3rdguards Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Good update, always nice to have a rough idea of when what is going to happen, even if the schedule isn't followed to the letter, sates a bit of my appetite for information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you manage to bring them all to fruition. I especially like the focus on bringing more content regardless that it is PvE-content. I think @Christendom will approve of that too.

Sir Texas Sir Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 2 hours ago, admin said: Hello captains. Here is a small update on the development plans for the next 6 months. Dates are not final and might move around August: While we are are still working on the UI patch - we will deliver 1-2 balancing patches in august based on feedback on ship combat performance, (especially performance of the imported vessels vs alternatives) Ship rebalance (specifically focused on the underperforming ship) We might also add a new vessel in August. First I would like to say thank you @admin this pretty much what my Monday post for the past couple of months been about is asking for an update on how things are going. I would suggest maybe doing an update to the info every month just to keep us informed. No exact ETA's just a draft of things going on and plans if things go right. I can handle waiting just another month if you just inform us it's taking longer than expected, but hay we are working on these other things too like you just did with this post. It might of keep more players around the last month or so as I know a lot of folks got tired of waiting on this big patch and just stopped playing cause they expected it to drop a month or so ago. If we are going to be looking at some ship balance can we please take a look at the first rates so that the L'Ocean isn't the only one being brought most the time. As Pit mentions put the proper carros on the Victory. Lock the L'Ocean to only the 36 lbrs (no 42 lbrs allowed), than look at the 2nd rate and give the Pavel some love once more so more folks will use 2nd rates too. They should be the poor man's 1st rates and used more than 1st rates but right now they just can't hang in fights. Another thing why is the question about paints always avoided? I know ya'll had plans to do something like ship knowledge but that would mean ship wipes. We know paints are still in game cause we have them on two ships (Bellona white and the Endy winter one). Why can't we have them in loot tables or even Admiralty shop until the changes come since they will be wiped any way. These ships right now are so bland I would love to bring out some of them with the old paint just for fun and so I"m not looking like every one else. Please think about bringing them back even if it's until the UI patch and you might need to wipe them. Hell I personally think you should just do a good wipe than, call it BETA and move to the next chapter of the game. We all been waiting so long for this patch it would be nice to get something as a thank you for the time.....PAINTCHEST FOR ALL would be a nice thank you;) 58 minutes ago, pit said: Victory finally getting 68lb carros on weather deck?🤓 and I can only pray for DD to be linked to boarding prep... Also along with these two and what I said up there about the L'Ocean only getting the 36 pnds cannons. I would love to see repairs only able to be used while in battle sails or slower. This repairing while going full sails is just stupid. 22 minutes ago, NethrosDefectus said: ALL decks! It would tear the ship apart firing all decks on both sides simultaneously I would imagine It's only the very top deck so like 7 of them per side so it's not a lot of cannons, but would give it something different from the other first rates. 12 minutes ago, Intrepido said: Or it could be also the Diana.

But I think it's simply that you can't attack distant ports out of nowhere anymore, but have to work your way along the coast. So for example (hopefully) nor more parking of your rvr fleet in Free Towns anymore to attack out of nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could not just take it and sail to another part of the map to capture the city. Hostility mission design can be changed so they only are provided on nearest ports - forcing nations to actually maintain and defend frontlines/bases. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean.. nation x can only fight the nations at their borders? Maybe that will reduce the amount of PBs but i like the idea of a frontline. That would bring a tactical component. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds like when leaving from Great Corn, you can either attack San Andres (Providencia) or Bluefields/Haulover - don't know which one is nearer - (South Mosquito). From there, you have to work your way along the coast: San Andres -> Old Providence -> Serrana or Haulover -> Great River -> Prinzapolka ect. Of course if you wanted to attack the Polish instead, the nearest port from Greact Corn would be Concepcion I think?

Hethwill Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Can't remember being possible to acquire the flag in a free town during the 1 hour clock. Isn't Corn a free town ? 1 hour flag operations i remember and was part of was from orchila to aves and coqui to les cayes or somewhere there. And navigation had to be on spot.

We got pretty crafty with how we got them from one side of the map to another back on Global. We knew just how far we could stretch it and get a flag planted and not run out of time.....the fun part was getting there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilgar Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thank you for the update. Front line in a form or another would be great. In this way even with a small population, there will be a concentration of players/ships along front lines and getting some action will take less time.

People won't waste time there anymore, they will log on and if want to fight will use duel room. And I think it will be bad. Maybe the final nail to the coffin in regards to hunting.

Haven't seen any screenshots, just API files and Christian is in progress for like 1-2 years? About time for it to come. The only other ship I seen screenshots of is the Pandora, but we won't get that until release (which I don't know why we don't just get it now). Though would be nice to get another frigate or even a 3rd rate in game. A 2nd rate would be nice too, but honestly I really would like to see a 2/3 with 32's on both bottom decks than anything right now. @admin Ok sorry to do this, but you do know there is only 2 weeks left in this month. So we will see some balance patches next week or the week after? Going track record I'm not going to hold my breath on us getting anything this month.

Most of them were dozens of times rebalanced. Last two ships were created not from devs. Btw. Greaatings to HMS Pandora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
