Anne Wildcat Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Does this mean I can sit in enemy capitals after a gank and go afk? This made me laugh out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperion74 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This thread was started while I was asleep which I must protest. You guys screwed me out of being able to post on page 1 or 2. Jeeze you guys are soooo mean. Took me a few hours to read through all of the pages and I can't think of anything to say that's not already been said. I will think that it is a good patch until I run aground in a battle. "Who in the FRAK put that MUTHER FRAKING shore there. What a Butt!" Look forward to testing it, you Adonis Like Devs. I like a lot that will be added. It is my Friday so you know what I'll be doing all weekend.

Twig Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I just don't believe removing what has been a key feature of the game for many people, myself included, is going in the right direction at all. There aren't enough crafters with sufficient level around to match the demand. Every able crafter will be focusing on building 3rd rates, the price of smaller ships will go up, so will the price of notes and BPs, because more people will be wanting to invest time crafting. There is no way this will happen, it will just increase the number of smaller ships sailing around. Yes the price might get higher but it wont be the way that every crafter will be focused on building 3rd rates. At some point you will see that money is not the only thing in this game. And they also have to build even higher ships like Bellona, Pavel or even 1rd's. Yes the price of notes and BP's will increase, mainly because there wont be any drops of BP's for those which already got one. This will get the game to the point, that any player needs to focus more on crafting for himself. Thus, because those players have to level up their crafting to build those big ships on their own, will make more "little" ships available (in the market) which those player need to build to get their next levels. (Building gives the most EXP.) But the worst consequence I can see happenning very quickly is the ganking boom. Gankers will be camping outside capitals 24/7 to cap player ships for their own use or to trade, effectively killing all non-PvP activity on PvP servers. Grinding will become almost impossible in some areas and time windows, unless you're able to group up with enough people to be safe, which will significantly reduce Xp and Gold returns on missions. What makes you think that? It will only bring the PVP-Players to hunt those fleets and cap them for their own use. Yes to attack someone is possible everywhere but please remember that in near of your own ports, you now have the tower defense to help you and the available reinforcements. Furthermore I have to remind you, that there will be a max. BR difference so that it is even harder to get in "not equal" fighting scenarios. Thus will even make the mission jumping harder. Personally, I'm very glad about this new update. There may be somethings that will be tested, but the most makes so much sense! Especially to remove the possibility to cap AI ships and to use them as "throw away ships". It just makes the game more intense and tensed!

Long Beard Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just had a scary thought. Maybe it's already been discussed in this epic thread but tldr. I was thinking that the new BR battle system doesn't effect me personally was when I attack a merchant, anyone in the area could already join. Then it hit me that there was no mention in the notes about the battle closed timer. Has this been changed? Is it still 2 mins, been increased, or now open for the duration of the battle?

MikedaBike Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The br changes seem to not be right? 2 pavs were unable to attack an ai fleet of a Trinc and a cerb, br wise that is ok except i um unable to hunt ai with a friend in our top ships toghether. So i tried a privateer whith friend in a Pav our Br was well less that 1.5 and i was still unable to join battle Pav br is 270 and privateer 20 = 290 a cerb and Trin are 260 x 1.5 = 390 so unless my br numbers are wrong what gives?

Guybrush_Twopwood Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Does that mean pirates can keep the ships if captured eh? seeing as we didn't have a admiralty as much as nationals. That would be a possible way to make a difference between pirates and nations. Nations: no capture of warships but able to craft them Pirates: able to capture them but not craft them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanay Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The XP needed for the ranks was lowered massively, i was at 46082/50000 for flag captain yesterday, today I am promoted Commodore with 4582/80000 for rear admiral, flag captain rank totally skipped o_O Edit: extra hammocks gold giving 12.5% more crew instead of 5% is awesome, ie Essex with crew space built-in fitted with 370 crew instead of 346 previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topo de Lezo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I was just trying a fleet order with other 5 clan mates in my 3rd when I rammed actidentaly with a Constituion and I had 1 leak, medium damage and I was sunk in less 1 min. I pressed repair ship, urgent repair, all crew to repair (sails and gunney was disconnected)This have to be fixed, there is no way to keep alive if you get rammed or ram anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Henry de Montfort Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ok..... Admins.... I hope your tweaking the experience only till the wipe becuase what you did is extremely wrong. I have members in my clan that went from post captain to Commodore with this patch....making everyone an admiral and nerfing the rank grind is not giving players enough time in each rank to learn how to sail, shoot and manuever in the different level ships in this game and those of us who actually worked to get our ranks ...... just well salty at what you've done. Do not give the ranks away or make the grind too easy. All your doing is making people lazy in game and once everyone is Super (Admiral) then nobody will be super! I hope you fix this error with the wipe.. I would suggest actually buffing the experience everyone needs in the grind...add Vice Admiral and put a rank in between post and Flag captain. You going in the wrong direction on this...... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JokerJudge Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thx to Devs for their work! Appreciate this. It was hard to make so many changings. Of course someone will disagree with changes, but the game in alpha version. It meens, that it will be changed. So let's try new rules, and if we see some troubles or bugs - we'll inform Devs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quineloe Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Did you actually change the steel toolbox?yesterday it said repair percent 10% now it says repair percent 0.1 - which is 10% written as a decimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going in the wrong direction on this...... 1. Well if somone dosen't know how to manuver his ship and shoot that that's hes problem, don't make it everyones else. 2. I undestand that your salty because your in game rank lost some prestige and I get it. 3. Making it a "Korean MMO grind fest" isn't helping either. 4. I also thought about adding a rank between post captain and flag captain specifically for 4th rates. Edited April 13, 2016 by Garbol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox2run Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 These changes will makes it even harder to do pvp. In my world the word "ganking" is nonsense on a pvp server. Maybe it makes sence in a pve-world. If you go alone in pvp unescorted in enemy waters - well then you ask for getting captured. With this patch this game is getting overprotective and most likely leads to fewer pvp-actions. Let alone the 2 min timer. These kind of timers should be removed. It was much more fun before the 2 min where introduced. We need a game with sea-battles not a game of solitude pve with no action. Its like the pve-players are controlling the forums completely. I dont think this is good for gameplay. I like battles vs humans - not the arranged ones but the spontaneus ones in OW. Now I have to wait for the next patch... While waiting I think I might go for other games with better balance in them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
