Based on the original room that was added long time ago, but was disabled - ships won't sink and you won't loose anything. You jump in , pick sides and start the battle. New room might have new features though. Edited January 25, 2018 by H2O
Sven Silberbart Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Fleet Practice: Why is the button to join so often deaktivated? Players looking into missions -> fleet parctice, then see a disabled button and leave immediately. Only clickable shortly after the switch to the next 5 Minutes timer

I wouldn't mind - I'm all giddy if it works a bit like the duelroom.. which I never really appreciated enough since there were plenty of PvP to be had.. It wasn't untill it was gone and the reinforcementzones screwed PvP'ing up..
Hawkwood Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Where is UI and Tutorial? -- Why is Thickness still unchanged? I feel there must be a real problem for RVR fleets, since many are complaining about it....(Vox populi , vox dei) -- Wasa BR increased finally. +
Bobbit1 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, admin said: can you use both? i wonder so basicly the admin says: -use 5 slots and pay 150 pvp marks and with some luck (do PVE)and you MAY get a rep bonus which maybe close to formal rep bonuses. And did it sound OK? PS: That rep bonus was separating PVE and PVP players in combat. So we are in a PVP server, why you punishing the PVP players? Edited January 25, 2018 by Bobbit1
Lord Amplify of Key West Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 i appreciate the devs listening to the majority of the players and raising the wasa's br and from what i read the wasa will be reclassed as a third rate but this can not be done yet alright good work keep on this track waiting for the next patch 1
Serk Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Plz consider bringing back the 22 hours delay for a PB instead of the current 24 hours. 22 hours makes for more uniform and stable gaming sessions all week long instead of an inflation towards later and later hours 1
VirtuallyIdiotic Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 3 hours ago, admin said: Captains Hotfix is being deployed Fleet Practice Room added. Battles will start when there are 10 players in the room. Maximum size of the group is set at 6. Total player in testing room possible is 50. This sounds like it will be a very nice addition 3 hours ago, admin said: Caguarian and live oak trees buffed. Live oak and Caguarian woods has received a bonus to mast thickness - 5% Live oak has been buffed both in HP and thickness Caguarian HP was buffed This is good to hear. The majority of people use Teak/White Oak, but if they want an increase to thickness they need to sacrifice speed to do so. 3 hours ago, admin said: Thickness drop due to damage increased for light builds. This means that if you are sailing fir/cedar ships you will have to start repairing earlier to retain thickness. Good to hear. 3 hours ago, admin said: Other tunings Wasa Battle Rating (BR) has been increased to 380 Maybe make it 390? Balance it out with the 3rd Rate and Bellona a bit more. Also would like to see some Battle Rating changes to the other 4th rates as well since none of the 4th rates are alike. 3 hours ago, admin said: Upgrade rework: All upgrades that affect speed/turning and repairs were rebalanced In general: majority of bonuses to speed, turning, and repair amount and speed were reduced. 2 upgrades that affect boarding has been buffed barricades ladders Final parameters for changed upgrades can be reviewed here in this document (List of changed upgrades and books). Very good! Alter them to where the mods only give a small bonus rather than a significant one. 1

Vernon Merrill Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Despite the fact that I just dropped 150 PvP marks on the Carpenter Book, I'm still on board with a general nerf of mods... But really, FML. 7
Vizzini Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 are the fleet practice kills supposed to be appearing in combat news ? if so, can they not be please ? not helpful or needed any time frame on cannon penning changes, players are worried it will be a long time .. good news and well done on nearly everything 4
z4ys Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Issues with hotfix: - Combatnews clerk is reporting action of fleet practice leading to false information of player activity - After I surrendered in a fleet practice I spawned in OW Other Issues: I lost a part of my main mast (niagara) and the falling mast turned pink (like losing the texture) @admin + @Ink Edited January 25, 2018 by z4ys 6
Palatinose Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 @admin would it be possible to NOT show kills from the Fleet Practice room in the combat news channel? Issues: causes confusion if player kills another player from the same fraction. reveals peoples location of ships if they kill someone in those actions. It's only of minor nature though. 2
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 4 hours ago, admin said: this will stay until release. as reclassing the ship requires a ship wipe. maybe we will find the way to reclassify it without removing that ship's upgrades. WIPE THEM ALL !!! (wasa) 3
Corona Lisa Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 @admin I can see inside you, the thickness is rising Don't try to deny what you feel (Will you give in to me?) It seems that all that was good has died And is decaying in me (Will you give in to me?) It seems you're having some trouble In dealing with these changes Living with these changes (oh no) The world is a scary place Now that you've woken up the demon in me Get up, come on get down with the thickness Get up, come on get down with the thickness Get up, come on get down with the thickness 7
NethrosDefectus Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Is the wasa now a 3rd rate? It is still showing as 4th rate in the shop. I'm assuming this means it has the BR of a 3rd rate yet still retains the book bonuses of a 4th rate?

Molder169 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) While I have not been playing long, I find it is a good idea to remind myself and others on occasion, that this game is still in ALPHA! Think on this. The developers have thousands of hours of work to do, while still having to pay their individual bills along with the bills that come with hosting servers and maintenance, all the while getting (random guess) less than 50 copy's purchased a month. I am happy that @adminactually posted patch notes this time. Never saw the hotfix patch notes from the release last week. In short: Keep up with the patience Don't stop critiquing (because this is important for the devs to get a read on players) "And don't stop... believing!"

maturin Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 23 minutes ago, Lieste said: Depends on muzzle velocity For a gun of 7.5ft (Frigate and 1st rate Qtr deck @ 1536fps for full charge (1/3rd shot weight)): 1100yds full charge, 1000yds first reduce, 875yds second reduce. Double shot: 475/675 yds for first reduce, 300/525yds for second reduce (second/first ball) Let me get this straight, a 12-pounder penetrates 22" of oak when the velocity is only 734ft/s? That's way into the subsonic range. And the shot only falls to that velocity after 1100 yards if fired with full charge (1526 f/s)? That's impressive, so a frigate will be hulling SoLs even at extreme range.
Hammy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 So I'm hoping your putting more White Oak ports along the US Coast.....
Licinio Chiavari Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 After fastly reviewing the patch I'd say: $£"&&//("£$£!%$%&/()!! ?? Better expressed: the ideas are good (Wasa higher BR, wood type affecting mast bonuses, review of speed/turning books). In general much appreciable*. The real choises still are totally out of target IMO. 1. Devs nerfed (aside loodsman and the small -0.5 copper speed) mainly easily obtainable books/mods (like Speed trim - that bring a malus too - and Gazelle; or staysails/square treatises) and not really rare super books/mods. If you nerf Gazelle to 1% (making it almost useless) you should nerf NHR too to 2% for example as a bare minimum. Are Devs aim to widen the gap between rich vets and new/casual players??? or what? WHY? 2. FAR WORST, even if almost EVERY SINGLE POSTER SAID "Nerf Wasa Buff Constitution/Agamennon" NOTHING ON THAT SIDE. Ok. Wasa will be less used in PBs. Still unbeatable in OW PVP. Well done. And Constitution/Agamennon still unusable (almost). So the question. WHY? 3. Mast thickness from LO (and Caguarian) IS WORTHLESS (5%? kidding?? what is this espected to change in demasting???). May be it helps a bit in 1st rate PBs... still in OW raiding NOTHING CHANGES... granted that NOBODY will ever use LO (damn -9% speed) in PVP being like a suicide. Again: WHY??? Can a Devs explain the reasoning behind such weird decisions? Just to understand. I want to think there are sound reasons to act this way I'm too stupid to see. Explanations would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. 3
