Catch the new update 1.0.16.3102:

• Earl Access's paint must now always be delivered to the warehouse (if the player is on base) or to the ship (if the player is at sea).
  
• Fixed a bug where the hull material incorrectly affected the boat's speed limit.

• Players in the base are no longer shown "flying" to others who are outside the base.

We on the Age of Water development team constantly strive to improve the game, paying special attention to fixing errors based on your feedback. Thank you very much for your numerous messages, which have helped us identify many errors and balance issues.


Veteran Earl Access's Bandana

Veteran Earl Access's Colours

You can find the paint and the bandanna in the hold of your ship.

We carefully analyze statistics and feedback to create an engaging game that meets your expectations, and we are now ready to share with you our plans for further improving Age of Water and news about fixes that have been implemented recently.
Many players prefer using cannons in the game, so we've decided to slightly reduce their stats for the sake of balance. We want other weapons in the game to be in demand as well. For example, we believe that machine guns should become more effective, as well as grenade launchers and shotguns. Additionally, we plan to rework the energy consumption of weapons in the game.
In the latest updates, we have already reduced the recoil that hulls received from enemy hits. However, their scope still shakes when the player is hit: many have complained about the inconvenience caused by it, and we plan to balance this aspect in the game.
The current map navigation system does not always provide convenient orientation, although we have worked on improving it in recent updates, especially for gamepads. Nevertheless, we have decided to make additional changes.
We want players to find necessary resources or locations more easily, so we need to make the map more readable and informative. We will add various icons for different resources and objects (e.g., mines or loot on the water surface) to provide a clearer and more diverse display of various game elements on the map.
We continue to monitor cases where enemies may not spawn or quest items may be missing in specified locations. We will keep fixing these types of errors.
There are several variations of top-tier "battles" in the game. We want to make them more diverse and interesting: add more challenging opponents, slightly increase the duration of such battles to make playing both solo and in a squad more enjoyable.
We will also add the option to disable notifications about the start of PvP events to prevent these messages from distracting players from completing tasks.
We have already rebalanced the cost of some buildings in the base and will continue to work in this direction. It may be necessary to reduce the amount of resources required for construction. We also plan to change the cost of crafting at the base, but this will require further analysis of how these changes will impact the economy.
Currently, there is an imbalance in obtaining medallions in PvP missions like "Convoy" and "Mangrove Pearl”. Therefore, we are reviewing the reward system to ensure balance.
By the way, we have increased the loot pickup radius for top rank ships to simplify the resource collection for more experienced players who need much more loot than beginners.
We are making efforts to fix bugs that occur in the game. Some players report that sometimes the item crafting process can get stuck, and after restarting the game, the item remains uncrafted, but resources are still spent. Over the past few updates, we have fixed similar issues, so if you are still facing such problems, please let us know and provide as much information as possible.

Thank you for your interest in Age of Water! We sincerely thank you for actively participating in the life of the game and for your feedback, which helps it evolve further. Keep sharing bug reports, impressions, and suggestions with us — and we will continue to work on making the game better. Happy sailing!

Become a real sea wolf in Age of Water!

Captains, during the last 2 weeks we’ve released 5 updates for Age of Water, where we’ve paid special attention to fixes and improvements based on your feedback from Steam, social networks, and in-game messages. Thank you for your active participation in Age of Water!

As players were progressing through Age of Water, they were researching new weapon types and unlocking crew skills. And with each next level, the desire to change the choice they made earlier for each character was likely to grow.

So we’ve added an option for this. You need a Smith’s Neutralizer that can me bought in the store at the base. How does it work? After buying it, go to the “Crew” tab, choose a character and press the “Reset” button, then reassign skill points as you like.


How much time have you spent in the sea, disassembling weak armor and low level machine guns that have outlived their usefulness and were just eating up space in your hull? We’ve seen your messages about how tedious it is to go through each item separately. Now you can highlight several items at once to send them to the disassembly queue and get resources.

Imagine how sad it is to forget your belongings in the hull of your previous ship as you switch to a new one after boarding it! We’ve seen several messages from players who lost all their items, having forgotten to put them onto their new ship.
Now after capturing a ship, all your items will be carefully put in a drifting chest that you’ll be able to collect.


Here are some more improvements related to the sinking of your ship:

• now all post offices are respawn points: this way you’ll be able to reach the place where your ship was sunk faster and reclaim lost cargo;
  
• lost cargo chest can be bought for corks from one of the traders at the Three Whales or on the Tirpitz;

One of the most popular requests from players that has received the highest priority from the developers is a system for sharing experience and loot after a battle. Sometimes you kept attacking an enemy just to see some passer-by finish them off and receive all the experience and loot.
Justice has been served! Part of experience, medallions, and loot for sunk enemies can now be received by the players who damaged them. And we’ll keep improving rewards for team play.
We’ve also adjusted battle scenario delays! It means that enemy spawns have been slowed down and now feel more organic. And there will be less cases where enemies spawn in the same place after a battle.
Let’s list other fixes that are meant to make leveling up and crafting easier:

• the amount of resources gained from excavations and defeating enemies has been increased to make progress more comfortable;
  
• the number of mining points in locations where you can farm resources has been increased;
  
• an error that caused the crafting progress on the player’s base to continue while displaying as being canceled in the IU has been fixed;
  
• crafting on the base now correctly continues even if the player is offline.

We also try to make the gameplay as comfortable as possible, so we’ve replaced emojis with more useful ones and added an option to disable music on the base. After all, constantly listening to an out of tune guitar can ruin the mood and distract from serious tasks :)

We’d like to thank all of our active players who send bug reports, helping us to find problems in the game. We carefully consider each one of your messages and do everything we can to make the game more stable and enjoyable for you.
Soon we’ll tell you what other improvements and fixes the developers are working on right now!

Dear players, on May 22nd, from 11:00 UTC, scheduled technical work will be carried out on the game servers. During this time, access to the game may be limited. The approximate time for the work is 1 hour.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused
