Because is like buy the Steve McQueen car 

Not exactly. This car is a museum car, a piece of collection and not something you need to win a race with.

Just for collection a grey/green De Ruyter would have been enough indeed.

It's more like the Steve McQueen car which you only get when you run around the world and then it has the engine of a Ford Focus. Maybe still fun to sit inside but rather useless compared to other cars like this and not worth the effort. And the seller should not expect good reviews for it.

A PvP players arguing with a PVE player over the importance of ship woods and port bonuses...
 

You guys will never understand each other. Give it up. 
 

If ship wood, port bonuses and upgrades don’t matter, why was 17OM reals offered by top PvP players for a LO (s) WO (s) gold bucentaure with 55 points worth of port bonuses? (And special guns 😉)

because literally the bids were fake and people just meming to drive the price up for luls. 

 

what was the real sale price? nowhere close to what you mentioned

Would be nice to have Diana back

Lolz prizes or not, fact is the most expensive ships are Lo(s) Wo(s) ships in purple or gold and not some grey or green bermudar cedar/mahogany. We are talking about prizes of ~500.000 vs 50.000.000. If it's not a rare De Ruyter only captured by, wait for it, admirals with Lo/Wo L'Oceans with boarding books and upgrades, no one would care about. No one would sail an Implacable or a Bellona with this specs. It was just because it was a De Ruyter, the ship the devs promised us, and players tried this ship because they where expecting the promised note/permit. But hey, at least this ship was fun till it got destroyed. 🙄

Give us Diana as craftable ship, it is a shame that this nice ship is "reserved"

Maybe it's in the eye of the beholder, what's useless here? Or Captain's skills?

I had a lot of fun in green and even grey De Ruyters.

And I am sick of people constantly claiming life begins for them only when they sit on a seasoned woods 5 slot - all port boni - wonderbra.

Do remember you play on the PvE server where the AI are tuned down and you don't have to fight other players in totally rigged out ships. I had to use a decked out christian in season woods to fight the ship, so why am I getting sub par quility ships that was more like what I was in?

ELITE SHIPS SHOULD GIVE ELITE REWARDS.

You go on any other MMO and fight an elite boss you will get an elite drop for your trouble.  Not trash mods and sub par trash ships.

And this is not even going into the fact they promised it would be a craftable ship in the first place.  I been waiting years for a ship that can have two decks of 32's and when it finally gets here I can't have it in any form (I did capture one during the event that I keep.  Carg/Mahog, with no bonus or port bonus.   I can't even fight AI with it for the most part unless they are below level than me cause they will melt my ship.  So not sure what you been doing on the PvE server with Fir Fir ships.  No one is talking about the quality of the ships, we are talking about the builds and what we fought don't match what we got.

Lets not even talk about how many folks go ganked and lost good ships trying to do the event cause it was easy prey for the hunters.  I have a clan mate that lost 4 hips before he even got a ship to dorp  a note and he was going after only Diana's and SC's, but keep getting jump by parties of gankers looking for easy wounded targets.

Exactly. Picture it: you play WoW. You kill the last boss with your 25 player raid in a dungeon run which took several hours and all you got was a trash item in grey or green with trash specs. Who would do this kind of dungeons/raid again? Exactly. Nobody. Who would play WoW when it would be like this? Exactly. Nobody. But hey, GameLabs are a studio who sold 1 million copies. I mean not exactly the numbers Blizzard sold but still. But they know what's best. And Cetric is trolling, provocating and insulting members because they point this out.

 

And as you mentioned it "getting what we are fighting". Not even talking about the trash guns we often loot from AI. Fighting an elite Victory who hit and penetrade you with ease from long distance and all you got from the loot are 24pd obusier and 2 loki runes. Seriously where is the reasonable reward? Who has the time to sail one hour or two for finding the right enemy ship, risking losing your own ship and then you get no or bad reward?

 

And not even talking about the broken promise the devs made back in February. They blamed the players for not giving good reviews. Now I gave them a Steam review after they announced "no De Ruyter". And it was not a good one. I hope they are happy now.
