I don't even know what to say about that.

Heya gang,

You all know the forum rules. If you want to discuss or debate the original topic but please stop picking on each other.

All your opinions are valid and we do want to see them, truly. However, as you all know when threads tumble into bickering, it's less constructive.

You should look in the User Content area of the forums. There are all sorts of stickies and helpful threads to get you started. Good luck!

Yeah, that's crazy, especially if you're doing it to get respecs and only respecs. Here's my plan:

* I'll adjust the drop rate of pennons vs. everything else -- sounds like hulks are dropping too frequently, as well.
* I'll also adjust the cost of respecs so they're comparable to other careers
* And it sounds like there need to be more interesting options throughout the pennon turn-ins.

Skill tooltips are auto-generated, so a skill that doesn't last as long as it claims has one of two things happening:

* Bug
* The skill actually applies two effects, and shows a duration for the wrong one. This is a really irritating side effect of the auto-generation of tooltips. I've asked for a fix for it, but as it's not actually causing the servers to catch on fire, it's pretty low priority.

That would be you.

"An upcoming 1.1 patch." Not the first 1.1 build.

You are such a bad person.

Hey! It was great talking to you at GenCon; nice to hear from you again. All press inquiries are handled by the community team, so if you PM Aether he can answer your questions, or if it's specifically a question for me, he can give you my contact info. That is, if your intentions are as innocuous as you say.

Hello all,

Actually, we have said many things about this topic before. A forum search in the archived older forums will find a plethora of FLS responses.

I'll give you an example from Aether:

I'll repeat this once again for the benefit of some of our newer community members: While the storyline for Pirates of the Burning Sea takes place in the Age of Sail, our version of history will differ in many ways. Slavery and sexism will never be features in our game for very obvious reasons, and frankly, it is beyond bizarre that people would expect such things in our modern times.

I invite anyone with further questions to do a forum search on the subject in order to find the myriad of official responses to any argument you may have to the contrary.

Best,
Aether

Whilst one may agree or disagree with the historical accuracy of civil war history, our game forum isn't the place to discuss it.
