Whatever happened to this?

[Blood Eagle]

Alot of what was said during their green light phase sounds alot better then what we currently have.

 

 

 

We separate Nationality and Allegiance in our game. Nation is not chosen, but determined by a player. Player can choose to be born a German, when creating a character, and decide to join the Spanish Navy for military service.

Player actions will influence the opportunities and access to the National service. A pirate who actively participated in sinking of Spanish treasure fleets will be welcome in a British Privateer Branch of the Royal Navy, but is Kill on Sight to French fleets and players, if France has a Union with Spain.
Certain skills will allow the player to sail under a false flag, but this will be a serious criminal offence in certain ports. Capture such player and he will be judged by a player court and receive a jail time.

Players can use banners, pennants, and ensigns to show off their battle or economy achievements. Banners will be granted by National Admiralty, State Trade Company, or the government and royal court. Some of the pennants will grant extra bonuses in battle or in open map travel, increasing morale crew morale or other characteristics.

Players can also create their own flags and banners for their squadrons and trade companies, which will be allowed in the game if they are accepted by the developer and voted for by a player committee. To keep the spirit of the Age of Sail, usage of ponies, penises and other unwanted elements will be restricted.

In the long term, player guilds holding significant number of ports could pledge allegiance to a new nation, for example making part of the Antilles Scottish. But that will be extremely hard and will most likely mean war against everyone.

Thanks for your attention

How many times are you gonna make the se post over and over? A desperate cry for attention.

[Prater]

Perhaps they haven't got to it yet?

[Captain Boneboys]

Could you repeat the question in other terms please, I do not read you.

Thanks for your cooperation

I thought you said you were leaving....?

[Jack Marslow]

Didn't you quit and uninstall?

[Legioneod]

Alot of that stuff would be cool to have in game, but you have to remember it is ea so you shouldn't expect all these features in just yet, 

[Ruthless4u]

Fair Question, as most of these have not been brought up in the next phase development polls.

From the Developer Priorities 2 thread: Overhaul of War & Peace mechanics and national relations, pirate role and national alliances

 

That is the cornerstone needed for most of what's in diggler's OP to be built on.

Pretty vague in details, but that's due to the space restraint for text in questions for polls.

Dirtydiggler,

 

you should be a man and follow through on your big announcement to leave the game and write your angry steam reviews with your two (gasp!) accounts. No need to bother the community anymore, thank you.

 

Sincerely Yours,

I have left the game, I am not playing it anymore, that doesn't imply I am leaving the forums. I will return to the game when its or if its worth playing later down the road. This is not a repeat topic, its a valid topic as many of the things they said they were doing before they released are still not in the game.

 

Just because you are a fanboi and want to get butthurt because of my last post, doesn't mean I should not post.

Guys let stop this pointless anger towards each others. Opinions will be said on the forums and you may not like them but they are just opinions and they can be easily over looked.

The devs should abondon NA and make a new game called " come bitch on the forums" . As many people who have quit or never played this game but troll the forums will make them rich. Hell just justme will pay fkr their kids collage.

Damn, I see your point. They should have nailed all of this in ALPHA!

Wait......

Revolutions we continue to mention as possible

Other features wont make it and the reason is: a lot of players cannot control themselves and abuse systems. 

Example. NA preorders were bought by serious people interested in helping making a serious game

• From the start of sea trials some of those serious players abused the system ruining the game for everyone.
• Even good people started ganging up on unsuspected players who did not know you could switch sides in a balancer
• Players were running from battles just to troll or because they were worried about their ship (it was free then!) 
• This all forced us to stop servers for 1 week adding a battle circle and fixing the balancing. Only then it started working. 

Great features will be abused by one player and then others will run to tribunal demanding attention. 

False flag is a great example.

• Great feature.
• Awesome gameplay opportunities
• Immersion and heartbeat when you are checked by a convoy or another player in form of a papers please mini game.
• I can just imagine farming a special set of flags, leveling a spanish language skill, and buying spanish clothes to my crew somewhere, because i want to sail in spanish waters full of convoys pretending to be a spanish officer.

BUT not in a multiplayer game. 

• Awesome trolling of friendlies.
• 1000 of tribunals, bug reports, letters, forum posts.
• 10000 hours wasted.

NO. NO false flag will be done and the reason is those type of players. 

 

Btw for all those interested

Indiedb was found to be a useless resource both for Ultimate general and Naval Action. We got more traffic from random obscure sites like christianmonitor than from indiedb/moddb. This is a site for developers to like other developers. It has nothing to do with real players who actually buy games.

You can kind of do false flag now if you have multi-accounts. Since you can re-roll and retain your rank at will, if you have two accounts in the same nation setup in the same freeport you can leave your alt in said freeport, use your main nation account to go around find a target of the same faction, gank them, go pirate, go back to said freeport, give all your stuff over to your alt, re-roll and remake new guy on the nation you just left, rinse and repeat.

 

False flag over and over abusing the go pirate system, re-roll system, with alt
