@LABBATS Probably yes but I joined officials watched as my guild got sucked into one of the megas then the game turned into a boring political grind fest people telling us when we could sail or when we couldn't that sort of crap. Much more fun in smaller groups but the Devs just shafted that side of the game. It really is going to be a stalemate of mega tribes bore fest

I have read the new updates and im concerned to say the least :- 1- I play with an NA clan on an NA server as a Britt just simply because I have known these guys for a good 6 years or so. These new raid times 9 hours yes I know its a long time but really its not. For instance you have Australians , Asians etc all playing without their own server they probably wont get a look in on that 9 hour window in some cases , I myself with a job and family might have an hour maybe two to do something however if you look at the time it take to gear up and sail to the enemy they just have to resist for 20 or so minutes then its safe time. Your rules are pandering to the weak , this is going to force me off that server and on to the EU might not even play the game tbh without my group this brings me to the next subject:- 2-State of war and war tokens. Currently myself and a a few small guilds got picked on my the largest mega , we were running skirmishes for a few days sneaking about breaking the odd thing now all that is ruined you have signed the death bell for any small groups because of the "war token crap" this now allows the huge megas to get all their alliance members into the attacked server at the right time and max out the population so attackers cant even join guess you didn't think of that did you? Please stop pandering to people complaining about PVP lets have a hardcore server for the real pvpers :- 1- No land claims 2- no raid windows or token crap 3- Everything is lawless So we can get back to having fun and PVP ing without PVE rules shoved down our throats. I have played many EA titles , many PVP games but this new ruleset nope not going to do it sorry

"The next aspect we’d like to tackle and include in this March update is defense against ‘offline raiding’. This is something that has often been echoed around the community as being a critical problem with the game. Players are unable to enjoy PvP versus one another because the meta encourages/enables offline raiding through how easy and effective it is. Our plan is to introduce game mechanics which will funnel PvP taking place during online hours and the overall objective is to provide players more power and defensive options over their land. " The problem right here is some groups have well over 1k players Not everyone (me included) plays on prime time some people do night shifts odd shifts etc in rela life , some have families Land is already very defensive if your a big company with enough gold crew puckels and mortars if this is handled incorrectly it will crush every small group out there. Not everyone wants to be in a mega its a game not a damn slaving simulator please handle this carefully

Nope nope and nope I have to solo for now due to RL commitments , as a solo player you have to specialise in ship building as far as schooner , base building up to stone then points left for survival , that leaves the only raid weapon you can produce is yes you guessed it oil and flame arrow for wooden structures , it also gives you a slight ability to take on larger groups if they gank you by sneaking into port armed with a few grenades to catch them un aware. If you ask for those to be nerfed or removed your basically removing any chance a solo or small group has defending itself or raiding small structures. Stop being lazy get NPC on puckle guns and defend your harbours better , if they are swimming in build gatesa and build down , have one channel in and out covered by guns

FYI running Nvidia 1060

since patch my game Hung now it loads up with the error every time and I cant play:- Low level fatal error File H:\YarkupdateLiveReal_SHADERS D3D device lost (error 0x887A0006-HUNG

This is also causing me to not be able to finish boats as they require wood ceilings

Since last patch I cannot create "wood ceilings" only thatch

Yes I was very discreet not mentioning country of origin but it might be the same people doing us over last night with a teleporting horse swivel cart

Cart + swivel + AI is shooting like a damn machine gun. Got players from distant lands charging round on these lagging everywhere with it spam killing everyone it really ruins the game play. Please re think swivels being mobile

Fighting a naked today shot him with a gun did 0 damage , every hit with a sword did 1hp damage yet he was able to hit me with black ack for 20 odd damage a go

Ok so boarding friendly ships absolutely fine however when we were attacked by our friends from the east any attempt to board the ship via ladder , grappling hook or jumping ship to ship catapulted me to the bottom of the sea.

We just got swarmed by those people everyone complains about they flooded our server with 200 people which forced our defenders out of the server and into freeports. It was impossible to defend as guns would not reload due to lag There is also some weird bug that's being abused where as a naked they take 1 damage from melle or guns Fix the damn stability so we can defend ourselves and limit the ping

Ok so if you want to use 1 handed sword and shield you have to dump 3 sets of points into circular slice ability …. Circular slice does not work with shield equipped so why would you make players take that skill when they are obviously trying to improve their shield block it makes no sense or is this ability bugged?

I don't normally whine but the latest patch has ruined gunplay , if its doing too much damage in PvP then don't let it affect killing monsters . You toned down animal aggression but halved gun damage so the game is now a dull grind on average 8 bullets to kill a crock seriously with those reload times its just boring. Wolves used to be a headshot when they are running at you ow its 3 minimum. Gunplay used to be fun now its dull , seriously these nerf are all in the wrong direction

I have it caught on video an enemy straying too close to the neighbour he gets sunk in literally 1 salvo so get a treasure map get gold sink a ghost ship get crew its easy ok read the post Im saying watch the stream not instigate a fight Again read the post cannon towers have 0 range you need mortars for those Use ships fro max range not towers leaving un defended ships is dumb Mechanics are there use them

Poster if you really knew how to play the game & had access to a Galleon you would know leaving AI on cannons facing the sea absoloutly wrecks anything that comes near , if there were gaps in you defence then its your fault not the games. Our neighbour has repelled many attacks offline. Go watch a Chinese stream they literally have galleons and AI covering their bases . Stop calling for nerfs it will affect balance too much

If you were offline how do you know they used fire arrows? I totally agree smaller clans need fire arrows because they may not have access to cannons , ships etc there needs to be some risk for raiders that decided to leave the ships in shallows and bombard helpless clans

Ok so Dev kits for modding are coming out whoever creates a Faction based Lord of the rings MOD would be a legend. Imagine a helms deep scenario , player defence VS Trolls (in the place of bears) draggin the cannons up to the siege , Nazgul instead of dragons , orcs , goblins , humans , elves as players. Would be pretty epic.

after the big fight I had last night and won I now know why shields are slow, its all working as intended

We also just took the island they tried to incurse on to stage their invasion , our clan is only 15 - 20 ish at best . I suggest you join a decent PVP guild. The Chinese were all naked zerging apart from the officers they were easy to drop their ping is so high they cant fight effectively unless they re on a boat or are using the AI on a boat , simply board one and light it up

bugs in starship troopers did just fine

I agree +1 I like a challenge If it doesn't work adapt change don't whine for nerfs . Its a survival game its supposed to be brutal man up lady up or go play a nintendo

NA PVP has been chugging since yesterday can you please restart the servers thank you

Bullcrap , we repelled a raid by Ctsg then another tribe wrecked their ship when they were fleeing we have not seen them since
