Used to play back in the day, decided to hop back in and I’m a little overwhelmed. I understand the new layout of the servers and the objectives, skins, and other bells and whistles.

There’s at least one class I’m not familiar with - Sergeants. Don’t remember these guys at all but what exactly is their purpose or role? I haven’t seen more than a couple in the matches I’ve played so far.

Gameplay feels better than ever, loving all the weapon skins and such. I miss all the Sharpe references.

as a 92nd higherlander officer screaming at to get up on the fucking roof, can anyone have any tips on being a good officer?

Im about to crack top 50 in officer class, and probably top 25 soon after. i remember there used to be some recognition for it, is there anything now?

I have really gotten into the Rifleman class lately (I started playing two weeks ago).

Was just wondering if any veterans of the class could give me some advice on how to effectively play them.

Just what the title says. Everyone talks about the great, wholesome community here. The rampant anti-semitic slurring in game for no reason other than "laughs" is anything but. You're not funny. It's a detriment to the game that it's so rampant, and unchallenged. I play with the mics off because I'm here to have fun, not deal with juvenile racist assholes.

I get that you're trying to be helpful, and it can be during naval engagements where you're on a small ship and not everyone can be on their own cannon, but usually it just annoys me.

First of all, when someone does this for me I initially assume they're trying to steal my cannon which just puts me on edge. Second, I get into a flow state whenever I'm using a cannon and can immediately pickup my own cannonball and load it myself, somebody else doing it for me saves maybe like a second at most and just isn't necessary. Also they just load round shot 100% of the time without asking me if I want to switch to another shot type, so sometimes I'm stuck using that even if I'm in range for chain shot and want to use it, so I have to tell the guy to stop loading round shot for me and now I come across as rude.

It's especially irksome when the person doing it is a sailor or surgeon or something and could be doing something way more useful instead like fixing the ship or healing people. Just my little rant

Do musicians buff in naval battles? I’ve noticed that I never see any buff icons in both the naval and coastal siege matches. Is there a point to playing musicians besides RP in the naval combat mode?
