  1. Wait, theres a collision bell in the game?
  2. Would love the Amazon to win wild card, lol. Well placed gunwise.
  3. Thanks for the comment, wasnt sure if i was being OTT or anything with it, took me a good while to write up. And yeah as i dont think i made it clear, i love the game, want you guys to do well which is why i wrote it, i just want to help this game succeed
  4. (as the original threads been locked anyway) I know, topic titles a little extreme but i cant think of 1 thats better and dragging things about isnt helpful but this is something i personally feel strongly about because its something that can make/break groups. I have to be honest, if i had not bought the game and just came across many of the posts by the dev team i would be concerned about the route the community could go down because i have seen it go badly in the past, for the comments below i am basing it off past history and i would suggest recruiting perhaps from the community to get the role filled, even ask for a volunteer to do it, i have done it years ago for free for small groups, it can be exceptionally helpful. After last night, i have to say that it is something that might be needed. Subpoint: Devs needs to have an official title only they can use ingame, a colour could work, but would have issues for identifying which side they are on in battle. 1. Public relations/Tribunal (easier together) Firstly, from what happened last night and from whats happened in other instances (not as bad ofcourse) outside the tribunal area i would suggest that the company look into hiring/recruiting somebody out the community who can be diplomatic to talk on their behalf to become an official face for the company with reguards to dealing with this(or have 2 people or something, the community isnt to big... yet), especially with a known name instead of the ominous "Admin" tag which from what i have heard could be 1 person or several, if several it leads to schizophrenic posting should multiple admins be using it. This person would be diplomatic and able to communicate with the community in a way that would be helpful and be open to the community. Paid or voluntary works, but it would help prevent things happen in the future and could be from anywhere. Threatening/abusing people shouldnt be acceptable, even if you dislike them if you are an official member of a team, not only does it look bad on the person themself but the team as a whole, when you see official team accounts calling people names and being threatening (even if provoked) then it can be seen as bad. Warning people yes, ofcourse, but tone is pretty important especially when typing, took me years to finally tune my language on forums for this. This is especially bad if you have a member condemning a good say, 30 people as guilty in a battle as it makes innocent people highly defencive. Insults shouldnt be accepted from the team either, it looks bad and can be damaging over time. Sometimes an insult at 1 can be read as an insult to many or worse, you could target somebody who is innocent and be abusive towards them. Lastly, the way people were told they should report others and what looked like demands of why they dont report others looked extremely threatening to me as a player, i would suggest dont cause fear amongst the community for forcing them to report on other players or at least let them do it without being seen, some people dont want the grief or hassle of having to report others within their own community thats formed and would rather have things be smooth without needing to be named, i would suggest having a hidden tribunal area also for those whom would rather be anonymous from which perhaps if its not specific or if the user wants, the customer rep can copy and paste a visable thread for the tribunal to happen from, this way 1)the player doesnt have to feel worried about reprisal even if its passive aggressive on TS or something and 2) dont need to deal with the flak of reporting it. Lastly, i know some are fine with it, but i would suggest not naming and shaming people punished, it can look bad from the outside as it can come off as petty in the eyes of some people. I would also say requiring people to make public apologies is kinda OTT also, no need to make people embarassed more by having it be public, a private apology in some instances should be enough, a large company generally gets away with it, but a smaller company needs to look like they have the high ground. 2. Update patches First, great job at least telling us when things go on. However, i would suggest a small change as to this of having more accurate numbers, when we are told "ships are slowed down" its nice to know, but having some kind of arbitrary scale to go off would help greatly in knowing how to find a bug, for example 18 pounder should reload in 35 seconds without crew focusing on guns, having that kind of information would be helpful as we can then go ingame and fire, time it and say "it isnt actually working, its firing every 30 seconds every 3 volleys" or "its firing every 40 seconds like before the change didnt get in", theres always mistakes in patches even for AAA games, this would heavily improve the communities ability to test, simple step but looks more effective from the outside looking in (ie those who didnt buy the game yet think "oh, they give alot of detail") and the community doesnt need to play 20 questions as to "constitution turning changed" as to how it changed for example XD (this is an example btw dont jump on it, lol) 2.1 I would resuggest a forum addition giving us subcatagories for each ship/type to make discussion more friendly over the ships and we can then do more pre-post patch discussion as to how something changes a ship and how effective it was. Close the topic, delete the topic, fair enough, just thought these might be helpful for the future of the game. The language barrier can be a significant issue, so perhaps it would be helpful to hire somebody who speaks english well to go through this as English is a highly common language and a native speaker generally will talk to people with less chance of a misreading. I would have put this up somewhere it wouldnt be seen to be judged by the whole community, but i dont see a spot for that. I would also ask people to not bring up stuff that doesnt need bringing up, this is supposed to help the dev team with their future goals for the game not be a void for people to whine into.
  5. Yeah, though carronades need every little bit they can get xD
  6. I believe it did "happen" at an extreme level(ie very few times recorded), but yeah as said, exploding.... lol.
  7. US english is alright i guess, accents can be horrid or good like anywhere. For the actual spelling however, the way it goes (or used to go till very recently ie techno age stuff) is theres English which the world speaks then theres American English which only the Americans speak XD Kinda like how the US is alone in its measuring system with 2 other countries on earth and willing to even not buy/build tanks because they are not willing to join the rest of us (true story, WW1 friench tanks were denied due to being in mm not inch) Its not to be taken serious anyway, its just a bit o banter/trolling in good faith.
  8. Unless it gets the wild card draw. Shame really, is a bonni ship.
  9. I come from the lovely little town of whalebones and the HMS Resolution of Captain Cook.
  10. I finally feel young again. 24, i have been feeling "old" in other communities full of teens, made me feel old and sad, thanks lads
  11. I found having the highest quality graphics was giving me a headache while playing, especially with the storm map due to the blurring and motion making me unwell so dropped to the next setting and it got rid. (i have significant issues with motion sickness in games especially blurring games due to eyesight issues, even if you dont pick up on them actually happening, it can be subtle enough to cause issues) What graphics settings are you using exactly/rig setup? Might be able to find the cause.
  12. Would rather something that detects if you have been dced for 10 minutes and autosurrenders the ship, people have said "ship sinks" but i think that isnt to helpful in many instances, what if its 1 of the middle ships in a lineup like a trin which could be helpful to have? Have a snow stay around, wait, then switch ships to at least bring the higher power in or if a ship is sinking near by they can go over and save themselves.
  13. Its stated on the site, they give the keys out every friday, i suspect for it to be easier for them to see how things change over the course of time and simply to be easier to do it in big batches. If you get the key another time then friday, you are simply lucky. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/2018-help-missing-steam-key-email-what-to-do/ Also on the purchase page "Steam keys: You will receive a steam key from us. We will be sending Steam keys in batches every Friday. No additional confirmation will be sent upon purchase except for Paypal one. We just don't want to spam your mailbox.
  14. From the purchase page. "Legal Information: The purchases/contributions are handled by our legal entity Test Idea Please Ignore, registered in UAE, Dubai. The developer for the game is our Kiev studio Game-Labs LLC, Ukraine."
  15. Yeah, i thought about it and thought "changing vote" as i did vote Indie, but i dont think it would be a significant difference from current ships. Sadly, what i want to win this, the amazon simply has no chance, it would in my view make a nice ship to place between the Snow(or the up coming iirc 28 gun light ship) and the surprise gunwise would it not? Especially as it was armed with 12 pounders giving it a pretty heavy hit if memory serves.
