Gone was the historical feel, and in came Purple Pirates and Disney. I agree, if NA even nods towards PoTBS it'll fail! By all means use PotBS as an example.... an example of NOT what to do! 2
VEYRON Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Hello all my fellow PotBS players.I hate the game anymore but it's the only AOS game that I want to play and I can't stand it. hi boris
Bart Smith Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Sorry Brits on Roberts - TS is down and we try contact provider asap
Mirones Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 yay sadly i cant get back on potbs i remember the good old times but its dont know how to say it. once you go NA you never go back :3

Bart Smith Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Everything i guess:P since they made patch nearly one year:) btw i love them a lot - no single my comment was posted since 4 months on portalus "website"...i just assuming my questions are to hard to answer...but they are "famous" from listen own players and customesr same time:)
Chilly Willy Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 yay sadly i cant get back on potbs i remember the good old times but its dont know how to say it. once you go NA you never go back :3 Yep gotta agree with you on that
Leviathan Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Same here. I uninstalled it a few weeks ago after it sat dormant since I started testing NA.
McGuinness Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Old PotbS veteran signing in here too. uninstalled it long time ago, did not even transfere char to the new publisher (beautifull Trinity gone..) Overall, NA looks like exaxtly what Potbs should have been. looking forward to the preorder tests Greetins Wastel McGuinness 1
Charles Caldwell Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Overall, NA looks like exaxtly what Potbs should have been. Before they succomed to cheap buffs, gimicks and the lure of disney pirates!
Vosper Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Havent they been posting new patch Monday for a Month or so?
thomas aagaard Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Another PotBs veteran. Was in the Beta and have been playing on and off since. They just deployed the patch and as expected messed it up. (just go to their page and you get the main idea) So I just preordered this one. (after keeping en eye on it for month)
Spankybus Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 PotBS...I spent more time in the forums of that game before it launched than I did in the game...years, even....way before SoE got involved. I made a few ships, which got me started as an artist. But the game gradually turned from the AoS simulation to an arcade-like speedboat game. Once the navigation map was added and explained, I knew it wasn't going to be the game for me. I kept making ships though...that was fun. Ships were too fast, sail evolutions were instantaneous...ships could sail straight into the wind without being blown back. My main regret was that I never got to sail my own ships lol I did see them in-game, which was cool. I just could grind my way to having the means to afford them. Liking the direction NA is going so far. 1
Bart Smith Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 And now we got "nail to the coffin": NEW ECO PATCH . I tell you what: few of players was still playing but after this "OP patch" hardly belive that more than 100 stay on both servers:P Killing economy, limit stack of materials and incrase weights of them, new partners structures (btw: 8250 Burning sea points for set of 7 structures (over 22 mil DB on current price of BSN). All this look like last try to reach our pockets before game die forever...
Hawke Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I was reading up on the new eco post and I couldn't believe it. If they had deliberately set out to kill the game, they couldn't have done a better job than what they have done with all these patches. I am absolutely confounded by their development direction, instead of working on Avcom, PVP encounters, Port Battles or even getting the basics like a new website/forum or even the bloody user content back up they instead messed with the eco which worked fairly well, introducing huge, sweeping changes with no documentation and it's completely screwed the game.
Bart Smith Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 indeed. And add to that low population game will be dead soon. So many MORE important things to fix/repair and they screw it something working fairly well so far...where is forum, user content, good os mechanics, accuracy changes and many more?
Hawke Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah, It's really very sad, POTBS was very fun to play several patches ago, it's sad to see it destroyed in this manner.
Grim DeGrim Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Hello old friends and worthy adversaries. Naval Action is looking great. To pre-order, or not. Good to see you all GRIM 1
Oneironz Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Potbs used to be a fun game to play, the portbattles were interesting and pvp gave me chills! The small team is doing way too many changes, and big ones, to the game. They are shooting in the dark hoping to score some money. I don't understand how is it still online, seriously, almost dead econ, barely any people left, deserted towns, etc, etc.
Grim DeGrim Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Aye, but give the game it's due. Was great. Is still "going" after ~7 years. Naval Action looks like something new on the horizon. Looking forward.
Oneironz Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Indeed! Potbs was a good game to begin with, and the fact that it has lasted for around 7 years, an eternity in the interwebs, means something, but on the other side, all good things once come to an end, and Potbs time is over, not now but since a few months ago. Of course, if the management was better, the fate would have been delayed a good deal, but this is strecthing it, without reason.
CJFlint Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I have not loged into POTBS in over a year, what it like now? I noticed there forums and sight are still down. Saw there was some new patches.....its been a while....kind of miss it sometimes.. Infact I havn't even been on this forum in a while I noticed there forums and sight are still down. Hows naval action been going? I gotta get back on and test. Any of you guys play assassins black flag? I been playing that one lately for my pirate fix. For sand box instant grad game its really pretty good. Worth playing.
Oneironz Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Hey Cjflint! Glad you're back! Yes, Potbs forums are still down, I highly doubt that they will ever put them back online, as a way to limit interaction with players, no patch notes, no discussion, no guides, no information, no nothing. Potbs is, unfortunately, a milking machine since Portalus took over. Meanwhile Naval Action has entered into Sea Trials, people who pre order the game become testers, although the people who already were testers do not have to pre order. I highly recomend you to pre order, it will be the cheapest buy, since the price will only get higher in the future. Besides the fact that you are supporting Gamelabs and speeding up the development process. The sea trials are basically the alpha test with a progression system, to get bigger ships. You can do both PvP and PvE. Now there are far more people, which makes up for some fun battles! Hope this gets you updated!
