Why not remove pvp marks on pve server completely and instead label Everything with the correspondant amount of pve marks? Thats like getting the salary in USD but then you have to go to the bank to exchange them to EUR so you can actually use your money in your country (EU country representing pve server in this example)

If you had an acc on both servers before wipe then youll have redeemable xp on both servers

Usual downtime for an update is 1 to 2 hours but since this is a megapatch it might take a bit longer Just a guess, im not a programmer

Looks like ill have to take this afternoon off Damn wanted to make a new name for my char before wipe ... Not gonna happen anymore

I was more thinking of the case where a national player was carrying the BP in his cargo.. so yea, alts will help ^^ Or just have a few good friends.

Just a guess: As global chat isn't going, im expecting the possibility to trade with each other across nations will stay Or if that's not possible, you could technically cpature a national trader vessel carrying the BP / Permit

Is that patch to testbed or wipe-patch to live servers?

I guess the name says it all, floating battery. Any big lineship running that refit will need a frig or two as escort, otherwise it wont have crew to operate the floating battery for very long might become interesting in pbs

Are you sure they crafted them? Some ships were left over from before the BP-change patch / hotfix

That's the theory but we don't know if pirates are *allowed* to use that BP by the game mechanics, nor if pirates are able to build a lv3 shipyard, thats why I asked the admin.

You can still do the first 50% through war supplies, should be a nice boost

At this point I dont really mind to wait a few more days or even weeks for a proper good wipe. (maybe partially because I've finally started my new job so I'm not sitting at home doing nothing 24/7 anymore. There is also a life outside of games, I noticed I was about to forget that.)

The question wheter or not Pirates will be able to sail and / or craft Lineships after the wipe (with their limited pirate shop aka admiralty shop) has never been answered anywhere officially, so I'm going to ask that here: @admin Are Pirates, after the wipe, going to be able to capture and sail lineships? Are Pirates, after the wipe, going to be able to craft lineships by using a Blueprint and Permit which were traded with a national player / captured off a national player? thanks.

24th is just an estimate, no Deadline. Only deadline they set themselves is end of this month. "Wipe patch is coming this month. The following content will be deployed to live servers. The deployed content is going to be more stable as it was properly checked on the testbed servers by a QA team and our amazing community volunteers who spent a lot of time on the testbed and provided a lot of feedback on bugs and improvements. Estimated time of deployment of the patch is between 15th May and 24th May"

Maybe you don't *need* 25 L'Océans, but have some variety in your fleet, should make things interesting But might also take away the competetive aspect in port battles as the side with more 1sts will prob win most of the times, which should be easier to achieve for bigger nations I still think smaller nations should get some sort of bonus. Anyway I dont think we'll see many Lineships being sunk now, gotta capture those juicy prizes if possible

Will be checking out both servers and settle down on the one which has more activity during my playtime.

Yup I agree, we need more nation based events / nation joint-effort Encourages the people to work together to achieve a goal and therefore improoves communication Although that might also backfire in a sense of oppinion conflicts, and the salt / toxicity being produced would not help

btw if anyone on pvp1 wants to test the cecilia before wipe; message me, got one to give away teak, crew space, speed (3 dura), located in la navasse

Nop but I think swiggles uploaded it somewhere Sry im on my phone at work; and dont think patchnotes are the place to discuss that lol

KIN was the reincarnation of pvp2's SOB Didnt last that long tho

Are you saying they already updated the game for live servers but havent made the download update available yet?

Having all timezones on one server was one of the main reasons why the player numbers dropped. People started taking each others ports without the enemy being able to defend them. How is that any fun? I do agree the game is way more enjoyable with a healthy amount of players online, but since another solution to the whole day/night/whatever flipping could not be found, it's just the most logical thing to do. Let's give it a try at the very least. It just sucked to loose all your ports / buildings over night without being able to do anything against it (If you actually wanted to get some sleep).
