admin Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Captains. Here is information on the forthcoming patch 14 Part 3 1. Merge Merge will happen next week (somewhere between 18th and 22nd December). Due to the fact that all your assets from global will be transferred to redeemables on the Caribbean, you can already start a character or use an old one on the Caribbean Server formerly known as PVP EU. All your assets will come to redeems once merge is done and you will have some head start to get used to a new place ( +pick a name, nation etc). 2. Ship re-balance will continue all light ships will get their final exact (Historical) sail composition and curve finalized most frigates will have their super turning powers rebalanced some ships will have their speed curves slightly improved (e.g. bellona) open world speeds slightly improved 3. Leeway will be added 4. Unstable situations might be added (having a ship with large yard power but using it irresponsibly can result in capsizing of the boat). 5. Several new upgrades added 6. New combo books added 7. Rudder turn inertia and acceleration added, yard power inertia and acceleration added. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iroquois Confederacy Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Capsizing would be awesome! Would be interesting to see what would happen when you overpress a vessel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Teach (Blackbeard) Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Good job devs. Now those 100 guys from PvP Global will know what the Caribbean really is. Welcome 100+ sailors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) More rare books that won't drop. Yeeha.

The wind pushes you downwind so to sail to be B you need to point further upwind. This effect can cause you to get pushed into unfavorable positions such as a shoreline... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as bullet drop, you have to compensate. I think in battle leeway is useless because you always steering anyways. All it might do is make you slow.

This all would complete the simulator game. Edited December 15, 2017 by Seraphic Radiance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currents seem like a b*tch to implement Look at this map. It has arrows as currents and I think this would be the best approach to currents. Just needs extra current for Florida coast to merge with the rest as well as Bahamas. Sailing with current would add speed bonus.
