Sir Texas Sir

Why does it not take doubloons out of your chest? I had ot move them back to my warhouse to upgrade my shipyard.....grrrrrrr going to go get me a drink.....getting pissy all ready. The cost to upgrade these things seem way hight than the gold/real I got from my conversion too as I had 10 buildings on my chars and level 3's buildings on all them.

SO we are getting more redeemabels but they havne't dropped? I had three level 3 shipyard on my crafter and he has only your 2000 Doubloons (no reason for him to have PvP marks). I can't even set him up cause it corst more than that to make level three ship yards...... And why is your ping through the rough? I"m getting 700 ping and lagging bad with only 350 players on.

2000 won't go far, seems shipyard 2 and 3 takes Real and Dabloons to upgrade, which I didn't get any to comp for the level 3 I lost. Academy takes 2K Doobloons for what ever it does @admin before we pay for something can you post what the hell it does? Why don't we have Dabloons for the level 3 shipyards and other things that take them? I'm also getting twice as much ping than normal and I'm lagging very bad.....grrrrrrrr.

Maybe something like a war bond or land bond? Since you only get them if you have Lord Protector Status. Than allow it to be traded for things like Doubloons and maybe a few items you can't get with Doubloons too like paints and flags.

I went to the store to get a pizza and it's in the oven right now. I had it all planed out get home, pre-heat oven while in shower, toss Pizza in oven and sit down and get eveyr thing uploaded. Than eat said pizza while I figure out what all wasn't on Testbed.......still waiting...I won't pop the pizza in until it's done updating. we do have ping on both servers so that is a good sign, close.

They didn't do anything new, but I suggested it as they kinda only can be used for very little before hand other than convert into CM and 1st rate Permits.

Remember the numbers on testbed where told to us that they aren't close to real numbers. So we don't know what it will cost until the patch is live.......until than we can beg for paints right? I still don't know why the prince has more BR than the H Rattler, I honestly liked the old BR system that had set BR's. Pretty much the Prince, H Rattler, Mortar Brig and Niagara should all have the same BR. They where very well balanced for shalllow water fights with most having a good mix of all three and some Navy Brigs thrown in before these DLC ships showed up. Though I'm just happy the Req isn't in shallow PB's any more.

Hmmm interesting would like to test this for sure, but maybe it should be average weekly tax or something cause some ports might make only money once every three days (when folks do trade/econ runs and buy stuff). So some one might attack on the off days when BR is low. Also would be nice if we had more port option for owning clan. Pay for extra forts or even increese in BR with your tax's so it feels like they are going to something usefull instead of limbo.

Shhhhhh I was being a noob and speed read it, even missed the 2000 Doubloons part. Some of the ports should have 25 ships. I'm sorry we have to many ports that only have 5-6 ships which are important ports. Why shouldn't a nation have a chance to get 25 ships into a port battle. Though I do agree some of the shallow ports actually have had BR way over 25 of the top shallow ships, but reallly a lot of ports need BR check cause in deep we have way to many ports around the 2500 range and some of them are very key econ ports. They should have higher BR's. While the less important ports that don't reallly have much should have the low BR's.

We don't know the conversion rate for them yet or cost of things. That could be like 10 PvP marks for all we know.

I NEED TO READ THE PATCH NOTES.......didn't see the part we get some for starters.....

1......WHAT? How you know this? Mine still saying the server is updateing or did I miss that in the patch notes? @admin ON the server screen I clicked on the notes and it has some code error looking stuff before the test. Like what you would use for spaces and color and such (I'm not fancy with code). Might want to check that. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1552673625

Dangit still updating? Well guess I'll make some dinner and get cleaned up from work. Was expecting it to be done by now.

Take it you didn’t rank up on testbed?

I got it in one of my chars the only one that isn’t RA so he can grind it’s slots out as he’s Commodore.

@admin I’ll check things out more when I get home from work. Have we thought about what VM will be good for? I was thinking they could also be traded in for doubloons. This way if some one doesn’t PvP a lot or grind mission, but have been apart RvR they can trade the mark in for doubloons. This would be helpful for the guys that doe more trade than combat, but still help out in port battles. Specially if the screeners do there job and keep the fleet out of the port. PS what about paints?

I miss a lot of the old paints and I’m cool with them later being a DLC after release of the game but there is no reason to not have them in game right now. Would make great rewards for missions and such. Would give folks even more reason to buy the DLC when the game goes live.

About 500K is what we lost last night. I put our Clan stock at 10 Million on purpose and told no one to put into it until this patch drop just to test what we loose. Normally with the lost of Harbor Island we have been earning money cause Marsh brings in on average 1-2.5 million (it use to break even with Harbor Island and the three none important ports). This is just the numbers a small clan (well pretty much biggest active in US) that holds 4 ports. Awww there is the numbers...yep as I counted CSA was about 500K last night. Figure it will be about the same tonight too. I'm wondering if this drags out longer how many of the more dead/AFK clans might clean house a bit, but I'm sure any big ones has tons and tons of money stocked up any way. Maybe that was the point @admin and the devs just want to eat up a bunch of gold before the patch (looks like it's going to be tomorrow according to the Steam UPdate files). https://steamdb.info/app/311310/depots/

Nope I'm pretty sure I was responding to @William Death some one that I have fought in the pass on diffrent sides, been clan mate and fought beside each other and now back to diffrent sides even though we haven't ran into each other yet (something about crazy work hours). I'll even link my last post, but if it was anything before that and I was commenting on @Slim McSauce post that still has nothing to do with you. Do ya'll still call him "Willis?" Cause than that would be making fun of him. As much as our play styles are different I do agree it works for @William Death, but we both play differently too just as I assume you do too. Funny the other day we where chasing some one and I said in battle, "Burn any repairs if you got them cause it will give you a slight speed boost." See he's even rubbed off on me too a bit, or it's just a logical tactic that can be used by both sides.

Why you got to be so mean? #NOCHRISTIANFORINTREPIDOTOO Could do like some games and have x2...x5 weekends and such. They could do x something xp/gold until the big patch drop. Would be good for us to test stuff like that.

From yesterday....but it's kinda funny we have all the contracts removed on that day.. Do as @admin said yesterday, if you can't afford than drop timers......Can't believe a dev would say such a thing when they remove a mechanic for a game, you don't just half ass it and tell your costumers to suck it up...you disable what it effects or comp your chars for putting up with the error. Wait we could get paints maybe to make up for the lost income?

Was I talking to you? I'm pretty sure I didn't quote you so I wasn't talking about you, but hay if your going to get all worked up about it than prob you are one of the ones that do it. Though since your not using your in game name I have no clue who you are. Yep double check I was talking to @William Death not you....but hay if the shoe fits.

I think I only ran out once and the other guys didn't know it but i keep a med load except for grinding/hostilty. I still think we should only be able to repair in Battle Sails or slower and that will fix the repair problem. Well make it where they aren't just spammed as some one guys full sails.

I totally forgot that was yesterday....lol

I more want Weds to be here, that is when all the parts to my new desktop gets here. Of course prob just enough time for me to put every thing together and than I'll have to go to work. That still doesn't change the fact that the Government (DEV TEAM) is screwing over any one that owns ports as they prob won't make crap all week cause well no contracts. That is why they should turn off port maintenance until the patch drops. #TEAPARTY #TAXATIONWITHOUTREPRESENTATION
