  1. All games boys play are good for girls too. We all have equal rights now.. which is why my wife works and I stay at home playing the computer.
  2. Tried sugar cane.. and it didn't so honey specifically eh..

    Ice?

    Aight so you use it instead of salt.. Cool.. kids. Hmm..
  4. Usage To use the fishing net the player must sit down in a Chair on a ship and equip the fishing net. Per the dev stream, the ship must then be moving at a set speed, and the mini-game will start, requiring you to press a corresponding key that pops up on the screen. Completing the mini-game will yield Fish Meat and a small amount of Gold Coin History/Patch Notes Per Dev Stream 5/3/2019 They showed a new minigame to gather fish while on a ship, using a fishing net. Captains Log 28 New Tool: Fishing Net! Pleasantly pass the time at sea on long journeys, as you cast your new fishing net to satisfy your hunger and deepen your pockets! Categories: Stubs Pages with broken file links Tools https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1764365727 From the wiki.. what it actually does is demand ammo.. there is no ammo, therefore it does not work.. Someone know how this is supposed to work? Tried sugar, aka fishing bait.. No Ammo..

    Ice?

    What does ice do again? Finding it quite useless. You can put it in both the fridge sack and crewmans larder.. but it doesn't affect anything. It can be used to cool an area.. That's it really. I expected the ice fridge would be a upgrade to the salt sack.. but you can't put food into it. So is ice just a gimmick?
  6. Would prefer to see wind direction in the regions as an overlay on the atlas map, then you could see which regions would likely give you the best travel speed. Maybe something added via the sextant tree. Currently stuck in K6 for last 2 days, I need to rejuv, 3 regions from golden zone.. but it's due west and the wind always seems to be from the east..
  7. There needs to be 100% clarification in error messages when these problems occur, so people know exactly why something cannot be placed.
  8. Bad is it? Only seen one so far and it was tamed.
  9. I would suggest details in balancing. Not used torpedos in the game myself, nor seen them in videos. But I have experience with real torpedos irl. I'd make them travel only in straight lines when fired. Give them drop off, so they sink after a certain time period. Require an aiming period, to be fired. Requiring the aiming ship to slow down. Have a time delay prior to arming. So they need to be fired from outside of a minimum distance, otherwise they do no damage. Stuff like that.. torpedos are great when they work, but often miss unless they have tracking built into them. Very much a fire and forget weapon system. Damage wise, limit them to something around the damage of a small or medium cannon ball. Afterall, the amount of weight the weapon carries, there's limitations placed on the engine and distances it can be used. Alternatively, change them from an explosive warhead, to a stun charge.. perhaps to assist in taming crabs or stunning monsters of the deep, removing them from pvp gameplay completely.
  10. Should be able to cook your own potion, not goto a freeport to get one. For both ourselves and tames. And I agree either a one off respec or animal potion would be extremely useful. Although I still don't see how my Huntress has been nerfed.. she's still ferocious in a fight.
  11. This would be cool, esp if it punched you backwards through the air everytime your fired it. Outward death in one direction (no offense to the musical group) and you flying off into the nether in the other.. imagine you could point it at your feet.. you'd not need crabs then. Nor legs or feet.. for that matter.
  12. Me the rattlesnake or you? Or are you figuratively speaking What get's me, is why someone thinks a tiny rattlesnake would want to eat me? And goto the trouble of smashing down a stone wall. It's belly couldn't even hold all the meat on my body.. I find the hissing unnerving, in fact, often I am so nervous when I throw a grenade at said snake that I completely miss it, destroy my own walls and thus enable to snake to get inside my home. Perhaps I should complain about the uselessness of exploding grenades at hitting snakes..
  13. Sharks do it as well, tigers, lions, wolves to a lesser extent.. rattlesnakes especially seem to think they can smash their way in through your stone walls.. That's how much they hate you.
  14. Or at least once every 80 ingame years, forcing you to rejuvenate your ships hull as well as yourself. Maybe we should replace our ships planks as they slowly degrade over time, create a chance, that whilst out sailing at sea, a mast might snap and break or a plank might blow out.. and our ship randomly starts sinking.. That'd make life more interesting perhaps. Maybe our crew will get sick from eating the same maize, the same beets, the same turnips, day in, day out. They will demand more gold per hour whilst sick and sick days off, next time we reach port, with whoring time on top of that, to satisfy their other needs. All paid for, by me. Because it needs to be more interesting. Perhaps we need lightning in storms, to strike our ships, punching holes through the decks.. melting cannons on their racks. Maybe striking ammunition crates.. causing wide spread damage to our ships. Think of the damage a whale does.. imagine the damage 500 large exploding cannon balls would do.. I'd probably stop sailing altogether.. just row the dingy out, by myself.. smaller target, no exploding ammunitions.. no crew.. Just me against the elements.
  15. You're taking a thought as a personal attack.. a viewpoint as a violent act, against you. However, they are not, they aren't really even, directed specifically at you or anyone else. But they are observations on people, in life, in general. And if it is true, then, shouldn't you know to? Is it such a dreadful, terrible thing, for someone to tell you, what they think you might be suffering from? Are you so terrified of truth? If I was bleeding, I would welcome someone pointing this out.. if I wasn't aware. The first stage of self healing, is admittance to the truth. The first part of survival is accepting the facts. You can decide if you're actually miserable or depressed, I'm just pointing out, that in my humble opinion, that, this is what your posts and threads look like to me, I do not, intend to insult you, just pointing out truth as I see it. I apologise, if you honestly feel, that I have purposefully chosen to insult you. I would not do this to anyone. I don't call people names. I am, far more violent irl. I firmly believe that hitting a child that has done wrong is better than telling them, that they're bad. For as you point out, this is only my opinion. And they have theirs. Which enables people to act how so ever they wish, because they aren't bad people, they just have their own opinion and that makes everything okay. Think about it..
  16. I could have said, exactly the same thing, word for word.. about you. But I didn't. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, as much as pointing out, that other's have different opinions on your viewpoint. If anyone is dictating, it is you. Not I. I do not offer you innuendos, threats, abuse, insults. But You do.
  17. Hmm I think an undead with spawn from your compass everytime you use the map function and it'll cause all your crew to abandon posts and leave the ship. There will indeed be undead, but they'll run over the water from sotd ships to attack your ship directly.. even the island bases will be overrun as the undead can just walk over the seabed. And it'll probably have airships.. which drop homing mini airships Drones from above.. or maybe that's in mega patch 4. I'm also expecting an undead dungeon, likely at the bottom of a trench where only subs can go. More gated content for the mega tribes to play with. It'll probably add a homing function to torpedos. And homing sea mines.. because lets face it, we need those.
  18. I'd like to see direct line of sight on cannons, for aiming. kinda like using the large cannons manually on ships. The current aiming system with the camera floating somewhere above the cannon makes it extremely difficult to aim the thing at longer ranges. You can't really see what you're shooting at, some kind of zoom in function or overhead camera would be nice, like arty in world of tanks or something similar. Or firing down the line of the gun itself, like sighted aiming. I mostly just let ai crewmen fire now albeit in pve anyway. Given the expense of making ammo and amount of time and the weight and time it takes to move it all and load it.. it's a hell of alot of grinding, for a few minutes of fun. Least they could do is make the fun part, actually fun. That said I sank a sotd fleet, 3 reds and 2 oranges with a 2 gun schooner tonight.. that was the most fun I've had for awhile. Never seen so many balls in the air.
  19. Well the good news is that at least with point one, you can make a ticket and gms will remove the offending items.. using freeports isn't much use to people who've rejuvenated twice at least and have 3 of every ship, I'd like to get my own like settlement, but they're just too expensive. And most of the people currently owning them, just maintain.. they've already quit, even the spammers are maintaining.. because it doesn't matter how much you spam.. it won't get you past the gated content. Every flag I see has around 100k gold and noone playing. I'm usually in region for 3-4 hours looking for discoveries and most of the time, I'm the only person in the region. It's a shame, that by design, they've actually made the settlement flag system, even worse, than it was originally. I'm actually think I might quit eu pve and move to na pve.. at least there most people speak english. And no racism intended, but not being able to communicate because I can't speak some two dozen languages.. shouldnt be held against me. Games like this should have google translators built in.
  20. I like the aggressive fire. In future, deselect the weapons for 1, 2, 3, & 5. The hit R to only open the gun ports on right side. You'll move abit faster as the left side gun ports aren't open. You can also set it up so your guys using the right side guns, can also use the left side guns. Also lead the target to windward, cut your sails to about 60% then you are more agile and can dodge incoming fire etc the ai is trying to judge where you'll be, you need to not be there then the fire lands. And that spam text in the top of the scrn is turned off in advanced options. Nice video tho. I like the dreadnought like laying of roof tiles. I don't really bother with it anymore, instead I use mastercraft/legendary planks, decks etc.. and 200% resistance.. Sailing is great fun.
  21. I really don't understand it. Around your base sure or around important rare resources.. makes sense. But the entire island? Blocking off entire bays? Why? It makes the entire area look a mess, it looks awful, absolutely dreadful. spammed out pillers and foundations, randomly placed.. It just totally sets off my ADHD.. you..ffff.. uuurghh..!!! I always knock my taming pens down after use. Leaving them up, feels so ignorant and messy..
  22. Doesn't sound boring to me, it sounds like you are boring and I don't mean that as an insult. Some people just see the worst in everything/one else. And they seem to suffer 100x for it. Nothing wrong with sailing in the game, the problems with boredom, is on us. When you first play, it's all excitement and new, but after a 1000 hours.. how can it not be anything but boring. I find plenty to do on ship trips, sextant, running around ship, fishing net, flotsam whilst sailing.. shooting sharks etc.. or dolphins. We choose how we occupy our time, watching a movie etc is a choice too. But not one i'd make. What's stopping me playing, is essentially, because everyone else has already given up and yes, mostly because of the grind. It's the same in elite and several other games, it's all grinding.. slow.. boring.. been there, got the t shirt, can't be bothered anymore.. it isn't the games.. we bought them because we wanted to play them.. it's us, we're the problem. Just because you're depressed and miserable, doesn't mean, everyone else has to be as well.
