Sir Max Magic Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Hi Gents and @admin, seriously, cant think about a worser and more imbalanced implementation of different wind speeds - Think about 1st Rates who picked up a Wind Boost anywhere, catch a Privateer upwind... - think about Fir/Fir Speed built ships easily get catched by Live Oak/White Oak tanky ones ---> overall, just consider that this wind thing MESS up any balance with Ship Builds and different Ships because your OW Speed depends not anymore how your ship got crafted, but only who picked up the better wind boost It just cant be that Players in the SAME spot of the world have DIFFERENT wind speeds !!! Either make it so that EVERYONE in that region gets the boost...or delete the feature completly ...very simple Edited October 22, 2019 by Sir Max Magic 3

Sir Max Magic Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) ...and it is implemented in a way that you have to sail over to a gust which you discover in a certain distance to get its bonus This can be up to 85 % speed bonus !!!!! ... for a certain amount of time This way, you can bring your VICTORY easily to 40 knots OW speed for several minutes...catching everyone who hasnt picked up a wind speed because he came from a different location INSANE Edited October 22, 2019 by Sir Max Magic

While it is active you cant JOIN battles or TAG anything. As soon as you desactivate the boost, a timer of several mins should appear denying tagging or joining. Yep...that would be also a solution 2

Ofc you are right...but given what we know about how long the Devs needed to change broken mechanics in the past ...it may be much better to delete it completly until a fully fleshed out version is available
Tom Farseer Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 You know what happens once that scary 40 knot Victory is in battle with you? It becomes or normal bog standard slow as hell Victory which can't sail close hauled for it's life and you can be on your merry way. All sarcasm aside though, this is indeed a difficult situation, as other ships that are bettert suited to pursuit of lighter prey can heavily exploit this.

I agree in what you're saying. but I think it's also fair to ask that we all see the zone/trade wind "wind" or else it kinda becomes a little silly.

Miaowi Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I've yet to come home and play test Is it not the case that this adds more depth? i.e your vic example, that guy found the correct tradewind and hence a better speed. I imagine once you become familiar with the tradewinds you can eek out an advantage over folks who don't know them? Pure conjecture on my part. I need to get my hands on it so i can test
