Though the reason is not the money but database - there are currently 800k forged papers in the database taking space and reducing speed. Total number of items in redeemables is above 5 mln. They all will get removed including all other unused redeemables except for XP and crafting XP. Player gifts and testing items will be moved to claimable gifts like in most other games. Which you have to login and claim. Separate announcement on redeemables will be made some time soon. Although a temporary forged paper will be provided to all new players for 30 days to change a nation just in case they make a wrong choice (on every new account creation). After 30 day free ride, nation change will be a paid service like in all MMOs (it will be cheaper than WOW's nation change of course as we are an indie company and eat less) 11

The player encounter rate decreases exponentially as player numbers decline, so anything that increases sailing speed, allowing for us to find other people and hunt traders faster actually increases that encounter rate substantially. Well.. It is just your opinion.. man. 8

Are you saying in the future like when the game goes live you will remove all this? Cause yoru going to have a lot of pissed off folks if you wipe all redeemables tonight other than xp. I still haven't redeemed half my ships cause I don't need all them right now like I did when I was playing on the other server and had to be all over the place and I'm about to head to work so I wasn't planing to redeem crap, but if I need to redeem them I need to log in and start doing and hope I have space for them.

It's hard to enjoy the game if there is nobody to fight with, and reducing the speed on OW means less ability to travel, which goes hand in hand with fewer players to meet in ow. I do not understand you a bit, every time you ask players for an opinion, and when their opinion is totally unfavorable, are you still doing everything by own way. It's a pity, because when it comes to NA, you have a monopoly. Certainly if there was competitor, you would care more about the players' opinions and their loyalty. Edited February 1, 2018 by Wojtek

admin Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 1 minute ago, Banished Privateer said: Let's go with facts, that hull speed is not maximum speed. This is not a law on the maximum attainable speed but only the formula giving the hull speed at which the created wavelength equals the hull length on the waterline. hull speed is maximum speed in the age of sail (theoretical) But i think he meant the final speedcap.
Iroquois Confederacy Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, admin said: hull speed is maximum speed in the age of sail (theoretical) But i think he meant the final speedcap. Yes, I was referring to the 15.5kn maximum vessel speed, which I thought was derived from the concept of the hull speed. I could be mistaken. But I was referring to the 15.5kn maximum speed in game.
vazco Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 7% speed decrease is not that substantial. Still, larger speeds DID increase number of PvP and privateering. There are zones in which you can get fights, and large areas of the map where you can't. To get to PvP areas, you have to sail through those large empty areas. Doing it slower means you will do less PvP. On the other hand I'm not an Admin. My post breaks the rule no. 1 that admin is always right - therefore I'm definitely wrong on this. 2

Latron Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 25 minutes ago, Wojtek said: The only thing that will change the speed reduction is that you'll stay in battle longer, nothing more lol. Ships were unrealistically fast and the current speed meta is getting annoying because too many players are running from fair fights. Hopefully this will encourage people to care less about speedy ships made of paper and more about ships that can take a punch 2

We never use excuses here at Game labs as we always say as it is and are always truthful and honest with everyone. If you never lie you will never have to give excuses. All unused redeemables will be removed eventually including forged papers. It does not have to make sense to you. It has to make sense to me. I dont want to keep items for players who do not even play. As keeping them is slowing me down. Redeemables was always a feature that was used for testing only (to quickly give out items to testers) and is not efficient and redundant. Forged papers will be a paid DLC it was mentioned some time ago 4
Iroquois Confederacy Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 With 50-some redeemables still, I'm as guilty as the next person. Our war canoes will have to be burdened by actually collecting our bounty. 3
Latron Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Any planned changes for the 3rd rate? Now that it'll be compared to the bellona and wasa it feels like more of a useless ship than ever before. It's actually a little sad. I've said it before but I think adding mortars to it is a unique opportunity 2

Keep it with lower HP than the Bellona, but the same speed. That way you can have a hard hitting ship for close brawling if you want, or fit some combination of carronades and longs that suits your purposes. A mortar 3rd rate would be interesting too. 3

Finally the 3rd rate has a reason to be used. The wasa still has it's strengths, but now the 3rd rate also has a reason to be sailed. 5

According to the wiki the wasa is the one with better speed and maneuverability and the bottom deck of a 3rd rate has 24lb guns instead of 32. So since the wasa has more chasers and the br of a bellona isnt a lot higher it seems unlikely that the 3rd rate will be used much even now

I know the speed and turn rate are not accurate at the moment. EDIT: Also the 3rd rate does in fact carry 32 pd guns, it was quietly updated a bit back. Edited February 1, 2018 by Guest
