Guest Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I’ve only entered 4 patrol zones so far, every one deserted of NPCs. The last one, in one entire hour I only spotted 8 NPCs, 2 brigs I attacked, 3 fleets to strong and no other players to engage them with and the rest all the same nation, and about 37 players online too. On game release there going to be hundreds of players, maybe thousands, all vying for just these few NPCs. Seriously developers, this is going to be a major problem, even just general NPCs around the map is lacking. I know developers have added more content already but its still not enough, the cries from players to do something about this is going to become louder and louder. I also suggest that PvE to have more NPCs actively than PvP server, a whole lot more! Even the centred oceans are voided, they too should be rich in action, not period bound!

StaleMemes Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I missed that last sentence that clarified only PVE server. Edited September 3, 2018 by Capt Aerobane

Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I enter Nassau Patrol last night, this time there was enough NPCs, for me! 5 battles to get my quota. About 32 online at the same time, everyone else doing other stuff. And at the same time… If there was 332 online, that could be 32 all vying for 5 NPCs. If there was 3032 online, that could be 332 all vying for 5 NPCs. Not now but there will be frustration.

Fleets don't enter the battle in the Patrol zone, so go for it!

Last night sailed a newly craft Victory out off KPR, unboxing, was waiting for the standard medium fleets or the 3rd rate fleet to arrive, nothing for 45m. So shifted to my Santisima in George Town, there always 3x 3rd rate fleets roaming and a whole lot of medium fleets but again nothing for another 45m, gave up and went and played CE. I don't know if there was something wrong with the server, NPCs not spawning, but definitely no action (PvE server, GMT+12, 1900-2100hr). I was extremely frustrated with the lack of NPCs, as I am with your post. Edited September 5, 2018 by Guest

Don’t worry old man, if I don’t loose interest, you will see me flying a Pirate Flag. Edited September 6, 2018 by Guest
Cetric de Cornusiac Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Just bad luck. I know some people there are complaining about finding NPC ships, but like in real life, there are no guarantees. Use a search pattern to comb patrol area. (I don't have issues filling my quota if I go on patrol)
