why? is the dlc conected to mods?

not directly its how mod is designed couplec with unique sail design. My testing with pirate rig showed that requin is bad in sailing with the wind

I'll shed some tears then: if we added a premium (imported) ship with a speed mod that is only usably by this ship and gives around 5% speed boost. Would you say this is a game breaking mechanic? 

perhaps but maybe they should look at mod first?

 

Requin is popular if we go by how much im seing them so so why nerf a ship that is selling good?

Bottom line is that none of the old 6th rates are any use at all now.  That is an issue

 Meanwhile in the world cup Germany are out.

 

Don't mention ze var!

 

I don't care what happens with the dlc ships,  as long as they keep the servers on.  The ship dlc's though need an advantage i guess so people buy them to combat others with them or to increase E-penis.

 What devs need to do now is introduce another ship better than the first 2 on dlc, and the $$$ will flow. 

I won't buy them though tbh.

There should be multiple kings of shallow waters - we promised to fix it this week (+2 days of National Constitution day)

Thank-you.  I would truly miss the fun of sailing and fighting different ships.  All the 6th rates should have something which makes them unique and valuable to specific player styles.  Some prefer the maneuverability of the Snow while others want the heavy punch of the Niagara or the high speed of the Prince.

I would say be happy people are pumping money into the game and enjoying themselves.

The only nerf I would make is to make it redeemable once a week rather than every 24 hours.

If it was ever finished you so should release that "outlaw" paint for the Heavy Rattler...I know shameless plug for return of paints.  Ok well by this week I'm going to assume by next week since this one is pretty much almost half over and we still haven't gotten the Econ Hotfix added.

Regarding the the german sub forum: both ships could have been shit ships and people would still have bought them in order to support the game (they are even more happy about the dock expansion). I bet when gamelabs would place a donate dlc people would use that as well.

Probably only if people can show others how much they donated 😛

eg

$10 - "lvl 1" badge nex to the name / or blue name

$25 - "lvl 2" badge next to the name / or purple name

$50 - "lvl 3" badge next to the name / or red name

...

A specialized title for your name might be fun and mimic history to some degree - Order of the Bath, Baron,, Lord, etc. 

That said, that's a whole different thread.  Back to La  Requin. 

[Tiedemann]

I was willing to pay for the ship because of the speed capability. As long as they don't nerf the speed on it, I will not complain.

Just make it the most fragile ship in the game. Mast made of toothpicks with paper thick  broadside armour. Spec it like the Lynx..   

[Raf Van Boom]

Whoa, I got the ship specifically because I want to just spawn it every day if needed. It's so liberating to not have to go through this crafting crap.

Then what’s the point in them ? They have just added them as dlc and paid at that you can’t remove them from basically the only content this game has, I get there “op”   And all that but who buys a DLC item that’s limited to what it can do, that’s just stupidity on the devs side well even more so then having dlc ships to start with, plus pay your money you get them to other wise to bad how sad you can’t limit them like that, but as admin said they are working on some sort of balance for them

Your crazy to say that PBs are the only content, when we are lucky to see one pb a day. Patrols and OW pvp are the bread and butter of this game. Both of these let you use these op ships to kick ass. I sunk a bellona with my Le Requin today 1v1.

PB = game content 

 

OW = player created content 

 

the only content that the game has is PB’s regardless you can’t limit them from any game content especially as you have to pay for them

I really wish the Requin’s and Herc’s roles could have been balanced before they were made available as DLC. It will be hard for them to be nerfed now which leaves the choice of Pay to Win or strengthening some 6th rates to the point where they are an unnatural threat to the 5ths. And the power creep would have to keep flowing on down.

Just keep the requin out of PB ... that's all.

Are pbs still a thing? I thought nobody is doing them right now because of other reasons?

Read the comment I quoted and then ask him what you asked me.

yes because premium content shall be premium or it won't sell. And if DLCs will not sell, this game will die for lack content and lack of resources for developments of more content.

Nerf to death now premium ships already bought by players and you will never sell another premium ship.

Is it really so diffucult to understand?

Moreover: they are asking for a premium ship the price o a couple of beer in a cheap pub and the (remaining) playerbase of this game is made mostly of adult people, so what's the point of all that jazz about P2W?

PS: Please NOTE that I did not buy niether the hercules nor the requin, so I'm not defending my personal interests here.

Premium should never related with overpowered/overperforming.

Balance sometimes also means that the other ships get a buff.

Le Requin is an unique ship, it will sell because how different it is to all others.

 

Ok mate, go on repeating your slogans then, but at least do not complain or whine if the game will die for the lack of new content.
