They said the keys would be done in 'batches' during the end of the week(maybe a few batches a day over 3-4 days?) and that the key may come on Monday for some. That is how I interpreted the update.

 

hope it was better lol

I think I see some names  in this post from the "old" potbs days..  how many were from the POTBS Days when a 6 pack of Privs in HMC's could do some damage in a PB?
I really hope this game is more "true" to Combat in the age of sail..and keep the SciFi Fantasy aspect out of it.

Eventhough, I am newer player to POTBS I think that game was way more fun when you could form a fleet of 1st - 2nd rates compared to HMCs or

generally ''frigates port battles''.

All the tactics,strategy and discipline that needed to be used in a rate pb I think exceeded the fun of older POTBS.

I was in potbs since international beta till the end of Russian server.

I was also the first owner of pirate pommern hercules frigate on roberts. 

Some logical sci fi is inevitable by the way. But there will be no magic like break formation.

The PB's that I'm talking about were 4 groups of 6..
1 group usually of 1sts and 2nds.

2 groups mixed 3rd and 4th rates,  Freetraders, etc

1 solid group of Privateers in HMCs.

in those port battles, the Privs could herd along the enemy line. Once both lines engaged, could then work the ends of the enemy line with great effectiveness.

 

I was/and guess I still am Absolon on the Antigua server.

 

to admin.. some logical sci fi is to be expected, but a couple of things I really hope you fixed?

timed debuff shots. Either I'm ordering the crew to load a certain shot, and aim a certain way, or I am not. Every time I fire chain, bar, star and the like at their rig, their should be a chance of a cut shroud.

Avcom. Never liked POTBS avcomin the least. Never represented what I would consider true ship to ship boarding would look or act like. Who in their right mind let the boarding party form on the bow, while you wait on the stern, and keep your marines/sailors below and only let them out in waves?

Yes! Nothing against potbs but I hope people bring an open mind to this game and don't bring any potbs baggage to this one. Enjoy Naval Action and let it, and the player base, evolve naturally and see what it becomes.

POTBS and Naval Action are two very different games, both with unique, enjoyable aspects to them. However NA can not be played like POTBS.
