Few Questions

[Taranis]

A few questions:

 

1. If I created one character on the PvE server, but can port it to other servers - what happens if i try to create another character on the other servers (different nation)?  Will this erase the first character?
2. Can my character be for one nation on one server but with a different nation on a different server?
3. If we can "SEND" a captured ship to an Outpost, then why can't we send its cargo to an outpost?  Also, why can't we send any ship to an outpost from port?
4. Is it me, or is the wind a constant?  I would be nice to have more variability to the wind speed.  Also, at times, it seems the weather and wind work differently.  Perhaps at some point they could be coordinated?
5. Is weather at the client level?  Some times I go into port for a minute - but when I come out the weather has changed dramatically.
6. Do outposts that are opened by a character carry over (along with experience) to other servers?  Given how long it takes to cross the map - it would be nice to keep one's outposts.
7. I noticed that I could jump into battles between enemy nations (eg: English vs Pirates), why can't i pick sides?  Does the battle become a three way if I jumped in?
8. Do ports produce the same goods across the servers?
9. I have redeemable ships that recently appeared - but they are listed as red - does that mean i will not get them?  What do i need to do to be able to redeem them?

1. One Character per account, its that faction on all servers (for now)

2. Not at the moment possibly with  the change later this week

3. not sure of the developer answer but you can always sail it to your outpost with all cargo then before logging teleport to the capitol outpost if you want.

4. wind speed is constant wind does a 360 rotation every 45-48 minutes i believe

5. Wind is at a local area level but not client.

6. No just your rank and experience. (unsure if crafting does.)

7. Any battle you join against pirates will put you on non pirate side unless you're a pirate.

8. unsure I'm guessing yes.

9. don't know

I have redeemable ships that recently appeared - but they are listed as red - does that mean i will not get them?  What do i need to do to be able to redeem them?

You can get them any time, just click on a ship to transfer it to the port dock

Thanks Ink.  I had tried to redeem the Pickle by double clicking - but after asking me if I was sure and I clicked "yes", nothing happened and it just disappeared from the Redeemable list.  I will try dragging and dropping instead, when i get back home.

The Pickle is not a ship, it's a blueprint.  It will be in your hold or warehouse, right click and use (I think) to "learn" how to craft a Pickle.

1. EXP/ranks are shared across the servers, however ships/gold/items/outposts are not. I think the devs said something about one way transfer from PVP 1 EU to PVP 3 EU. But only once. I don't know when that will be available.

2. I think the next patch will bring an option to have characters in other nations on different servers.

Well, maybe they will change it someday but for now there is no way to send captured ships with the cargo to the port. Also there is no way to send your ship from outpost to outpost, you have to sail it yourself.

The wind is only rotating, that's all. It has the same strenght however. Maybe it will be tweaked someday or maybe not. It's all up to devs.

The weather aspect as of right at this moment is pretty... well the weather is rubbish at the moment. It's not a true climate of carribean. The weather changes randomly and it's usually foggy or rainy.

As I wrote before, devs said something about only ONE possible FULL transfer from PVP 1 to PVP 3. But only once. Don't know when it will be available.

If you're a pirate you join the pirates, if the battle is between nations, you may choose your side. If your nation has a battle with other nation, you join your nation.

They should be, I doubt the devs would change it on each server. It's probably the same.

That red colour means that it's only reedemable once, once you redeem it you can't redeem it again. BP is a blueprint. Renommee and Niagara are the actual ships.

Added strikethrough to misinformation.

[Henry d'Esterre Darby]

I wanted to correct items 1 and 6 on Mr. Benyovszky's post immediately - there was a copy of PvP1 made onto PvP3 around a week ago - any assets, etc. that you had on PvP1 at that time were copied over to PvP3 - they now operate separately just like the rest of the servers.  There will be no character/asset transfers from PvP1 to PvP3 now or in the near future.

whoops, my bad

No worries sir, just squashing rumors.
