That is a different matter altogether. You should file a detailed support ticket for this problem.

There's no innate difference between allies and enemies. As far as ships go, I can't even distinguish between the two. Any changes should show up as status effects on the individual ships. There definitely should not be a global difference in their ability to take and receive damage.

This is one of the harder missions. It's one of the only ones I can remember replaying to beat.

It's not atypical to have friendly ships at lower level than enemy ships. If there's a particular mission where an escort target can't survive, then file a report on that mission.

No. Structure and armor should be the same for all ships unless they're flagged as elite (semi-rare boss spawns, not typical enemies).

There was a small improvement to NPC damage and accuracy between end of beta and pre-boarding launch. There has not been any change since.

There's no such feature. If that's happening, it's a bug.

Note that missions do not used a fixed set of ship spawns. They pull ships from random tables that have a small range, so you won't get the same opponents every time. It has no relation to your character.

You're past the intended life of that ship. FTs/Pirates/Privateers can get a better fallback ship at that level. Navy will later, but right now their 3rd fallback is set too high since the base ship received a level reduction.

That shouldn't be the case.

You don't need to damage sails to grapple NPC ships. Take +grappling attack gear and force them into the wind to get them under six knots and you can board them quite rapidly. Get used to it and you can drop the +grappling gear.

NPCs receive no global speed buff. Any speed increases they have should show on their effects list from skills.


Are you talking about two different characters? Because if not, you're attributing way too much value to character level. Ship level is what matters more here, not character level. Effectively, you were a level 8 trying to take out 2 levels 12s and a level 8. That's probably two Cutters/Heavy Ketches and another Bermuda. That's an extremely difficult fight.


NPCs do less damage than players. NPCs do not reload faster than players.

As Raymond said, that shouldn't happen. If you see it, screenshot it and file a bug report.

What Envoy said. The details are the key. The ship the enemy is using is very important. Generalizations won't help much.

Shouldn't happen.

Please submit a ticket. Thanks!

CutlassJack, can you provide a specific example? Not just the name of the mission, but also which elements seem to be scaling up? Are the NPCs level 17 instead of level 8? Which ships are the NPCs using? Specific details will save us a lot of time tracking down what you're seeing.

Can you post a client log? You can find them in "My Documents\Pirates of the Burning Sea\log"

Also, do file a support ticket for this issue.

Interesting. FYI, we finally got Nvidia finally set up with the biuld and they're looking at it now.

We are hoping to get that in in the near future.

On January 16th, the Pirates of the Burning Sea development team celebrated our impending launch by throwing a party for 200 of our closest friends, family and fans.

Our friends at PotBS Vault have published some pictures and two articles talking about their time with us. You can check them out by visiting this link!

Congrats Flying Lab Software, we did it!

Enjoy, won't you?
