So now that Doubloons are so easy to get my friends are either quitting the game or have stopped playing due to a lack of Reals! Fighting either PVP or PVE is not worth the REALS due to Reps and Crew/Repair Costs. Ganking ships and selling them takes days to get them sold and the markets are flooded for the most common type ganked ships. But the biggest problem that my friends have encountered is that TRADE had been nerfed beyond belief! Travel to far away enemy ports is useless now due to no profitable trade goods in stock! What happened to all the Port Trade goods that used to restock?

Yup.... Patch 27 killed this game!!!

Agreed!!!!!

Due to all the recent game changes and subsequent serious lack of players online now PVP has been horrible, especially in the daily patrol event zones... My clan and I spent and hour and a half sailing through the daily Patrol Event circle the other night and did not see a single enemy ship to attack neither player or AI...!!! This is ridiculous and idiotic! There were less than 150 people online at 9PM EST. The daily patrol event zones need to spawn more AI ships to attack especially when there are so few human players online! It's bad enough that AI ships don't sail out into OW and just spawn and disappear in disappear close to Ports. And when a daily event Patrol zone is out in Open Water there are hardly any AI ships ever that go through those areas!

Yeah, just wait till removing the trader tool comes next... even less people will be playing, especially the traders!!!!

So they expect us to blindly sail around with trade goods until we can find a port to sell them for decent profit? Not to mention sailing to a port only to find no trade goods available there! This is ridiculous and will stop everyone from trading!

IS IT TRUE THE DEVS ARE REMOVING THE TRADER TOOL NEXT...? This would be asinine!

Icons suck! They all use the same picture! Why does salt look like other items? Hate the damn refresh everytime you have to split or move something. More noticable on the new UI and painful on the eyes! Please make the ports actually look like ports with real docks, especially Nation Capital Ports! Capital ports currently look like remote outposts with a dock barely big enough for a dingy! Now that we are stuck looking at the ports in the new UI, the docks and buildings with 40ft tall doors need fixing ASAP!

The Devs have stated that the AI are basically there for target practice for newer players who are not skilled enough for PVP and need to level up! Increasing the difficulty of the AI just for the sake of all the experienced players would frustrate all those that only have basic cutters and need to practice and level up. If you can easily gank AI ships you should be doing PVP PERIOD! This game still needs to attract and keep newer players long before the vets get any new challanges. Sailed in the Daily Patrol PVP zone for an hour and a half last night and did not see a single enemy ship! Only 149 people on last night at 9 PM EST in the USA and the numbers keep dropping... That and the fact that this game is on sale for $15 this games severs will get shut down long before the AI combat behavior gets an overhaul!

You must be fighting completely different AI than I....! They angle like bastards now and never let you go hull to hull making it a game of never ending circles where they point their bows right into your sides... Please no repair cycles for AI as it would just cost players more in repairs in response. As it is now PvE and Kill mission rewards are so low if you wind up using repairs you lose money by fighting them! If you want the AI fights more challenging make it so the player and AI can't use repairs in combat!

Buy dropping the price to $15 starting today on Steam! Although, it feels more like an act of desperation when the main game costs less than the DLC's! Have a feeling the latest changes are'nt getting the new players to buy this anymore!

Lmao! Me and my clan mates have never been this lucky in dozens of hours of killing AI traders post patch! Of all the recent 1st rates we have killed in much smaller ships there's been nothing but crap upgrades on them and no Dabloons at all!!!!! In fact the last 1st rate we killed took almost and hour and we got a crappy "Basic Ballast Relay" upgrade on it and that was it!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you only effect hostility now during the timer of the Port Battle window? Has it been recently changed so that Hostility is only effected during port times and not at any time? If so a clan with members at different time zones around the world will have a more difficult time being all online at the same time just to effect hostility...

Both my brothers and two of their friends are part of those players who have given up and quit since the changes were made.

Agreed very annoying and painful on the eyes!!!
