Mad Dog Morgan Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @admin I realise it must be great for sales pushing more and more players to use DLC ships, but the Splinter Resistance is too high. Keep seasoned woods on DLC ships if you must, but please reconsider the splinter resistance percentages. Not surprising so few players now use 6th rates.

Not changing them would be to only allow normal woods on them, when you bought them they had no seasoned wood. 🤔 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same for me with Leopard. But I don't think they change them anyway so not much to worry about. Many people will buy for the same reason for future and bigger ships that will drop even more seasoned wood. Good for sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by my original statement though. Seasoned Woods were a mistake and are fine woods 2.0...they should be reverted. otherwise, Game is actually in a great state. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Seasoned woods aren't necessarily a bad idea, However DLC ships should not be dropping it given the prices it goes for. Once the economy catches up to the demand for it, I think it'll be less of an issue. *That being said* it is rough that those of us who forked out for a DLC ship can get on demand, an objectively better ship with a wood type that is quite spendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOkieDokie Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have all the dlcs and I went near three weeks without getting a single s log. That's breaking up all of them everyday. It's not as op as you may think. And even if we did get a lot of s wood from our dlc that would bring down the market value of it. Not to mention at the prices for the bigger dlcs ships.. Imo its financially logical for the dev's to keep it the way it is. I hear there may be plans to make smaller privateer fleets and that will drastically bring down the prices.

BoatyMcBoatFace Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 seasoned woods gave clans a lot to work together for as a unit. on that front it is an amazing thing. removing them now will just shaft everybody who spent all the effort setting up infrastructure for it. give it time. in 6 months there will be plenty of them and prices will level down as more people get into it. and as you begin taking players seasoned ships, you will change your story to how we need more seasoned ships for you to take......... now on the other hand, repair price gouging is a serious problem! its like they are made of seasoned woods....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl of Grey Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Not sure If price of seasoned wood will drop unless we get the promised small privateer fleets ... I have a feeling that most big clans already gave up farming the privateers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Morgan Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Think some are missing the point, the problem isn't that I don't have a ship with seasoned woods, the problem is the Splinter Resistance is too high and raking itself becomes even more broken. Sailing a Prince Fire a single shot from a 6 lb bow chaser into the stern of a Vic and kill 48 crew do the same to a L Herm or Leopard with S Woods and kill none. Ideal rake broadside into a S Wood ship and kill 5 crew do the same to a Vic without S Woods and kills over 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrubbyZebra Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I don't mind the DLC ships using seasoned woods, but it should be via the same RNG as the other parts of the build (number of upgrade slots, regional refits) and not user-selectable. And yes, I bought DLC's and redeem them all as seasoned wood frame/planking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I know splint resistance is just a % that lowers incoming crew damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erelkivtuadrater Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) By all means, maybe splinter damage should be higher considering the splinters that shatter from the frame are much more stiff, which would mean they would be sharper and be more dangerous towards the crew. It should also have FAR less fire resistance considering the internal part of the wood is completely dry But hey, dont give the seasoned woods any cons Edited January 21, 2020 by erelkivtuadrater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoatyMcBoatFace Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I sail plenty DLC ships. I can assure you your claims of those crew numbers are false. I am not sure how you came up with them... The ai eats plenty of my crew with their random pot shots and a player actually getting a rake on me once my rear is down (which is typically in 1 broadside for most ships), is devastating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 6lb chasers should not kill 200 people on any ship. Not even 50... And in my opinion a Prince de Neufchatel(or a Snow) shouldn’t be able in any way to gun down the crew of a Victory to a point where it can board it and win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
