Noted Aqua, slow time will be fixed up.  Disconnects should be improved with the patch as well, although for different players of different regions, disconnect might happen once in a while.  Daylight saving time should be abolished by the US government...  That one is out of our control...

Community Events / Cogs First Week - Week 0

« on: March 17, 2013, 10:32:29 am »

Hi everyone,
Thanks for playing yesterday.  Firstly, sorry for the slow time, and sorry to Carnage for not being able to stream the Merry vs Gents match.  It was truly amazing, and I was the only person who got to spectate.  Really sorry about that.  Next week, that issue will be fixed. 

All the matches (except for Pasta vs Museosaurs, where Muse got wiped out), were close and intense.  I ref'ed the Merry and Gents match, and it was one of the most intense and brilliant matches I've ever seen.  Both sides fought insanely well, and it was sort of too bad that there had to be 1 winner.  Also, with slow time and a couple of players disconnecting, the teams showed incredible sportsmanship and waited and pulled back when the refs asked them to or voluntarily.  That was really nice. 

I later saw the Paddling vs Crows match, and another tactical and highly competitive match.  It was pretty awesome to watch. 

I still haven't seen the Muse stream, and, in fear of what qwerty would say, I might never watch it, hahahaha. 

This is just week 0, and I for one am really excited to see what week 1 would bring, with no slowtime  

Thanks again everyone and hope you all had fun!  Happy Sunday, Bubbles

Hey guys, with Smollett in Boston, and Queso and Meta going for sure, we can find a place to all hang out. 

@Smollett, let me know which place you have in mind, otherwise, I can start making reservations to some place. 

If you guys show, drinks are on me (I hope I don't go broke from this...)

See you guys at Pax!

And I lobby for better seeding!  But then again, I have no credibility, hehehe.

Jess, by the way, we're calling Cogs "Scrimmage," not league.  For future reference.  Thanks!

Alright alright, thanks for pointing out that I'm an idiot.  I was going on over 24hrs without sleep.  So the galleon, my favorite ship, the one I take into battle everyday, does have 3 port side guns.  Hmmm!  Hahaha.  It's true, pyra can get 3 guns, but I would still argue that the junker is much easier, given that it's pretty easy to turn.  Pyra takes more coordination to get 3 guns on a ship in my opinion.  But what do I know, I'm not the greatest combat pilot around. 
I agree that pyra takes more coordination, but I still contend that it's easier on new players, or the new players may need to learn not to equip flak or even hwacha on front, or if hwacha, bring heavy.  But I guess both ships are good.  I definitely wouldn't recommend a new player bringing squid, junker, spire, or galleon into battle.

Greetings everyone!  Making a guest appearance on the forum  
And I want to just chime in from my own point of view, as a player (an average pilot).
On the junker, I'm a bit torn, as I feel that in certain situations, it's pretty awesome.  And if I'm not totally retarded, it's the 1 ship that can get 3 guns on a target at the same time.   But the slowness of speed does limit it in mid to short range combat. 

On the pyra, I'm unofficially making a claim that it is the easiest ship for new players, so I'm not surprised at all that it is more in use at the moment.  However, I agree with Pickle and Zill in that it is far from OP.  I still prefer my galleon, but I just need to bribe Ataris, Vasylko, CFG, or Rethburn to crew with me as my gunner.  I'm not too picky.
