I guess I'm just finding frustrating. The majority of issues seem to happen in combat. I set up a fire ship fitting on a Buc and decided to go help the Swedes the morning after they fought hard for 2 ports around their capital. I waited for the Danes to leave the port battle and tag them. it was only 2 ships, 2 connies I think. I intended to sink them and if it went wrong use the fireship fitting to get at least one and damage the other. We entered combat as soon as they left the port battle and I got one broadside off into an enemy connie, then it all went bad. I had absolutely no control as I sailed without the ability to fire, change direction, move my masts, or change my sails. I was also on fire from the second counter broadside they had fired. My ship was on fire and I couldn't used the survival toggle button either, I couldn't change ammo either, I was locked out of the whole game. The Danes continued to fire into me with no apparent issues either with movement or gunfire. My Buc just sailed along until it sank. No crash, stutter, low FPS or anything that would suggest an ping issue for me, just a complete lock out until I entered the battle screen. After this the game played as smooth as silk for the rest of the day. To me this is suspect. My 2 cents

I wondering if you speak english? These players are reporting an issue that is a major game breaker and to have a patronizing attitude is just disgusting. Remember that these people have payed good money to enjoy this game and are trying to get some feed back to the devs. These people are trying their best to bring forth an issue that would cause people to avoid this game. We FEEL it is and exploit due to the fact that it does not affect Danes(Chinese) in particular. In stead of being condescending and trying to blow off a major issue, Why don't you offer some other alternative answer that would quell the exploit question? Actually, I've seen Devs sailing around in the south east, and invite them to battle the Danes to see for themselves what the issues are. Maybe its a server issue with that particular area of the world but please don't dismiss it as "Rumor mongering"

I call bull shit... Every time I fight with the Danes I either crash at a critical moment or I loose all control of my ship. I have been playing from day one with this game and have NEVER had this happen before. THIS IS AN EXPLOIT! I have screen shots to prove it. My ping is usually 73ms. and I have fought many players on ALL servers I have NEVER had this happen until I fight the Danes ...WHY? These are the issues I've encountered with the Dane alone and never before: 1)Loss of all ship control.... everything, while my ships is still moving and my ping is still 73ms, Danes firing back with NO issues in movement, speed, sails or anything. 2)In port battles, as I try to send marines over to a capped tower I get an naval action.exe error and crash only to log back on and find I am either being boarded or sinking by the Danes. 3)Complete slow down of ship speed when trying to engage DANES ONLY. 4)Complete broadside from a St.pavel into a Danish Bellona so near I could touch them and NO Damage was recorded. Please understand that I have played PvP lots and I know what I am doing. I am not a whiner because I get sunk... I will be the first to congratulate a better player because of their SKILL, and those in the community know this. I enjoy fighting players that present a challenge and consider it an honor to get sunk by them...... NO ISSUE THERE. I just hate cheaters or those with no skill using exploits. Lag switch is REAL and they are using it. Why do THEY have full control and no issues? Why is it that anyone else that is fighting them do? I could chalk it up to bad ping or something else if it also happened to THEM, but it does not. If they have such an issue, send them to a different server. I will be fighting them a lot from now on and will be sending F11 reports every time this happens. I will also have others that have had similar issues post on this thread because this is a Serious Issue and needs to be looked at. This is a major game breaker, Players experiencing this will just QUIT and we don't need that.

Cheers

I've noticed that some players have been waiting in the O.W. battle area for players to leave combat so they can overwhelm them with clan or nation support. Also another tactic is to wait in numbers inside the battle screen just outside of a port until an unsuspecting ship is almost on top of this area. The look out will then let the other players in their nation know when to pop out and attack, almost like a cloaking device. I'm just wondering if the respawn back to the open world could be random by a grid square or 2 to try and give the players a chance to run or fight after being ready.. In the open world you can avoid or push the attack, during the respawns you don't have this luxury. Maybe a good counter for this would be random position respawning.. Any thoughts?

On the Road map they are talking about Naval action2. Naval action 1 is an awesome game so far and its still alpha. Some things I'd like to see for the second one are: * The ability to move around your ship with some form of interior, Would make the long sailing sessions a bit better * Watch the crew on deck reloading and running out the cannons, some crew in the rigging. * Uniforms for the crew that look like uniforms, and officers on the deck etc, Not lawyers in bare feet pushing out non existent cannons * Have the ability to bring in cannons and shut the cannon ports... Just some graphical things mostly Any ideas?

Yeah ..... I lost a VIC to Zep just coming out of Tumbado on Saturday, I was going to sling it to Fort Royal. Had no upgrades and only half crew, I didn't even use it in combat yet, it was brand new. I left port and Zep popped out of nowhere, the 3 of those buggers poached my VIC and I just said enjoy.... I won't do that again. I didn't think there would be anyone around !!!!! Sorry I missed you. I'll try and track u down tonight...

If the Game prices their ships like Rise of Flight then I'll be handing over cash.... The aircraft are around $5 to $10 a piece... great deal and it will keep cash rolling into the game. I just ask that the DEV's make paints available give each nation a unique look.... Then I buy paints also... JUST DON"T COLOR OR CUSTOMIZE SAILS... IT WILL BE CHEEZY AND CHEAP

I'll message you tonight and bring you in to our ts.

To tell you the truth, I'm finding the Pirates have more going for them than many of the US players. Loco shows up and fights like hell even when out numbered 3:1. After the battle he just casually comments how good the fight was... You always put on a great fight! Cheers Loco

You are always welcome in the French navy. But the Dutch and the French will be sailing together anyway...

The only issue with that Cheatos is that they will be like you. Hunt in packs and make sure they have an overwhelming superiority before they attack. Everyone will want to join the "winning side" and brag about their Combat skills. Yes, the big kid can always bully the skinny little kid, but never wants to fight someone that has the ability to fight back... Just saying..

Yes, you are totally correct! Please be advised that I have Joined the French Nation now. I have fought along side these fine Gentlemen and after much thought I will be helping them as a member of the French Navy.

I was very disappointed to see that the majority of the US Clans had No interest in preserving other nations. PvP2 is a US server and the US nation will just continue to grow. I'm guessing that the Pirates will soon get tired of constantly trying to take US ports and the map will just turn to green ports. I myself have gone to PvP1 and will check back later to see if anything has changed. PvP1 has a better balance and I've enjoyed playing with people from Europe.... Their attitude is refreshing to say the least. I had the Idea of Joining the BLACK Pirate clan for balance but I think I'll just play on PvP1 for now. I'm hoping someone will continue to carry the torch and be a Champion for the smaller nations. I'm really hoping that PvP2 will not die as many others continue to go over to PvP1. Some of us have tried to make a difference, but in the end the will of the majority wins out.

Hello, The Leaders of the Largest Clans will be meeting tomorrow (Saturday 22nd) to discuss the importance of Small nations and the importance of keeping them health for new players to join. The discussion will be hosted by Linguine mike on his TS server. Many Nations will be attending and hopefully a representative of your clans can come and be apart of it. This will happen around 7PST on Saturday.. Please mail me back if interested and I can coordinate to bring you to the discussion TS address will be: silverbolt16.bluefangsolutions.com Cheers, Harley
