I'll wake u up for the summer summit

Thanks guys, as mentioned we're just waiting for a spot in our release schedule for this change. I'll buy our release manager a drink this weekend and see what we can do. Only half kidding.

It is a lighter update week, for sure. The team is really excited about the Summer Summit because we'll be able to talk about some things that we haven't been able to yet on that livestream. This includes our designs for future content and also communicating plans for our content roadmap. I will make the team aware that COX changes and the TOA changes are high priority for you. :)

Very soon, hopefully today

Keep an eye out for our socials this afternoon, and during the Summit! We'll be running some cool giveaways so you might just grab one :D

It's on the radar, we are aware and have been discussing it! Typically Combat Achievements are added a while after the launch of a piece of content though so I don't have a date that I can share with you yet.

As soon as there's a lot in the schedule for us to launch it, we will get it out to you! We're currently waiting for a gap in the launch schedule. We have a finite amount of testing time and generally projects take priority over QoL poll content. For example, DMM is coming up quite soon so that will take priority for our testers. It's possible to launcch the week after DMM, but we can't promise it. Hope that helps!

This will be something we chat to the team about tomorrow, will see if there is any flexibility we can have.

So happy to hear that! Thank you for being involved through this process and we would welcome any further feedback that you have for the team in the dedicated survey at the end of this post. :)

I am so happy you're optimistic and engaging with us on this. I totally agree that an Open Beta will be vital for ensuring that the community is happy with the skill. To be honest, there is really nothing quite like a beta in terms of feedback gathering. Betas allow you to get your hands on the content and gives us THE best quality of feedback to make changes.

We can't work on development for an Open Beta unless the skill passes 'lock-in'. The overall process was explained in this video from Mod Ayiza. Our reasoning is that we require the community approval before we invest valuable development time/resource, as pa...

There will be a bunch of ways to level up the skill, as outlined in Core Gameplay blog as it's important that every type of player can feel engaged. Unfortunately, building ship upgrades is considered Construction (not Sailing XP), but check out the secondary training methods listed as well as Ship Combat to see if they appeal more to you. We're not sure which secondary activities will make their way to launch of the skill but we'll try to include as many as we can!

Yes, the cannonballs would be separate from the Dwarf Multi Cannon - we didn't want to indirectly buff it as we don't feel it needs buffing currently.

We've discussed this in the Discord Stage call for Rewards and at present we're not looking to make changes to the Dwarf Multi Cannon. It's already really strong and we didn't feel like a buff to it was entirely necessary to be honest. There's also some lore reasons that we discussed which justify that stance, to do with Dwarven cannons not being suitable for the types of cannons you'd find on Ships made by humans.

Yes, I think it would be weird not to, however I think this is something we've decided to look at if the skill passes 'lock-in'. Unfortunately as it's so early in the design process we didn't have the info yet on what that pet would look like, we've made some suggestions in the Office but not had a proper decision yet! Also curious to know how much info players want about it, or how much should be kept a mystery!

Not a problem at all, we've committed to running a community-voted/player design compertition if Sailing passes 'lock-in' for the cape aesthetics! :)
