Guest raat Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Mast loss in battle? Hi Guys, You are doing a super job on this. I'm happy............ Observation: In my readings, it seems that masts going overboard/ shot away, in battle was frequent and common. Sometimes all three. It seems not so much in the game? Is this by design or will you adjust for more reality later? thanks and keep it up!! I don't know how long you've been playing, but masts falling away was very common a few weeks ago. So much so, it really took a lot of enjoyment out of the battle for people (including myself) because people would just aim exclusively for masts most of the time. In response, the masts were given a little bit more HP. That being said, if you focus a ships masts with ball ammo in a larger ship, it's quite easy to demast them still. The problem is that with it so frequent, it ruined the strategic gameplay that this game is famous. Matches were simply shoot masts; whomever is demasted first loses. Once the enemies' masts are gone, just go park behind them and raked them with impunity until death. I think it's a good balance they struck since there's no way to surrender currently in game. Even if surrender was in game (which it will be I believe), demasting with ease would take quite a bit of fun out of battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGS Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I asked earlier, but not sure if it got missed: Do you have a very rough idea when you'll open up sales again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGS Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, understood, but is there a very rough time-frame as to when that's likely to happen? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileus Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, understood, but is there a very rough time-frame as to when that's likely to happen? Thanks. When everything is prepped up and done. That's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigand Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, understood, but is there a very rough time-frame as to when that's likely to happen? Thanks. I can understand to you want to have some sort of time-frame indication, but unfortunately, at this point in time the information is just not available. My personal guess is that it will not happen before everyone who has Sea Trial (battle arena testing) access now is transfered to the Open World, and there is no word yet on when we can expect that to happen yet; they are working on it, but it isn't finished yet. So, sorry that there is no more precise information available, it is just how it is. ~Brigand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGS Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I just mean in very, very rough terms, such as this spring, summer or this year even? If there really is no idea whatsoever, that's cool. (unfortunately I discovered the game pretty much the day that pre-orders were withdrawn) Edited February 26, 2015 by RGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barberouge Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Will the Instances be locked after some time so noone else can join them any more? Will people who come later to the Instance spawn further away from the Action? Instances functioning isn't fully worked out in design yet, and will be finalized depending on the testing. The instance spawn times could depend on the type of battle and admiral skill. Hi Where i can find the Caribbean map from the future Open World? Here is the topic about ports, with a map: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/1647-open-world-prototype-ports-suggestions/ (the map will be close to this one) How comprehensive is crafting going to be? Will you let players craft/harvest every tradable item that the economy has? Will players be able to craft complex items that require multiple products to create? Crafting isn't fully designed yet, and will be improved during the testing. Some items will be crafted from multiple products. Here is a topic about possible materials: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/585-the-economy-and-raw-materials/ will we as Traders/Companies be able to build Farms/Plantations and store and sell? i'd like a rum distillery please, Hik! Don't expect a full crafting system from the get go, it will be very basic at the beginning. Buildings are a possibility of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_the_Stripper Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Will it be possible for the ships to explode if by some miracle somone can hit the magasins you could make it a realy realy smal target it could be a 1/500 or 1/1000 shot to do and only after the ship has been damaged to a certain point. know the USS Maine that exploded and sank in the Spanish-American War Best Regards Michelangelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormtrooperCaptain Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Can we expect a commodity based system when it comes to trading? I.E: Buy for low, sell for high at a nearby port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberouge Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Can we expect a commodity based system when it comes to trading? I.E: Buy for low, sell for high at a nearby port Trading system hasn't been tested yet. But buy - haul - sell higher should be one of the basics. The trading system will be put to testing and expanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I really want know how long does it take to make another colour for a ship for example the brig colour is gastly ( sorry) but the brown colour on the Naval action main page is more of a beauty. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/519a3512e4b00c954c606410/t/53f12cd2e4b020d5c7fca389/1408314581883/brig2.jpg?format=750w And the HMS Pickle on the page aswell wich has the grey ish like colour scheme wich looks civilian and how hard is it to change these colours like the brig to the brown? (can chose between them) http://static1.squarespace.com/static/519a3512e4b00c954c606410/t/53f12c95e4b0fe85d1626a89/1408314521875/schooner2.jpg?format=1000w And the Bellona could have two schemes the normal one http://static1.squarespace.com/static/519a3512e4b00c954c606410/t/53f12ce5e4b020d5c7fca3a3/1408314601474/3rdrate2.jpg?format=750w " and this " http://www.thedearsurprise.com/wp-content/gallery/historical-ships-from-the-series/bphon01.jpg It would make them look atleast diffrent on the battlefield and adds more to a personal ship. How long does it take to make a new colour? Im askin this becuase im going to be French Captain and i really want the Consti to have red color like the Acheron wich a topic was made of here:http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/2523-acheron/ Edited March 2, 2015 by Mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 And how hard is the game going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 On the colour question: Dont expect this in the near future. The devs clearly focus on the new damage model, open world and other stuff. The Bellona got a new paintjob a few weeks ago. Its in fact the 2nd one you posted. Still the devs said somewhere that she will get her decorations finished "soon " "How hard" is a relative question and is not specified. How hard with what? Shpfight?, moneymaking? And you cannot find the one answer right now. The fighting is as hard as it is right now. I doubt its going to be very different in the future. About moneymaking adn maybe open world business.. there is no answer yet. at all.. Once everyone had a go on the Open World we will see how it went.

Jack Redmen Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 . . . Regarding closing gun ports due to heavy seas this feature can be easily implemented and will be tested in one of the focus tests. Is there still an interest in developing this feature? I have been unable to find much discussion on it, or if was ever actually tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 norammly the guns will be X-ed out liek when you are sinking if they will close visibley that is unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Purchases will be re-opened at the time of the Steam Early Access (no ETA yet). Those days some combat features are being added, and the Open World is beginning to be tested. You can join the forum discussions while waiting for the re-opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
