Battle sails should have sail defense and accuracy, but more vulnerability to boarding? 

 Most sail handling under battle sails was done from the deck so I am not sure you'd be more vulnerable to boarding.

What if a fast moving ship approaching a slow moving ship with battle sails? Fast one has more control and can tbone already slow moving ship. Would that be a reason for a better boarding chance?

 I am mostly thinking about low speed vs fast speed and better boarding positioning.

well if people got 30 FPS drop from 60, then you will not see a difference. It must be effecting ultra users who never got used to 30fps life. I am suspecting Ultra - High settings got bugged.

OW fps actually increased, average 15 fps increase.

Battle seems the same.

Sapphire Pulse 8G RX570

If your room got colder you will see a slight FPS increase by default. Could it be a video driver issue? I haven't tested my laptop yet, still at work. 

I know My laptop has a feature if power cable is unplugged FPS drop to 30 default in all games, I wonder if guy is playing on battery with power cable unplugged, overheating issue or not enough juice to run at full power.

How long stays the option to disable control? In my battle it stayed the whole time. And i have the perk (not active because of my ship)

In my opinion it should be vanish after battle countdown is over or 1 min after battle was entered.

Control perk changes 

  • Perk control can be switched off in the beginning of the battle, if you do not want to use it.
  • There will be a button for the first 5 mins that will let you decide if you want to control on or not.

New UI is interesting. A bit buggy, but an ok change from the old style.

 

How long until you add more OW game mechanics besides fishing and AFK sailing? I'm talking about things like, board games with the crew (or yourself) listening to period music, sea shanties by the crew?

 

Basically, more interaction with the game during long sails?

 

The new patch is great and all, but at this point, the game is greatly lacking in playable depth. The OW is extremely basic and boring. Something really needs to be done...

 

Anyway, I'll see you all in another 8 months. Maybe then, we'll see something really new...

Out of two and a half years of expierience I can certanly tell you that the sale is not significantly increasing playernumbers but rather the alt percentage compared to real main accounts. 

The game just drowns in thousands of other game sales and you really need to search for it on steam to find it nowadays.

Great update! Love the map, and haven't tested it all yet, but will we be able to adjust the scaling on the UI? The buttons feels to small.

Was informing the fellows that a sale is up so they can speak to their friends and family, me included.

Given you are neither friend nor family of mine, I won't tell you that a sale is on.

May I suggest a somewhat simpler compass interface; sails and speed outside compass rose, read arrow for wind, simple direction icon for ship.

Map - please consider restoring the grid to the map, would make it easier to describe positions.

 

Move the icons currently centre bottom to top left horizontal or top left vertical.

Strange thing. I tried to exchange a ship between my two French accounts, this was working until yesterday.

Impossible today (I have room left on the docks). the screen freezes after "accept trade". Nothing else to do then than "cancel trade".

Trading some stuff (barrels) worked just after.

F11 made on both accounts.

EDIT: I put the ship on sale by "Eleazar" and "Eleazar de Damas" purchased it OK. ==> Nothing was wrong in docks and other things.

But I lost the taxes (I'm French, and so, used to losing taxes! 😉)

Ability to trade in the open world added to game. 

  • Trade is possible with your nation 
  • Trade is possible in the radius of attack
  • If one of the parties to a trade exits this radius trade will stop
  • Trade is only possible from hold of the ship

This is good, but what is the reason why you can't trade with other nations? We can when docked in the port. Shouldn't it be player's choose and freedom to act?

Also trading in battle is what REALLY would spice the game. Specifically hunters. As I have suggested before, an ability to offer to pay ransom instead of loosing the ship and the cargo is an awesome feature.

Again it will be up to player whether they want to trade or not. After all it is not compulsory.
