double post.

"If you were heading out on a journey by sea, asks Socrates, who would you ideally want deciding who was in charge of the vessel? Just anyone or people educated in the rules and demands of seafaring? The latter of course, says Adeimantus, so why then, responds Socrates, do we keep thinking that any old person should be fit to judge who should be a ruler of a country?" The problem with democracy is that the majority are uninformed. Medieval people believing the earth was the center of the universe was lack of knowledge. Medieval people dropping dead bodies into wells is a lack of understanding of science and hygiene. Everyone knows how the chat works. Everyone knows the pros and cons since we use it. I mean no offence but your statement is simply wrong since we do understand what we are voting. When it comes to combat mechanics I would agree with you however. You are a better sailor than most so your opinion is more valid since you understand sailing.

What you did and what you say contradict each other.

you think the devs are going to read this and not take action on the player? Even if it wasnt your intention to report him the devs would be hypocrites not to take action. Don't pretend it wasn't your intention. If insults didnt bother you, you would have not posted this. We all know the downsides of this patch and I myself did point out that PMs are I have taken the most "abuse" You do report players because you basically just have.

You know what I hate the most. The way peoples responses in the moment are always screenshoted and sent to the forums. What this guy said in chat has nothing to do with his character. He was pissed off. I get it. Imagine if you had a microphone attached to yourself and everytime you lost your temper it was uploaded to social media so the world could see what you were "really like" This report tells me 2 things. Koltes gets offended at the smallest things and the NotPellow is not always as cool as he seems. Grow up and stop reporting players all the time. What I get from this chat is that you were wasting his time so you could get more players to assist you. You provoked someone and then upload his response. IMO you are far worse than he is. It doesnt matter who tagged who. I have provoked players more than anyone here I admit that but I would never ever upload their responses to me. At the end of the day their insults were justified. PS: You PM is rubbish.... The title says PMS but the evidence only suggest A PM. Thats not even a number.

No can do, if people look at the reddit posts I follow I will be banned.

The worst insults have been delivered to me by pms and not open chats. Battle chat to enemies is disabled by default as far as I remember and its the players choice to activate it. Apparently players choose it. Global chat is also a choice. The reason people did not disable it is because it has far more pros than cons. Why do you need to remove something that the player can remove with a mouse click? I don't get it? The only reason I can think of is the work it takes to read reports but as you said, its not your idea.

You used stability perfectly fine. It's a broad term. Stiffness is more technical and has to do with flexibility. A ship can be both stable and flex too. By design to be far.

Historically we would surrender 90% of the Time but we do not. Its physically impossible for a ship to be unsinkable. Its a matter of ammunition and time. If you have enough bullets you can sink a first rate with a 50 cal. Sooner or later there is no material left. Surrendering is admitting defeat. The only thing worse than admitting your defeated is death. That's why we do not surrender. One of the reasons I loved having officers. I did not let my officer die. His name was jesus lustig. I have to admit that the name played a major role. A first rate will shatter a basic cutter at 100m and if you as a captain cannot keep the cutter for hiding under your guns you are not in the position to sail it.

Finally. I'm so sick of one sided tactics. Other than that I like these ideas at first glance but I am still wondering how you will ever balance guns since the difference in armour between the highest and lowest tier ships is to big. I gave a good example in an older topic and still think its relevant. I'll have to look for it. Edit. I'm curious of what others think of this because I know many players dislike ranged battles. I love them. I love anything that forces players to think before yolo into battle like idiots.

Grinding is the product of repetitiveness and NOONE considers repetitiveness a positive thing in games. It's arguably the most hated thing in games. I don't know if there is a single game that is considered the best that has a Grind. They are considered the best because they are fun.

I think there would need to be way more stuff to do ingame to attract a larger player base. Leaving ships and interacting with players in ports etc.

Definitely has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that those ships are not crafted....... Admin and all the DLC defenders all seem to think that's OK. Funny thing is I predicted this a year ago but apparently I am wrong. Were players are wrong is when they say dlc are killing the game. This game will always have a small player base but it would be nice if it was fun. No matter what they do 300-600 players is what to expect in the long run. It has been like this since the beginning.

Well games either give you positive or negative emotions so that is kind of the point. This game is terrible in some ways and great in others. Overall I would actually say its a 6/10 max. Just because it has a great combat system that is unbalanced does not mean its a great game since imo it fails in alot of other ways.
