ReaperZeX 1 Posted December 25, 2018 Just wondering how you all feel about wind direction?..   I've been traveling in a specific direction to get were i want to go and the wind has been in the opposite direction for almost or over an hour.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revenant 21 Posted December 25, 2018 I love it, personally. There's a trick to moving against the wind that still allows you to maintain decent speed, just need to tack back and forth. Remember that your sails move separately from the body of your ship. It's actually fairly realistic, and I like that skillful sailing can get you out of serious jams if you're better at it than your opponent.

So what happened to me is the ships weight cap is 900LBS, i had 812 and it was pretty much not moving almost at all i had to drop 100LBS to about 700 and it started moving fast >.>... 2 hours in almost the same spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revenant 21 Posted December 25, 2018 Oh, yeah. That'll get you. Good news is weight uogrades increase the amount you can have in your ship, and also decrease the effect weight has at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know having less than max by almost 100lbs would be almost incapacitating though i think that might be an issue ingame since 800/900 pretty much made it almost useless  WITH the wind in my favor that time Edited December 25, 2018 by ReaperZeX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
