    SERIOUS PROBLEMS

    the game click to select ship and space to start fire needs serious code re write
    has the developers spent 10 min in the game???
    seriously???
    i am fed up i click to select a ship and i move there
    i have select it but sometimes double click or hitting space does not start shooting
    so many arenas games and battlegrounds lost because the ship simple did not start shooting

    in pirate dominion if the enemies are in port it is impossible to click to enter
    because you simple choose a ship

    when you want to move the ship selects ships
    when you want to select a ship the ship moves

    REALLY FIX IT

    you know it is impossible to click the specific 1 pixel you have to select a ship
    but when you want to move somehow where ever you click you select a ship

    maybe when you press ctr and click that will move the ship to that space ignoring the target
    that will solve some problems

    ALSO
    trying to click to a ship to select is nightmare because the select area is small

    Can i have an option to have 2d graphics in the game??
    you can keep your silly 3d aspect of the game it offers nothing to the gameplay
    most users have turned down all the graphics and effects to make it possible to play

    give me a 2d graphics option
    that will make it easier to click to a ship to click to an area

    now with this lol 3d look we can do nothing
    you want to click the gladiator a bigger ship and you end up clicking the pirnha in front of it
    really?? do something about that or give us an option for 2d graphics
    if you can not offer a playable game in 3d then give us a good 2d

    and it is not only me many people will agree that the click select mooves has serious problems and it is not workign as it should work in the game

    as far as this weeks bf, all u would have to do is use ur arrow keys and pan ur map u will notice that the ships disappear then u clik where u want to go(into circle ) then hit letter C ( on keypad to recenter ship)
    before complaining about somethings, learn how they work 1st is my suggestion
     
  3. I agry with brutality but. If it's possible when you hover cursor over the ship you don't have to press the mouse to select.It should automatikly mark with red or green target mark.

    well maybe you have 26 inc screen monitor i play in a laptop
    i do not know how good mouse you ahve a have the cheapest i could find
    these 2 can serious effect the game
    where i see something tiny you see it huge
    gee my screen is so small i can not see all my visibility area
    and when i mention something in the form is not something i have personal experienced but i talk to other peopel and i find to have similar problems
    and it is not only battlegrounds it is in arena and in farming
    click to select a ship and i move
    i want to move it selects something
    i press space to fire it not starts to fire

    these 3 is not faced by me but also from many other users
    which make the game irritating and frustrating and in the end you stop it
     
  5. About the "space bar" not firing....
    You will find that it occurs after clicking on something in the bottom panel. If you click in global again your space bar will work. So if you click on a CO and then try to fire with the space bar it will fail. Would be nice to fix that. Would require a bit of programming to work around some natural behaviors of the windows environment relating to keyboard focus but it is certainly possible.
    I do like the idea of a ctrl-click option though for moving and not selecting. Leaving regular click to works as it does now and just adding that would be nice.

    well in arena i am invisible i click the ship and hit space and it is not firing also
    also now i see that i had problems putting captain orders from keyboard
    also in bonus maps i just leave the ship standing click and shoot
    after 4-5 shots the space stops working and you need to move the boat to make it shoot

    for the screen size i use 15" screen on my laptop
    (suggestion for u go to full screen on ur browser) if ur browser doesnt allow this then i would suggest maxthon ( it is free cloud gaming browser and it works wonderfully with piratestorm if u download it( at bottom next to speakers u will see full screen( several players with bad eyes and small screens have switched to this browser and it makes huge difference, to exit full screen hover at top in middle and drop down wil allow u to go back to normal screen view
    hope this helps,
    also dont assume that 1 might play on best stuff , there are ways to make it beeter just got to ask

    also my laptop do not have a graphic card but the one come with the intel processor so the power at graphics is a bit limited when i bought the laptop i did not have in mind to play piratestorm with it for all the others things i want it to do it is okey
    but for piratestorm is lucking
    i tried full screen in many browsers only to see the game lagging horrible

    the best so far for me is opera with everything switch off that almost gives me the whole screen to have for the game

    i only say when someone is having problems some people with superior machines say i see none
    because they do not experience it does not mean it is not there

    neither does mine
     
  10. Every time you select something from the bottom set of icons (and perhaps other actions as well) you will see the problem recur. Just clicking a ship does not resolve the problem, you have to click water/move. I've gotten so used to it I barely notice, until I get sunk from a slow response :)
    It is about keyboard focus in general not the space bar specifically, which is why you CO problems as well.

    you know arena starts
    i put invisible
    i move
    i press space not fire
    so what about moving first??

    sometimes its works
    sometimes its not
    and i have not yet see why it behaves thats way
     

  12. And that will always be a problem with gaming. There is always a cutoff where the designers have to choose user experience vs. CPU/GPU performance limitations. Some games require truly high performance computers to play, some like this just need medium performance. But that does leave out some potential players. You seem to be at the edge which is a very frustrating way to play.

    besides my machine
    as you say there is much to be done with keyboard and mouse response

    personal i would like a 2d option of the game
    that will make clicking much easier
    this pseudo 3d is so annoying with ships overlapping its other
    ships hiding the tower in lodos battlegrounds not matter your position in the map
    so this silly pseudo 3d causes much problems
    an option from the player prospective for 2d would make the game lighter for people with older machines but solve some silly issues right now

    me ship tower
    i always click the ship
    ship tower me
    i still click the ship because of the silly 3d

    even if we say that could work in real life it would only have worked in case one
    in case 2 tower would hide the ship and not the ship the tower

    there can be some improvements in the game
    1) more proper select of target
    2)better move /select when you click to do what you want
    most of the time now it does the opposite
    i want to move it selects a ship
    i try to select a ship it keeps moving
    it is so frustrating in arena and in battleground

    this makes me just to stop playing
