I know sailers with only 1h time to sail at the evening ... they come online ... try to find a mission in the safe zone only to do one or two missions ... they go offline after the 3. cancelaltion without shot one ball ... If people does want to cancel a mission without hitting the three cancellations, they just have to go in the mission in a Lynx, and leave the battle after 2 mins.

Hethwill Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hardcore doesn't necessarily mean time investment in a game. Can be related to game intended simulated experience. - press SAIL - find a target that is suitable for the challenge you look for ( AI or player ) - engage in naval combat - return to port - logoff Can be done in under 60 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think South side of Cuba for the Spanish, other side of the island for Brits, Danes, Swedes, French. So I can fully understand the issue, specially if you just wanted an hour of fun and not an hour of sailing some useless distance. For brits and spain and french there is Belize and Vera Cruze and New Orleans where missions only can spawn on one side of the ports. Only for danes sweden dutch and pirats there is no second capital port where u must sail around a island. But hey for the PvE server it shoud not be a problem to sail a few hours to get to this ports no risk for afk sailing. Set your sails sail in the direction you want and clean your room or house make some gardenwork or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagdriver Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 @Hethwill yeah, whatever. I was reffering to the case against mission placements. Personally I am mostly a casual, but I have not used the missions for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still the only „hardcore“ things I see are game mechanics that make life less comfortable in this game. Neither sailing or shooting is anywhere near hardcore. AND I don’t think an already small playerbase doesn’t need to get even more reasons to quit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me please. Mast mods are so game breaking and battle deciding that it ruins alot of the game. The one tool we had to see if we were doing damage is gone now.... We have 0 visual proof if we pen masts or not. If there is a mod that makes battles one sided its a broken mod and anyone can tell you that. The simple fix would be to improve hp only with mast mods and not thickness but what do I know about dismasting right..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aster Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 So its good for me to know when I shoot the hull of a ship and do damage. But its bad for me to know when I shoot the mast and do damage? Imagine if you had no idea if your shot was actually doing damage to the enemy ship now that would be fun and engaging wouldn't it? If demasting is the problem, why not fix the problem of not knowing your own mast hp. Or just a general buff to mast hp/thickness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one tool we had to see if we were doing damage is gone now Ill explain If you don't know if you penetrated the mast, it takes time to realize that target is fitted for masts which gives all sorts of options for the target to react If you know if you penetrated the mast you demast in 30-60 seconds. This sort of thing is not good for variability of combat. Becomes too easy to make a decision to switch to hull. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think increasing mast thickness again by a bit for every ship would help. Especially for smaller ships. Make mast mods just increase HP as Hachi suggested. Make demasting harder in general I would say and at the same time decrease chain dmg. Less sails makes battles less fun for everyone involved.

Incorrect. On 1st rates its like 3 min and on suprises its 5 secs max. Ever do a 1v1 with suprises, 32 carros and no mast mods? Heheh try it... By the time you know he has mast mods its gg on 4th rates and above because as I have said. Big ships masts are to strong and small ships masts are stupid.... The target does not need time to react because he knows he cannot be demasted. He is invincible at this point Edited May 10, 2018 by HachiRoku 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the better fix would be to show Mast HP to the receiving side and pen to the shooting side. Rather than reverting back to the old system. Now less experienced players wont know about getting close to demast and using bigger calibres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
