why are they destroyers of the game? because they dont play like you want? They dont give you the easy kill but they get the easy kill? Lets be honest we all seek the easy kill and get mad when we dont achive it or when we find the bigger fish. We all try to hide it behind words like "meaningful pvp" when we actually mean I want to win.

Thats no point. PVE server would be high populated. People cant expect risk free on a pvp server. They negate themselve.

There is a risk free server. If people want risk free gameplay why they dont play there and instead go to pvp server and complain about pvp?

1km in OW means ontop of your ship. Dont get fooled by ow distance. Tag circle is 20km. Did anyone else not wonder why a SOL is as long as a town? ;-)

You don't have. You can capture any ship up to 5th and player ships without exception. Devs gave us an easy way and a somewhat hard way. If you don't want to you can play the game without much effort. It's our fault if we don't do it.

I don't agree. As I said you don't have to invest much time to actually get into a fight. Fights are easy to get. But I tend to agree fights on my terms are much harder to get. So my fun gets spoiled by other people that don't want to get slapped but not by the game. Blame other people for not sailing towards you and die under your guns but not the game. Tools are their but we don't use them because result are not in our favor. Don't complain about time when there are so many easy ways. Games like pubg are catching because you fail and you try over and over again. That are games that make you rage so you wanna do better next time.

Tell me were is the difference between patrol and pubg. In my opinion there is none. It's last man standing with shrinking circle. Even the sail can be done in 5mins from a close Freetown. Difference is only OW hunting but people don't have to. There is an easy option if they would actually look for pvp (fighting) but most people look for easy winning so they rather sail hours then just a few mins. Not game fault. Players fault.

Just like we got a warning about leeshore but people beached themselves because they were so careful and it was totally unexpected that this will happen.

Guess we would have less of a discussion about that topic if people would understand that our view distance in-game is so huge compared to rl. I bet the 20km tag circle look for most people like a 500m circle.

What's meaningful? Meaningful for you doesn't have to be the same for me. If people would actually try to tell what they want it would help a lot. But hiding real intentions behind cryptic words will not help. Most people that use cryptic phases just want to hide their real intention: I want pvp that hurts the loser I want pvp that let's me dominate. I want to be the biggest asshole in the west Indies. I want other to feel bad because I am the conqueror. Is that what hides behind words like "meaningful" or serious pvp?

The issues I always see and read are: - I want everything in 5mins of gameplay Then those people start to complain: - The game is boring nothing to do. Sure when you get everything in no time ... and yes you can get everything in no time. Tell me what's hard to get that would deny access to pvp? Mods? I am told many many times mods are not important... gold? The game throws gold at you with both hands... ships ? You can capture AI ships up to 5th rates should be enough to get pvp... But what drives me mad are the people that try to tell me pvp is hard to find. Grab a ship sail to patrol area and you get your fight. Especially when all people do so that want quick fights. But instead they complain about the zones because fights are not at their terms. So when people write I can't find pvp they actual mean I don't find fights I can win easily.... Guys just start to ask devs to make it a single-player game so you can have your I win button. In a MP game not everyone can have it...

Will it have EA like UG: CW or will it be closed testing?

they arent helpfull in the first place. A help phrase shouldnt explain stuff by using a nautical term to discirbe something. "Tacking is called a maneuver when the front called bow of a ship goes through the wind direction." -helpfull "tacking a ship" - not helpfull both mean the same. You get what i mean?

sure but like I said even in your own language nautical terms act as foreign language. And they are not necessary. For example rediiis 1. I would rewrite as. "For turning the ship through the wind a maneuver called tacking, remember to turn your rudder the other way..."

Regarding 14. isnt it discribing a relative position? I would add 2 ships and call the positions relative to the wind and the other ship upwind or downwind.

In my opinion such phrases arent helpfull. They sound nice but majority will not understand. Personally I dont like help phrases that include nautical terms. Most of the time they arent helpfull especially they are strange even in your own language now consider that it might be in a foreign language. Tooltips should explain stuff with a bare minimiun of nautical terms.

without any knowledge people will not understand what is displayed here. Loadingscreen tooltips should give basic ideas like you would teach a child. Ingame tutorial should go further and teach the child to be a grown up. But for fun it would be nice to add this as loading indicator when going to ow from port or entering battle loading screen.

"No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy" "The business of any Commander being first to bring an Enemy's Fleet to Battle, on the most advantageous terms to himself and secondly, to continue without separating, until the business is decided." "The measure may be thought bold, but I am of the opinion the boldest are the safest" Some Horatio Nelson quotes that fit very well a bit cryptic maybe but ...

acutally its not that long maybe 6 good passes. At least with 18pd carros close distance.

You can but only mizzen by shooting a lot of balls into the stern so they hit the mizzen root. Even 4pds can chop a vic mizzen that way.

we just have to keep in mind that the game is speed up compared to rl (talking about cannon reloadtime). So sticking to real data without scaling might be wrong. I hope devs consider that and dont use rl data and apply it 1to1 to the game.

Why is nobody talking about that small ships won't gank big ones anymore? ^^

i am curious what @fox2run has to add ^^ For now i am happy that tactical decisions start to matter again.

How i prepare for the chain limitation

Bring more friends = more chain lol "Iam out of chain and grape next one can take over" Will be called chain chaining
