Audacious Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Wind gusts must be located between ports and not in the middle of nowhere where not a single soul sails. Want to make life better revise your wind gust placement location. Currently it was not done properly as we could expect with early patch builds.

Gregory Rainsborough Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 If they put them closer to land though people would be complaining about raiders jumping people outside of ports with the speed boost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus MacDuff Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I don't agree with the OP. Plenty of times, I have been running in fear of the revenge fleet and a nice remote speed boost, well away from land, has saved my derriere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus MacDuff Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 They randomly change. I've been up at Charleston a few times and sometimes they are close to the port. Other times, you have to hunt for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind gusts are fine where they are. Get out a sail a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t found this to be true. The bursts allow faster open water travel over long distance providing you pay attention to the map and tack over to each burst point as necessary as you go ultimately to your destination. It’s not needed to go from Nassau to Frozen Cay. It’s sort of a (quite imperfect) recreation of how during the age of sail, ships might have to sail north then southwest, then northwest just to reach a point due west of their original location.

Look at KPR or Mortimer. At capitals the wind gusts are at places where hunters will camp, just border of old greenzones So hunters wait with wind bonus, while guys sailing away from ports do not have the bonus. They should be close to the capital ports, a risky distance for an hunter, but also not too close the ports. For normal ports it should be away.

I'm not sure the turbo wind boosts are MOSTLY for decreasing sailing time. They could be used more as; a buff for attacking, and ambush points. If they were truly for decreasing sailing time there would be no turbo boosts near any ports: they would all be located out on the open ocean far from shore. having boosts for short distance sails doesn't save much net time. When the journey normally takes five minutes and we have to alter course to reach the turbo boost, we save 30 seconds or a minute.

Kubrat Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Do not agree with this suggestion. I have no issue with the wind gusts being right where they are. Anyone doing long distance sailing knows how useful they are, and that is what they are meant to be there for, not to assist ganking. IMO traders that are complaining that they have to sail out to sea a bit are missing the point. Sail out - avoid gankers by doing so - pick up a gust, chain gust until n/w/e/w whatever of your destination, and then roll in at full speed. Makes trading a breeze. People need to stop thinking the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. These are sailboats, no airplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
