monk33y Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) @admin Congratulations Devs. now we have deep water battles 3-5k br where the Sverige nation only takes shallow water ships. They only kite run away and cap... Firing chain only... If this new br system is working as ment, then no ships above 4th and 5th rates are needed in this game Port battles are no longer battles..... Surely this needs fixing. A minimum ship class should be added... Iv seen nations turn up with lynx's to cap circles in deep water previous line ship battles.! A minimum number of first rates, second rates should be required to enter port battle.....! The 5k br battles should require something like 4 first rates minimum... Not this current system of 25 shallow water ships and lynx's.... Edited November 2, 2017 by monk33y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 1 hour ago, Zoky said: Talking about ow warp speeds and ai teleport, magic camouflage has potential to be one of the worst features ever if not implemented correctly. Since some of us still have honour (most of the time) masking bigger ship into smaller will only force us to start attacking everyone including new players coz they might be big ship camouflaged into small ship. And one would assume that crew is not completely blind to mistake victory for lynx at tagging range. Therefore my suggestion is that you allow camouflaging only into your own rate and that your true identity is revealed once you get into tag range. The historical counterparts of something like this weren't entirely related to the size of ships but to the sail plan and rigging. A 74 gun could indeed, and was, misidentified as Indiaman. Same with all other kinds of ships but always related to sail plans. A full ID of ship details, as per contemporary accounts, could be done at very close range, 3 miles in the best day with good telescope. You are right, the implementation of this idea must be done carefully and full ID should be at tag range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr RideZ Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 If we cannot see our enemies name, maybe as a nice to have feature a flag or pennant. Flag is probably easier. Tho not sure how many dickbutts we would get this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk33y Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 A pirate exclusive feature should be the ability to sail under the flag (nation) of a captured enermy until server reset 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 @Peter Goldman Yes, I get that and more respect to the "special characters". I also get that 90% of player do not care about duels. Has nothing to do with names, seriously. Having names or not will change nothing in that respect. A ambush can be sprung now with no problems for a 1v1. In the end 90% will simply sail away in battle instance instead of OW. Nothing changes. When there's a 1 to 10 odds of a duel happening one must accept that is not what the players look for in the OW. Maybe on arenas, but definitely not in OW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quineloe Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Before we have *any* talk about Spyglass identification, we must have every single ship of a fleet visible on the open world. No more 1 ship representing a fleet anymore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure this was actually broken. We had a hostility mission two days ago that Combat News listed at nearby Port de Paix, but all kills in that battle were correctly attributed to Saint-Nicholas. Of course unless that means that hostility missions are now even closer to the port, that would be a great change. Unfortunately I just undocked and can't check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodo Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 9 hours ago, Intrepido said: All players will make mistakes, thats the good thing. The biggest issue with the IDing ships in the OW is fleet ships. Last night I managed to catch a single US player who was under crewing 2 Indiamen off the coast of Florida. Had it been the way you all say I wouldnt have known there was a second ship with him. I dont think it would be right to see a 3rd rate being invisible because the player is sailing around in a trader brig (6th rate) with the 3rd rate as a fleet ship. And most lookouts back then could identify a ship out to about 10km. It would take time, but they would be able to tell if it was a SoL or a Indiaman.

I see your argument is falling apart...if I was wrong about your use of small br ships in deep water port battles, why are the Devs stopping you from doing it moving forward??? if it's not a 'go around' or exploit why is it being removed......
