Forrester~SPARTA~ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Dear Captains. It is an important announcement. As promised last Autumn - we are bringing significant changes to your vessels that will streamline and improve the experience removing a lot of pain points from ship fitting and crafting. It will also solve the problem of ships being less expensive than some upgrades.Here is what will happen.ShipsShips lose their quality levels - as it was deemed redundantAll Ships become have 1 durabilty as it should have been from the startAll captured/crafted ships are greyYou accumulate experience level sailing that particular vesselBy sailing that vessel you unlock better options for that vessel class. If you lose that vessel in battle you still have that experience and can use those unlocked better options in the future. Example - after a lot of months at sea in the surprise your surprise will surprise any fresh leda captain, if you lose that surprise you still know how to sail it well. You don't need to search or worry for rare upgrades anymore (if you have them)Upgrades Upgrades/refits are no longer craftable. Upgrades/refits lose the quality level and no longer can be lost. Upgrades/refits finally have size requirements. (large pumps can only be installed on large ships)Upgrades/refits can be received in the admiralty and/or as loot itemsUpgrades/refits are basically turned into ship skillsExample: If you have Spanish Silk Sail and a Naked angel figurehead - you won't ever lose them if you lost your shipCraftingRegional bonuses turn into refit items/blueprintsShipyards will be brought backExample: You can buy bermuda refit in bermuda, bring it to shipyards in Port Royal and refit your ship thereThese changes will make all existing ships obsolete and impossible to use due to database structure changes. As a result all ships and upgrades will be removed/deleted from the gameETA - Estimated time - within 30 days but not less than 2 weeks from this announcement.Changes will be rolled out to testbed firstAll current crafted or captured ships will be removed from the gameAll Upgrades will be removed from the gameAll Permanent upgrades will be removed from the gameShip blueprints will not change significantly so you can and are encouraged to stockpile resources and materials for ship crafting after the wipe.Apologies for all the inconvenience caused.

MH6~SPARTA~ Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Is this going to be the final wipe before release or are there still more wipes incoming? Maybe once they've finished doing wipes I will actually start playing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custard~SPARTA~ Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Is this going to be the final wipe before release or are there still more wipes incoming? Maybe once they've finished doing wipes I will actually start playing again. They are not making any assurances this is the last before the game is released and we have the final wipe. Today they made 3 posts about quite drastic changes I am not ready to start playing again just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
