Landsman Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 4 hours ago, admin said: Open world speeds were increased 50% since release on early access, and contributed probably to less pvp and less privateering. 4 hours ago, Wraith said: 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. Wat? If we ignore people that quit over reudced speed then the chances are the same, since everyone is slower/faster ?!?
Raf Van Boom Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Interesting changes - will test and see how it turns out.

BallsOfSteel Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Happy to see the changes. Any chance of a change in downtime at all? For those few aussies and asians still playing we cannot access events as they occur at least two hours before downtime and therefore we miss out due to the downtime every time. 3
Pablo Frias Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Yes, tutorial!!! I can finally learn how to play this game !! 7
Corona Lisa Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 @admin so will all redeemables (except xp) be deleted when this patch goes live or at the next patch? Im a bit confused here.
Navalus Magnus Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) @admin 1. A tutorial: Nice! Wasa aka Gustaf Adolph as a 3rd rate: Thumbs up! 👍 Reballance of thickness: I start to get giddy! 😊 ... Such patches feel good - like moving on after a longer period of waiting! 2. I think the speed nerf is ok, but a bit to drastical - 4% would be my suggestion! ... but we‘ll see how it feels like. The „can’t join battle“ timer: Well, we had quite a quarrel about that yesterday, had we!? The question was and still is: Shouldn‘t defending port battle fleets be able to join the port battle immediately after leaving the port - without the need to wait for a cooldown!? You‘ve got much and more feedback on that behalf, and almost everyone - regardless of thier ingame fraction - urged you to grant such an advantage to the defending pb fleets! They even gave you reasons for this request: - better chances for smaller fractions to defend a port against am enemy outnumbering them by far - numbers count anyway (hostility missions can be finished faster with more players involved, screening fleets would still be a measure against attackers, or to fight off the defending screening fleets) - the logic: A fleet which comes out of an attacked port to engage an aproaching enemy can‘t be intercepted to fight a battle for the port = a port battle. As soon as the engagement started - with whatever a fleet the attacker had mustered - this battle would be a „port battle“ in the above mentioned sense of meaning. So please at least pay special attention to that topic and change the mechanic as soon as it transpires, that defending port battle fleets don’t stand a chance of getting into a port battle when facing enemy fleets outnumbering theirs by far! EDIT: Seems like you have fixed the pb timer - thank you, i think it that is a good thing! Edited February 1, 2018 by Navalus Magnus 3

You'll get a warning 30 days ahead so whenever it hits you have plenty of time to redeem your items Admin: "there will be an announcement of course that will give players 30 days to redeem the old gifts."
Fox Proudfoot Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Changes to forged papers are just a cash grab. Speed changes are just going to make the game more tedious. RvR changes completely screw over small nations - It's already hard enough to defend multiple ports being attacked simultaneously. Interestingly, this will mean a bunch of players will need forged papers to switch nation to a "winning side" #moneyacquired Why are Forged papers becoming a paid service when the game is still in early access and constantly being changed? My suggestion: if you want to grow the playerbase (and sell more copies of the game) you should work on the UI. I know for a fact the UI was my main hesitation when buying the game, my partner would play if it werent for the placeholder UI and Im sure there are hundreds of potential players that also haven't bought into NA as a result of the UI. I would argue that slowing down travel time makes everything take even longer without enhancing the gameplay in anyway; thus creating more reason to AFK/tab out and stop engaging with the game - this won't improve the playerbase. Creating a paid DLC for ingame consumables will not attract new players, it will only discourage existing ones. Making RvR advantage the majority will discourage small clans/gangs from even considering it (which I thought the new port system had done a great job encouraging) - I completely agree with timer from exiting battle, but undocking from a port to defend? you just kill small nations I've played your game for 860 hours and enjoyed lots of them thanks for developing Naval action sorry I've not been more vocal on the forums. There's some cool stuff for players to get excited about in this patch, shame it is basking in the shade of some shit.
Navalus Magnus Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 @admin It has just come into my mind: Are the sailing profiles of all ships final now? Or could we still hope for some changes - e.g. the Victory becoming the best upwind sailing 1st rate again?
Sven Silberbart Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 7 hours ago, admin said: Base speed reduced for ALL vessels by 7% If i remember right, you do this in hope to create more battles and less runways (in addition to the speed upgrade nerfs). In my oppinion the ship speeds must be different to create a fight not more equal. What happens if a 2 ships meet with same speed but different armor and weapons. The lower one runs of course, but no the runaway takes much more time as before, coz both have nearly equal speeds. @admin Why not decrease the tack circle. That would really makes more fights and less runaways. The ships would be in firing range at battle start.

Fox Proudfoot Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Ow speed is double instance speed. Unless you are talking to relative position on the globe.. then I have no idea

Paid DLCs for consumables existed in MMO games since forever. We also know it will not affect existing ones, as those who do not change nations do not care and those who used all 5-6 forged papers we gave before will gladly pay for changing nations in the future because it gives them the flexibility they want. 1

Unless you are talking to relative position on the globe.. then I have no idea it is not double instance speed. Speed = Distance/Time. The speedometer you see is adapted for psychological reasons, people think 275 knots speed is not realistic but if we divide it by X - 20 knots suddenly become ok and more realistic (even if it is the same distance/over time).. So 7% speed is nothing for OW - almost nothing. 7
