admin Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Captains! Emergency patch will be deployed today Fixed a sneaky bug, that got in recently; bug that did not allow battle entry on the side of the smuggler Smuggler flag has no influence on battle flag from now on. If a brit attacks a french smuggler a battle between britain and france will be created, not brit vs pirate flag as before. As a result several other things also got into the game. Battle rating for vessels has been tuned to incorporate long range dps and alpha Port battles BR adjusted generally was slightly increased for deep water ports - from 5 to 15% more variety in BR were added for shallow water ports BR influence on attacking in OW slightly reduced BR difference influence between solo ships greatly reduced 100BR is now enough to attack a lone 1st rate Influence of numbers for BR group modifiers was slightly reduced You only need 13 santisima trinidads to attack 25 santisima trinidads Prolific Forger DLC has been added to the game. Prolific forger grants access to permanent forged paper that can be used every 30 days to change nation. as usual - we are adding a teaser from the new UI Update: Treasure island port battle BR limits North Inlet - deep water - 2570 Kidd's Harbour - deep water - 2520 Rum Cove - shallow - 1110 Update: Hotfix is being deployed Emergency fix of the port control user interface that helps clans owning more than 28 ports Sealed bottles loot have been improved Logs added to battle joins to help find the bug with disappearing buttons Determined defender is back 32
Liq Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Forged paper DLC on steam? And if so what price? Edit: found it, about $20 on steam Edited February 23, 2018 by Liq

Nelsons Barrel Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 So to expierience the whole game its currently 56,99€ in total. But I get it. If you are a hardcore player you pay anyway, you already bought alts. If you only play casual some PVE it doesnt matter how the RVR situation for your nation is as you dont leave capital area anyway and therefore you will not buy the forged papers. So I am fine with it. 4

So I am fine with it. Remember that tutorial final exam will grant players M&C rank. So new player who thinks that he made a wrong choice when starting a game can just delete a character, pass a tutorial and get m&c rank back, by just passing the exam again. Prolific forger DLC is not for them, its for players who cannot commit and change nations 5-6 times a year or more. 8

Oh well, luckily I have enough alts already anyways... Name change DLC will be 30$? 22 minutes ago, admin said: Prolific forger DLC is not for them, its for players who cannot commit and change nations 5-6 times a year or more. Should have added another nation for those people - Hobo nation. 2

NavalActionPlayer Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 So...is this DLC a one time purchase that one can use as many times as one likes (subject to the 30 day cool down) or does one have to purchase it each and every time?
Glorgir Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 So basically it will now be much easier for defenders to Screen out attacking PB fleets. You will only Need 13 ships to Screen out the attackers 25 man Screen fleet, leaving the PB fleet vulnerable. I can see Major Problems resulting from this. 2
Guenwhyvar Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 So, the update makes screening almost impossible and defending a port more difficult.

NavalActionPlayer Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 1 minute ago, the Kidd said: many times you like???? but still only once per month right? Yes, every 30 days
the Kidd Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Just now, NavalActionPlayer said: Yes, every 30 days puuh then its okay ;D
Glorgir Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 5 minutes ago, Guenwhyvar said: Wasn't it 25% before? For example, at N inlet there were 2 Screening fleets, one Danish and 1 Pirate, neither had the BR to pull the attacking fleet into battle enabling the PB ships to enter. With These changes, both fleets could have attacked the Russian fleet, ensuring no PB

You will need 13 Santisimas. The number required was 19 before the patch. It was strange and weird and not really historical that 18 first rates could not attack 25 first rates. 1

If you want to get ships, items, cannons, mast upgrades, XP for ship slots (merged from Global PVP) and forged papers you have to login and redeem them BEFORE 15 March 2018
Lord Amplify of Key West Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 ah thanks christoph this wasn't mentioned in the message that's why i asked

It was strange and weird and not really historical that 18 first rates could not attack 25 first rates. How does this work with mixed fleets, what would the requirements be for the tag , for example a fleet of 10 first rates, 8 seconds , 6 3rd rates , and a mortar brig, set up so the PB ships have protection to the port. PB fleet being 2 first rates, 3 3rd rates and the mortar brig. What fleet would the Defender have to bring now to enable combat. Isnt this giving the Defender just another Advantage, they have to bring less ships to be able to stop the attackers even reaching the port. Please do not take this as a criticism, just want to be able to plan an appropriate Response for attackers. If I am correct, you only Need around 58% of the BR to initiate combat now Edited February 23, 2018 by Glorgir spelling
