Going to give this game a try for a few. Looks interesting.. Pvp Ship battles look cool. The only thing that has me worried is its a SOE subbed game..but not made by SOE...launches by SOE.

I will let you know more as I play it.

 

 

 

Play some cod4 with me and Verdant some more !

 

 

 

 

 

Craftable items are the best in game, sure they sell civilain ships but they are much lesser versions of the craftable ones. Ship upgrades can't be bought at any vendor, ammo is much cheaper to buy off players in the AH. Everything from food, ammo, ship up grades, to ships can be all craftable. There is no farming for materials, it is like RTS game when it comes to materials. Here is an overview how it all works:

 

You get 10 slots per server to build structors at free ports. These structors can be used to mine minerals, growing cops, hunt for leather, raising livestock, creating metal, wood, cloth items, black powder, weapons, ammo ect. Since you only have 10 slots you must find the market which you want to aim at, because there is only 10 slots per server (not character) for ship building you need 38 slots so its impossible for 1 player to make everything he/she needs to build a ship. It is impossible for 1 player to have everything unless he had like 4 seperate accounts...this is what drives the economy because everyone has to buy off everyone else. So to build a structor you need a deed there is 2 building that creates structor deeds they can be bought off other players or found off enemy ships but its very scarece. Some deeds are given as quest rewards in the economy turtorial to start you out. So these building also need raw materials to build which you will most likely have to buy of other players. So after you build you stuctors they start to build up labor hours...1 hour is equal to 1 hour IRL. This part I like the most because if I am not playing I am building up labor hours and there is no competing for farming....its beatiful. So if I want to get a bunch of iron...I just wait till it has 1 hour of labor and I go to the port that the Iron mine is at and generate the ore...which also cost a small amount of gold. After that I load it in my ship and take it to my base of operation. Everyone has there main base port which is where you want to have the most buildings and generate your goods at. Its time consuming if they are spread out but also if they are spread out then there is lower risk if another Nation attacks the free port. God help me and Williams if someone attacks Sissil. So you play the game while you wait for your labor hours to build up then you take 30 mins to go to your ports and gather everything you need and generate your crafted items and put them in the AH.

 

Another question is about gold...if you need all this gold to make items, build, and buy items how do you get it? Well you get it by selling items made and by doing missions or destroying enemy ships. You get 200-400 gold for destroying an enemy ship at level 12. You get 400-600 gold for completing a mission at level 12 not including what you get off ships you destory in the mission. Its easy to do a mission and walk away with 1000 gold. So you see there is enough gold to around to drive the economy...its not rare which is an adjustment I had to make coming from WoW...its no big deal speading 400-1000 gold. I already had 20,000 gold on my character at one point. Since its not hard and materials are not time consuming to generate or make usually they are at more the fair prices...like 1 limestone is only 10 gold and players more free and open to buying items.

 

Another question is about traveling...if you have ports to go to how long does it take. Well the game is realistic in traveling but not in time. This is one of the fun aspects of the game cause you travel by your boat. Here is where you move through enemies, attack them, run away from them and so forth. The speed of your ship depends on 3 factors:

1. Wind direction - you need the wind to be blowing sideways into your sails for the fastest speed. Wind direction changes a bit depending on where you are, like the wind in gulf of mexico is slighly different then the carribean islands and also by time sometimes wind is blowing in shore and 2 hours later it will be blowing away from shore.

2. Currents - currents appear on and off and give you an increase in speed and no decrease when going against the current.

3. Ships speed - based on your ship depends how fast.

 

If you have multiple ships in your dry dock and one is at one port and another is at another port you can jump to that other port that your ships in a flash, but you can only leave a port with a ship that is dock at that port.

 

So thats my overview of this game so far...I am really enjoying it, but I have yet to touch on pvp because I have not got into it as of yet still experiencing other aspects.

 

 

 

Strat just picked it up...also there doesn't seem to be a level restriction to missions from what I understand the mission takes average of levels and balances the hardness based on them kind of like CoH. So when you guys start we could have fun doing some.

 

Oh yeah I am not selling this game just providing info...do your research before you play cause I don't want ya wasting the money if you don't like it.

 

sombody could have told me it was an SoE game heh.

 

the dam launcher keeps crashing on me, i have no idea why

and even if it was possible, if the entire flag was whites greys and blacks, we only pick 1 colour, so it would be shades of the same colour... and that wouldent make a verry good flag anyway

 

 

 

Besides, colours are easily changed, question is, what Desing do you like better?

 

i like the last one ( well, the last two, they are the same with different colours )

 

 

or maybe you have other suggestions for the flag? ( this goes for everybody whos playin )

too bad its that small heh

 

i love the detailing you put in, well worn in look heh

Most of the details is gone due to size... not that you could see the stitching in-game anyways.

 

Hopefully sooner than later...

 

Would be cool to get a win.

 

 

where the hell have you been dross?   jebus man.     all we need now is ap0ck and we have a party!.

 

nah most likely he created a guy because we can add him to the friends list then he played it for like 30 mins when he was like drunk and thought it was great and posted. Then he played it for 5 mins sober and thought, "wtf was I thinking" and uninstalled...lol.

 

sounds like the last couple of times i re-subed to planetside...

i just cant find the enery go log on anymore

was kidna fun while it lasted
but the PvP being only for the endgamers sucks

 

For sure,

 

I know Strats done, I was going to venture into another game since Pirates missions and repeatable content is boring the shit out of me and from what I understand they never planned on spending money to develope that game...they will tweak it but its not changing.

'Pirates' Walking the Plank?

after seeing the same location 45 different times only renamed something else it kind of put me in a comma. so yes i am done with that pirates. I resubbed to wow for a total of 3 hours. before that was promptly cancelled. I quickly realized it was a mistake when i first logged in haha.

 

Since they went to 4 servers, been trying to get the right characters transferred to one of the four.  Going have to delete some characters for good unfortantely.

 

Cya later and maybe roads will cross in the future.

 

Keep an eye on the forums Contessa hope to see ya in other games.

 

is that a game or you talking about strat?

 

If you are talking about a game..link?

 

If you are talking about Strat...I think so..hehe

 

Can't wait for some new stuff to come out, though Tabula Rasa is good fit for now, and its exciting, fun, and fast pace.
