I'm done

[Quineloe]

That has nothing to do with what I wrote though. Captured ships would have a market regardless, especially with expensive upgrades on them.

[z4ys]

But when ships get to cheap there is no sense in capturing them. Then the sinking reward would be higher as the market prize. Which would make a captured ship senseless because the reward is only the ship itself.

[Quineloe]

a PVP killed Endymion for example only rewards 60k.

You did not have a hard time selling a big 5th rate of high quality wood and of exceptional quality for less than 200k before the wipe. 60k is next to nothing, of course you'll get more than that for a good captured ship of that size.

You need much much less LH nowdays to craft a ship. No mid-high grade notes, carriages are much much less LH consuming also.

Carriages were replaced by having to craft cannons. The cannons for a 44 gun frigate take almost 300 hours now. That's pretty much what the carriages used before.

True on the notes, but still - 3k labor hours used to craft an exceptional 44 gun frigate with 5 durability. Now it's 2k labor hours to craft 1.

This game is dead, they just don't realize it yet. 

Its dead, but the problem is that it has so good core, that it should be a best seller. Its only the devs, or main dev fault. i cry....

30 knots raceboats with machine guns, auto aim and Disney graphics? Hard pass. I'd rather buy a rope and look for a tree than play this mainstream garbage.

the problem that this shit will have much more players, than NA, because players get instant action, while in naval action is NO action. Should be so easy to change this...

I played ww2 online for 6-7 years that game never was time sink.

I played for 7 years then was banned by DOC, for calling him out on his favoritism.  And yes it was a timesink, more so if you wanted to be good and had stats you cared about.

You must be missing the irony of your statement!

Oh WWII Online was never a waste of time.  Well except when I used to do my Opel rush attacks or that time I tried to jump a Pz2 over Destroyer.

Well it was far from perfect but it was fun and they didnt force to do anything what y didnt want to do.

It is dead. At least for me. I can't sail and fight because I can't get a ship to fight with. It's that simple for me. I just loved the belle Poole and exploring. I don't have 40 hours a week to sink into the game to maybe afford one belle Poole.  

Like a poster before stated...I really thought going to one dura ships would be good. More ships on the market I thought would equal less fear of pvp'ing. It didn't have that effect at all. Now you can't even get a one dura ship. No ship=no game. 

Theres also no capturing ships any more. So you can't even board. For a historical game/sim to TURN OFF that feature is a game killer. THATS PRETTY MUCH ALL THEY DID BACK THEN. 

So although I'm a sim over arcade type of guy I'm forced to wait on skull and bones. 

At least with that game I'll be able to sail a ship. 

650+ hours and sad.

The devs and the selected mods who tell them what to do have made it clear they do not want players like you or i. They want a game for about 50 or60 hard core clan minded gamers to play with and eveyone else can leave.

Guys I am not in a clan (well, I am, but I am its only member, lol) and am having more fun now than I've ever had in the game. Today I capped 4 different ships: 2 traders, 1 Lynx and 1 Privateer. I had one of the very best 1v1 duels I've ever had. I found PVP just a couple minutes from my doorstep. I saw huge battles go down between the Pirates and the US. It was a great day of Naval Action for me overall.

I have over 750,000 gold in the bank, a bunch of ships in dock, more for sale (the capped ones) and am finding great PVP. All in the US West Coast timezone, one of the deadest times of all.

I just can't agree that there's something significantly wrong here. I've put a lot of time in since wipe, but it has all been a lot of fun. I've done very little RVR and zero port battle stuff and haven't even noticed.

How long is your average play session

Sailing solo in the Lesser Antilles today.  Had 6 fights within 3 hours.  Man, there is no action.

Gustavia market PvP EU, 5 Belle Poules, 200k-390k. When you cant afford this youre doin something wrong. You can sell upgrades or skillbooks for more. One lucky drop and you can afford a new ship. Just your labour provides ~100k each day and more when you use it smart. Invest in something profitable before you buy an expensive ship or more dockspace, and money goes to money. PvP isnt profitable atm, but thats not killing the game, its a temporary balancing issue. 

Learn the game and stop whining. If you got problems, people are very helpful in this game. Posts like this are not helpful. After you tried different stuff, talked with other guys and informed yourself, then you can come here and post what exactly you tried, and why it didnt work for you. 

When youre still pissed that this game is going to be what it was supposed to be, a slow paced sandbox style game, just keep out of it. The amount of mindless BS in most topics became annoying. No matter what happens, there are "this kills the game" and "game is dead" voices, nobody is going to listen anymore.

I sailed around Inagua three times today. Nothing attacked me, nothing worthy of attacking and yes I always had vision to the shore.

There were constant fights there yesterday.

Nobody is going to listen anymore? Maybe that's due to hardly anyone being left to listen.

Since when was this game supposed to be all about endless hours of trading/crafting. Unless of course your able to play during that " magical " prime time hour.

 

[Prater]

There is no prime time hour.  Prime time on EU lasts 8 or so hours.  With 800 people on right now, there are plenty of targets.

Finding action may not be the main issue, but if the revenge fleeters are any smart, they'll position a few ships at your best point of wind escape direction - doesn't take a genius

30 sec invis timer is a joke
