Guest Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 On 3/26/2019 at 5:20 AM, Sir Loorkon said: That is wrong. We had this. Easy access to ships will not at all change the mind set of the ships captain. People that want to fight will fight in any ship, people that do not want to fight (or learn to) will run in every ship. It does not matter if the ship is rare or not. Or what could have been wrong was the “interpretation” of less pvp from "easy access" to sustainable ships! (in simple terms, there could have been another (major) reason for a lack of pvp).

I completely agree with what you say ... but above all on this point ... it is extremely difficult to build ships and get woods ... even poor woods like sabicu / caguarian / mahogany Edited March 28, 2019 by Fumadrago

Aquillas Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Yesterday evening, I found a very exceptional situation. I met a player out of the patrol zone! The guy immediately took the necessary corrective action, he went to the closest ports and hid in. Probably afraid of my Lynx. Lynx is OP. Please nerf or prevent use by another lottery screen!

As a result all standard resources changed positions in those counties As a result, All buildings were wiped, to avoid confusion with inability to produce resources if the resource has moved. Group missions are back. Number of enemies reduced, rewards slightly rebalanced Hunt and Search missions are rebalanced. As they are encouraging player to hunt in the open world they now provide combat medals for their fulfillment. Tutorial exams now have short descriptions Trader snow is now available from NPC ship traders Delivery missions rewards and distances adjusted Short but somewhat profitable missions added in all ports so captains unlucky in PvP can quickly recover losses by fulfilling orders from the admiralty Letter delivery replaced with cargo delivery Delivery missions now mostly grant Reals (and occasionally doubloons) Crafting rebalanced Redundant levels abandoned - game now has only 8 levels Thresholds changed XP rewards for crafting ships changed. BR difference which determines if battle is equal or not is slightly increased (from 10% to 13%) so battles like endymion vs indefatigable are considered equal.

All buildings in the former Free Towns, all buildings in the counties, where the former Free Towns are added, or simple just all buildings in the whole map? Edited March 28, 2019 by Malcolm3
Petrel_ Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Happy to see the progress but wondering if we get some compensation for the buildings in order to have chance to test the economy otherwise it will be difficult for many players i guess.

Aquillas Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Can we find somewhere an updated list of towns and counties?

Why i already see Enemy ships in R zones and they ignore me and i ignore them... i play on Peace server.😁 Well casuals/PvE players may quit the game or go to Peace server Edited March 28, 2019 by Lovec1990 1
jodgi Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 3 minutes ago, Licinio Chiavari said: But the part I quoted: what does it mean? Thank you. The more DPS a ship can output (# guns x reload) the bigger the magazines and risk of explosion is tied to magazine size? Along those lines...? 2

But the part I quoted: what does it mean? Thank you. ship powder can explode. strength of explosion previously depended on weight of ships Now ship explosion depends on volume of powder taking into account the guns the ship can carry. 42lb gun needs more powder. So ships with heavier guns (even lighter ships) will have bigger explosions. 6

So crafters get shafted once more? Level 3 shipyards aren’t cheap and you took away a easy source of them for crafted with the missions changes. Think I’m just going to wait for release. Tired of grinding stupid stuff out. If your going to wipe stuff than do it properly. And still no proper map reset that is needed? Going have to see how much numbers drop now therr is no longer any gank free zones. Guess we all can go to level up over on the peace server since crafting

This change will bring new salt and toxicity to the game., chats will again be full of players complaining that they have been attacked just outside the capital! I can live with this, indeed being very lazy I will go back to sit at the dock to wait for the enemies comfortably, but how many new players will be frustrated in the first weeks of play? For the sake of the game do not delete the reinforcement zones, instead make them available only to new players, make sure they can "acclimatize" to the pvp server, it is not fun to be sunk without having understood how the game works! As always for the success of your / our game! 5

I've no problem with the removal of reinforcements, which were useless anyway (not used by new players, not the best mechanism for vets). But I failed to understand what "necessary precautions" players have to take for preparing. Make relax exercises?
