I understand the game is still in development, but if they were even thinking about it would they have been so blunt in the old thread?

It's not that I don't enjoy PVP, far from it. But for a sailing game it just frustrates me that we cant sail at any point other than in PVP. I haven't heard anything about the sailing mechanics outside of PVP except that it would be stupid to have OW full time. Maybe something has been said and I missed it, I don't visit the forums as often as others do (on top of that these forums are a bit of a mess so it's difficult to find anything). It doesn't seem like many other players are all that interested in sailing ships though anyways so it might just be a fruitless effort.

I don't enjoy being in the store. The way you put it makes the sailing portion of the game just sound like a long loading screen between shops. You can cut out the middle man and go play a game of Monopoly

That was my point, there's people out there that play flight sims and fly for hours (I remember MSFS had the mission where you flew Lindbergh's plane trans-Atlantic for god knows how long.) I play Railworks which can have missions that can span hours. I got into this game for the sailing thinking that OW was going to just be a bigger place to sail around in, and I was wrong. Not to say the game isn't fun but it could be a lot more fun.

Same OW map, just in singleplayer.

I know the topic has sailed (lol ship puns) but the whole time compression thing still bothers me. At the moment the only way to actually sail the ship is to enter combat. While combat is fun I would really like to explore and sail around on my own... which is why I would like to suggest adding some sort of compression-less free roam for singleplayer. You can't buy or sell things just enjoy the feeling of sailing.

@ Maturin That was my point, at the moment in OW if you sail against (not directly against) the wind with full sails you are at your max speed. If you raise the square sails you slow down instead of speed up, which is the opposite of what I would imagine happening in real life.

@ Maturin Why would you go faster with sails pushing you backwards?

-this -realistic looking/acting sails -raising square sails against the wind increases speed -lights -open/close ports -ship damage due to storms -swivel guns -birds (first/2nd shot scares birds off of ships or other nesting areas) -waves breaking on shore -proper depths near shore -more animations (pretty sure crew & cannons already exist, just thought I'd throw it out there)

I'm down for that, I would have helped take him but by the time he became visible he was going the opposite direction. Also, William thanks for the compliment

Thanks for that, I only have the battle chatlog not the OW chatlog but some of the stuff he said in OW is in the screenshots... I'll keep in mind that there's a report chat function.

This is my first time posting to the Tribunal (shows how well behaved most of the community is). Last night I grouped up with Pastoree, a new player in a Lynx wanting to upgrade to a better ship. We started sailing SW from Matthew Town towards Cuba (that's where all the usual traffic is) and hopped into a battle that started near us, as we saw a privateer in the defending fleet. As soon as we entered the battle we were greeted with "STAY OUT OF MY F%#^ING BATTLES!"... I replied with "somebody's a grumpy pirate" as I sailed towards the privateer. For some reason Eisbrecher (who was in a Constitution by the way) was very offended that we joined in the battle and continued to spout off rude remarks and continued to point out that Pastoree must suck because he is still in a Lynx (he said earlier in OW that he got the Connie in 2 days of starting OW and changed it to 2 hours during the match, not really relevant to the Tribunal but it shows the kind of person we were dealing with). He threatened to TK both of us, but gave up on that after Pastoree told him he would get banned so he stated he would hunt us down in OW and kill us... I told him he couldn't catch the Renommee, so he insisted on sinking the ship that Pastoree was trying to capture. After we got the crew down enough Pastoree was getting into position to board it when Eisbrecher broadsided the ship sinking it. When the battle ended he chased down Pastoree and attempted to sink his Lynx all the while telling Pastoree that he sucked for owning the Lynx. I can't figure out how to add pictures so here is the link to my NA screenshots, it's the last 7 pictures: http://steamcommunity.com/id/B-24Liberator/screenshots/?appid=311310&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall#scrollTop=0

In my steam library naval action says "update queued" I wonder what that means.................................

It's probably coming out to-morrow like the alpha keys usually did for sea trials.

That's true, but the ships in Naval action are usually quite a distance off so it wouldn't make too much of a difference. not like it matters much though since you don't seem to be on the band wagon for adding DoF either. If we end up getting a first person view then depth of field might come into play with the masts & rigging being blurred & the distant ships being crisp (or whatever you're looking at being crisp), not as much as an "artsy" photograph would be... Maybe just a slight touch of blurriness.

I meant the parking lot thing that (I think) was directed at me.

As LeBoiteux said, tilt shift is an effect. I'd like the game to look realistic, not artsy/photoshopped. I'm not sure what Henry was getting at.

In broad daylight your pupils will be very narrow like if you had your camera set to F:16 or so. Due to this, there would be very little DoF during daylight hours. If we had higher DoF during night time or a storm that might be cool, but I don't know how difficult it would be to code.

It's almost 2:1 in favor of getting this now, I wonder if it will end up getting added with open world?

I can never seem to get this forum to work properly, a bit frustrating anyhow... In response to Jerimiah: Some of us have computers that are perfectly capable of running high end games, and if we have the capability we would like the option to have more detail. They'll probably have some sort of option to raise/lower the amount of crew on ships to help people with less powerful PC's run with better FPS.

Why not throw in sliders for filling cargo space with materials aka; wood, nails, sail material, etc... so that we aren't repairing off the silly repair system but off of the raw supplies our ship can carry (plus whatever cargo we can hold in open world). Just my 2 cents.

Another thing that would be cool to add to the storm maps is the wind whipping up a bit of a spray off the tops of waves.

I'd rather not see rainbow sails with cupcakes & unicorns on them. I came here to realistically sail ships. Part of realism is having the ships look like ships of the period, which means no hotrod flames, rainbows, neon colors, etc... Have the sailing ships look like sailing ships, if you want to add historical or historically plausible decorations in I'd be fine with that but don't let people sail around in neon colored rainbow ships.

Seems like a lot of people want the gunfire
