there is no change of direction. Bot capture breaks the game both from money and from content perspective. If you feed your kid 1kg of chocolate every day he will be very happy but his health will get ruined pretty fast. Just sink them. I don't know why you need useless low level ships. Ability to capture 1st rate from the npc breaks the game for several other gameplay styles. Its removed from the pvp server forever. Its not coming back.

We don't expect players to unlock everything. You pick the ship you like and make it matter. The rest are for other players. We are planning to increase xp reqs for 4th and 5th slots even more. 3 knowledge slots is the new normal.

16000 hp is almost 2 first rates. 500 labor hours for 2 first rates is very cheap, considering how many hours you get per day.

please stay on topic of patch don't move and swivel to other subjects in patch feedback topics please

crew is free in ports now. But to fix crew at sea players have to carry rum.

could you get this on video? 30sec 1 min video would be enough

Please don't be negative about things you made up. You can't capture ships from unlimited NPCs in EvE. You cannot capture ships from NPCs in Elite as well ( at least you could not in 2016). Capturing npc ships break games and most other mmo's don't allow capture of vessels from others. Its not GTA. NPC Capture is not coming back. So we can finally balance the economy, crafting and other content.

From what i have seen in chat you are a very dedicated player. I guarantee you there is a clan that will welcome you to their home and will support you, defend you and help you as one of their main crafters.

All right captains.. gotta go.. good night

crafters will buy marks from those who participate in rvr and provide them with ships for other benefits this is how player driven economy works. Players specialize. + We will FINALLY see mixed ships in port battles. Ps. hint hint. its very easy to defend ports now. Spain has lots of ports (i think i saw you in spanish chat this week) Perhaps if all crafters come to help to defend ports they will never run out of conquest marks.

we said somewhere before. conversion is the testbed only feature. Market will decide what the conversion rate is using game currency

Do you even know what phrase " elaborate please " means? Elaborate means - Please explain with more details. Next time maybe check what the phrase mean before jumping to conclusions

i suggest you login in and check final prices. Lineships will ONLY be available for conquest marks on the pvp servers. Conversion will be switched off.

someone hacked doran. i am now sure

Sorry. What missions are you talking about. Ships of the line require conquest marks. Conquest marks can only be received by winning port battles. There will be no missions granting conquest marks.

you can board to loot him/her. If it is a player NPC you get his repair kits. You can also pick them up from sinking ship but you are risking that it might sink faster than you get to it.

well. there is a hold bug that is limiting you from sailing. It is being searched and might get fixed soon or tomorrow. If we won't find it we will revert hold effect on OW speed.

hmmm. i thought you had a different position just last month.

you are one of them.. and you will be the one in the arena game AND here when you feel like it doing something very hard. returning to arena when you just need a quick battle. we have clarity and clarity is the best thing for game design. We know what this game is not now. And have no plans to compromise any longer.

no. pve server is for those who like capturing npc ships and arena is for those who don't like sailing long distances hunting for the target they don't know is there.. We are filling the shelf with 3 products. pvp server will be a hardcore world. and if you see a solo HMS Victory in your brig you will know that is a BAD RICH MO******KER.

we discussed it and i think it can be done but lets see. At least national ship market

that problem is indeed made up. Players just want to listen what they want to hear. I am not sure why they have problems. From 0 in 6 hours (2 evening) you are 3rd rank have 3 ships (all bought) and 80k. Just sink everything. (i did not capture anything at all).

pve server or arena game? why should we compromise. For hardcore and unforgiving world separating sailors from soldiers (soldier was a derogatory word in the british navy) go pvp server. For age of sail experience but with no risk go pve server. For no time wasting equal battles with no gank - go to arena game. Why should we compromise those three products and have a mediocre french onion soup with floating hamburger in it just because YOU like fast food?. French onion for him, hamburger for you. Separate products all perfect. We don't plan to ruin them by mixing them in one pot. We tried it - it did not work.

There is. You can't get anything if you don't pvp. Thats the main encouragement. If you look at the store all rewards are for conquest or pvp only. PVE/PVP marks conversions will only exist on the PVE server. Missions and npc are for quick cash/loot only.

i did - what do you want to know?
