this will change soon(tm) we will post roadmap within a week. On the roadmap there will be limited NPC agression both on PVP and PVE server which will help with the seal clubbing a lot.

This will help you There was no introduction of any values on any sail after the wipe. Topic locked. Kind reminder Developers have all the rights to change any values in the game and will do so if needed. Players spreading false information posting clear fabrications (like spanker curves were changed after the wipe - which is a lie) will get banned both in game or on forums

thank you very much!

не будет работать потому что прорывать надо будет канал в текстуре и на карте а вот потопить флот чтобы сделать проход мелководным звучит интересно

you could have opened the hold of your ship for this screenshot to show the chest.. otherwise it is invisible and not obvious did you report the bug with F11?

mystical bug maybe you typed something in chat that affected the guns. Next time it happens please report F11 and maybe shoot a small video.

You are not a very negative person - you should not twist he words for others, and maybe accept reality as it is - which will bring peace. We did not say people should leave (especially those who think differently) We just said we have ramen. only ramen. You can have any ramen you want. But we don't have french fries lobby content. We could cook them - but they wont be good and wont be cheap. Ramen on the other hand - will be the best. You would not ask a ramen shop to cook you something not on the menu Because you (or I or someone) have to pay for it - i explained above. So the duel room as i said can be fixed very fast if there REAL demand that can only be proven in a monetary exchange of goods. You provide monthly sub - we provide duel room for that sub. How much would you pay for the duel room - and will you pay in advance for 12 moths? (because to get good price for duel room servers i have to buy them for a year)

Players do what's they want - they want to experience a fantasy - winning in the age of sail. Evade if you are weak, Amass power to get strong.. and crush your enemies by force AND numbers AND sometimes time.. There should be no doubts left for everyone here. This is what players LOVE to do. Duel room is also part of this fantasy due to solo small ship actions. But duels in real life happened a lot AND they happen in NA a lot. And that's why duels will only happen in OW. We understand of course that some who want duels do not want to hunt (time wasting) and do not want to take risks (ship loss). But this is a game for those who love risk in the OW and love hunting like the real frigate captains did.

Cannons have nothing to do with it. Unlockable guns exist in all arenas and progression is required for free to play arenas to survive. But maybe you did forget.. NA Arena died twice First Sea Trials - Infamous Sidestrafe was very excited for the OW plans while playing in the sea trials. But Sea trials died . In one of the last battles in March (peak was January) he literally had to fight bots live on twitch cos he could not find players - 0 other players online - only sidestrafe.. He could not find a single player 4 months after start of the arena testing. 10000 players joined - 1 (sidestrafe) was left in 4 months. Perfect chicken dinner winner. Thanks to community gods we already had a working OW prototype by then and moved everyone to the caribbean (online jumped and never went down below 100! even with low sales with no crafting and no trading. It was just OW npc hunting and pvp and despite that it has way better player numbers compared to arena) NA Legends: Same exact thing and timing happened with Legends. Some say it was guns, some say it was bots. But no. They are all mistaken. It was the arena itself. Arenas/MOBAs only survive if they get to top 1 or top 2 spot. Otherwise they die. If you have no players any arena dies. All mobas that did not get to pole position died. Unlike niche games it is a winner takes all concept. Just think about these numbers NA - legends was given for FREE to 120,000 people and only 11000 logged in and online was 0 in 3 months. (reminder about cannons - sea trials had no progression with the exception of ship unlocks and it died in 4 months). Nobody wanted it - except for people who want fair combat. But those left too because they did not want fair combat against bots. In comparison NA OW never went below 250-300 people during the worst patches with very low monthly sales We closed the arena topic for ourselves. There is no retention there. Proven twice. with pure product and with product with several progression lines (cannons/officers etc) Asymmetric hunting is what makes OW exciting and it works. Just check small group pvp streams (they exist). Players who want fair 1v1 pvp should be seen more often in the solo patrol area. Regarding duel rooms and testing rooms. We had them (duels, small battles, large battles, tournament room) as a appendix leftover from sea trials. But later we realised. Duel rooms remove players from the OW, making overall experience for the community worse. They kept part of the audience in the past. Our game is OW. Players must be risking something in OW. There is no other game. Not because we are stubborn - but because we tested the OTHER game. It does not hold average players - and as a result hardcore fans of other game have to fight bots and also leave.. Solo and Clan based tournaments might come back in form of official quarterly event. But again. We would prefer to do them in OW - old school style like wow classic will do raids when they launch. PS Small print Main reason for their removal - they steal take instance capacity from Open world (duel instances cannot be joined by other players in form of reinforcements, revenge gankers or helpers) = which means they cost more money than OW instances because i have to keep a separate server pool for them and they can be used only when people want to duel (staying idle all other time). We are all adults and know it can be solved. Duel room can be a subscription feature. This will be a real litmus test on how many people REALLY want a duel room.

New games should not discount for many reasons . + On steam new releases with newly set prices cannot change price for 30 days - NA is a New Release.

Pandora should be great for boardings and incapacitating of enemy ships Fit for speed and boarding and equip guns with high splinter damage (swivels, carronades, obusiers) and get close. enemy crews should melt. Let us know in comments if it is not working as intended.

new update coming soon please let us know what you want to see in the new roadmap

Remember ships can capsize if you hit them properly at proper angles.

agree but at this stage this is the best maintenance time for constant patching once patches slow down and we will move to seasonal large updates maintenance tme can be moved. hold on. there is also a consideration of the NZ/AUS/China/Japan/Korea server if the demand is high. Lets see in 1-2 months.

Repeated message National chat IS NOT SAFE and can be read by spies!

problem was fixed at 1 am kiev time bots can be added without server restarts

NPC ships numbers were drastically increased. Players need bots

Issue have been identified.. WILL BE FIXED TOMORROW DURING MAINTENANCE

will check

Captains! Naval action has been launched from Early Access. This game has been in early access since early 1716. This long time was spent on perfecting the combat model and sailing simulation; which many claim is the best in the world. Other experiments, some successful, some not so much, have been done. No game has come close to the replication of the Age of Sail sailing mechanics and combat. Thank you all for your feedback, bug reports and constructive criticism - you helped to make the game better. In the next 2 weeks we plan to stabilize the build, provide final updates for localization (including the steam page) and publish the roadmap for 2019. Thank you again. ps. No more wipes or resets! Release fixes Clan allies friend list now allows search Obusier and Congrieve Guns now have unique 3d models Port bonuses and costs rebalanced Trader ships now have 5 slots just like the combat ships Knowledge XP slots rebalanced (and were generally slightly lowered) All books and upgrades bonuses were rebalanced and slightly lowered Free camera buttons now can be reassigned (for the AZERTY Keyboards) Fixed the ignore list in instances Other localization fixes were applied

release today

Update you have to wait 5 mins for the current name to be released. after that you can create a char with the same name.

Not pushing unfinished under cooked features into the live game is not evil. Skins are under way

yes The rumours of evil devs pushing the name-change dlc by keeping player names are overrrated as you can just delete your character and immediately recreate new character for a new nation (with the same name)

separate announcement is coming - we will take applications for new moderators
