it will unlock if you sailed that ship if it did not unlock its a bug - please report it

they carry varied resource supply. Some can carry full hold of rare goods.

only for some rare resources.. but there will be no significant changes in locations. We had to change locations during fine woods patch due to change of systems how resources are generated and it was painful for crafters.

We understand. But then players will just surrender to each other and farm xp all day. We want them to fight and sink and provide demand for crafters.

@koltes Testbed in germany - but its not a production level environment (like live servers) thus it can be laggy indeed for some regions.

Because money now are a very limited resource (and will get even more limited) players will pay good money for you to find those resources and bring them to them. You can make them or steal them. Resources don't grow on trees and players will have to cooperate with others to build things. Like in some kind of MMO.

On release we had 4 hour cooldown between any teleports for at least 5-6 months. Currently we dont know if outpost to outpost fast travel options will remain. yet. But we will test it without fast travel at all after the wipe. Global chat removal is still under consideration yes. We tried multiple methods to encourage pvp, testing shown that real pvp players dont need encouragement. By forcing everyone to sail in the OW and removing safe crafting transport we create a lot of opportunities for pvp - a lot more than before. Yes. Capture the ship, bring the prize back home. Lost a ship? - Try to recapture he is definitely sailing that vessel to the nearest FT. Paint schemes will be crafted in the future. Blueprints and/or paints will be sold in admiralty store or on steam as DLC packs. Some paints will drop as rare loot as before.

currently the only workaround is to delete player and dont do missions then. sorry for the inconvinience. this bug will only be fixed next week

Exactly the plan. Someone does not want to mine iron and cut wood - so you do it, make carriages and sell him at huge mark up. This will make prices go up and down and market will finally work like a market. If no-one needs your carriages you switch to stone or repair kits.

capturing ships provides free unlimited supply of money. NPCs stopped buying ships as a result. They dont need them. Break them or sell them to players at lower than NPC prices through contracts.

so its just missions are bugged? not all combat?

based on the amount of the resources on live servers we can assure you 5 factories/mines are MORE than enough to supply players with everything We even think 5 is too much.

coffee will check. if it is a trading resource - NPC traders will bring it to market from time to time. If it can be crafted by players it will only be available from players.

manifests are under review. we dont want fake content in game and we do not have enough content to provide meaningful selection of interesting contend traded for trading manifests.

Trader tool shows that the resources could be available in that port. Not that it is actually available. All resources and materials must be created by players now. NPC donэt know how to produce them any more. They buy them though, sometimes at good prices.

some people are oblivious to the problems other people are having. Some see this problems better, most don;t see them. To be sure your problems are seen most of the times you have to speak up. When speaking up you have to state clearly (this is a feedback topic) what is wrong, what is right, why it is wrong, and how you would change it. If you don't state it your post is useless. It becomes a shitpost. Because we are trying to reduce the useless content in patch we recommend to experienced players (especially veterans like you) to avoid useless posts at all costs. We will remove people who don't understand this from the forums.

I am not sure where you get the info but please stop misleading people. The current patch work started in march. We deployed 5 patches + this one to testbed since December and lots of new features were there already. This patch focused on knowledge/perk system and hold management in instances, which is a very complex task Testbed IS a buggy mess and will remain until release. We will deploy new things to testbed as it allows us to stay flexible in testing adding removing things, money,xp as we go. Regarding speed of development - we never promised anything in regards to speed or timing. We already delivered all promises we gave to community when this awesome community voted for the game on Steam greenlight. We also always said expect the worst. Thus we are not sure why are you upset it took us 1.5 months to get this patch to somewhat playable state. From now on @Wraith please focus on providing feedback. State whats wrong, state why, state how would you change it. Everything else is useless in the patch feedback topics.

Tavern.. sometimes topics slip through drunken smoke . The discussion has been civil so far.

tavern post - alllowed

The jerk has already farted in your face. Yes we/mods can punish him immediately or based on reports on every friday but you cant remove or forget the fact that it happened. You might forget it.. But some wont. Also you had no opportunity to NOT see the message if you are in battle for example. We want to remove the source - if enemies cant talk to you they cant hurt you verbally. AT ALL.

nation chat and friend chat will work - you only wont be able to talk to enemies. locked

The separate game we mentioned in comments is done by a separate team. Players who don't want to sail the open world will move to arena. Players who want only open world will stay here. Coca- Cola classic and coca cola light. It will work fine. Your analysis was deleted because you probably was quoting something off topic or because the thread had to be cleared from 300 posts.. If you feel your information was very important and related to the thread post it again. If you think it is important and not related to the thread post it elsewhere. This topic is about the patch for testbed - nothing else.

Your question was about team size and recruitment. hiring decisions and team size are completely irrelevant to the forthcoming testbed patch information. Lets slowly help you to post relevant questions or comments in the relevant topics. Start a new topic in the general discussions or in the QA section. For this thread - your question was completely off topic and irrelevant. Its impossible to gather feedback on patches when players like you past whatever they want wherever they want. Making our job harder. Do it one more time and we will think that you want to clutter this thread on purpose.

Don't waste our time by unnecessary sarcasm, veiled trolling and pizza crap. We value your contribution but everything comes to the end, We found that giving someone like you (a good person) a minor break usually leads the whole thread trashed by trolls posting dying animals and pizza photos. If you are a constructive person (as you say) you should have told them that that is nor place nor time to post crap in the topic, but you did not. Thus raising doubts about your intentions..If it happens again you will get banned. We recommend players trying to push off topic or sarcasm into development discussions to avoid that at all costs. Feel free to express yourself in the tavern. Development topics are moderated areas where we come to get information. Now lets get back to patch discussion.
