Great now the stone walls cost is absurd and you made them easier to break down.

Surely that will help people engage in online PvP and not just offline raiding, right? haha

With every patch I lose faith in this game.

For some reason we had a bear spinning while it was bolaed effectively having a 360 degree cleave with a lot of damage. Never had that happen before this patch. Sure was a fun experience....

Grapeshot, some balance please. I want to fight with weaponry other than fire arrows.

Not to mention fire arrows improve bows drastically...

Fire arrows are stupid and kill the usability of any other weapon in this game, especially now with gun damage nerfed.

Fire arrows are ruining PvP both on land and sea.

The biggest problem in PvP is not the damage of melee, but the fact that it makes your character stop in animation to perform a melee attack. That will NEVER be viable if all the ranged can just outrun you even while they are reloading.

It is impossible to catch someone with a melee attack if they are kiting you. This needs to be changed, we need to be able to swing while moving or melee will never be viable.

Check again buddy the plank costs are there it was only slightly reduced.

Yes and ships require many planks to build, which effectively means all ship costs but the Galleon were reduced.

Your math is terrible. First off, why are you basing sales on max CONCURRENT users? This does not even slightly represent how much they earned. You need to look at the amount of people that purchased the game. 500k -1 million according to steamspy, obviously not very accurate.

Then you forgot to account that they will sell cosmetics even before the game is out of EA (PCGamer article and possibly other sources/interviews).

40,000 is per continent server (eg. EU PVP) not per grid.

Incorrect:

The only real reduction was a schooner.

That's just the frame.... the plank costs were reduced. All (fully built) ships should be cheaper except for Galleon.

Yeah I agree, I don't see their place.  They are op on ships too.  I don't think someone should be able to come sink your ships before you even have a chance to respond.  Why can't we get a warning when a ship or wall is being attacked so we can have a chance to defend it as well?

Yeah, that is definitely a big part of the problem as well. Ships should be sunk by cannons, not by naked guys entering your base in the middle of the night with fire arrows. Such low effort for so much potential damage.

Honestly wouldn't mind if fire arrows were just gone from the game for good. Zero fun to fight with or against. Even after the nerfs the most optimal way to pvp is still naked with fire arrows. Stupid.

Conan exiles had that and I think it worked really well.

This change is stupid beyond comprehension. Guns didn't deserve a nerf in the first place.

Agreed, way too bright.

Please, fire arrows were ridiculous, you could 1-2 shot people no matter the armor, alpha animals (something you're not supposed to kill easily) took like 3 arrows at most not to mention you could sink ships incredibly easy and fast.

Only cannons should be able to sink ships. Fire arrows need another purpose, at most they should be used to burn down sails when it comes to ship damage. Too strong even with the nerf.

Agreed, this needs to be toned down. Ships are too fragile in general, but to be taken down effortlessly with just a few fire arrows or even just metal tools is absurd.
