post the video.. but most likely help will be applied only tomorrow (thats why patches are never on friday)

exactly. caravans of gold escudos from belize to KPR. Lets talk about them @Christendom

Please talk about 3 issues in the topic. If you have ideas - there is a suggestions section. We have not asked your opinion on priorities in this topic. There are /were and will be multiple other topics on this (as we asked about priorities since 2013). Thus No backseating.

its very tempting. but we talked to several players we trust who craft A LOT and opinions are mixed. but its indeed tempting. Rob a player - carry gold to port, no more magic wallet.

No. We are focused on the priorities and normalizing the economy is part of it. We have full clarity now on things needed for release and this plan is set. Also please NO backseating. This is a topic about whats coming and if you have suggestions on something else post this in the suggestions forum. This topic is for asking questions on issues mentioned in the post. This concerns you too @Wraith. No backseating in patch discussions!.

no We have no plans to sell in game currency for money. and will never have this feature in game. You can hold up to this in the future.

i dont get it about the 1 hour gametime. How does it relate to final exam?

I am sorry man But once we started using data actively we know that forum feedback should be discounted heavily for vocal negativity. Forum only talks about problems as happy players play the game and dont spend forum time much. Data shows that majority of experienced players finish the final exam on the first try. You will also be very surprised once we add the timer and the name to every challenge (of the player who had the best time). Remember the pve challenge from early 2017 - who knew you can pass the full demasting challenge in less than 10 seconds. Or who knew that you can sink 3 ships in a row in 4 mins?

Thank you for the feedback Our thinking was along these lines tutorial is very easy. (first tab) challenges are harder (second tab) final exam is a hard master and commander exam (third tab) tutorial is easy exams are hard I still remember my Dark souls tutorial which i was trying to pass for over 4 hours on a console (decided to get a console for bloodborne). Also remember the satisfaction on killing that mini boss. The difference with NA was that i could not skip it.

Captains. Next 2 patches 3 important things await us. Featured clans and rookie order list In addition to combat tutorials all freshly minted Master and commanders will get a short mission list that they will have to next One of the orders will be to join a clan (this will only be provided to players who are not in a guild). Featured clan list will be added to game and only top clans will be on the list based on pve or pvp or conquest or epic event achievements. We also request veterans and large clans invite people who passed the final exam to guilds and fleets (you can see their names in chat) he/she is definitely good enough to go straight to pvp. Open world UI update Partial UI update will be added to game for testing mostly covering the open world functionality and the map Real currency and denomination Current name for in game currency is outdated (it was always only for temp name). The game will move to a Caribbean currencies of the 18th century New currencies In game gold will be replaced by Real (or Spanish reals) Pieces of eight will be introduced (or 8 Reals Coin or piastr) Double Escudo or Doublooon (or Lous D`Or or Pistole) will be introduced Silver 8 Reals and gold double escudo will be freely convertible between each other, but they can only be received from the government (as rewards for battles or port battles or from mint) Money will be denominated (huge denomination will be applied reducing prices to the 18th Century Caribbean levels) New building will be introduced - mint. Mint will be required tomake coins and will require victory marks to build Crafting blueprints updated for ships and shipbuilding materials Mission rewards/pve rewards/pvp rewards changed Old legacy coins and ingots removal Current Gold Coins and Silver Coins will be removed from game (you can start dumping them or use for craft if you have huge stocks) and stocks left will be compensated at denominated prices Current gold ingots and silver ingots will be removed from game and mines will be removed (and building costs compensated)

BTW. Everyone The message in chat is their on purpose. If you see a new name passing the exam - it would be a good idea to invite him to your clan - he is good enough!

10 mins maybe a stretch but i just heard on a stream - someone just boarded both cerberuses in a row and just used the last second attack/guns trick

? Skip the tutorial...

yes. thats the way you do it if you want to be safe just chain first one and then kill another one methodically sometimes sailing away to repair. Pro players will rake and rageboard both in 10 mins exam forces you to learn (checks and tests) if you can manage repairs, damage and shooting. (bots dont repair).

final exam = is an exam you are NOT SUPPOSED to pass it from the first try. Though you should have passed it on the first try. @Ink did it from first try in 45 mins.

Its a one time gift ship. The ship is fine. It's a great ship and will remain great. 80 BR is a number that is given to light ships so they can enter both shallow and deep water battles. Once other options for getting it will appear - they will be prohibitively expensive turning this vessel more to a status and power symbol.

we plan to give other options for this ship of course probably even next patch. its just now only this option is possible

same ship as yours. Guys.. practice.. all tutorials can be passed by a random 3d modeller with no naval action experience after a good number of tries. tip: use single shot.

Its called final exam for a reason. Final master and commander exam. It can be done with zero sweat in 40 mins Just chain one of the cerberuses at the start to 40-50% and kill them one by one. I know much faster time is possible than 40 mins. We plan to add a record log to every exam and show the name of the record time and name player who did it.

yes 80 br is required for ship to enter BOTH port battles.

Lets repeat this again: upgrades are not cheats you can install marines you can install boarding mods or reload mods you can install arc mods you can hit targets from afar (if you are skilled and use accuracy mods. number of upgrades depends on rank of the bot (not the ship) If you call upgrades cheats why no-one is reporting you to tribunal for using allowed upgrades? Also do me a favor go do a 40 man heroic raid in WOW and report back please - i just need your opinion if blizzard is doing fine by buffing NPCs based on rank

lets test this.. chain change is big and will take time to settle. but its a great direction. i love limited chain and much bigger damage. more realistic and historical

Currently Yes. Its a rare one time gift for the admiralty on passing the MC exam But it could change once we resolve some issues with valve (on how their dlc system work without actually being added to store) It might also appear in the admiralty - but its not decided.

Original plan was to turn cerberus into a premium ship and give it as a reward (like the yacht) But that plan crashed into some issues with steam. So we give a much better ship but as a note.

отличная находка поправим
