected by this.
  15. I'm positive the devs knew exactly what they were putting into the game. How could they not have known that these ships would cause trouble?
  16. When I looked earlier Friday was supposed to be 24C but then that changed. So yeah those weather forecasts = fake news.
  17. ReaperPT: vai a merda only then he told you to .... Are you trying to tribunal yourself?
  18. I think vazco got sunk by a fleet of xebecs while trying to kite them upwind.
