The game craves for a tiny minority of people, hence for the rest the changes are terrible.
We keep hearing excuses about its due to being realistic and hardcore. yet we can choose firemode and hit like a sniper.

When revenge fleets went into a full retard frenzy mode, the vast majority of my friends and especially solo players quit the game. It was before they added invisibility and OW speed boost and it's the reason why they added it. All my statements are based on past experience and conclusions made in past from all mechanics we tested and experienced. I don't want 100% safety, but the fact that enemies can keep retagging me in OW battle after battle, but they cannot get me in the actual battle means something is wrong, right? If the enemies can't beat you or get you after 2-3 fights, why they can drag you into 5-6 battles one after the another?
The nature of revenge fleets is so fake and unnatural, enemies spread around the battle location creating a huge network around it. They know the exact battle position, they know where you will spawn in OW, they know when you will spawn.
Being able to singlehanded run away from 10+ other players or even defeat them in battle is more unrealistic.
I find it funny how your friends quit due to that, have you ever thought about how many on the "other side" have quit due to people like you want a Hello Kitty ultra Carebear deluxe experience?

I'm not sure if the guys from DNP understand the paradox of revenge fleets and never-ending retagging. It ruins the game. Being attacked and dying in a battle is one thing, but getting killed after being tagged 3-6 times is a different story. The fact that person you fought died and comes back for revenge battle after 5 minutes in the new ship is also illogical. That's the reason why we had in battle screen "teleport to port" option in past. It wasn't a perfect solution, but it solved the famous revenge fleets. I remember KPR revenge fleets with 10-20 players fleets waiting for 1-2h for enemies to login or leave the battle. That was just sick. Basically, the hunters had to log out for 2-3h or come back to the game the next day to be able to play and not die.
If someone can survive/win several fights, he should be able to get safely away. The battle starts at point X and always ends at the same point. You travel X distance in a battle, what happens to that? It doesn't matter?
So you ask for a free get out of jail card. In short, easy mode.
You selected to kill someone in their reinforcement zone or close to it. Easy target, yet you don't want the trouble that follows.

I would also like to see the sniping ability fire from ships removed as well. Maybe random fire only without seeing what cannon shoots next. No aim and double the dispersion.

The problem is much deeper than just 1st rates. Its the entire fleet composition.
Even if we got the inflation hit 1st rates stopped, it would just move down. 25 bucs etc instead of 25 oceans.
Maybe the battles themselves should be limited in slot types, PBs also reworked. Say a battle could only contain 2 first rates from each side, maybe 3 or 4 2nd rates and so on. 3rd 1st rate trying to join the battle gets left outside.

Agreed. Determined defender is cancer.
Now is it? We can see the demast/turn and board group isn't doing so well. If boarding wasn't so stupid and overpowered we could maybe talk about it.
We have captured countless 1st rates via boarding from smaller ship and it´s not much of a skill effort.
-
It doesn't help to cap 1st rate amounts in docks. First of all you hit crafters. Secondly people can just instant craft another. And for the third it just penalizes people that didn´t open more dock slots.

Traders can use escorts, guns, good mods, they have 1000 ways to defend themselves, but most of the time they sail defenceless and careless. It's like taking a ship with no guns, no repairs and complaining about a fair fight... Logic? I killed lots of hunters in my trader.
Do you think it's ok to be forced into fighting others for 4-6 hours until death? Fair question. You win a battle or get away and you're forced to next and next and next. No chance to get home quit game, log out, whatever. Most of the players would just give up or surrender at that point...
That's what the surrender option is there for. Get home fast. If you want Hello Kitty mode on then we can start to backtrack on all the changes. Or you can play on the PvE server. I get you like the changes in your favour but not when it goes the other way. That´s just asking for an easy mode game.

I like the idea of having to move money around and to return with any loot in form of gold and marks.
Sure for the carebear crowd it may not be funny. But there is no rule that all ports should be taken.
Same goes with upgrades, no captain chest and funny instant movement around. All the teleport BS kills the economy.

Well play another game lol. The game is for hardcore players who love the hardcore game, not for the developers money or for players who don’t see the developers game to be fun. If the game ain’t for you, it ain’t for you, move on and stop whining.
Hardcore players? The game seems to be more hello kitty than ever for the so called "hardcore" players. One easy mode patch after the other.
"We get killed to chain, limit it"
"We cant gank and outnumber people enough in safe zones, limit it!"
Don't try and tell me this is hardcore when you advocate for carebears online in your favour. The reinforcement zone is a problem for the defender, not any kind of help. -
Limit all repairs to 2 repairs combined.

its very tempting. but we talked to several players we trust who craft A LOT and opinions are mixed.
but its indeed tempting. Rob a player - carry gold to port, no more magic wallet.Gotta love when a small group dictate the game and you wonder why players flee.
How about some content for once. or fix some of the countless bugs in the game. Like AI doesn't shoot if you are close, AI sails through the land etc.

If you barely move out? Definitely empty.
Lets try again. Login/teleport to a place with no other players. 0 AI, wait 15-30mins for them to spawn.
Is it easier to understand now?

While this is true there's always AI if you are the only player in a spot. Tested it to exhaustion. There was always AI, traders and warship fleets. Maybe not the easy peasy type of warships but enough to keep anyone entertained.
If you jump into the area or just logon its empty for quite a while.

Jump out of port hit an AI fleet , you have numerous outposts with numerous ai fleets outside for a quick fight or to test a new build or speed of a new ship.
Sometimes I think people see problems that aren’t truly there.
Why would you need to spend hours doing that?
AI fleets only spawn if there is players. If you jump to a random remote outpost there will be nothing until they start spawn.

You are making a flawed statement. Think about it
You say limited chain will increase online drop.
There are two states of the game- One with limited chain
- Another with unlimited chain
Something must be preferred by players and one is definitely better than another.
You post online numbers and say they are falling. But chain shot is not limited currently.
Inferring from your argument (using 1st year logic) this means Unlimited chain shot is the reason of online fall?
Using your logic further - limited chain will cause online to go up? Because it falls currently with unlimited chainLesson of all this. Online will fluctuate. I want more tactical depth in chain use and will add it to the game despite if you want brainless clicker heroes chaining
Online is falling because there is no advertising and random players who stumble to forums see hating posts from you and decide to wait.
Let me ask you this then, who asked for this change? What demographic? How large a population?

If you wish to fix something completely unrealistic, then start by removing the crew resurrection and cannon recreation with repairs.
And then remember the sniper cannon accuracy as well.

We doubt that chain shot has such huge correlation with online . I am sure you are just exaggerating because of passion
But In fact online numbers are completely irrelevant for me during early access.
They are going to continue going up and down between 200-700 during early access every patch
The game is dead post early access unless something big happening. And that isn´t to cater to 25-50 people when they whine about being chained when they wanted easy kills.
And we all know from history how these kind of changes affects the game. then you can backtrack on the changes later while losing about part of the ever diminishing population and more complaints about not being able to find a battle.

I'm sorry, but if you have nothing smart to add, remain silent and stop insulting. Maybe @Lars Kjaer will calm you down. Players from Prussia can confirm my claims about Epic Events, I've been doing them since Devs added them to the game, just ask:.
I get that you got the stuff you need. And the less the plebs have the better your chance is to kill them. I mean you can only win certain ways and if the game go that way its fine. But then the amount of players left will be very small.

Casual PVP? Naval action is not a casual game. In fact we always said IT IS NOT CASUAL.
Naval Action is a hardcore, realistic, and beautifully detailed naval combat sandbox immersing players into the experience of the most beautiful period of naval history - when sailing ships ruled the seas.You can cater for the 2% crowd as much as you want but your game is dead then.

How many DLCs are you going to try sell to the same 25-50 people and their alts?

every player can demast, they just have to learn it
So you wish to replace chaining with demasting? Then just remove chaining all together.

I've done about 30 Epic Events, maybe more and there is no need to chain AI.
You posted more BS than any other player. That's about it.

Next big patches: Real currency and Open world user interface update

Wonder why? Just look at the changes that a certain tiny crowd keeps demanding.
Since noobs learned to pick determined defender I guess that one may be removed again soon. But for the socalled self proclaimed hardcore PvPers a fight with 1-2 with a couple of AIs on their side vs a PvE fitted player is what they think is the perfect game. No wonder why the server is bleeding players like crazy.
Something like 1/3rd of the entire server population are alts at this time that either fish for bottles or do AFK trading if they are out of port at all.
