  1. Close Action is a must for any age of sail enthusiast.
  2. Petrov

    Huge FPS drop

    please lets not start a fps debate... Anyway, sometimes with new patches, graphics settings get reset. Maybe check the settings.
  3. Pretty much. We had zero intention of actually planting the flag. We were looking for PVP pure and simple. If mechanics were there so that allies could join in the port battle, it would have been a different story probably.
  4. It's still showing in Tribunal for me.... This is not against the current rules, so no tribunal should have been made. I don't think the captured ship is considered "green" by the game unless you take command. But I agree, the mechanic needs some work.
  5. Please close this thread or relocate it to suggestions forums. This not a tribunal case. The issue is that the OP is ok with competing for the Brit trader. But competing should also mean to shoot at the French who decided to come in. Realize that the current mechanics blocks the French from shooting at you as well, so you are on equal terms. Yes I agree the mechanic is somewhat odd and needs fine tuning. To the OP, posting this in the suggestions forums without name calling would have resulted in a much better discussion imo. Why bring this to tribunal? You were solo hunting in enemy contested waters...what did you expect?
  6. All this forum PVP makes for a interesting read... I think it's important to note that without proper diplomatic mechanics in game, no person or group of people speaks for a entire nation. We do not have nations. What we have is anarchy. Different clans, with different goals, different strategies across all nations. The nation that can unify its player base towards a single goal and strategy will have the advantage. Of course there's the whole numbers advantage, but that is a separate discussion
  7. I love exploring, but I'm not going to get anywhere because no XP is gained. Make exploring a type of mission.
  8. This. Missions need to be more then just go kill this other AI. Exploration, courier etc. Make people have to travel the map and risk being caught in PVP. Risk vs reward should be properly balanced. For the first few missions, yes make them close to port and easy, but after that, it needs more.
  9. But once you are in any other ship other then free cutter, you loose it right? Yes, I've been in a few small PVP battles and it's early sea trials all over again....no teamplay, no chat, just pure grind XP to the next ship.
  10. Had to reboot, and just let steam do its thing....it updated after 5 mins or so.
  11. same here. Never had this issue with steam before. Verified local files usually pushes the update but nothing.
  12. That's why I was questioning. I can't really see any actual fun gameplay being in a storm, unless they implement many different scripted events. I just don't think it is really worth the time and effort at this point. Anyone who sailed in sea trials on storm map trying to get that last AFK player upwind will probably understand.
  13. but what is the game play once you are in this storm instance? What do you have to do to make this a fun experience if you are stuck for 30mins+ alone in the instance.
  14. So true. I really hope to see this again in the current OW. Large scale PVP battles. It's where the game really shines.
  15. There's nothing hard about the way it currently is, its just not efficient. The only problem I can see is people spamming "TAB" to locate ships, but really not a big deal. Its a age of sail game, most of the time the enemy can be minutes away. There is maybe a technical limitation, where you can "tab" a ship on the other side of the island and that's why the DEVS did it the way it is now. That would seem very gamey to me.
  16. I agree. I've been suffering from tendinitis in both hands for a few months now and it's the main reason why I haven't played OW much or any other game for that matter. I've really come to see just how much unnecessary clicking and moving of the mouse we have to do. Lets be clear, hold right click to move around, spot a target then try to left click the tiny pixel sail, then have to move to then click the Hail button has nothing to do with skill. It's just annoying and unnecessary. At a minimum, hail should be automatic when you click on a sail without the need to do the button. Using something like "tab" to target a ship in you line of sight and automatically hail would seem like a more efficient way. Also make the mouse look around like in the battle instance.
  17. I'm running Win 7. No issues. Both the OP and the other user having these issues have a Asus Rampage mobo. Could be a issue with that, but not likely.
  18. Probably already did some of these...but worth a try. - Try/test different in game settings. - Re install latest Nvidia drivers, but select custom install. Make sure to check the fresh install option - close all unnecessary background programs, especially virus scanners. - You may want to consider a fresh Windows install - You may want to try a older or borrow a different vid card to test - You may want to consider updating bios as someone has suggested. Just make sure you know what you are doing if you will try this. Keep in mind, this is a alpha and there's a possibility the game has a issue with your setup for whatever reason. Good luck.
