Maybe it will give you a clue of what happened: https://imgur.com/a/dsIM7lp First two people dropped out. Then for some time all ships merged into one. After that they re-appeared on their locations and two people out of 5 got in, yet game was laggy. After 30 secs all dropped out. Edited June 21, 2018 by vazco 1

Do they still try to dictate strategy to other British clans?
JDAM Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 @admin Have had the large frame rate drop as well: 45-60 down to 25-30....

You must have had serious lag issues as you did not notice there were 3 Bellonas in the battle, Hans dropped and reconnected then dropped again, you appeared to be going for the kill when you too dropped then your mate also disconnected. Henry, who was almost sunk by this stage, and myself did not disconnect and got out of battle. I think it was you and Hans who then appeared in OW and remained there till the log off timer (I could have tagged you for the afk kill). Not sure what happened to Ghastly as the AI were still shooting him when we left and he was sailing on autopilot. I think it was lucky for you there was disconnects or you would have lost your Vics 😋

That's why I said only two bellonas left. Anyway, if you were not disconnected and didn't tag, I appreciate it. Edited June 22, 2018 by vazco
vazco Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Btw, my graphics have too saturated colors after the new patch (Nvidia, I'll make a bug report) . It happens to one other person as well. Edited June 22, 2018 by vazco 1

Strange to quote myself... @admin, I think the new sinking mechanic is quite bad. If you can survive with only a part of 1 bar of structure, it's quite strange. In my opinion survivability is too high in this case, as when you fight 1 vs 4, very often you sink people by leaving them with only a fraction of their structure and you can't get closer. Those fights will be much harder now and ganks will have an additional advantage. 4
Urchin Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) 1. New UI very smooth no lag very efficient once use to it. 2. Bottom icons could be slightly larger and brighter. 3. Same for the compass slightly larger and made sharper with thinner graduations and font. 4. Overall really like the artistic design. 5. Tips and information great! Congrats team obviously a lot of thought and time has gone into these changes, looking forward to seeing the Port UI. oh and the map is perfect although could do with being able to scroll slightly further to east Bridgetown Saint Joseph feel a bit cut off.

Forbin Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Map is gorgeous, but please bring back the grid on it. 2
Lovec1990 Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 I like all the changes that were made but do you got any eta on DLC?

The benefits are too low or something is not working. i felt the same, the only benefit of it is if you want to tack, or have built up speed with full sails and quickly go down to battle sails to make a sharper turn, because then you already have the speed. It would be much more sense if you go to battle sails, less sailing crew will be required example if you get demasted, your sailing crew requirements gets lower. Also could be good if you get accuracy and reload bonus if you have a slower speed which should make sense Edited June 22, 2018 by Guest
Liq Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Mmhm games on sale -60%, hope that combined with new UI boosts playercount a little

It was ok in the previous map. And why for god sake a grey water... It looks like we have an ui made by Microsoft Windows with all these horrible and cold grey-bluish colours. You never served have you? I kinda enjoy the grey-bluish tones. While they aren't exactly Battle Ship Grey (or more Navy Grey) or Naval Blue they give me a more warm feeling from back when I was in the Navy and still a lowly Sailor that had to paint stuff all the time. Than again I don't want a gay arse Disney bright game either.....If I wanted that I would go play Sea of Thieves or something.

They really need to tie in repairs to battle sales too, this will slow down fights so folks don't go full sales all fights long. Than again I used Battle Sails all the time in fights in the past so I got a feeling I'll notice the difference more than most. Cause I tended to had run the faster ships out of the group so keep to battle sails to keep same pace of all the tanks.

Es ese el razonamiento? Quizás los otros MMO a los que usted se refiere tienen muchos más jugadores, por eso se lo pueden permitir. And as the others drug themselves, so do I. Is that the reasoning? Maybe the other MMOs you are referring to have many more players, so they can afford it.
Simon Cadete Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 The patch seems nice for the most part. I understand that port ui and localization are next on the list but please tell me that right now there is at least one developer working on pve content such as treasure fleets, missions with scripted content and more variety, steam achievements and many other things. The game needs that type of content more than anything else. create content for the casual player, increase the population in the game and pvp will just happen on its own. A sale is nice but 90% of the purchases will be more alt accounts.

No, there is not such developer. You can check roadmap. Right now it's crafting improvements, gold, port interface. Coding "many other things" and those you listed is adding new features. Now it's more critical to fix already existing ones (UI, new player experience, patrol zones), as they take much less time. Once you introduce a new feature, later you have to debug it, tune it so that it really works, then debug it some more. Sometimes you need to remove it after introducing, since it's game breaking. It's better to tune existing features first, as it's less risky and just as needed - if not more needed.
