It needs it's speed and turn rate back for sure, it's way under gun compare to the Bucc. Hell have to check but I think the Bucc is even faster than her now. Going off 3 deck looks like devs went with her later config and not early. .1794Broadside Weight = 1356 Russian Pood (15345.96 lbs 6929.424 kg)RWAS Lower Gun Deck6 Russian 1-Pood Edinorog (1780) Lower Gun Deck24 Russian 36-Pounder Upper Gun Deck6 Russian 1-Pood Edinorog (1780) Upper Gun Deck26 Russian 24-Pounder Quarterdeck/Forecastle24 Russian 18-Pounder Roundhouse4 Russian 1/4-Pood Edinorog 1798Broadside Weight = 1131 Russian Artillery Pound (12264.09 lbs 5537.9304 kg)RWAS Lower Gun Deck6 Russian 1-Pood Edinorog (1780) Lower Gun Deck24 Russian 36-Pounder Upper Gun Deck4 Russian 1-Pood Edinorog (1780) Upper Gun Deck26 Russian 24-Pounder Quarterdeck/Forecastle24 Russian 6-Pounder And yes she had poods back than it. Would be interested if they made her mix deck like the prince and added slots that only Poods can fill or nomal 18's. I would move those 4 guns every one hates to her bow and make them chasers. Which would give her something diffrent over the bucc actual chasers and Honestly the 6 lbs are pretty much worthless at that tier other than shooting small boats and chaining sails. Would be interesting if it got 18's instead of the 42's carros the bucc can carry. It would make it more the chaser range support ship while the Bucc is the up close brawler.

I went and subscribe to reddit, but I wonder if it's another one cause most of the info there is 3 months old or older so I'm not sure what info was posted as per said above. So I"m kinda wondering about this too. Can you maybe link the reddit post they commented on please. Same with the streamer, if it's who I think it he put's up saved copies of his stream we can go back and watch. I would go back and watch if there is updated info hinted in them. Well unless it's all in Russian, cause I can't use translators like I do on here when I check Russian post.

Why reddit and streams, shouldn't it be posted in the actual OFFICIAL FORUMS? Not just in one language section that most of the users don't use? That is my only complaint is it seems they want to inform their little buddies but not the gamer as a whole? Hell I'll be honest didn't even know we had an active reddit for this game, but I should not be getting important game patches and other things info from third hand in other formats. Also this patch was suppose to be ready back in like April, but like all the other big patches they never make there ETA and get pushed back several months. THough it would be nice if they would drop a hint as to why instead of folks sitting around with there thumbs up there arse waiting on a patch to drop. I mean we are told to turn our resources into April 19 gives us big hints of what to come, no ETA mention, but be ready. Than we get this on May 4th stating 20-30 days. Well it's 20-30 days so would be nice if we got an update post about what is going on. I'm fine if it takes another 30 days if that is what they need, just don't drop hints to your buddies and not the whole game. We have this forums for a reason. They need to be using it instead of dropping hints in reddit or some Russian Streamers stream. If you than make a post shortly after to update the rest of us. With them getting closer to the actual patch maybe dropping they could also do an update on the above post that gives us more details on what to expect and what we could do before than to get ready for the patch. I'm sure things as always have changed since that last post stating on what we should do with our resources has changed. Not to mention some of us are really wondering about this new currency thing and what we should do to get ready for it. Maybe what buildings will be gone so we don't have to make new ones and just burn up old resources. There is a lot of detail they seem to always forget to pass on to us to make things easier. I know a lot of folks that have been waiting on this patch to return and if it keeps dragging out they will keep loosing interest just as many current players are going off and playing other games.

Well at least they answer the Russians. Just a reminder it is June so I just assume some time by the end of this month.

Casue exactly what you said, it's today's french naval ranks, all the ranks except for Pirates are based off the time period Ranks. Like US does not have a Commodore rank any more as the ranks changed from using Traditional British ranks to what we have now. Remember folks that they are talking about adding 5 more ranks when the game release so if your military had more ranks/grades they might get in there. And I agree the Pirates are kinda silly and kinda wish they had better names after having played pirate for so long, but hard to give them a structure military rank when that was not what they where meant to be. Maybe we will see that get changed if they ever get to pirate mechanics in game.

When your told several times end of the month, end of the month you expect it to happen at the end of the month. There is a lot of stuff folks are suppose to be doing to maybe get ready for this. We have so much dock space saved with ships right now we can't even hardly get out. Well figure I'll just sail the normal ones any way and make a little money. Remember I'm not dealing with just myself, but also a whole clan and well I'm sure a good part of a Nation that wants to know this info too. Cause honestly many of them don't come on here at all. They get there info in game. See and this is half the problem....WHO'S STREAM? And why wasn't the info passed on to the rest of the players? I'm sorry I can't be on every time certain pet streams get on line to translate or read admins comments that should be posted on here and update for the rest of us. Though it's not surprising, I mean how many other patches that was only suppose to come out in a month or two took pretty much 3-6 months later to actually come out. If they are that behind on the UI still than I'm suspect end of June/July for the patch. Let us know so we can just go play other games and not sit around waiting on a pretty dead server for something to happen. @admin @Ink Can we maybe get an updated ETA of the patch please posted? With maybe some updated info of things we might need to do to get ready for when the patch does drop?

I pretty much given up on the by end of month...if it was going to be tomorrow or something I don't see why they would do a hotfix today. Well maybe next month or year.....

90 min down time, could this be patch day?

It has never been a simulator and when we had the Long/Lat it was fine, just a bunch of hard core players cried about it and got it changed. Honestly most of those players where using third party apps too. I know a lot of guys do so it really didn't change anything other than making it harder on the new players. No one has ever asked for GPS dots on the map, just the tools you would have at that time to get your general location on charts/maps like they would.

Oh we weren't surprised at all. Pretty much CSA and VCO was taking bets the moment they said they where coming back to US how long it will be until they run off to some other nation. Hay more power to them, just though they would pick a better nation than to run off to make one that has all ready a pretty strong RvR force in our timezone. Hell British would of been a good pick cause they are honestly hurting for players that want to fight. Even Spain would been a good pick and they could fight both US and French. Well either way hope we get this dang patch dropped and we get some numbers back cause right now something needs to change in game. I been spending most my time playing other games and just popping in doing econ and seeing how the guys are doing for the most part and a lot of other players are doing the same.

Yep they should of been removed the moment the picked to change nations. Memorial Weekend prob didn't help with the numbers. I was at my sisters all weekend so didn't even think about the game. YOu mean kinda like how Rax's had UISK and VCO all removed from Russian TS as soon as we started to change over. We still both had people in Russian clans helping them out (and showing up to screen for them with US main chars) and we weren't hunting any Russians other than the ROGUES on the US coast. Seems funny it's ok for them to do it but when we do it and they are actively hunting our guys (they are in a fight right now on the US caost hunting US players) than it's wrong for us to remove folks that switched like a bunch of cowards to an already Dom/Power full US player base team. Honestly I would of loved to have seen them go GB or some other nation to give them a more stronger US time zone player base, but going french? Yah ya'll just jumping from one team to the other to try to look good. I bet in about 2-3 months you will all be jumping to another nation too blaming the french for every thing as you done in the past.

I have actually done this in other games where you could get bonus by being lower rank. Just keep deleting my char and starting over. It was a great way to farm idiots that had no skill that tried to kill noobs all the time. You can do it in this game too. I have had alts leveling up take out RA's in fights. Also remember the shallows are the equalizers as any low rank can get into the exact same ship as a RA and fight on pretty much equal terms if they are at least rank 5 (that is when you max out perk points). Keeping the rewards off BR difference means for a better system. It also means a group will get less reward than a solo 1 vs 1 so.

Your kinda talking about something call a lag switch which blows my mind how many folks don't understand how they work and blame things in game on them. They can only be used at lan parties or where you host the game on your own computer. Using @rediii example below the only way you can do such is like this. Server - Client - Clinet The guy that is running the server and you can go through could do a lag switch between him and the other client to cause a lag in game. It was very quick to find out if a host was doing something shady like this cause they would rack up top scores fast over all the other players. Though with this game cause the server does every thing between the clients there is no way to do so. As a US player with 130-140 ping I notice that the tag and joins are off just a bit some times. For me it's like maybe 1/4 sec delay from where it should be some times. I know our SEA/AUS guys say it's more like a 1/2 second for them. So for me roughly about a ship length difference at times of what I should be. This is why when we tag some one we try to be pretty much right on top of them (well not in the small circle) when we tag cause it can put you further back than you want to be if you don't.

Don't you mean start in like 1722? I mean the game does take place in that time not ours? I can see giving out a participation reward where every one gets one item for joining (a paint of course) POTBS every one that did the races got a flag/sail pattern to use at start of the race so we all knew who was involved in it. Than you got to keep it to show you where involved in that event. Something like that. Than have the winners get something else special. If it's a ship something maybe like a speical paint for a ship that no one else has but it's a common ship or every one that wins gets a special GUNBOAT (there is an api entry for a fireshipgunboat paint). Stuff like this that isn't to OP.

"The tactical result of an engagement forms the base for new strategic decisions because victory or defeat in a battle changes the situation to such a degree that no human acumen is able to see beyond the first battle. In this sense one should understand Napoleon's saying: "I have never had a plan of operations." Therefore no plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force." Helmuth von Moltke - Chief of Staff of Prussian General Staff He's pretty much the one that started the saying that many use where, "No battle plan last past the first shot fired." That is why I never make big battle plans just basic set up according to where the other team might enter. US Nation has a Deaf player in it and well there are just some players that refuse to use team speak. In those few cases we just type added orders into the game, other wise pretty much every one is in TS. We have a Coastal Gaurd area for a reason in our TS. I"m sure it's like this with just about every nation, but a few simple commands in game would be nice. Nothing fancy just so folks can respond without filling up TS with voice commands. I'm low tone deaf in one ear and about 50% hear lost. I do battle coms at times (did take a big break mainly cause burned out) but if there is a lot of clutter in TS a I can't hear what folks might say. It would be nice if some one just has to say, "Affirmative" in game and I can see that isntead of having half a dozen folks say it in TS. Are if folks see "Target z4ys" instead of me saying it or a battle group leader saying it. Though even than most folks newish to big battles are so lost and don't use the mini map. There been times I asked some one, "Hay can you focus on that guy to your right he's almost dead and alone." They will be, "WHAT GUY?" When it's the only red dot (or blue for color blind mode) on the Mini map right next to them. Plan as day it's an enemy ship on the mini map they are coming up to. Most us experience players use the M map a lot in battle to see how things go, but a lot of players can't even use the mini map cause they get so tunnel vision in fights.

There have been some great old battles posted in the past with very organized and displined fleets. I think for my own clan the lines went out when the old flag system left cause we used it to circle as the circle of doom cloased in. Other wise smashing into to none PvPers with a "Pirate Ball." Tends to work better cause it all goes to chaos when you smash into each other in big fleets lo. Sadly the only time we see these any more is shall battles cause to many ports have way to low of a BR. Half the ports on the US coast is around 2500-5K mark. Would be nice to actually use a nations/clans numbers in PB more than just one port or two. They really need to look at some of the BR's I think that is another reason a lot of folks won't attack ports. They are limited to ELITE small 6-10 man groups where a mistake can quickly throw a fight and not be able to bring in numbers where you can make up for a few weak players. As for the topic though wouldn't be bad to have a few quick response commands in game, but that means coding and we won't see anything like that added until after release prob.

It's 30% it got bumped up when HP and Armor did.

Yah that is all old news, oh they updated the dirty copy again just now. Things getting moving. So was it a normal down time message for the game today? Maybe we see it the first of the week than.

When was that posted?

Yah that is when they normally do it, but they have tricked us a few times doing it on other days. Steam got another dirty copy update 2 hours ago. So they getting something ready this week, prob my best bet is going to be next week too.

So we keep hearing hopefully by the end of May. Any one want to take bets if we get it by this weekend or next? This would be a good weekend to do it as it's a big holidays for the Americans that many folks might take the time off to jump on, but most likely I"m expecting next week some time. Oh Steam got a dirty patch update the last two days, that is normally a sign we are getting closer.

But this isn't a PvP only server. We have two servers folks..... Caribbean which is a PvP/PvE server. PvE Only (which has zero PvP). Folks keep trying to think this is a PvP only server and it is not. I'll honestly admit what keeps me around is my breaks I take to play other games. If I haven't been taking them I would of gave up on this game a long time ago. I'll still pop in do my econ, check with my guys in clan and than go play the other games for the eve. I make the weekends my NA time cause it's when I got most time off. Been playing this game for over 2 years and it's not ever release so why should I spend all my time into this game?

Where is my epic boss I can kill and get these mods? The Epic events still suck cause you have to first split 9 chest between 6 players and than you only get one epic chest. I'm fine with the splititing of the 9 chest, but if you finish that misisons every one should be getting there own Epic Chest not 6 guys haveing to split the loot of one chest and even than it's not a for sure thing. I did several epics with the clan where I passed on things cause there was nothign I could use. We gotten only one rare ship (a rattler) so far and the rest been just mods we can normally get from grinding OW with one book of cargo distrobution. It really wasn't very epic for doing PvE. Again cause you have to share it instead of getting your own rewards and you ahve to trust every oen to share the chest and be honest about what they get in them when they open them. It's a crappy system. RNG blows for some of us too. I constantly get basic mods when I see other folks get rare mods all the time. It's got to a point I stopped hitting OW ships any more or looting ships cause it's not worth it any more. Hell I get better loot from the rare bottle I get once in a while....again PvE content and not PvP. very little stuff is in the shop for PvP and you don't get any drops or loot for RvR Port battles (they should bring back the chest again) we only get PvP marks that it for PvP content so why shouldn't we have more things we can buy for our hard work?

Yah double tap should bring you back to 100% or all the way down to 0%. Other wise each time you tap it would be nice to move percentage of your sails like your main. That way along with your hards and other things you can slowly adjust your speed to match other folks. Another thing that would love is an auto speed set for OW, not an auto pilote to follow some one, but sets auto speed to match the lead player in a group. That way the group leader can set his speed and the rest of the group can push the button and match his speed. Of course the limit's would always be you can only go so fast as your ship allowed so the slowest guy will still be the slowest but if say the lead sets to battle sails it's than every one else can match his speed and follow as it's not faster than the slowest guy in the group.

I actually like three classes cause well some folks are better in one style ship than others. Also lets make it equal for the main ones where every one is in a Teak/Teak ship of that class with the same gun set ups and what not and we get a post of exactly what it is. Maybe do an open cup later where we can bring what ever ship you want in it's BR class later.
