admin Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Captains - hot fix is being deployed today to live servers Low level missions fixed - 6th rates no longer spawn in 7th rate missions Brace now protects your crew from explosions (unless its you who explodes). If you know someone is planning to explode use brace to reduce crew losses. Fixed bugs with rum repairs - surgeon now repairs 30% crew and uses rum properly in instance (1 crew = 1 rum) Increased hostility points generation from pve and pvp by 25% Bellona and 74 blueprints added to a pirate den Speeds at certain angles and turn rates adjusted (mostly improved) for the following vessels Privateer (angles to wind turning) Lynx (turning) Niagara (angles to wind) Rattlesnake (turning) Renommee (turning) Cerberus (speed) Snow (speed, angles to wind) Brig (speed, angles to wind) Endymion (turning) Constitution (turning) Mercury (angles) Surprise, Endymion and Renomme were too fast at close angles to wind and their bonuses the were slightly reduced (approximately 0,5 knot loss at 15 and 45 degrees to wind) Some ships lost a bit of speed at 180 (including constitution and endymion) Several important bugs fixed Significant changes Basic cutter is now a basic pve farming ship. It will not be able to attack players and join pvp battles and outlaw battles (battles originated against the player) as reinforcement. It will still be pulled into combat instance if he is in the pull circle. Open world Unstuck command (Tow to port) has returned to its original form. It sends player to the nearest deepwater port (not to capital). It was a temporary change because we had to the random teleport bug. Ship knowledge tree requirements were relaxed and changed at high level ships. Experimental feature Hull and Rig repairs now share cooldown to provide more depth in combat tactics We plan to address fleets in outlaw battles issues this month. We know it is an important issue. Please try not to hoard your conquest marks and spend them - we plan to gradually increase prices for permits over time. Discuss knowledge slots changes 24

Sir Texas Sir Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 4 minutes ago, admin said: Please try not to hoard your conquest marks and spend them - we plan to gradually increase prices for permits over time. Discuss Is there any way pirates can get some ship that need them in the Pirates Den. The low level SOL permits are nice, but now that I have an Aggy BP that is all I'll spend it on and I shouldn't be going through those to fast. Would be nice if we got a shallow water ships or something 4th rate or below in the shop since we are suppose to be the master of the shallows and light ships. I think the repair cool down is a good step, we might change the time between repairs now since there is a shared cool down. I was feeling the 10 mins was to short with the none share as folks would constantly spam repairs in battle. We will test and give feed back.

Pirates already laid down the first 1st rates by pvping with eachother during the day you could exchange PVP marks for Conquest marks. I think you're doing just fine.
randommexi Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I love you guys! fast response to many concerns. thank you!!!

Finally! 6 minutes ago, admin said: Please try not to hoard your conquest marks and spend them - we plan to gradually increase prices for permits over time. The relative rates used to be pretty good before the pensions were introduced. Blueprints should be quite a lot more expensive than permits, so that becoming a crafter is a much bigger expense than buying a new ship. This also gives lord protectors an advantage in becoming crafters of high level ships, but not an insurmountable one. I still think that we could go back to the old conquest marks prices from before Such is a lord, but at the same time only give pensions once a week, reducing pensions by a factor of 7. Or just increase all conquest mark prices so that relative to each other blueprints and permits are about as expensive as they used to be. Could we have the notes from yesterday's hotfix too? You removed important regions - anything else? Actually I thought the important regions were a good thing, although some of them were unwisely placed (right next to the danish capital, giving pretty safe access to a safe region that is also very hard to have flipped in order to change lord protectors. 3

Oh interesting, in global they claimed that's how they got their Santi in the water today. Cause apparently on day one you could convert PVE to PVP to Conquest Marks. I think day one with 10.0's release. Edited June 8, 2017 by Landomatic

You should not believe things said on the internet. Some of those things are not true. Outlaw battles (pirate vs pirate) do not give rewards. 6

Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Thank you for the essential changes, mainly and in my opinion, the Basic Cutter changes, teleport to capital ( was helpful but removed too much traffic from the OW ). Time to verify the adjustments made on the ships attitudes to the wind, especially the sloop/schoons and brig types. Shared cooldown is a interesting change. A bit unsure but nothing like testing. Thumbs up.

We reprimand players farming pvp marks if the exploit was caught on video or with other sufficient proof. And yet - even if you have 1000 pvp marks for example - how can you turn them into a first rate?
Jesters-Ink Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Ever closer, sounds good to me. TBH though, I think you had ship permits about right. Edited June 8, 2017 by Jesters-Ink

The one big chance i had, to earn pvp was some days ago, when round 30 ships in our nation sailed up to Louisiana to challange the spanish PB. They preffered to joins an empty PB instead of fighting us. Easy Conquest Marks, i suppose its better then hard earned pvp marks.
