 The way this works in game right now, I think might need to be changed. You have it set, so if you use your 3 "cancellations" you can then no longer drop missions at all. So if i have 3 combat missions outside my capital and then want to go do hostility missions you cant pick them up as your stuck with your 3 combat orders and you would have to do these first, even if they were in terrible spots that would get you killed.

Perhaps changing it so hostility missions have there own separate "cancellations"  would work and also allow us to have 3 combat/fleet missions plus 3 hostility missions (or 1-2) at same time would solve the problem.

Easy solution for the time being: take a basic cutter, enter the mission, turn around and flee, leave ASAP. Mission failed but done. :)

Was a bit too close ineed and somehow you cant see hit boxes on this tutorial enemy ship sails. I dont know if its intended.

Hmm, I had read that damage to sails and rigging would be increased and range matters

One combat mission just send me in front of an enemy port. It could be very historical and all that stuff but it wouldnt help anyone.

this is literally the ideal pvp mission.

Another thing: After the endurance exam you get stuff. I claimed it, but didnt get the ship that was announced, bug? @admin

You get the rattle note for general exams, Hercules and naval clocks are rewarded for the final exam

In my opinion the final exam shows perfect how important mods and perks are. It would a nobrainer with mods and perks.

I feel like wind changing with the ship in the 2nd tutorial will be too confusing and / or misleading for new players

chains are totally useless, remove them.

the ''increased damage'' isn't so increased (from 100 to 75%, before patch 100 to 80%)and new exploit is waiting enemy finish his chains and then call friends to join battle...just happened

or simply, gank fest patch.  3 vs 1 is 12 chain rounds vs 4 chain rounds

 

Minimal OW speed against the wind has slightly increased - nope, it's doubled.  before patch was 3kn now 6-7 and 15-16kn at 30° until 60° (i like going faster in OW but this speed isn' t intended one)

You should try to shoot at closer ranges than before
Chain damage was literally DOUBLED. Maybe you are shooting from too far. It does not do much damage from 600m and further.

Tutorials are bad. Really bad. AI is cheating like there is no tomorrow. Endurance exam is confusing since you don't know that second ship will spawn. Final exam is worst of all. I went with boarding immediately and what do I find? AI cerb had double loaded! Shame, shame, shame...

And there is no way new guy can finish these tutorials. I have 1000+ hours and I struggled with some of them

One chain hit did 5% sail damage,so they are not useless.

AI never cheats. it just plays well and uses yards well. 
But we tested all of them. Our artists from other projects with no experience with NA were able to pass the final after several tries.

@admin i was almost sunk by the AI in Demasting mission. New players may be discouraged by dying in tutorial. Take AI cannons away or give some repairs on players ship.

Please try to pass the tutorial boss in Dark souls on the first try and come back to me. Tutorials must be a challenge because they prepare you for harsh OW.

I think the tutorial is pretty good, although it could prove very tough for an inexperienced player: maybe thats a good thing! I think letting people coach each other in the tutorial could be very good though.

Good looking patch so far.

is this thing tradeable? People will just delete their alt and pass tutorial over and over for 4% speed

Tutorial completion is tied to the account (on the server). You cannot get rewarded a second time. These are very very rare items (ship and clock)

yes, this would solve the problem for the time until a better solution Suppe ... but why should I pay with my lifetime for a wrong way of development?

I will F11 it every day and will not sail for useless PVE missions ... :mellow:

Teaser from the new UI.
This is work in progress and visuals might change during implementation

Was really hoping it would come out with this patch. @admin will the UI update be coming out sometime this month or early next month? Or has it been delayed because of small yet understandable complications?
