New

So I'm new here .

Whats the best boat . Maximum level ,Is there a p2w element ?, Can you achieve everything free?

Is there a point you run out of being to earn crystals without buying?

Irrelevant now open pvp has made the game unappealing to me

 

Hi,

The best boat in game is called the Destroyer of Worlds. This is the ship with the best stats. It is won through the arena system. There are many other ships that have similar stats and alternate specialisms however that are easier to acquire. The best ship does not solely define the game however as many other factors such as a players skill, consumable items and choice of improvements can also determine the outcome of a battle.

Regarding the ease of getting diamonds and in game currencies, when starting it is possible through following the quests to get enough diamonds for a good all round event ship. Beyond quests, diamonds and gold are gained from special events, bonus maps and farming in zones that are most effective for you based upon your level. It is also possible to acquire diamonds from the in game shop. You will never run out of diamonds in the aforementioned areas of game-play and be forced to purchase them through the shop.

All aspects of game play can be accessed for free. Regarding your question of a pay to win element, purchasing in game items through the cash shop provides perks and does reduce the length of time one would need to spend to get to the same point as a player who chose to play entirely a free to play route however there are many players who have achieved the highest levels in all areas of gameplay and do compete with those who choose the other method to build their avatar and ships. So to answer in short, this game is not dominated by 'pay to win' players. The premium feature in game has perks which will speed up the building process with some items each day / week and save time by enabling you to fast travel to certain areas of game play. They do not give an overall advantage however.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks, Is their a way to turn off pvp in atleast "limited" pvp areas getting repeatedly ganked by higher levels in bigger ships is not fun , when I'm trying to do other stuff. Or atleast give us pve only zones for all levels not just the first few I'm to big for the only pve zones now.

As a new player I expect to be able to learn the game , and never have to pvp unless I choose to do so, I'm 3 days in level 20 with a dhuka and feel like I've been thrown to the wolfs, "Tough luck bro you have to go into the pvp zones to level or advance, dress like a cow cause your going to be farmed with no way what so ever (that is apparent of avoiding it)"

 

I'm assuming you can launch any cannon balls with the sound breaker, Wheres all the information I keep finding new questions . . . I've searched the web most of the pirate storm wikis have little to no information, Says I have upgrades available for my abilities such as blackbeards wraith where exactly do I upgrade them?

 

Regarding your ship level and pvp; Whilst it is not possible to disable pvp it is possible to remain a lower level until you feel you are more ready to participate in pvp. Using one of the guild letters one can avoid gaining xp and as such slow the speed at which you level enabling you to remain in a zone of your choosing until you feel more confident about going into high level zones where pvp in completely open. Additionally, there is a ship called the Ahab which, when used will be less likely to draw the attention of players seeking pvp points and skulls as it does not grant them upon being sunk, unlike all other ships. It's main emphasis is as a pve ship however it is used in all spheres of the game. It does not prevent you from being sunk but will reduce the likely-hood of it.

Whilst there are f.a.q sections and information on the forums one of the major benefits to joining a guild is the information and guidance they will be able to provide. In this environment you will learn a great deal faster as you will be with people who know the game, tactics, and all aspects of the game and who will be only too happy to help you.

Regarding cannonballs, it does not matter which type of cannon you have on your ship. All cannons can fire any round of cannonball no matter the type. Cannons help determine the overall strength of the shot as does the cannonball type.

To upgrade your Captain's orders navigate to your profile window (click the top left icon in the left hand hud. One of the tabs along the top of the profile window will be for captain's orders. From this window you can upgrade them.

I hope this information is of help.

 

Edit: Disregard this post... Wedgewood beat me to it

 

Shame about the pvp part what could of been a great game I would of dropped money on is merely mediocre, that I may play from time to time , But would never dream of spending money on.

Pvp is fine till its forced.

Now I understand why the servers are small a new player simply cant enter most of the zones even when their big enough to go there.

Because if they do they will be repeatedly ganked while trying to do what they want to do , The game is literally asking people not to spend money on it by making too many zones limited/open pvp, Its a death sentence especially with the grind.

It will keep the guys you need most away new players.

So don't grind buy crystals right?

Doesn't work half of the ships cant be bought unless events , crystals don't help you with everything, crystals don't make you level 50 and the minute you enter a open pvp zone a 50 foaming at the mouth will be on you sending you back to dock , so you simply cant progress.

Such bad game design.

 

I find half the problem is players wantin to progress to quickly mate. Take your time when levelin. Avoid those experience rewarding quests and stick to earning gold in the lower levels and building your workshop and upgradin your cannons.

Find a good guild to learn from and run those guild letter 50's stopping your experience gain all together. Those limited zones are based on ship class and level. I know players who have remained in the low 20 levels for over a year, and now by taking their time, cant be attacked by the level 50 players in the limited zones and anyone close to their level who is able to attack em cant beat em. Slow and steady. That allows you to grind.

 

Sorry but I like most don't want to farm the same mobs over and over I enjoy the quests and advancing , its ridiculous that a 50 can even shoot a 21 in any zone , There should be pve only zones scattered across the levels.

Their should also be a level system you cannot engage anyone +/- 5 of your level in a pvp zone.

Open pvp like this with no limitations other then ship is silly , and punishes the newest players most.

I have looked at many threads claiming the servers are dying down less people playing , And yet its still a poor experience in pvp zones with higher levels foaming at the mouths for their free kills.

God knows how much worse it was with more players.

PvP needs reworking majorly in this game to appeal to the bigger market. You cant have a pvp game with a clear grind with no matchmaking system beyond the ship. .

Not if your goal is to grow as a game anyway.

over 30.000 free crystals in 3 days of playing and the experience as soon as I got into a open pvp zone in this game was so poor.

It just makes you want to leave not enough invested to deal with such bad mechanics.

 

if there's a safe zone in the middle of pvp maps that can accumulate players,high or low level& pvp or pve players with a large volume of npc and monster,it will easily attract players to stay there , the zone will quite fun without having any hunting/bullying with small ones(o fcourse they need a big info abt that safe map)

 

Left the game , Doesn't matter anymore this game doesn't want new players can't even remember my old log in details or really care.

 

wedgewood have you realized you answered to what ever question the player asked??
HE SAID that in pvp limited zones there are people that stayed small levels artificially and are super strong and they bully them all day long and they can not even farm.
and you answer was you stay low pve level so you farm in the protected zones
HE HAS THE PROBLEM IN THE PROTECTIVE ZONES
it is nice to have a moderator answering your questions
but at least the answer is on topic
question
i am low level and get bullied in pvp limited zones
wedgewood answer
stay low pve to be in pvp limited zones

YOU ARE INCREDIPLE

 

As was mentioned by flamingoblivion on several different threads, he was not comfortable participating in pvp at the level he was currently. If one is not comfortable with such an environment remaining in a zone that has lower traffic will enable them to learn the game prior to moving to higher zones where traffic is greater.

 

^you avoided his main point that your not safe from the utterly broken pvp system in limited pvp nevermind open pvp.

The pvp system is fundamentally broken , The devs know it , You know it , Everyone knows it.

What appears to be the fundamental aspect of this game (PvP) Is broken from just about every angle .

And needs fixing fast if you are intending to revive the servers.

 

It is not my place to participate in open discussion / opinions concerning what could be changed or should be. My role on the forums is to provide information to players and answer questions concerning gameplay as it stands currently. This section of the forums is for addressing queries players have regarding game play. You may certainly feel free to participate in open discussion regarding potential changes to the game in the correct section of the forums. both the General Feedback section and Update and Idea Pool are reserved for that.

I hope you understand.

 

Pvp is a joke anyway; once you have the rank/skulls for the large warrior cannons, there is little to no reason to advance in pvp rank. the rank rewards for ranks 8,9,10 are useless upgrades for a useless ship.
Just get your boat to the "undestroyable" plateau (improvements, weapons that won't go away) and let the sharks have their way with you, they will get bored and go hassle someone else sooner or later

 

when you get full large warrior you are already a 7 star in pvp. To get 8 star or more now is impossible in any server and it practical gives you nothing. So from pvp prospective you finish before you are full large warrior. Now you only kill people for their skulls not their pvp so you have enough to buy the stolen blood.

 

you're welcome .. i think the members had answer you ^^ ... #Day_After_Day you will have XP to be a new G.Roger .. good Luck ^^.
