However, I have news you will all be happy with. Besides the spawn table changes I mentioned that will greatly help the pirate players, I've added a full 3 minutes to the "Deter Fleet" encounter objective timer. This should make it much easier to avoid having to fight the 6 extra ships. That particular change won't show up in the next patch, but will show up when we roll out the new content we've been working on.

Run Them Down still debuffs speed on the OS.

No. They modify the same stat, but they do not provide the same thing.

How is taking less damage useless?

That's bad, and creates a whole host of problems. If a skill combination is the only reason to use a ship, then anyone who doesn't have that skill combination is screwed. If the ships are worth using and then someone has that skill combination on top, then it just becomes broken. Two skills should not determine the ability to use an entire line of ships.

That's correct. As I read the question, it pertained to the FT use of the skills and not general use of the consumables. The consumables will explain their effect sometime (might be in 1.2).

Battle Preparations is slated for change in the next pass.

This is a global bug, and it's somewhat problematic to fix. I could do the patchwork fix, but it has bad implications. I want to get a general code fix for this situation.

Unfortunately, if it was that simple it'd already be there. It's something we intend to address, though.

Useless may be a strong word here, but I think you'll be satisfied when you see the replacement and you won't lose functionality. I never had any use for it because I had better ways to achieve the same goal.

Most debuffs already didn't stack. Typically, we let you apply the debuff but it didn't really do anything. Now, you're prevented from using the skill if it's not going to have an effect.

The Triton is getting replaced with a ship that's almost identical.


There are many buffs that aren't listed in this devlog for all careers.

No. The grief is why the skill recharge isn't getting reduced, and not why the speed-accel change was made.

10%

The devlog is just a sample of the changes. There are quite a few not listed.

No change in this build. Drink and the Devil is getting quite a bit of use from players who are buffing their max morale.

Please eat your paper pirate hat on a podcast. The sailing characteristics of the Minerva are identical to the sailing characteristics of the Triton. The only stats that are changing are the ones that are related to the model - i.e. the gun distribution.

Again, this devlog does not cover all of the changes in 1.2.

What defense changes for pirates? They gained defense overall. Privateers are the ones who lost defense through the Unpredictability line, but they also gained some in other areas.

Overall, you can stack more debuffs than you could before. Many debuffs were conflicting and not stacking properly when they should, which made some completely ineffective. Now, debuffs should stack unless they're pure speed debuffs. You can stack mixed debuffs with speed debuffs.


Yes, it will have the same sailing capacity.

They have a 30 minute reset timer and a 5 minute shared cooldown. You can use an expert every 5 minutes if you want to cycle through them.

I'd say "appeal" here, though you're welcome to submit variants on your original too. Possibly getting you the best of both worlds.

Perhaps we made a mistake publishing a devlog about the plans we have for the next major update BEFORE we published that update. You haven't yet seen whether what we're doing is working - you don't have the build with "what we're doing" yet. Until then, the GMs are playing whack-a-mole and we're all in vehement agreement that's not cutting it.

At this time there is no plan to do so.

The experience gained from recipes is intended to be a small, supplemental, bonus, not a primary experience source.

Actually, I'm full of snot as my cold is developing into bronchitis...which is neither here nor there.

The whole point is to consolidate your feedback into one place. The devs do want to see your feedback, both good and bad. Putting it all in one place instead of countless threads with bickering doesn't give the team the feedback they need. Yes, y'all might all be repeating the same information, displeasure and whatnot. The simple fact is that it does way more benefit to have it in one place than tons of threads spread out the entire forum.

Hopefully, that helps clarify.

Right click on your desktop Go to your NVidia control panel. Go to Manage 3d settings, and set antialiasing- Mode to 'off'.

Well, part of the problem is that we don't have a 'whenever on whatever server' vision for number of PvP zones. PvP zone creation is something that we have deliberately left in the hands of the players. So there isn't a definite "there should be 12 PvP zones at all times on all servers" answer, because that depends a lot on what the population on that server is doing.

I'll see what we can do about getting you some more hard answers for what we're going to do about this problem.

I absolutely agree 100%.
