So if players are only able to join the lowest BR - what are the chances they are not going to help their friends who are on the other side due to BR limits by blocking you? Or accidentally shooting you to slow you down? If they cannot enter (today's rule) what is the point of the lowest BR rule? its better to just limit the size of battles and get done with it. Solo patrol - you are on your own but cannot get ganked. Group patrol 6 players can join and that's it. Simple and easy to understand what you can face.

It is working as intended. Positions are determined in the following way. The Leaderboard is sorted by Battle Rating (BR) Then it is sorted by damage (in case BR is equal) Then it is sorted by win rate (in case damage is equal too) Battles are shown just as another statistic to see in how many battles player have achieved the result. But it is not influencing position because the goal is to get max BR for ten kills.

I think you misread language again. You do not determine a good feature with a pat on the back. You see usage in data. Exploration was dropped, crafting was simplified for a simple reason. It either should be done well and work well, or should be abandoned. There will be no exploration in NA because good exploration is impossible without map resets and /or finite resources a-la SWG.

We have not yet decided what we are going to do with rare ships and how to maintain rarity if they are craft-able. Christian being a 2nd rate cannot be a DLC, there was an interesting proposal to change all new dlc ships to permits, but we did not have time to address this idea.

they will and they won't. Sometimes players want to have clarity and Solo or Group patrol gives you exactly that. Ability to find a solo or a small group engagement without any interference from ganking (as long as you get to the area like in the old school classic wow). I personally am very excited about frigate only 1v1 patrol for example. Clarity and simplicity and still with risk and chance to have more action on the way or back

Time to discuss Patrol ROE. What is bothering you in patrols? We plan to add limited entry events or so called OW tournaments which will not happen in the lobby but will happen in the open world in designated areas. Solo patrol - battles will start 1v1 and immediately close. Group (or also clan based) patrol - battles will close as soon as 6 players join the battle Such patrols will probably feature the challenge leaderboards as well, that provide limited number of attempts, helping players with limited time to have equal chance with those who play non stop.

NA is an indie game done by a very small team. Impossible to compete with 100+ mln us dollar behemoths like Fallout 76 or star citizen in terms of content or quality.

There is no need for a bigger world. The goal is to provide good enough entertainment over the typical play session of a busy working player (with kids). Adding millions of square KM to it does not solve the problems for the average player.

Our next age of sail game will be set in Europe and Mediterranean.

Tweaking WASA was a mistake (caving to crying instead of looking into data) - it is an amazing ship that will come back to its glory after a buff.

i will check the settings. looks really strange.

No. Nobody forget anything. Thats why we always are careful with promises and I will insist that you are spreading wrong info based on your assumptions without any connection to reality and facts. All what was promised in early access when we started pre-orders was this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=259130636 Our webpage mentions limited number of ships and content. www.navalaction.com What we are selling is all on written on the steam store page. I would strongly suggest you read the steam official store page and steam green light page before making false confusing statements that might influence people who come here. We delivered on all our store facing promises. You should not expect ANYTHING beyond what is on steam green light and steam page to be added ever. Everything EXTRA is comes either from a desire to deliver more for free or we will have to charge for it to even make it. ps. exploration was started to be implemented in form of fishing. We have realistic fishing habitats and real caribbean fish. But exploration was abandoned because no-one ever said thank you for spending time on fishing and people honestly fish to get bottles. Thus there will be no exploration until it can be made interesting. But the key point remains. Exploration was only discussed. it was never promised on the official store pages.

The decline does not matter in early access. The game has not even released yet. We believe that with updated descriptions there will be more players playing on the Peace server in 2-3 months. And current PVP and PVE content plans will give new players new things to do, but some won't like changes. We have tested everything we needed and will steer the ship in the direction we believe is the best for the game. One thing is sure. There will be no more high end content in capitals and Top class ships will be more expensive, but if you know how to make money (by for example doing same thing Nassau owners are doing) you can support any fleet and any losses.

Nassau made 1.4 MLN REALS in tax income yesterday - (which is at least 20 first rates) only in tax income. But knowing margins people made 4-14 mln reals in trading profit that day. And thousands of players found great amount of PVE last 30 days and some never even sank. So it is all subjective and some players will just complain about things they do not like while others actually play and have fun. The patch have changed many things but we know they are for the good of the game. Some pain will happen like with all changes (or medical procedures) but the game will be more healthy long term if it clearly states what IT IS (and who it is for) and what it is not. PS. and its 10x times easier to find solo and group pvp in NA than in EVE. Sorry but it's true. Good luck in EVE man.

Hispaniola channel is not the only channel Take a fast lynx and search. Once you find good spots share in national chat or keep for yourself

does the problem still exist for you? We tweaked the distribution a little bit.

Captains who got used mindless kill missions with no variety killing same ship over and over from the same port will eventually detox. Open world hunting is the way you play this game. Here is how Hispaniola channel looks like in terms of NPCs This channel can be crossed in minutes and there are a lot of free ports in the area to rebase to. Games gives enough targets for lots of players in the historical areas. Players will adapt eventually and newcomers will not even know about the mindless kill mission grind.

US privateers will cause havoc in british waters when using the cambridge flag

but what about complaints that sailing is boring. Wont NPCs actually help the player to actually do something while sailing like evading hotspots or checking a horizon from time to time?

Main post updated

we need more variety for from the coastal regions

that's definitely a bug . i thought you want to use german flags as britain. HOLD ON ))))

You have them all - to be able to use other nation flags you have to change nation. In terms of the image the store page says - flags of your nation Naval Action Flags collection is a permanent unlock that allows you to use unique historical flags of your nation in battles.

we could consider permanent long term historical allies as additions to nations.
