Some really good work here! Just noticing two things:

The above flags use the wrong Union Flag in the canton (upper left) corner. They will be sent back as anhistorical, as is. Make them match the 3rd and they can be accepted for the game.

Also, remember that when covering large areas of a sail with your decal, you'll need to make the design significantly transparent. Try an opacity of 50-70%. The Frisian sail looks to be about 90% opaque.

Otherwise you're solidly on course

Merged a couple threads together so you have one place to showcase all your wife's work, rather than making a new thread for each item

However, I'd encourage everyone to vote their conscience when going through User Content. "Please vote for mine!" doesn't apply here -- simply vote on which of the two flags or sails you think is best for the game.

Feedback is sent via email, so check your spam filters and forum/Sony Station settings. If you didn't receive an email, please file a support request.

Meanwhile, I checked, and you should have received something that contains the following feedback:

I've taken the liberty of doing just that for you and filling all the partially opaque areas with green, placed beneath your flag image. This kind of glitch really does get noticed when animated much more easily than in a static image: the human brain is hard-wired to take note of motion, AND to tune out visual "static" that doesn't fit into whatever pattern it thinks it's being presented. Luckily, we have some folks on staff with sharp eyes

Hope this helps -- and if you decide to rework your flag based on the feedback sent to you, please consider withdrawing your appeal. And incidentally, this IS a fantastic design and otherwise perfect

I moved your post and FlaSeaDog's reply from the "Questions About Appeals" thread. This is the better place for it

We have community voting on User Content because there is simply too much to process individually in a timely manner. Voting helps get great flags into the game very quickly (at times within a day). It also helps get flags that still need work back to the submitter, so they can improve.

As FlaSeaDog says, processing time has gone down from a month or more to well under a week now. The system works extremely well, from this perspective.

Hello all,

We do encourage people to discuss and even debate almost whatever they wish. As long as people do not break the PotBS Community Rules, you can discuss your thoughts on the game.

However, if you do want to respond to a post where folks have expressed frustration or dissatisfaction, you should also be following the PotBS Community Rules.

Specifically, these rules:

-No Flaming
While debate and discussion are encouraged, we will not tolerate rude or insulting posts, personal attacks or inflammatory posts of any kind.

-No Trolling
Posting in a thread for the sole purpose of harassing a user or derailing / hijacking a thread topic is not allowed.

Appears to be up now.

We're fixing the invites in 1.5 (which we're working on right now).

Your thoughts are welcome, in the following thread: http://www.burningsea.com/forums/sho...158#post373158

The entire Pirates of the Burning Sea dev team have spent quite a bit of time evaluating customer feedback in order to identify ways to clarify our vision on several subjects, the direction of PvP being one of the most important subjects.

Lead Designer Kevin 'Isildur' Maginn has posted a new Devlog titled Ambush Gameplay, allowing our customers insight into what happens next, while offering definitive information on our feelings towards the act of 'ganking' in Pirates of the Burning Sea.
