If you never logged in to PVE server for example why should you receive something on that server after the wipe? Go sink a ship and get synched xp from your main server. If you never had any xp anywhere where it will come from.. Inactive players will have their XP on the server where they were active last. If they never visited other servers.. well. XP is safe on the server they always played. now your claims about lies and lack of respect are breaking several forum rules. Continue this way on the official forums and we will transfer your forum account to reddit. We don't care about toxic reviews - sorry.

final asset wipe will happen on release xp will either be saved as a redeemable now (with some risks that a lot of players will make mistakes and ruin their xp) - game might change before release or it will be saved and given as a redeemable on release (where less changes will happen) either in form of gift to all early access players or in some other form.

we think that we better make ensigns rear admiral and add 3 more ranks (admiral, secretary of the navy, 3rd Lord etc) than have problems with rear admirals who lost redeemables because their cat used it accidentally. we don't believe ensigns are coming back in droves as well.

Pandora will be like yacht.. it is tied to steam as DLC and has a steam key and everything. Thus SHE won't have problems with account deletions or player removals or server changes. (yacht is a hidden DLC)

next week

If you logged in yesterday to all three - you will be fine you only need to login and do something (sink a ship) ONLY on the servers you have not played actively for some time.

Current preliminary proposal (using redeemables) has the following drawbacks 1) it does not allow to test new player experince 2) kids can delete your redeemables 3) you can redeem by mistake and then change you mind 4) you might be a late comer who never had a character on one of the servers 5) you might have been in space and never read any news redeemables now have a potential problem. Person deletes it - loses everything, with no way to recover. Full wipe now and full grant of max rank to ALL players who participated in early access release has no above mentioned drawbacks. You will get rank even if you were in space You will get rank even if someone deleted something or you wanted to change nation 5 times You will get rank higher than your current one and if you don't like it - delete after release and start fresh.

Here is a short update on ship crafting and crafting XP There will be no more dropped rare blueprints. Crafting XP will only be granted for crafting ships Ships BP will be split into two groups 1) Available - most ships that unlock based on rank (not based on grind) 2) Admiralty or other organizations - blueprints available for marks (pve/pvp/conquest) or loyalty points (or that organization level) Certain high level ships will require admiralty items for construction (available from admiralties for marks) for every ship built. As a result. All ships (except for developer gift ships or potentially 2-3 premium vessels) will be available to all players with clear way to receive them based on their effort (and not luck).

We can't keep XP sync due to the way battle rewards work now. We properly count all kills and assists now and admiralty awards you those even if you exited the battle and ship was killed after you left + many other similar issues. Sync xp was ruining those things. XP Sync is not coming back and won't be kept if we want live server patched.

a month

No XP wipe means XP is safe and will be provided on release in that case. You won't lose it and might get even more. We are not changing the mind about it.

thats why this announcement is PRELIMINARY we want to see if the community can help find the better option. As usual good thoughts come last - maybe full wipe now and present for all EA suffering in term of max rank solves all problems with redeemables and other crap associated with them + allows to retest new player experience.

can you do a poll please?

Alliances will be switched off until further notice. If they come back they will come back only for underpopulated nations based on their online numbers.

you will have 1 xp and 1 craft xp redeemable on each server.

There is an alternative of course We can wipe everything now including XP AND just provide rear admiral rank to everyone who played during EA solving all potential redeemables and late comer problems. Active players are max rank anyway. And we doubt retired players will come back and doubt they will be unhappy with rear admiral rank.

updated the post you only need to sink a ship on other servers you were not active on (not you main server).

Everything should be fine.. but we would recommend to sink any ship to be sure.

this can only happen if they login use the redeem and then delete the player.

Captains This is a very important announcement and must not be ignored. XP Synchronization will be removed from the game in the next patch that will come with the asset wipe. Due to these changes we recommend the following flow of action. Checklist Login to all servers you were not active and check your rank. If your rank is good enough for you you don't have to do anything. If your rank is for some reason lower than on your main server go on and sink one ship (which ship does not matter). This will update your character XP to your current max level on the servers you were not active. You don't have to do it on the main server. repeat procedure for all servers that are not your main server. Notify your friends who are not playing, but plan to return to game to do the same. Wait for wipe During the wipe day, your current XP and Crafting XP will be provided on all three servers as a redeemable (usable item) Each server will have 2 separate redeemables: one craft XP and one Battle XP (6 in total if you have characters on each server) Deletion or creation of new characters does not remove redeemables UNTIL you use them If you are not sure about your nation choice or the future - DO NOT USE THE XP REDEEMABLES until you are absolutely sure about your nation choice. Use of redeemables is FINAL and cannot be reversed DO NOT USE THE XP REDEEMABLES until you are absolutely sure about your nation choice You can keep the XP redeemables for as long as you want.

There are no red(outlaw) pirates. We just brought back the mechanics of pirates being able to attack a pirate (creating outlaw battle). If you already have your pirate you don't have to do anything. If outlaw class is introduced in the future - players will be able to become an outlaw without formal nation switch. It will be done by in game means - for example by doing very bad deeds.

дырявый ковер все равно ветром сдувает - мы вот думаем может это учесть при сносе парусов - а книпеля больше завязать на блокирование рей и подъема опускания по игре в борт есть перекосы но в целом задача только ускорить бой и динамику дав разнообразие элементов победы и противодействия Задача тестеров воевать на тестовом сервере и предлагать изменения и улучшения живые сервера мы как говорили еще в начале года мы апдейтить не собираемся до вайпа все патчи (уже было выдано 5) идут только на тестовый

снос мачт имеет одну проблему = билет в один конец нет каунтера/противодействия = кнопка "нагнуть" поэтому их и сложно отбалансить

абордаж не пропадет - но абордаж на рейхах уменьшится - так как будет историчное число морпехов на всех кораблях книпелля думаем ограничить по количеству выстрелов мачты будут только легкие тюны перекосов (мачты триньки против консты например)
