Thanks!

The North American landmass is done... Takes some time to draw all of this stuff.

Thanks! Worked on it a bit more this morning.

I started just playing around with making a map and am pretty happy with the results thus far. Being a Pirate I started mapping out the area around Mortimer and may turn into a little project to do the whole Caribbean. Although it looks like I've been beaten to the punch with some other maps (or a whole forum dedicated to them). Would any of you guys use something like this? I'm basing the land masses off an old chart from the 1800's, so it's not 100% accurate but I think that's part of the fun of playing in this era. The map thus far:

Maybe once one is "made" you have to wait a week or so to actually get it.

I've talked with some people already about how Pirates are treated like a nation in this game. And, I'm probably in the minority here but here's what I think. Being a Pirate I consistently see other Pirates sailing around in SOL's and heavy Frigates. I've always been under the impression pirates sailed things like Brigs or other ships around that size. I remember there being some talk pre release about limiting pirates to certain ships, I think that should be implemented. Pirates should be able to cap & keep ships (AI & Player) but are only allowed a very small amount of crew to man them, or allow people to rank up higher in Pirates but MUCH slower to avoid seeing everyone in SOL's. Also with ports, I think that Pirates should just get random ports scattered across the map and just replace free ports with pirate ports. Make them uncappable, but anyone can enter. So: Limit Pirate crews Replace Free ports with Pirate Ports (maybe add a few more in between) What are your thoughts?

Snows can be very useful if used properly.

There are plenty of people who enjoy sailing ships other than a SOL.

or make some form of noise

Don't add in a "new" mode, just throw it in port with the rest of the battles. My problem is Open World KILLS immersion for me, I had a lot more fun in sea trials not sailing around at 50mph. Plus you were guaranteed to fight with players and with no consequences (although a lot of people still ran from the fights for some reason...) which made for some pretty fun fights.

I like the idea of bringing back sea trials but I don't think you should earn anything from it, nor should you lose anything from it (as you do currently in the "battles").

I want to have some piraty/naval sounding harpsichord music to add to my sailing soundtrack. If anybody knows of any I'd be glad to add it

I'm not sure it's being fully understood what DW is experiencing. -He hasn't redeemed his ships yet. -They only show up in the redeemables tab on the EU server. -Nothing shows up on the US server. It was to my understanding that the redeemables were available on any server until redeemed, correct?

Is it possible to fix this problem? I got my redeemables across all the servers until I redeemed them.

Maybe to get around the conquest people you could make it so anyone from any server can join a port battle and conquests on both servers are linked.

I was ignoring this problem but since I'm forced to play on PVP 2 (due to an 11 hour wait on PVP1) I'm back to being a bit frustrated with it. What if you only allow people to swap servers once a week? Similar to how teleport to capitol works. Playing with friends will still be a pain in the butt, but much less of one. I don't like taking steps backwards and I feel many of the newcomers might be discouraged when they are unable to join the server they spent hours working on over the past few days only to have to start over again to-day.

Ships? Supplies? Equipment? Outposts?

And unfortunately we can't have our progress saved to join other servers. I have to choose starting completely over or waiting 11.5 hours to play

Oh. Well, thanks for the nice comments everyone

?

I started doodling the Victory last night and the picture turned out looking pretty good. So I did another to-day of the Belle, figured I could share them with you guys

OW is pretty much all 3rd person, unless you use the free cam.
