Rikard Frederiksen Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Great news! Whilst forced by circumstance, the asset wipe was greatly needed, and getting HMS Pandora at/before release as a redeemable is a lovely touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a release of the game it's an update to a new patch we are testing as this game is still in Alpha Stage of development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin has stated MULTIPLE times that XP will not be reset again... even at full release. Edit: just an example....

This is another testing phase. And no, it doesn't mean certain death of the game. It will certainly survive without your presence captain. But better would be to overcome the sense of dread and look to a new phase. Lots of changes to come. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to argue but to release the game in it's current state would mean commiting a crime because it's nowhere near finished so no, it wouldn't and also yes I look forward to new patches and didn't say what they are doing is bad, just that releasing it soon (1-2 months) is death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Aye. Hence why is not being released in 1 -2 months, but is open Early Access so anyone can buy and enter the testing This new wipe is a good opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I just get scared everytime they mention release, the game is in a state where even mentioning it makes me twitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: OK, lets destroy the newbies with our high ranks. Not sure how this is a valid argument, as even in later stages newbies will fight along higher ranked players. It's the nature of progression. Even heard of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kloothommel Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I love the idea of a clean slate like this. Breaks up old monopolies, gives everybody an equal start. I like it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 3 hours ago, Hethwill said: Crafting level remains. Hence the ability to build ships. As the entire system is under rework the ships schematics ( BPs ) will be readily available by crafting experience, basically becoming redundant. Notable exception being the Admiralty ships. 4 hours ago, admin said: Most importantly - your xp is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: OK, lets destroy the newbies with our high ranks. Some testers have already gone through 3 XP grinds : Sea trials, introduction of OW, Early Access. Am I forgetting one ? Whatever his rank, a veteran would "destroy the newbies" as it is a matter of skills. XP conservation only gives faster access to bigger ships. Plus, there'll be PvE and newcomers zones. Think of casual testers too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaine Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) so as someone asked earler in the thread what about that little red yacht how will that be reworked? or will it be removed and replaced with maybe a little blue yacht? also on the pandora will it also be a ship like the yacht where we can sink it as many times as we want and claim it again once per day or?
