Blazing Sails
Progression and Halloween update
Today we've got a nice Halloween update paired with some much MUCH (and I can not stress this enough how much this was requested) XP and item reward chests! Yes, you persistent buccaneers, it's finally here! God save the pirate queen!
Here's a rundown of what's new:
-Deathzone damage now scales the deeper you are in the zone (mostly noticeable in the final zone)
-Dual quad damage buffed and right click fire rate decreased (nerf)
-Colorized damage numbers (red for player damage, white for ship damage, purple for anti sail and yellow for headshot, green for heals)
-Bald hair cosmetic added as default cosmetic
-Killcards should now show the correct weapon
-Paint spray sound fixed
-Halloween theme and music enabled for main menu (we have now also fully automized events so each event will activate automatically in the future)
-XP and loot crate rewards re-enabled
-Loot crate opening re-enabled
-Can now open 10 or 20 chests at once
-Chest opening speed MASSIVELY improved over the old Steam system (takes pretty much 1 second to open 20 chests)
-Halloween loot crate added that gives guaranteed Halloween event cosmetics
-End game / winning screen should now show the proper rewards and no more endless loading bar
-XP unlocked items should now be visible in pirate menu
-Fixed duplicate items showing in pirate and ship cosmetics
-New weapon added: Van Healsing Crossbow
Can fire up to 6 arrows per clip. Hitting friendlies regenerates their HP over a short amount of time. Hitting enemies deals 5 damage per hit
Blue rarity
You can overheal / buff players. Regen stacks up to 30 seconds and regenerates 2 HP each .25 seconds (health regen HUD effect added)
-Small healbars added to friendly usernames when Van Healsing equiped
-Way more arrow ammo spawn amount and removed weight from arrows (they are now weightless)
See you on the seas scallywags!

A New Chapter
After a period of silence on the Blazing Sails front, we're back with some significant changes. We've been hard at work below deck, and we want to give you a rundown of what to expect from this update.
What's New?
🌊 Engine Update to 4.27: We've upgraded our game engine to version 4.27, which brings improvements and optimizations to the game.
🌐 Switch to EOS (Epic Online Services): We've set our sights beyond the horizon! Blazing Sails has shifted from a Steam-based API to EOS, Epic's Online Services. This move unlocks new possibilities for the game, including an enhanced matchmaking system, setting the course for a brighter and more dynamic future.
🌐 New Servers on AWS: Our servers are back and have been rebuilt from the ground up in Amazon's AWS infrastructure. This should provide a more stable and reliable gaming experience.
🎮 New Experimental Game Mode: Introducing a new and experimental game mode called "Gungame." Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled showdown with a unique twist.
🚫 Temporary Removals: We've made some temporary adjustments for this update. Features like the conquest game mode and 2-player ships have been temporarily disabled as we fine-tune and improve them for a future release.
We appreciate your patience and support during this transition. As we launch this update, please bear in mind that there may be some hiccups along the way. Our team is dedicated to addressing any issues that may arise.
Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks. We're eager to have you back on board to experience Blazing Sails in this new era.

Update 1.9.2.1: Many New FREE Unlockables & More UI additions!
Free Unlockables
We've added A BUNCH of FREE new unlockable cosmetics for ye olde sea dogs. All are variations of the "Longcoat Set" and include many much requested pieces. Here are a few possible combinations you can try and collect:
Improved UI
And that's not all. We've also added some sweet new UI icons and functions that should help improve communication for you and your crew.
By popular request we've also decided to hide the player levels in game. This to prevent high level players from always clustering together. In the end a game match should be fun for both new and experienced players. We realize this won't resolve this issue entirely but it should definitely help.
