312_JS Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 My favourite "Top Gear" was when James May taught a 75+ yr old Vicar how to drift. I wish someone would take this old (48) Pastor on a race track in a mucke car and go drifting! Come over to Czech Republic and it may happen.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumisz Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am amazed how rude people can be. Trust me, you don't want rushed out patches. Setting dates again and not following through? I could have swore I said something about this before... Just. Don't. Give. Dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratline Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Setting dates again and not following through? I could have swore I said something about this before... Just. Don't. Give. Dates. If people didn't get their panties in a twist about something as inconsequential to them as a game patch being late it wouldn't be an issue. For those of us who know how to behave it's nice having a proposed timeline, and if it isn't met we are not going to get all salty. Being informed and treated like reasonable adults is rare in gaming, the devs here really do try to do this. Sadly quite a few folks fail to reciprocate. Anyways... hope Mr Admin feels better soon Edited March 1, 2016 by Ratline 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herrick Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Setting dates again and not following through? I could have swore I said something about this before... Just. Don't. Give. Dates. Software development and dates just don't mix. Real life happens, software tests fail, and developers are always, always, optimistic when thinking about timelines. Taking nothing away from what these guys are doing ( and have done so far) but take their expectation and double it. Please don't get your knickers in a twist over a perceived delay in delivering a patch. Suck it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbarefield Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Admin get well soon. The flu ain't no fun. I would much rather have a good patch a little late than one on time but full of bugs. There is still plenty to do in game as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't get your knickers in a twist over a perceived delay in delivering a patch. Suck it up. People keep confusing me giving them advice with me being upset that they didn't release the patch. I haven't played but maybe 2 hours total in the past 5 days. Them releasing the patch does little for me at the current time. Though, them avoiding flak and public outcry again for setting a date and failing to meet that date is bad. I'm just letting them know to never give a date for release of a patch again to avoid things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaBike Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Back in the day, they would have lashed Admin to the fore mast and driven into a howling storm to force his deamons out, and cure him of his malady, if this is no option, try a lemsip...get him back on his feet and at the helm!

OlavDeng2 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 the last patch is the Port battle in october 2015 6 month, six fucking month Let me bring up another indie game, Minecraft, last patch(lets ignore snap shots now), more than a year ago... also remember some things: 1. we had the early access release which took dev time as lots of bugs and exploits were found 2. recently admin had the flu 3. they have been working on something else as their main focus(in their land in battles thread they said if i remember correclty 90% of the dev time wen to that) We have to remember that this is a small dev team working on what is undeniably a large product. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porpoise Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I would rather keep the team small and progress steady than employing tens of new devs for a game which will never be a mass tittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starbuck Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I would rather keep the team small and progress steady than employing tens of new devs for a game which will never be a mass tittle. ...and trying to cater to a crowd that will never like this kind of game anyway.

Ireson Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Will we be able to crew broadsides independently or will it be a balanced distribution allways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkompetent Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Will we be able to crew broadsides independently or will it be a balanced distribution allways? I really hope that we can crew specific broadsides as you say, and even specific decks. If I start losing crew (or if I'm short on crew to start with) I certainly want to focus on using my biggest and strongest guns instead of wasting crew on loading the small guns on the weather deck. Speaking of different decks I also hope that we'll soon be able to load different shot into different decks, so that I for example can change to grape or chain on the top deck and keep ball in the gun deck.

Not a clue on the different shot type, though it would be very useful, but as for the focusing on a specific deck, that's pretty much already in. At present of course you can hit f1 to f4 to select or deselect gun decks, but with the more dynamic crew management, guns not in use should, in theory, not need crew. I have no guarantee that this is true of course, but it at least lends hope to all the post captains on constitutions out there right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
