PvP 2 USA problems

[Captain Pickle]

i have been noticing something rather strange going on i am a pirate now and i hang out near many ports but the problem is simple people are leaving and there not coming back i seen some of the most greatest pirates walk away because the dev's have been running the game into the ground ill line this bag of ugly snakes out for you all to see

first off we have

the ports around Mort all produce materials which rely cant help you in any way to so anything for example Port Au Prince is the only port for miles that produces silver and its under british control its too close to port royal they wont ever let it go

port battles takes way too long example kids island the US tried to take it for a week they didn't even get 50% on hostility they were hammering it so ya what good is that

to make an exceptional quality ship now you need fine wood example exceptional fir ship needs fine fir and fine oak i have seen the most best ship builders just grind to a hualt as they cant get the mats now to make a ship

things to shoot ok so i am out at Baracoa right and i sit there for 4 hours in real world time i am running back and forth along the coast guess how many traders of other nationality i saw 2 out of four real world hours i head closer to port royal guess what same thing theirs nothing to shoot no ships to loot

and this ones been bothering me i am out trying to do missions to lvl up and 2 British players come along and gank me the had 1 3rd rate a frigate and 2 privateers i had a 2nd rate exceptional teak bucatuar and all the cannons were at the max they could be i get flanked by the frigate hammer its side a bit he runs off and then i get to hit the 3rd rate right perfect broadside but one problem it barely did any damage didn't even move to one bar but when he follows up well he pulls more damage than me how is this real what does he have world war 2 deck cannons for armaments. so it goes on for an hour real world i am trying to kill them and the frigate returns using chain shot my ship cant turn on a dime so hes safe from harm as hese using the wind to protect him they try and push me into the wind didn't work eventual my sails are shredded i am sailing the 3rd rates right behind me and guess what happen'd the game logged me out mid battle ya i got booted i rush to get on and what do i find my ships in a dead stop this is not very realistic the ships don't stop like that in game so why when you get booted from it it stops like it dropped the anchors needless to say i lost my prize ship i remember a time when all ships had the same 5 durability i cant take that ship out now because i don't want to lose it and my upgrades which i cant get now exceptional powder monkeys is one of them you cant even get that from sealed bottles now you cant make those types of upgrades and you cant get them so why bother using them.

to top it off ever since this madness started with the new crafting changes no ones building ships those who are sell them for outrageous prices for instance a 4th rate frigate exceptional teak nothing on it going for 6 million i asked the guy why so high his answer was because it was murder to make the ship in the first place so he felt he should be getting that to compensate his troubles with the growing ganker's sailing around. not very fair on a nation that's been hit hard by this madness.

so ya i don't know what the dev's are doing but its ruining the game more and more people are leaving because of it hell the pirate nations most wild and uncontrolled clan the BLACK clan there high leaders are never on now there minor clans are doing the same slowly.

and the last thing i am having a pain with is the closest you can get to mort for a mission is far west of baracoa that's where i lost my ship to the ganker's and even better yet to far away to get to help maybe the next time i am going to get ganked i should just walk away from my computer and say go get a sandwich by the time a would get back it will be over since theirs no equal footing and ganker's live to be total cheaters.

i have played many types of games that are like this out of 10 of those many games i would say 1 would not have these problems why simple they made it so equal that its not possible to have these problem's.

o and whens the Santa Cecilia going to return we have been waiting so long for it or many its just another cheap trick like the BP events to make everyone angry towards the dev's.

maybe i am a terrible player who knows all i know is i am not the only one hit by this.

Captain, it is hard to say without screenshots or videos, perhaps you aimed too high or something like that. Please provide more details (like screenshots, video), bug report.

push me into the wind didn't work eventual my sails are shredded i am sailing the 3rd rates right behind me and guess what happen'd the game logged me out mid battle ya i got booted i rush to get on and what do i find my ships in a dead stop this is not very realistic the ships don't stop like that in game so why when you get booted from it it

In case you often get disconnections, please send connection test report (Steam Launcher 4th option) or you can test it yourself by this workaround.
In case it rare to happen it might be temporary connection issues on your side. We inform players in case there are any major connection issues on the server side in Developer news forum and here in Support.
Also, in a game there is always something to sacrifice about realism to prevent exploits that are not exist in real life - we give enough time to allow player to reconnect and continue to fight if he lost connection unintentionally.

Regarding the rest points - we do aware that recent changes made the game less fun and we will fix it in the upcoming patches. Since it is Early Access stage we can test various things to see how it works and if it does not make the game better, it is possible to fix it. Thanks for the feedback.

Also, the post in general is a bit offtopic in the support forum. Please post gameplay issues in Naval Action Gameplay Discussions subforum. In Support forum we track technical issues like bugs, connection issues and such.

Sadly most of us have simply moved on to different games and such. We've all been playing non-stop since January/February so due to the lack of pvp that we can find etc a good number of my mates have decided to simply have a bit of a break from the game. 

I've actually deleted 'Juan Alfonso' with all his ships and resources and have chosen a new nation, simply to grind up from a cutter again and see how the new changes affect the early stages of the game.
