  1. I would really like to see an indicator on the compass to tell us which direction, relative to the ship, we are looking when using the spyglass. Especially in the Open World when trying to spot sails on the horizon. I often look around, spot a landmark or sails, then let go of LShift and "oops, where was it again??" and have to scout the horizon again. The only indicator in the game now is just how the camera moves relative to the waves. Sure this works, but it's not optimal. I would suggest something like this: The yellow lines indicate direction you are looking as a sort of "Field of View" indication. Would make life just a tiny bit easier on the waves.
  2. I want it to be ready before May 17th... which is the Norwegian constitution day... and since May 17th 1814 is when Norway and Denmark split up and Norway went into a union with Sweden, I was planning to celebrate it by sinking Danish ships since while sailing under Swedish colors.
  3. I'm confused. First it was late April. Then it was rumored to beginning of May. Now the last thing I read is May 15th? I saw the curves on players as well and I'm one of those who left the game. I have zero motivation to continue playing knowing any and all progress will be swept away whenever the wipe hits. I'm sure there are many, many others who feel the same way as me. That said... I'm eager to play again. So is it final, May 15th? Or have I missed more information somewhere? I just want to sail again and SailAway on Steam doesn't give me all that I need... like gunpowder...
  4. Steam forums as well as reviews are generally a cesspool of completely misinformed or misguided behavior. I trust a game review from a homeless alcoholic more than I trust Steam. Half the negative reviews are in the category of "Couldn't skip tutorial so I quit the game. Sucks. Avoid! Pls rate my review!" However, glad to see the developers are alert enough and on the ball to address damaging reviews like the one that led to this thread in the first place.
  5. Speak for yourself. Seal clubbing new players is an "activity" looked down upon by anyone doing some actual PvP in that game. There are some who brag about how they ripped off newbies or podded them and the only thing they ever achieved was losing all respect and being put last for any ongoing event with the corporation or alliance.
  6. So seems nothing can be done so far as restoring what I deleted. I'm too demoralized from this and too overwhelmed by the hours and effort needed to get things back so I will be moving on from this game at this point. Good luck and strong winds to everyone.
  7. Just don't do the mistake I did and delete the wrong character. Double and triple check that you are on the right server before you delete the old character and create a new one. Labour Hours being reset means Labour Hours are set to 0 (you lose all the hours). So best to spend all the hours first before you make a new character, even if spending the hours is just stuff like getting resources out of buildings, crafting a bunch of notes or making a bunch of carriages for later.
  8. I appreciate that offer Elric. My intention was never to switch to Pirate on the PvE server though. I dunno how trading works from pirates on PvE to another faction on PvE. I had made a US character on PvP 1... then decided I rather wanted to play Pirates... so I wanted to change from US to Pirates. On the PvE server I am (well... was ) on the DK/NO faction and had no intention of changing that. Was hoping it would be possible to revert my PvE Pirate back to my PvE DK/NO. I know I don't lose the rank and crafting level, but I had many blueprints and had been working for a long time to get money and ships to put together the outposts and buildings and having the materials to be able to craft ships for friends too Right now I am just not touching anything in hopes something can be done. If nothing can be done though I probably need a break for awhile to try and find the motivation to start rebuilding everything...
  9. I could pull something out of a hat and blame a vengeful younger brother who logged onto my account or something, but I will be completely honest... this is completely my own fault, but can anything be done to restore the character on the PvE server? I was going to delete my character on PvP 1 EU and change it to Pirates to get started on that server. Character name on both servers were the same (same as here on forum) which is why this mistake happened. Once I misclicked on PvE server instead of PvP the damage was done... Instead of remaking the character on the PvP server I have accidentally deleted my character on the PvE server, which is where I had the most progress, crafting recipes, ships, warehouses, gold, outposts, buildings... well... basically everything since I started playing the game well over a year ago. Again.. I know this is entirely my own fault, and also that this is an early access/alpha game so wipes or changes are bound to happen and we may lose everything at some point. However this huge mistake doesn't just affect me personally but also others who invested time and materials to help me raise the crafting level to help build ships for them... so this is a huge setback for them too and I don't even know to begin to explain this to them... The magnitude of how bummed out I am from this once I realized what I have done can't even be put into words If anything can be done... please...
  10. How do you tell which ID is which Port, Item, etc? Is there a cross reference list somewhere?
  11. No... tried to attack NPC fleet with my friend and it can't be done. Always enter solo and friend can't enter same battle. We tried, literally, everything and nothing worked. Re:
  12. I don't understand this bit... Missions are literally the only group activity we can do on PvE server currently. We can't attack ships together in the Open World (re: other threads I made on that subject). By removing missions what will there be for players to do on PvE as a team / fleet then? Don't misunderstand me, I don't mind playing on PvP servers. However some days I want to just relax or do some sailing inbetween other activities around the house (chores anyone) and not want to risk being attacked while AFK. Or we are trying to introduce new players to the game or some friends who rarely get to play are on and just want to have some group fun so we play on PvE. By removing the missions there will be nothing to do as a group anymore :/ Feels like this change is meant to force players to play on PvP as the only activity left on PvE is crafting and solo-attacking NPCs in OW.
  13. I added some images from the movie. http://imgur.com/a/elnbm There are some images of the Amistad itself (as shown in the movie), a couple of the Washington that seized Amistad when it came to the US waters and one image of a random ship in background as well. They all seem like 'legit' ships though, aka not mockups or anything.
  14. I was just watching it today and I noticed they had some different ships in the movie... or maybe the same one just shown from different angles and repainted slightly. Google searching for it came up with nothing. Just loads of websites regarding the Amistad trial, the outcome, the effect on the american Civil War and so on... I thought one of the ships, the survey ship that first found the Amistad after the slaves, looked quite a bit like the Constitution (though maybe smaller perhaps). Really curious which "real life" ship was used in the movie... so... does anyone know??
  15. I really like this Youtube Channel. Has loads of different videos with different military topics from all sorts of different eras throughout history. I've picked out three nice ones that I think you guys will enjoy. There are probably more like it on the same channel if you look. Enjoy
  16. No, we are the same nationality... Denmark Norway... always were. Same group, same ship, same clan, same nation, same location next to the ship we try to attack... same everything... yet... impossible for both to join same battle
  17. It's not just about trading ships. Me and my friend sailed into open waters and engaged a fleet of ships... and still only one entered battle and other was stuck outside... despite the fleet we tagged having higher BR than us. It's just impossible (besides missions) to play with friends in open world and attack fleets. We tried everything we could think of and nothing worked. Only one gets to join.
  18. We are on PvE server. We are in same group. We are in same clan. We are tagging ships in Virgin Islands and Bowenvinds counties, leagues away from the Bahamas rookie areas. We are attacking NPC ships. Neither of us have Smuggler flag on. We are both in Rattlesnakes (total BR100) We always stay in the socalled Pull Circle after tagging and when battle starts. When not getting pulled into combat we click the Battle icon, which says battle closed. We sail into the Denmark-Norway Join Area, battle is still shown as Battle Closed, then disappears. We tried attacking ships from BR10 (traders) to fleets (BR100+). Nothing is working. We just CANT join the same battle together. Missions work fine and can join as group. We used to be able to double team fleets and trader ships in past, so why is this broken now? (Happened in one of the later updates). End result from coming back to game was 2 hours of frustration trying to figure this out. Probably not going to play again until this is fixed. Playing with friends is what makes the game fun. Solo sailing gets old fast. Really, really annoyed at this :/
  19. Does this work the other way around too ? For example.. me and my friend are in Rattlesnakes... BR50... so total BR100. He attacked a Trader Brig, BR10, and I couldn't join... then I attacked a Trader Cutter BR10 and he couldn't join. So do we need to find ships that are BR25 in order for us to attack a BR10 trader ship together?
  20. Why play a game in an alpha state if you can't handle wipes and changes to game? If you disagree with the changes you should provide feedback and not just "No" (assumed: I don't want to lose my ships).
  21. I just saw a photo of this new huge sailship called "Sailing Yatch A". Don't know about you guys... but in my opinion this modern sailing ship looks absolutely horrible compared to the graceful and majestic older ships. Something about the whole design just makes me cringe. It's almost like we forgot how to make proper sailships... or perhaps we actually did... What you guys think of this modern sailship? (below)
  22. So we can vote for Allies... and vote for War.... What happens with all the other factions? E.g. Denmark goes to war with Sweden, and allies with Spain. What standing will Danish captains have with England, US, Verengide and the other they are NOT specifically at War with?
  23. The ones that don't have 5 durability you can get for free
  24. Geh... this is not looking good. Seems no Naval Action for me today then
