Puchu Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 1st things first: How do i access the testbed server? What do i have to do to get on it? I find those changes really interesting! I love the increase of the skillcap that comes with it! I also see that 1vs1 frigate vs sol will be even more dead than it used to be. Even if you put the 1strate into perfect wind shadow of the frigate, i am sure that, if all works correctly, the wind shaddow will almost not effect the sol. Overall I like the changes. I just whish the acceleration an deceleration would be tuned down from +180%. I am curious to see how the battlesails and sail cloth changes will affect the gameplay. The way i see it, it is actully a nerf to demasting, since you will loose less speed from getting demasted. Battlesails with 3 masts might be the same sail cloth as 2 masts full sails. So you might be able to compensate more for the lack of a mast. Overall: Getting and keeping the wind will become more important than ever which i love! Fleet brawls will become a complete mess and really something you dont want to be stuck in. A blob of 1strates will be basically immobile when everyone is in the wind shadow of everyone. For fleets this will have a huge impact and commanders and sailors need to be veeery mindfull with their commands. Some angles of sailing and some fleet maneuvers will become just plain impossible. I like it. Higher skillcap. We will see how it plays out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume a new option in steam or some such? 33 minutes ago, admin said: testbed is live Not available for me...and yes, I know how to access it, unless I need a beta code this time ? (There is no testbed option in the versions dropdown this time) Or does Steam need time to "distribute" it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despe Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just now, Jan van Santen said: and thats w/o upgrades, books etc.... yes, no upgrades and no books, only long guns Wind shadows seems that works correctly and i think that battle sails are not usable. 53 per cent is too few, ship is so slow and turning rate is not increase substantially. Probably a incentive for use it is speed at 80 per cent of full sails, 20 per cent more turn rate, and less damange on sails and masts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Sekiro Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) @admin Test server gift is ok for test BUT You should give doublon too for have access to tp for have more chance of testing in battle. Cause its still OW , and less player... Maybe create Battle room for fast test. Edited August 13, 2020 by Lt Sekiro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan van Santen Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) with this kind of sailing/gunnery "x" range needs a substantial increase...or an entirely new looting method Edited August 13, 2020 by Jan van Santen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan van Santen Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) As to info: it should be added that there are redeemables..... and that one has to relog to actually get exp and reales.... I didnt know that, so I ried a new character...and lost all redeemables. It seems the redeemables are linked to Steam ID, but they are lost if character is deleted... Well, at least I learned that the hard way and got them on my alt at least Also: depending on the time testbed will run: dublons should be added to redeemables.Also some books, upgrades etc. (if testbed runs less than a month) Edited August 13, 2020 by Jan van Santen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Wallone Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Well I demasted a Rettlesnake and started to rake her with longs at 100m. With balls I nearly made no damage to her middle structure and a perfect grape salvoe only took 10-20 men out. There should be more damage in my opinion if a third rate rakes a 6th rate.

der Wallone Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) btw cudos to your designer team - I love french architecture. Do we have more crew on deck in battle? I had a battle at night and the crew reloading the guns looked great. Edited August 13, 2020 by der Wallone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
