Duels are available in patch 1.3!
Go have some risk-free PvP, then come back and tell me what you think!

You can start a duel by right clicking a player and choosing avatar or ship duel.

You can also issue a challenge by using the following commands:
"/sduel <character name>" will challenge that character to a ship duel.
"/aduel <character name>" will challenge that character to an avatar duel.

Gavin Irby has recently picked up his desk in the Content Department and relocated to DesignCo.

His first Devlog as a Designer talks about Group Conquest Missions, and you can read it by visiting this link!

Enjoy, won't you?

Exchange shops are new in 1.3! They replace wonky turn-in missions for Marks of Victory and other things... you can read more about the details in Anna's devlog here and Isildur's devlog here.

Once you've had a chance to use some of these shops, let me know what you think. Are you satisfied with the transaction choices? Do any of them seem imbalanced/unfair? Is there anything about the UI you'd change?

In fact, yes, we can do that! Mike just checked in a change so if you right-click an the icon you'll get that more information option. When we go live, you should see it

We thought we had all the chat focus stuff fixed in 1.2, but it turns out there was a really weird bug that we had missed. Mike fixed it for this sprint and it should be better in 1.3, but if you still see problems you can submit a support ticket or post in this thread here.

(I'll also see what I can do about getting that fix it mentioned in the release notes.)

As FLS's representative on what ships are and are not being accepted for the game, I believe we've already responded clearly: the Santissima Trinidad is not appropriate for PotBS. As others have mentioned, one can always build a model of her, but we would rather see the community's efforts go towards ships we can actually use.

Since I've already responded to the original suggestion, and since this thread seems to be edging toward a flame war (not that I believe it's intentional), I'm going to close this thread.

Again, we're looking for ships with fewer than 50 guns, which were built and used in European-controlled waters between 1660-1740. The 3DSC will gladly consider and provide advice on projects that fit within these criteria. Larger ships, or ships outside of this time frame, are simply "for fun."

Thanks for collecting all of that, ArmEagle!! The only thing I want to add is about the icons. The circle-slash icon is for missions you can't take a group on ("solo only"). The hand is for RP missions and there's a separate icon for epic missions like Bey's Retreat. I'm not satisfied with the solo only or RP icons, so you'll likely see those improved soon.
