Do you think 2 missions every 24hours is enough for new players to level up?

You are either not playing the game or have never been to a national capital lately. 

Such posts are also a reason new players are always on the fence. So called feedback gives give complete useless info that does not correspond to reality at all and confuse others who start spreading it. Happing like real time in this topic to even people like rediii
 

Do not make statements you are not sure are true. Check first, or ask questions first and then post. Posting false information consistently will force mods to remove you posting privileges. Such posts confuse a lot of people and waste a lot of our time. As we read feedback here and pay attention.

 

Capitals provide unlimited supply of 6th rate and 7th rate missions
And if player passes the tutorials he can skip the early grind and start being useful in pvp getting doubloons in patrols in throwaway corvettes.

World is littered by lobby based dead games like Evolve, Lawbreakers, and other instant action trash. Legends was dead in a week.

Why must you say such hurtful things? Please bring legends back one day, maybe as a world of warships style game.

But that's what we got when vets kept on going there to cherry pick newer guys. "You gather all the eggs in one basket and, well... Blow up the basket."

This is the raw cruel truth and especially the reason I was, personally, against any mechanic to stuff all the chickens in one coop ( bahamas, safe zones, whatsoever). There be foxes out there. Lazy foxes.

I saw a lot of low rank kill missions in KPR yesterday evening.

@admin, thanks.

Why then you create first game experience almost the same like all theese lobby based games? Take mission, sail to mission, go back.

They didn't initially and were rather hesitant about it. People nagged and nagged to get it.

Please read it all together. Is my english that bad?

No, not at all.

Now that you prepared a readers' digest I see the bigger lines that you wish to draw.

Why not sending some small enemy ships/small fleets 6th/7th rate around capitols to get new players also an experience of hunting in OW instead of brainlessly sailing to missions? This way they can learn to tag, chase with or without wind, fight more than 1 opponent. That would make huge change when it comes to first experience of a new player. And dont worry about your rear admirals sitting in capitol zone clicking attack button. Nobody high rank is going to sit there counting the payout from 6/7th rate ships.

 

You can do it on Peace server.
On war server once you can sail a 5th rate you must move out of the parents house. And visit enemy waters. Because once 

And kill missions exist only because players demand them. But the best way to progress is to hunt in OW. Kill missions will be more assassin jobs where you are fighting elite enemies for good rewards. Remember that not all PVE missions are in.  Kill guest will be just a good starting point.

It's funny to read all the messages, but you forget that the new player does not know anything about this game.

Why not provide new players with 2 starting outpost instead of one? 1rst in the capital, and another one in a freetown of their choice? Might help getting people out of the capital area sooner.

Make Britain or Pirates starting nation, both in central good position. Give new players 1 nation change redeemable after exam only

Misunderstood your post, but few starting nation is better imo.
