Prater Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Awesome! One important request from me and many other players - please, please for the love of Zeus remove that chicken shed from the back of Bucentaure ship. Such beautiful lines unbalanced by a not needed box on the back of such beautiful ship. Everything I find on the internet (with minimal looking mind you, 10 or so minutes), has the shed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanay Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Was hoping for a new frigate also :/ Moderators spoiled us showing them of i guess. As for the imbalance, theres already mods (best of which cost quite a penny) and the general fact that a high level players will be sailing in a super frigate or a line ship, so i doubt officers make that much of a difference More advanced players well established already have more advantages and a nice collection of upgrades accumulated, then can use SOL's to grind quickly the 35K XP in PVE and get more advantages on the top of this, players starting or in frigates or 4th rate need way longer times to grind the officer, not counting in this the players learning and doing errors ending in getting ships sank and arriving at M&C or Post Cpt level with only a couple of officer life's remaining, those having it the easiest way in game get it even more easy with all advantages some of the perks gives and how easier it is to get XP using Sol's in pve risk free missions... not logical to favor the highest ranked players and create such imbalance from my point of view. And can only hope the Santa Cecilia will be there but forgot on patch list like they done a few times, pilled up parts and LH contracts last weeks for this ship and want to make at least 2 of them , one live oak for fights one fir wood for chases, both with speed and possibly one in oak for both tasks , was going to get make me a few of those and use them for a while as they fit my gameplay :/ After all Admin on previous announcement said " + of course new ships." so there is hope . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victor Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) can we have the first perk reset for free (erasing all perks and refunding the points)? Edited July 28, 2016 by victor 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Brave Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Looking forward to most of it but what still could lead to discussions is: 1. still only one Officer - that means usage of perks is still limited, 2. crew cost is still at 500 - covered a bit by two officer perks (see 1.) and 3. Surrender not possible when sinking or burning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Archer Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I like it except for the surrender mechanics. When shall one surrender? When is the damage high enough for not taking water (sinking), but short before? How shall I know that, sometimes I have still some armour left, but the water is coming in. I would prefer to have it like it is now. To give the opponent the chance to save the ship, he should have to board after surrendering and repair the sinking ship in a given time (maybe 2min). That would give him the time to get the ship, if he takes some effort and stops fighting the remaining battle, but he has to send the crew to take the price and has to leave a price crew. If not, the ship shall sink and is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baptiste Gallouédec Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Auto-escape functionality when connection problem : Yes ! Leaks tunned : Yes ! Interesting new perks, new sotl waterline, improved sails animations, i think i will like this update. I'm just not sure about no surrender when sinking or burning, surrender when sinking or burning should auto set your crew to survival and be considered a kill for you opponent if your ship sink before he leave the battle (you still save your captain and crew). Too bad just the Buc' being added but that's nothing. Keep on the good work! Edited July 28, 2016 by Baptiste Gallouédec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eir Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 could you please clarify if the Bucentaure is being dropped from any 3rd rate ship Bellona/ 3rd rate (bellona 74) or just from the bellona74? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Seven Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Content patch: July (Work in Progress) Finalization of crew and officers Testing of land in port battles Finalization of accel and deceleration for vessels XP for trading Finalization of crew and officers - YES Testing of land in port battles - NOPE Finalization of accel and deceleration for vessels - YES XP for trading - NOPE Honestly calling this a "content" patch is really stretching the definition of content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prater Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Bucentaure isn't content? I don't know what content is then. How is xp for trading content? It isn't. Land in Port Battles takes time.

akd Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 1. still only one Officer - that means usage of perks is still limited,Isn't that a good thing? Your are forced to chose. Even addition of one more officer with no other changes (i.e. 10 points per officer) would create huge differences between players with and without officers, devaluing skill in what is supposed to be a skill-based game. It would also mean you get to stack things that currently (thankfully) cannot be stacked, e.g. Pirate (speed bonus) / pirate hunter (reload bonus) + master (speed / reload bonus).If more officers are added, then they must draw from different perk pools, and have fewer perks per officer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land is being tested, but not live yet. Wait for testbed and you will be able to try it out. There are many things in development that devs keep in secret. Please don't get discouraged that easily.

Before building a house you have to set up foundation. Devs picked the right time to set up foundation for many important things that later will take shape. We all know that many people are traveling or sailing during summer time and have less time to play. 95% of content was delivered on time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an Alpha and you agreed to treat it as such when you joined the game. Leave the attitude and accept that no plans are time-bound promises in Alpha development. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Surrender is no longer possible if you are sinking or on fireBasically this means, once you are ganked you can turn to fight, resulting in little reward, a lost ship, a lost officer and loads of crew lost. So what is your best option: run away for 30-45 minutes, then surrender. Preferably make them spend time as much as possible while taunting them. Reward those who deserve rewarding: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/12557-surrendering-in-pvp-to-refuse-kill/?p=282898 Then again I could be wrong... anybody have any suggestions how to fight a losing battle?
