Hethwill, the Red Duke

Now you know whom to hail on the open world with a cheer from your crew. Double dose of rum for us then !

Take into account Ranks will have their values reviewed so in practice Ranks will be lost although we will retain the number and the corresponding rank at the time of change. The concerns are valid of course but if you think about it there is little point in slabbing our foreheads into thinking this resembles the vision of the Developers. This is only the Open World Civilian and Military foundations. The true facet mechanics are yet to come. So learn what you can regarding handling your most beloved ships, that part is done pretty much, and that knowledge is irreversible. The rest can be wiped as much as they wish or the development needs as long as final release version is a beauty.

Sometimes, just sometimes, is just the port ahead

Glad the "ship" is hanging tough. Happy for you. Would hate a simple "mechanical" issue to stand between a fellow gamer and a fantastic game.

Do we even know what mechanics will be tied to them in upcoming roadmap ? Can think of a ton of suggestion for them but would be more interesting to have a basic idea on how the devs plan to implement the regions and capitals. My guess is they will work like capitals teleport at first, tied to region capital instead of the faction capital given the absurd spread of some factions - read Spanish empire starting map...

Check edit btw. Anyway for a fresh start I would run a memory check just in case. Control Panel > Memory. Second attempt, uninstall all the nvidia stuff. Let the system come up and reinstall the latest stable.

Made any hardware changes before the errors ? Can even be peripherics. Can be a faulty driver though I wouldn't bet on it or more players would have similar issues. Edit: does your motherboard have built-in graphics by any chance ? If it does please make sure some update did not enable it ( check bios and then system devices ) and you have two drivers running the same service ( graphics ).

"Make sail everyday and engage them knowing that if everything else fails you can always run away. Make every fight count like if it was your last. Take care of your ship and she will become immortal." - a one peg-leg old captain in Coquibacoa So far so good. We sail again tonight. She is a good lass. I guess she didn't like her last crew that much but she surely loves us. - out of RP I think it all bears down to each individual and how hard each one tries to enjoy the game. Guess the suggestion is very much in line with a separate Sea Trials arenas rather than the OW, which would make sense then.

DXdiag will show the most recent capable version. DX12 is retro compatible with 11 so no issue there for sure. If you wish to work in advance and check the error code you have the entire table here [link] and what it relates to. Any doubts, ask away.

Running Win10 with absolutely no issues. Your hardware is capable of both. What is the BSOD bug check error code ? Will surely help to start to troubleshoot.

What about us honest privateers ? We are under the patronage of a Nation and we cannot lose our daily bread toil...

Unscrupulous traders are hoarding it and selling at laughable prices, 3199 was the last price I saw yesterday at the dutch territories. Couldn't stop laughing. The system is working fine. You simply have a lot of wannabe Ronald Trunks getting rich by the need of others I say boycott them for 9 days and let it dry. Lower your production to a minimum and ask corsair flotillas to supply you. We are always glad to help out honest crafters which keep the prices of the ships regulated.

If you think this iteration of crafting is close to final, for such use of a veement position towards the craft xp loss, then I suggest you rethink your position. This is simply a very basic prototype. Actually I would expect the final version of this to be nothing like it we have now but way more intricate and cross system with the Nation, Admiralty, Production, Manufacturing ( all systems still being developed btw ) and overall all the actions across the map, players and AI alike. Same goes for rank xp, which we won't get reset but with a total revamp and values change We will lose ranks. That is a fact.

A per unwritten rules of high seas privateering, more like guidelines of good conduct that actual laws, you ask IF they need help, sometimes the escorts are more than we can chew. IF they are okay it is time to leave. IF they say nothing engage the escorts. After all when your fellow corsair initiated the Attack it was the intention to cath and prize the trader vessel. Help him out if needed. A good action yields more satisfaction than a condemnable move of a nation's corsair stealing another corsair prizes. It looks like you are squabbling like hogs in the scraps pit out of despair... ( hear the seagulls scream...mine mine mine !... ) Uphold the gentlemanly conduct. Always.

Given the Delivery system is in place it should cover your suggestion if the devs give it a tweak. And yes, the service has a fair price for what you need it for.

Thanks for the clarification Bungee.

Hopefully only after all the testing is done, all the roadmap is traveled, all the mechanics are in place and fluid. Basically on a unknown timeframe after release version.

To my experience there is a radius. Not that extended but there is. Been able to tag an AI trader at musket range while dealing with its fleet lapdogs with the counter on the white. More than 400 yards I have seen a few escape.

Nation is above clan. Nation tag is enough.

Redeemables are usually a "on release" thing. Meaning they come and go at devs whim during testing phases and get definite upon final edition release.

A well versed corsair intercepted by 3 or 4 others will surely cripple one of them before disengaging. Sailing skill matters twice as much as consistent shooting without needing ranging shots which matters twice as much as the ships being used. That is why I said a custom built ship is the best way to go. You will order it based on your experience with all the ships and that one class specifically, not just rank. I am affraid many captains overlook the obvious for the sake of numbers and names in a screen and then cry that the wiki is wrong and that this or that should be slower or how the hell it turned so fast... They hardly know their ships... It wouldn't matter if it is 5 or 3 or even 1 life.

Stay true to history. Fly a brig.

Indeed sir, I was thinking simply on the amount of lives mechanics while capturing ships is rather easy silly if a captain is a half decent half witted Corsair. Sorry for the short coming. Shouldn't we hold fast and wait for the Production and Manufactoring updates coming, that, quoting devs, will change the crafiting and trade gameplay completely ? Regarding the quality of ships I don't even have a look at any of the city lists anymore no matter player or NPC built. Custom orders are by far the best option. They come exactly as specified as long as you find a good crafter. The 5 durability thinng is okay in all built ships.

XP is rewarded for damage. End. There is no grey area. Sinking is simply a result of damage done.

Hear hear. As I ususally say, I love this game to the core for some childish reason. It will become way more polished than it is now, so yes, wipe the dust as much as needed to make it superb.
