Lucia_Pixel The Exclusive Ship offers aren't visible in the Portal version of the game, but if I switch to the Android app they are there.

What's the reason of discrimination of players with level 945+ with Extra special pack?

Also, preliminary data shows, what Exclusive ships won't scale with player level (beyond intended era, so 1-slotter max player level is 140). If this is a case indeed, I will be HUGELY disappointed. As, I believe, will many high level players who'd love to have 1-2-3-slotter with somewhat useful stats. It would be especially sad because I know for the fact, what PF DO HAVE a tech for it and in a very distant past used to make Vintage Offers right:

The description above is effed up. The Yuan Gu Hai is the merchant ship for level 945.

Scaled indeed. I don't know what it's numbers were, but my Windsor Castle was so small it got relegated to the museum (which says something considering the size of some I still keep around).

Speaking of which, I noticed just now this game is taking serious objection to the continued presence of La Pensée in my active fleet. All three of my baby ships are in my harbor now, but look:

Anyone know why its labels are all in red?

pixel_player21102398

pixel_prayer666 nice sailing vessel!

Those r my highest bc all the others one were out inside the museum before all this exploration and 1,000 gems event nonsense came out.

Looking to purchase this one soon enough bc I don’t have any sailing vessels worth a lick that I can compete with.

368 vessels in the museum and I only get 400k gold every 24 hours! Ludicrous! Plus we all know the old museum upgrade slot system was different from what they have now where you can put
four of any slot ship per museum upgrade level.
(Yes we know)

The game developers shire are getting lazy these days! This new sailing vessel they have released takes up six slots and only offers 7500 sailors.
Looks like the golden days of releasing sailing vessels are gone now! Event sailing vessels don’t do justice and merchant ships no longer appear every five levels.

This is a list of Event ships worth getting:

The one that got away:

Old timers from the early days

pixel_player979355845 Anyone know why its labels are all in red?

The game wants to tell you, you have a ship with bigger cargo capacity in your drydock and swap out LaPense for it.

pixel_player21102398

pixel_player979355845 Don’t put it in the museum! Utter nonsense I tell you.

It is very useful for the 1,000 gem competition event. (Which I don’t have bc game developers refuse to let older players pull the ships out of the museum for players that have been playing this game since of first driven came out years ago)!!!!!

Redline_Diesel

Thanks. I thought that might be it, but that would be true for all three of these ships. I guess they target the very smallest. They don't know these are my Market Town task ships and the object is low cargo capacity.

Sigh. Once upon a time, Vindex was the jewel of my exploration fleet.

pixel_player979355845

pixel_player21102398 It is very useful for the 1,000 gem competition event.

Gotta love an optimist. I had to hunt to see what competition you were talking about. I think of this as the 5 gem event, though I often reach 10, too. I think the highest I ever got was 50.

pixel_player979355845

I don't see PF Pixel in my game. Do players not all get the same event ship scroll?

I already have Bratislava.

My Snowball is in the museum too, but fully upgraded.

MazdaMan

PF Pixel is an exploration ship constructed in celebration of Seaport's sixth birthday. All players, at all levels, who were playing at that time had the opportunity to own one. (levelled)

pixel_player979355845

Does it seem like the current Global task is moving up the progress bar a lot faster than normal?

pixel_player979355845

Oh, thanks. I misunderstood the original post. I was looking under the Event tab in the ship list for the current event.

Well, duh. I do have a Pixel. What threw me off is that mine is only 2500 crew. I knew I didn't have one at 3500. But it all makes sense now, as an award ship it would have been scaled down to my level.

pixel_prayer666

Egg A serious reply from staff would be nice.

You won't get any. PF not only lost knowledge what makes Vintage Offer's fun, they also forgot how to communicate with players.

It's really, really shame though. 1-, 2- and 3-slotters have amazing looks, I would be thrilled to use them in my fleet, but oh well. Another great opportunity lost, but not the first one and I'm 100% sure not the last one.

pixel_player979355845

pixel_prayer666

IMO, that isn't fair. There is a PF staffer who has been replying here lately to a lot of problems and questions. I don't play any other game where the developer even bothers supporting a proper forum anymore, let alone having employees who monitor it and post updates.

pixel_prayer666

pixel_player979355845 IMO, that isn't fair. There is a PF staffer who has been replying here lately to a lot of problems and questions.

You must be new there then. Or I'm playing this game for far too long. Once upon the time we had a proper 2-way communication here and discussed not only bugs and issues, but also design changes. And by "discussed" I mean "discussed", not "leave comments under announcements no one really bothers to answer".

So, no, it's completely fair. I'm still pretty sure we won't get any comments regarding useless Exclusive Offer. Surprise me, PF.

The ships at least look nice, but that's about it. I, for one, have no use for a 1slot with 120 crew / 73 cargo. Jarle or Loris certainly have, but that's another story.
Scaled to level, I wouldn't hesitate, but I'm not gonna pay good gems for a ship that would've been nice to have two or more years ago.

pixel_player979355845

Redline_Diesel

They should at least make sure the offered ships are comparable to or better than the biggest capacity ship already in the game for a given number of dock slots. A one slot ship should have max capacity of better than 2100-2200 to be tempting. (Those are my biggest but I bet there are players with even better ones.) One one slot ship with capacity of 73 or 92 might look good to someone who just started playing, but not for anybody who's leveled up a bit.

pixel_player979355845

Is anyone else having issues with the Global port Achievements?

I had mine up to two stripes with two of the three pentagons underneath filled. I finished the goal, watched an ad to collect double doubloons. I was expecting it to go to the next level, two stripes with one star, which is where the three event commodity achievements ended. Instead, I noticed this morning that achievement was back to one stripe and one star. Is this normal?

I did think that was awfully early to finish that achievement and the last level usually gives more gems but it seems odd to move backwards in rank rather than continuing thru the higher ranks.

pixel_prayer666

In case someone from PF genuine interested in high-level perspective on this Exclusive offer / Vintage offer.

We want new 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-slotters relevant to our level. Why? Because we still use them (shocker, I know). I'd buy literally all of them, if they stats (cargo/slot, obviously) were somehow relevant. Hell, I'd buy 1-slotter even with 3k capacity, not need to scale it up to current standard of 5.5k! Yes, its A LOT of gems, but I don't care because I need exactly one of each of them and in this regard this offer was perfect. Or rather COULD BE perfect. It's so missed opportunity, it hurts 🙁
I won't buy 6-slotter in Exclusive Offer because so late in 6-slotter era I just don't need another 27K cargo vessel. Not for the gems, anyway. Vintage Offers ships should have slightly inflated stats, that's what made them so appealing in the past.
