Can they only be obtained this way or can they also be crafted? we wanted to try something new in terms of how some ships can be received. You don't have to craft those ships - you get them straight as a built ship. 4
Anolytic Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Why make every new conquest port a 4th rates port battle? That is a terrible idea and gives a huge advantage to zerg nations that can screen in 1st and 2nd rates. 1

JohnAustin Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Was on, teleported to different outposts, created a hostility mission, then tried to select a ship - wouldn't select. The store was empty, etc. Quit game, tried to re-enter, am stuck on the player-selection dialog 2

They are currently available for combat marks as fully built ships - when using the ship note you will be able to pick the wood type and trim to your liking. Prices are not final but we are expecting combat mark prices to fall within a short time.

I see, that is unfortunate IMO. But we will have to see how it works out!
NavalActionPlayer Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Cant do anything with cargo when sailing e.g. split, destroy or convert. Got to port and couldn't enter port. Reboot/restart - now stuck on player selection screen

NavalActionPlayer Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 @admin and @Ink Guys think the Global server is screwed - I am stuck at the player selection screen - others reporting the same. 1
Maximus Cucci Payne Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Friendly Clans tab is stuck on "loading..." screen, so cannot manage our relation with other clans. Also, the ship's fishing tab (function) doesn't work.
Khyron Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 For some reason i'm not loading in, I open the game, select my server (global) select my name and hit start, i get the small black circle in the lower left and it just sits there. Verified files, Nvidia card has up to date drivers, i5 3 gig and 8 gigs memory... any idea's?
CoolBreeze66 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Interesting, I can log into the EU server and sail. But I can't log into the Global server, select a ship and sail, WTF over? I restarted the puter but unable to get into the server on the Global side Edited September 11, 2017 by CoolBreeze66

It adds an element of excitement when looting and it also means that people who only do PvE still have a usefulness to the PvPers. 5 minutes ago, NethrosDefectus said: The Superior Guacata sold this morning actually, and I can take the Gunnery sergeants down and do you a better deal if you ask nicely. I originally wanted to ask questions about the first quote but last quote explains it all to me. Maybe you go out for pvp every now and then, but from your own statements it's obvious you are a big time grinder. In itself that isn't a problem, if people want to pork bots they should be able to pork bots. If people want to get rich, well, hey! Go ahead and get rich if that's fun for you. The idea that PVE grinding is useful to PvP'ers is a perverted half truth. PvP'ers want the good stuff to feel competitive and PVE grinders sell the good stuff. So far so good. Someone who wants to avoid grinding boring bots can't really afford the good stuff you sell. We're presented with the choice of either subjecting ourselves to repetitive and boring gameplay or give up on having competitive gear. This had led to many pure-PvP'ers leaving the game or climbing up on the fence. I never understood how this could be a good thing for the game, and consequently I never understood how rare rng loot drop or ultra expensive gear could be good for the overall game. Keep in mind we used to believe PVP was the main focus of OW NA. I can twist my mind and see some logic to it. The economy and PVE grind is the king and core of the game with small RvR sideshow and an even tinier OW PVP hunting side-side show. Pure-pvp'ers are grains of sand in the great wheels of the economy and PVE grind; impossible to satisfy and constantly involved in disruptive activities. It is, indeed, no country for old men. In this patch, and in some preceeding patches, there has been small and gradual changes to make some smaller ships somewhat more affordable and time-effective to make. We appreciate it. Must this game feature ultra rare and expensive fighting gear? (Bonus question: Would PVE grinders, who make up the majority of the player base, quit if PvP gear wasn't buried inside a mountain of PVE activities?) 3

Ink Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Captains, pvp global is currently unavailable due to technical issues. 1
CoolBreeze66 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Global server under maintenance as we speak
Teutonic Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) 2 minutes ago, admin said: ?? can you explain? not entirely sure on the screening aspect but it is a concern. but in terms of ports, almost ever port that we can capture is now a 4th rate or shallow water. Only a few capital regions are 1st rate port battles. I actually recommend that all region deep water capitals now become 1st rate ship Port Battles. Edited September 11, 2017 by Teutonic
