Grundal Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Admin. I am unable to test on test server. Sorry. I have a new fam member. Can you provide details on pirate den and all things rat related please. Thank you. 1

Grundal Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Thank you. I just saw the rat den quote wanted details.
jodgi Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 "Thank you"!?!?!? You should be gasping in shock and disbelief!

We all start with a "basic" set it seems. To get the advanced skills we have to purchase them in the admiralty shop or get lucky and find them as you did.

I clicked "use" but there is no visible clue as to what it did. Its a pellew's sights for fourth to fifth rate ships. It will show up once you unlock a slot on a 4-5th rate ship and decide to place an upgrade there: you'll see it in your choices for upgrades (which you can swap at any time in any port). That one is pretty decent, but there is a better one (sorry I don't remember the name..."L'Horizon something" I think is what is it) that makes your guns more accurate.
Aventador Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) @admin So I made an account and started with 0 gold and 0 xp to test what it would be like for a noob. I started in the noob zone which was recommended and I couldn't take missions... I would have to sail to shroud cay or cayo bisc to get them. I hope you change this Edited April 20, 2017 by Aventador
JobaSet Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 omg we so need a tree for this Skilled upgrade Ship Tree SOON. Thought we could just have a few ship we like but look like we have to be good in all really not cool.

jodgi Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 5 hours ago, JobaSet said: Thought we could just have a few ship we like but look like we have to be good in all Don't worry, you don't have to be good in everything. As things stand now it looks like a medium intensity grind, which you can can do against bots, and then you're done. To fully unlock one ship's potential they're asking for a time commitment to a few ships. You can auto-skipper and play as lazily as you like and still get it done. I'd argue we can do the grind quicker by emplying low-brow "tactics" like downwind carro broadside smashing and bringing fleet bots.
Little pony Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 hi captains, Did anybody got the same bug than me...didn't get my redeem "XP craft" when i have created my character on testbed server. I got the million gold, hull repairs, rig repairs, medikits and the 200k points xp rank" but didn't get the redeem "xp craft" Did a report bug but not sure devs have to take care of things less important than that^^
FieryCross Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Carried out a 2nd Lt, mission, was in a Ren against a Brig and Pickle, appear to have received the XP and gold, but should also of had 4 PVE Marks, these I did not receive. update in and out of port or different port didn't work, log out then back in again updated PVE Marks with the correct amount. How do you use med kits now to replenish crew, can't use from hold, or from dock or OW? Edited April 20, 2017 by FieryCross Update,

In open World use the Menu in the left upper corner click repair select Crew restore what u need. Then go to Manage Crew and send it to your Ship. The Crew what you shoud get throug repair gets added to your Reserve Crew.
FieryCross Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Cheers for that, got it now Well if this goes live not going to see any big ships for a while. Love the Bellona so had a look at the BP cost. 500 trading manifests, at 10 PVE marks a manifest that's 5000 PVE marks Edited April 20, 2017 by FieryCross
FieryCross Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Okay bought a Conni equipped the top deck sailed, went into battle no top deck guns. Went back to port guns are in warehouse re-equipped went to home page, back to equipment guns still mounted, sailed. Went back into port, equipment, top gun decks have demounted, cannot get the top deck guns to stay equipped 12lb longs.

Upgrade were/are going away because carebears cried so much, because, the hard core players had all the good mods and used them for and advantage (so they said). Now with bow upgrades and the way you have to get upgrades it may even be worse. You watch when patch goes live. Carebears going to have the same problem(s) yelling they use Atls and why can't I have that. The Money, XP, and Marks problem on test now is going to make for some over the top crying. Mak my word, but you can get threw it with hard work. A CASREBEAR DON"T WANT TO WORK HARD. Once the hard core get all the good stuff, the carebears will cry and everything will get nerfed. Just like they have done over and over for hard to get upgrades. How many Carebears are going to use boats with bow upgrades they can lose........None..... I can see it now..........Hard core have an advantage, Alt abuse or what ever it happens to be. Right back were we started. Then the nerf bat comes out and shits on all the hard core player that put the hard work and time in. This is a Fact. All you got to do is look at what they have done in the past.
Sir Texas Sir Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 6 hours ago, admin said: its not final yet. Good to know, I like the concept, just not the grind. IF it was say I want to unlock the Surprise I have to get 2 points in all the other light frigates for my 3rd point. Than 3 points for my 4, or something like that where it's like related ships than I understand. Right now it's basicly saying i have to unlock a tree of ships to get to the one I want to master. So that would be the Renno and the Cerberus which are the other light frigates, hell even the Niagara could be thrown in there. Though group them up with like style ships would make more since than the tree right now and all the grind and don't make it where you have to unlock half a dozen to get one ship unlocked. Make it a slot thing. You need 3 slots unlocked from other ships of that class to move up. Right now the system makes you become a vet in all those ships so you can master one. Most officers didn't got through every ship as they ranked up. Some did have more than one ship, but others only had a few commissions and they went up in ship class cause of there rank more than there experience as a captain. Some of your worse captains also had no experience at all but was given a high rank commission cause of family or money. 6 hours ago, jodgi said: Don't worry, you don't have to be good in everything.

Just going with the Surprise since I haven't messed with the Connie or Trinc much this is the path as I understand it. Surprise needs you to unlock 3 on the Renomme, The Renomme needs you to unlock 4 on the Mercury, The Mercury needs you to unlock on the Pirvateer, The Privateer neesd you to unlock on the Lynx So effectively I have to go back and play 5 ships and that is if I even got this figured out from others that have been unlocking them and this is only for the Surprise. I think the Trinc you have to go down the other side to the cutter or something. Than you got ships like the Endymion that is needed and we can't even craft that (so far as we know) so you have to find one to capture and than grind it out. That isn't just a few ships. Every time you move up in ship level you have to figure out the tree for it. Way to much grinding and way to complicated. The only folks that will ever master anything are the hard core guys that play all the time.

Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 We are moving a bit away from the hotfix specific topics. Discussion is solid in itself, but unrelated to the hotfix. Fixed bugs: Crew and hp bug in mission battle result screen Bug with not working reverse speed Trade window bug (players lost their ships they traded via trade window) Cargo duplication bug Other changes: Crew button added to Repair option in OW More content added to Pirate Den Perk reset cost decreased from 100 to 50 marks.
