Cockeyed Callaway Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Gentlemen, the admiralty has tendered unto us its orders. I see there are those among us who are thinking of resigning their commissions based on this unfortunate turn of events. It is of course their right to do so, with the honor of their service fully acknowledged. I however I must state for the record, that I am invigorated by this turn of events. The idea that I should be sent to a Mediterranean devoid of others footprints. That I may take part in remapping a new world, fills me with hope and excitement. Sure I will arrive naked on its shores, but I shall also arrive versed in its ways. Privy to its dangers and mindful of its secrets. Not some swabby who can't aim a cannon or scamper up a shroud. No...no this is an opportunity to be twice the seamen I was. To place my mark upon this island chains shifting waters. I see this not as punishment, but reward. It is time for the cadets to depart the academy for their final berths. Fair winds to all. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a week give us post captain ranks, after 2 weeks flag captain, after 3 weeks commodores and after month rear admirals... Same result and these that hate re-doing the grind can simply wait and come back later. Best idea yet, hope it doesn't get lost in all the complaints. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well admins are ruining it for the vet players are they not? those players are only taking the avenue that is available to them. After all admins are giving priority to these new players over the vet playerbase. So it's admin choice to favor new players that is creating the issue imo.

Angus MacDuff Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 lol, this hysteria is incredible. Its a fun game. Ranking up is easy. Threatening to farm new players? seriously? New players get farmed anyway. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more 'Temper Tantrum' than hostage situation. This isn't the right venue for emotional outbursts. Considered disagreement is much more influential than angry trolling. Reflect on this. This isn't healthy behavior for an functioning adult. You need to find a better use of your time. Sure everyone likes to play the game and enjoy it but what happenes when you really enjoy it and someone comes and smashes it to pieces with a sledgehammer? some people have become very attached to this game .. made sacrifices for it.. right or wrong and now someone will destoy it .. how do you think they will react? Listen i'm not the bad guy here .. would you rather prefer i didn't say anything and it would happen anyways? coz like i said people ARE talking about this and i don't want to point fingers I'm just letting everyone know that it will come to this Like i said it's basic human nature if you destroy someone's loved object he will come after you .. we don't live in fairy tales 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cortana Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Why wipe anything if you're going to retain your books, the one thing that makes the game unbalanced especially in PvP terms. Also the lack of notification prior to a wipe was a bad idea, 7 days? then a wipe each month this could go really bad... I always expected a wipe for release to be honest, but a partial wipe just seems pretty pointless, also might want to make DLC ships redeemable once a week/month instead, or they may req the new player experience. 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them playing NA, I don't see them on testbed, I see them only on the forums. You guys often disappear and wait just for the wipes. You will come after a wipe for a short time and disappear to play other games again. Ah, I forgot to mention you will complain about meta-cool-kidz-gamers who ruin the game for ya.

Angus MacDuff Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Admins didn't lie about xp. They didn't mislead us. They simply re-evaluated the issue and made a decision. After the wipe, the game will still be fun. I will race Banished to Post Captain (and probably lose) Edited February 27, 2019 by Angus MacDuff 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you don't see us it doesn't mean that we have disappeared. We enjoy the game and provide feedback in our way. The "ROVER did this and that" mania is really getting out of hand.

Teutonic Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) This reminds me of when GE announced they would drop their dividend. I lost a lot of money that day and still recovering. ANYWAY. Truthfully I'm hurt....but I understand the wipe... I hope folks stay so we can continue having a pre-release group to engage in activities with. I also hope the release garner's attention once more. I'm cautious here though. I need to really see how this patch is going to play out.

Cockeyed Callaway Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 All of this is to be expected, they did give false information. That said, its also their game and they have to do what they think will make it viable. I'm sorry their are so many unhappy players. I for one look forward to a brave new world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't 100% set in stone then they should not have said it was 'guaranteed''. Seems pretty simple to me. It is also a business decision to give bad information to customers and that has consequences for any product sold anywhere in any form. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 1 hour ago, admin said: What is certain is that books and skill books will remain safe Good to hear. I don't care about rank xp but I would not be willing to regrind the skill books only "because it's release". Rank xp is gained passively by playing PvP - no problem at all for me. One question tho: I understand "skill books" are the unlocks for the knowledge slots of a ship but what does "book" include? Crafting blueprints etc. ?
