Mrdoomed Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ok so after playing NA and talking to people and listenig to opinions and forum ideas ive learned a few things about a movie i used to think was good. 1. The french command was a coward who was scared of fair pvp and ganked a smaller ship for easy xp. 2. The English captain was also a coward afraid of pvp who after learning he was going to lose chose to run instead of allowing his ship to be sunk. 3. The chase. Once the coward british captian fixed his ship he gave chase to the french ship. It was during this chase that i realized the world was to big and it took hours just to get to his objective and the map should be smaller. 4. The weather and storms lasted way way to long and effected the movie to much. Am i missing anything. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfimp Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 - There were no whales or dolphins, which for a movie about naval combat in the age of sail was an unforgivable oversight - The need to chase after the prize at the end (due to a feared uprising by the hidden French captain) was unnecessary because we all know that "Send to Outpost" never fails - M&C Aubrey had been sailing for the Royal Navy since he was a young boy, but was only leveled up to a 5th rate. The grind is too long. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian2492 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Rage boarding is too powerful, Masts are too weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetrion Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) To be fair, the mast for a larger ship at the time wasn't just one piece of wood, it was a core of wood surrounded by multiple trunks that were cut into sections that would fit around the core and then held together by iron bands that were fitted while hot so they would contract and keep the entire thing tightly compressed. Destroying one of those masts was extremely difficult, since they were basically a bundle of telephone poles held together with iron bands. In the movie the mast collapses after just two hits.

kumisz Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 In the movie the mast collapses after just two hits. In the movie, it took an entire broadside of carefully aimed shots (some missed, most hit) to break the mast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 - Learned that crew also gets magically replaced, especially on the Royal Navy ships. - Found myself cheering "ACHERON!!!" given the recent developments in our imaginary real world of NA - Tried to take a glimpse to any fabled Forester's Pellew Sights without success. - Discussion over Aubrey's choice of Marines over Powder Monkeys is necessary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Marie Dragases Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The French captain sucks at fire deck gun/attack/defend. You need sailors to raise/lower sails. The French corsairs had already used all their repair kits, they couldn't repair the mast in the midst of battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiQuiet Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 * I should be using OW travel time to learn to play an instrument. * It's easier to explain battles with food than with screen shots and videos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagan Pete Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Aubrey has a Customize Figurehead consumable, Forthcoming in game. He must be an Alpha Tester. He also has an obsolete Surgeon, which was discontinued some time ago in closed alpha. If I understand Aubrey's description correctly, his 5ht rate has build strength and speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdoomed Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Aubrey obviously was using a hack because he had both navigation equipment AND a spyglass during OW so he was a cheater. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiQuiet Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Aubrey obviously was using a hack because he had both navigation equipment AND a spyglass during OW so he was a cheater. The set they built for the ocean scenes was poorly constructed: high in the middle, drooping at the edges. Because the lines weren't straight, that's why he had to have navigation equipment. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdoomed Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 The French missions are to far away. Some of us have a life and cant spend an entire movie sailing to the other side of the world just to sink 1 whaling ship ! Missions are just a time sink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell from the books I have on the subject - losing masts was very common indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porpoise Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The Marines were giving no penalty to the reload time and they sucked hard in hitting anything but the doctor. Basic gunnery handbooks probably. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hethwill Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 - there are no time wasting activities other than what the Admiralty Service requires. No sightseeing around, no messing with bugs. Find the enemy and open a battle instance. All the rest is secondary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Quertier Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Captain Aubrey has some kind of psychic mod, he knew the enemy would sail up his larboard side and ordered the gun carriages rear wheels 'unshipped'. Imagine his face if the privateer had gone right instead of left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
