Malachi Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) U-oh, this thread.... Could someone please enlighten me...both the Wasa- and the Gustav Adolph-class were considered 60-gun ships in the swedish Navy (and their plans say just that: 60 guns). So how can one be a third and one a fourth rate? I don´t care about the overall rating in-game, but if it´s practically the same ship, there should be some consistency, right?

They aren't P2W If they are allowed in PBs they are P2W. I’m fine with cosmetic DLCs. Most games have them. I even fine with DLC ships. But when those ships are better than their contemporaries, just like the herc and requin were, then they are P2W by definition. Im even ok with a little P2W DLC content. The devs do need to keep funding I suppose.... but we’re approaching what? Almost 10 DLCs now for a game that wasn’t free to play and still has not been released. Even the special early access ship promised to all of us for being loyal tester will probably end up as a DLC. This seems excessive to me and it feels like all they are working on is DLC content to pump their loyal base dry.

Sir Texas Sir Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 59 minutes ago, Anolytic said: Please..PLEASE make them craftable DLCs, not ship notes... Make them "Imported ship" so we cannot trade them or capture them, but make it so that the crafting permit is redeemable from the DLC, not the actual ship-note like Hercules/Le Requin. A 24/48 hour redeemable live/white teak/white 4th rate is going to bring all the problems of the Hercules in the past x10. Please. It will prob be 48 hours but I think that model going off how long it takes to craft them is poor model. It should of been something like this. Yacht every 24/24 hours cause it's a 7th rate LRQ every 36/48 hours casuse it's a 6th rate L'Hermione/Hercules every 48/72 hours cause it's a 5th rate Should prob be no 4th rates or above DLC's unless they are trade ships. I think a Indiaman DLC would be better than some combat ship, or something bigger than it, but never a war ship. If they where allowed than make it something like 60/106 hours so they are more a once a week redeem. Other wise your going to have folks in nothing but DLC and just farming every one else with redeeming there ships every 24 hours. I honestly see now point in crafting now ships if all the best ships in each class is going to be pretty much the DLC ships. That could be another way to gift all EA players with the Pandora, ok so it has to be a DLC that any one can buy right? Well on day one give every one the BP that was EA in game....bang we can not only redeem it once every so many hours but we can craft it any time we want. I like running a crafting ships cause it's my ship with my name on it. DLC ships should never be more than 3/5 ships if they are not crafted by players also. No one should be able to redeem a ship and get a gold/purple ship that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceBurg Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 so lets make the L'Hermione a DLC? Its already in game, its not even that popular of a ship, ppl hardly ever craft it, how is this not a cash grab Possible Pandora DLC? the one possibly only reward we get for being an early tester, and you just sell it to anybody, How is it a reward if anyone can have it? Sheez, just make all the ships DLC and make us pay to Sail them why don't ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just want to pop in play and have some fun and get there 40 bucks worth. I mean look at guys like me. 5 accounts worth about 250 dollars and I have about another 250 dollars in DLC content. I have over 9K hours in this game (mainly cause I wasn't working for a year and half) and I'm far from what one would call a casual. Most my alts have over 4K hours. We are the ones buying up the DLC content not the casuals and newbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
