Only a few capital regions are 1st rate port battles. I actually recommend that all region deep water capitals now become 1st rate ship Port Battles. its a legacy problem we will tune it soon. (all non regional capital ports were 4th rates in database). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Texas Sir Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) First thing I noticed is Pirates get no BLUE PRINT for the Prince, but we can buy the permits (one 1 victory mark for 5 of them.) Aggy still not BP able to gain in shop, but can get permit. Guess these are 7 nation only ships still even though every one and there mother uses the Pirate frigates? Just unlock all ships for all nations if you want to be that way Devs or lock them so they can only be gained by caputred. Stop half assing it. Ok noticed the Prince is a BP you get auto when you level up. Now I'm not so pissy about it, but still might as well give us the rest of the BP's too if your never going to make us anything other than a Bastard Nation.

Hold off a bit and let the 4th rate thing play out first. Part of the problem of the last two major map builds was all the players that felt RvR required gold or 5 slot First Rates. Building them, attempting to build them and maintaining fleets of that make up are part of what was killing the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to craft those ships - you get them straight as a built ship. I dislike this idea. Crafting always gives you the feeling and satisfaction that you've created something. Buying ships by just choosing wood and trim is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just be a total noob, but I honestly think it's a nice option to have. Just for some ships, though. I agree that most ships should still be craftable-only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some game pieces need to introduced in a more controlled manner at first in case they don't work as planned. If the Wasa that was on the test bed could be crafted it could be game breaking. Players would mass produce them all week and if the ship needed to be removed or nerfed it would be far more problematic. If it passes the introduction test the can make it craft able later.

Sir Texas Sir Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 1 hour ago, admin said: @Peter Goldman PvP rewards in form of books, prints etc unfortunately get too many options for exploits. But we understand the frustration and are looking for ways to provide alternatives. Bring back xp for damage so folks won't farm for credits and CM and put them in the shop like we been telling you so that we can buy them just cost a lot more than depending on the random loot drops. Though I would still keep some of the rare like the book sets or make them even more expensive. That and why is copper plating still not craftable? 3 minutes ago, admin said: hmm - bug I found the BP on the char. It's like the other permit ships you learn from leveling up crafting, but need permit for them. So I was a bit hasty on that one. 2 minutes ago, Anne Wildcat said: +1 Would like my regular rattler and tiny gunboat. Yah I want my dang gunboat back. Being one of the few on PvP2 that had the BP I was sink in them like crazy. Had no problem making them for other nations too just for fun ships to take out and blow some steam off. I normally end up rolling mine over myself or sinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Wildcat Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 +1 on bring books to shops for sale by NPCs. I liked how you used to once in a while find a nice blue book for sale by NPCs. I think I got my blue marines that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anolytic Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 1 hour ago, admin said: ?? can you explain? Like was said, there is a ton of new 4th rate PBs on the map and no new 1st rate PBs. Also I happen to think that 4th rate PBs as they are now do not work to begin with. There has been almost no 4th rate PBs since the wipe for a reason, and no increase since the battlegroups. Everyone realises that a defender with the manpower to field a screening fleet can easily screen out an attack on a 4th rate port. Battlegroup BR won't help when the enemy can bring out 10-15 1st/2nd rates to screen the attackers who can only bring 4th rates in their battle group. Another thing. We now need to be able to click on towns that are not Regional capitals or national capital. This has not been implemented for non capital ports yet. Which means for ports that are not capitals you can only click on the crosses, not on the town, to get the entry option. And you cannot see the name of the port from a distance by clicking on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
