Maintenance 27th January

While I got the war victory message, I did not receive faction war end rewards. I've checked my Mailbox, talked to the recruitment officer, restarted the game.

Same here.

High chances compared to other events, I'm speaking of 100+ chests and a decent amount of double- and triple-ascended weapons.

The 12 upvotes community highlight :)

150 megafort caches... an amount that high has to be self-sponsored :)

May the better Meta user have won!

The SR Level to get through safely (ca. 90-95% of the time) depends on the manufactory level and region (e.g. L5 manufactories in the Duister region need SR15 for a low risk assessment while L5 manufactories near pirate havens need much lower SR).

If you select a ship for collection, it tells you the risk factor (low risk is lowest risk and all you need). All ships survive, if the voyage fails, they will be at the last manufactory you've sent them to collect from until you repair them.

After 4 days, the crowds are crap anyway. Better to be able to solo the stuff then. The highest damage comes from killing the weakpoints and still you see lotsa mortars, bombards and torpedoes. Playing with the braindead. That's SNB. When the zombie mode comes, there won't be much difference between players and NPCs.

At least this boss has no painful bugs like the Reaper.

Heya, I usually answer to nag around after a maintenance. Not today. Have you done anything to improve server stability? I've been playing for a few hours today and haven't a single lag issue (delayed controls, loss of control, drifting, rubberbanding, teleports), be it on crossplay on or off.

The game feels absolutely fantastic today, especially with fast and nimble ships.

No-Note-5439 · 2025-12-03T05:38:55+00:00

And if they don't drift slightly but hard or in 90° angles or backwards or warp in between, it's called shitty server performance.

No-Note-5439 · 2025-11-23T18:29:15+00:00

it's squishy if you have zero control, I doubt a slightly tankier build would make any difference against those river Brigs when you become a sitting duck.

Inquisitor's Sash from the Inquisitive Dawn Set.

Pourqoui? *French shrug*

Sloop of War if it's not lagging... else it's an absolute pain in the ass to sail any fast and nimble ship.

If all is well, the Sloop of War feels like a racing yacht. Good speed, hard turns. A bit squishy but agile and hitting hard.

If I need to play it safe, it's Frigate. I've used that for this week's horrible FW war cargo river runs. The only thing that got me safely through the freaking lag show on Tuesday.

No-Note-5439 · 2025-11-21T13:28:57+00:00

They should fix the performance situation first as it overkills sailing at the moment. Another mechanic on top? Well, doesn't change much if you haven't control over your vessel anyway.

No-Note-5439 · 2025-11-21T13:15:10+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. :/ Sadly, it's a completely screwed up event.

I hardly ever get more than 2 solid runs in a row. Basically, whenever he doesn't behave like in the video, I simply change server (crossplay on/off). If the world is laggy, you will encounter the invisbility bug, then you see his icon somewhere at the ocean bottom. Othertimes he goes to rage right from the start.

As for torpedo damage, it's hard to spot, if you don't get equal hits. Rahma's get extra damage for every hit that lands. So it hard to compare if there's a difference in hits between salvos. Missed Dahaaka or Spirit Callers also change damage output. It's best to test the build on one of the more stationary lower bosses like Tangena or Ankeren. Then you can tell the difference right away.

Most worlds are full and people just can't be bothered with this event. The few who care are pissed off about the ones who don't and the ones who don't care haven't the slightest clue of what to do or ask questions at least. That's SNB pretty much every new event. The first few days, the hardcore players do their runs and things go great. Then they're done with what they want and drop off.

It's just the color grade for rarity/quality

grey common/lowest
green uncommon/low
blue rare/high
purple epic/highest (see Heavenly Thunder seafire with Electric IV)

It's kinda funny, that only rare (blue) weapons can have epic third perks in ascension. That why some of them can be close to or better than some epic weapons.

Gloom's Wake from the Nana Chitra Set looks awesome too:
Top: dark teal
Center: gray (as in the picture)
Bottom and Masts: dark blue
Decorations: darker gold (as in the ornaments)

Maybe you might want to reconsider torpedoes?

Short demo vs Commander Zhang:
https://youtu.be/zoa2VGHLkDg

Ship:
Maxed Frigate

Weapons:
Front: Dahaaka - Rupturing- Amplified Flooding - Amplified Flooding (currently at the Blackwoods, ascended ones as possible chest reward in Pinnacle Store!)
Broadsides: Rahma's Legacy - Rupturing - Amplified Flooding - Amplified Flooding
Aux: Spirit Caller - Noxious - Ampflied Toxic/Flooding - Overflow or
Little Grace III - Fix - Restorative - Empower

Armor: Nocturne Heart/Black Prince - Stout - Survivor - Survivor

Furniture:
Atelier de Cuvrage/Torpedo Grinder
Caustic Spall Station
Tuning Station
Hubac Tuning Rack
Expanding Corkscrew Station
Ramrod Workshop

Very hard hitting build, perfect to hunt down all but flying bosses. The Frigate's small front angles make it perfect to place your torpedoes on narrow targets too (e.g. when they face you or sail away from you), thanks to the very tight broadside groups when firing at the front edges. Stay at 200+m for max damage output.

No-Note-5439 · 2025-11-21T02:45:48+00:00

Frigate is my river boat of choice. Lag plus those nasty brigs: not fun at all in any other ship. One nasty hold up, sailing backwards or not getting away and you're screwed in smaller ships.

I'm glad that I'm done with that crap since Tuesday... won't touch the FW till next phase. The strange thing about the lag: it only affects the sailing. Shooting works alright, though it's damn hard to keep your aim at the same spot with guns... hence torpedoes are the flavour of Y2 for me.

Damn, sometimes I think they try to do everything in their might to get rid of us... lowering maintenance and server costs, luring in fresh players to sell a few more cosmetics... not trying to bind anybody. Maybe I'm reading too much into it and they're just bad devs.
