I'm on Exaciutioners [sic] Rock.
My ship is in a bad way, Mast 6/16 Sail 6/17.
I try to make repairs. The game says that the repairs were successful.
But my ship stats remain the same -- Mast 6/16 Sail 6/17.

I have experienced this as well... Says repairs were made, but canvas and timber were not used and mast and sail damage remained the same HTC one 4.4 normal

Also I have noticed that commissions don't expire during the time it takes to either repair or hunt for resources.

I have taken two tickets from this
- Commissions don't expire during Repair / Gather. #AOP-2380
- Repair is not fixing sails / masts. #AOP-2381

If you have a commission that you need to go to a port, it does not expire at all just as long as you don't go to another port. I use this to my advantage by doing all the deep sea commissions first then going to port last. Not sure if you still get paid upon completion as I never check.

I use this to my advantage by doing all the deep sea commissions first then going to port last. Not sure if you still get paid upon completion as I never check. 1. You still get paid. 2. This isn't what we are talking about at all. Our problem is that doing things on the beach doesn't advance the clock. So you land there, spend 87 days repairing your ship (which does nothing) and your Commission due in 25 days is still due in 25 days. Not 'expired and you had better go there first' -- your 25 days are still there. |

Grävling, I know it is not the same but posted anyway just in case there is a general issue with expiry dates. The fact that you can complete commissions long after expiry dates should not happen. They should expire and reputation lost. I look on it as a nice bug that has a positive effect. The deep sea commissions you have to be on time for though.

As long as you get to the deep sea commissions before you get to a port, yes, they can be on your screen as expired and you still get full credit for them. Indeed, it is only when you leave a port that 'did any of these fail' is calculated. Which makes making them expire when they are stated to a bit hard for Cory and Fallen to calculate ... unless I have really badly misunderstood things ... |

Maybe I should explain in more detail.
You get a commission to go to the docks in a port. You're given 78 days to go there. You can travel around the map for as long as you like and freely complete the commission well after the expiry date just as long as you don't go to a friendly port.
Deep sea commissions seem to work differently. I have failed them whilst travelling to them or forgotten about them.
If there is an expiry date for a commission, doesn't it make it redundant if you can just take your time and go after that date, complete the commission and still be paid? Shouldn't the rules be when you do get to a friendly port, you automatically fail the commission rathed than having the chance to complete it first?
Hope that clarifies matters.

It's very illuminating, in that my experience is different. I have never, ever, failed a commission except when leaving a port. Whether the port is freindly or unfriendly doesn't matter -- if the time of day as calculated when you leave is after something is due, you get the missed commission message. I've never received on on the open seas. I've arrived roughly 100 days late to deep sea commissions and still got paid. Wonder what we have different that makes such a difference? |

You posted a screenshot on one of your threads and I noticed our UI is different as well.
I am certain I have failed deep sea commissions whilst travelling because I changed tactics to completing them first.
I have looked on the commissions page after a commission has expired and it does say you need to go to the port in question and not return to a FRIENDLY port first. Because you can complete the commission after expiry date, it makes me feel there is no rush to get back and complete it.
I think you're right in saying that if you go to any port, friendly or not, commissions expire. I will need to investigate and confirm first though.

I have lost many deep sea commissions whilst out at sea, aye, it does happen. For me, stopping at any port, be it friendly or otherwise, will cause a commission to be failed. Hope this helps.
