Sir Texas Sir

Allainces hurt a lot of little clans that wanted to fight, but the big PvE guys that wanted to be carebears would all ways out vote them so nothing got resolved. People forget you don't have to follow the normal with every one else. We seen this all ready on PvP Global with the French clans are a bit split and it's kinda been a civil war that they are torn in several directions on there nation actions. In US this could still be done, Clans not loyal to the British can still show up to fight. They could of screen the British that came to screen the pirates. Though that would of been useless cause the US that did make it into the PB didn't even try to fight us. They made a deal with another nation they are at war with and are loosing regions like hot cakes to that nation. Pirates took one for a reason to teach them something and will more than likely give it back at some day. So who was the true evil in all this? That is why they are loosing so many players this week to other nations cause the small guys are so sick of the same big clans doing the same crap over and over. I would love to have seen many of these US players stayed and had a means to boot the big idiot clan out of power, but the game really doesn't give them that mechanics to do so and well if players aren't willing to unit for a common cause than you will never see a change any way. It's one of the lovely things about the new Pirate vs Pirates fights. We had a rebellion in Nation just as US was attacking us and they where siding with US. All the clans and clanless united to push out the US supporters out of pirates (they are now Brits as they followed there US buddies and we are pretty sure the one pirate still left who he's alt of). Other nations don't have this option and it's been nice to use it to police our own.

Not sure who you are as you only have two post and I can't find just a Trouble in game for US. So let me inform you something since you prob are one of those guys that sit in ports or hide behind a none in game screen name. Every time hostility has been brought up at Key West Region or in the Bahamas (see it wasn't just one spot) and I'm talking about after we had port battles in those two regions was a combine clan thing. I saw NPG, IGG, DD, BSR, MARS (which is an econ clan). Out there doing agro so don't give me it's a one clan that doing rogue stuff. DD is still very much US last I checked and they love to do shallow water stuff and it's expected, but you are wrong as I see and sunk just about some one from every one of the US clans out there and a few new clans that seem like just small one or two guys clans. This is all after VCO and TF left to go to Brits so you can't even blame it on them for your own nations actions. We keep telling them to stop poking us are we will do something big and we did. Than once we did the attack we made a post to let US know our intentions and actions. IF you played on PvP2 any bit you can still go back and look at the post there and find out we do exactly that every time our clan does an operation so there is no misassumptions of what we are doing. One thing is we are not planing to ONE PORT US. Yes we took one port, but ya'll still have plenty of others to actually defend, but by the words in the winds we heard that Ya'll traded Bermuda for NO with the Brits and than offered all the Gulf of Mexico if they come screen and they failed at that. So shouldn't you be looking at those making these deals as the true traitors in your nation? You don't see those guys running off to other nations and they been the biggest problems for you nation since I was in US over a year ago. When we held Castries cause we didn't have any silver cause US held our silver ports in the shallows I offered to fill any buy contracts from the French that put them up. I had so much silver it was actually a good way to make extra money and not have to haul all of it back to Kidd's. So while we can't do contracts in enemy ports any more you can make deals with traders and get things from them. US has never been one ported so they don't know the feeling of such, but every other nation has been including Pirates and British. Maybe it's time for them to get close to that and get a reality check they are no longer the top dogs of the server any more. There is way bigger threats than say Pirates or Eastern nations on the server. We do that to KPR and it's the biggest nation on the game and it doesn't stop us. Though how do you know what we do or don't do? Last I checked your British man. Why you so worried about US any way? I think I would be more worried about your own nations actions. Last I checked they are the ones that are taking US ports not the Pirates. We only took one port....that is not a zerg or one porting any one. Than again any time Pirates take one port the US/GB think we are about to zerg the map of all there ports.

San Mateo has coal, that is why we didn't take that region it had a major econ resources they needed and it's a lineship port but why would we take something closer to the keys for PvP hunting instead of closer to there capital? They didn't have silver or gold any way with all the ports they had before VCO and TF left so that doesn't matter, but they could get them through other means. While I have a gold mine I gotten just about all my silver for Furnishings from either my stone mines or iron mines not from any one else. So it's not like they are hurting on both silver and gold. Now the woods you can use a trader and go in and buy the woods with an nice escort. I been doing this since day one with places like Grand Turk (British at the time) to get my Teak. There own capital regions provides them with Live Oak so they aren't short on that. Well unless some greedy player keeps buying it all and marks the prices up insanely which I'm told when folks compare our prices in Pirates to the other nationals ya'll mark every thign up insanely and than flood the market with resources so the buy price is 1 and locks it out for folks to make decent money. These guys have no clue how to do economics and are every man out for them selves. Some of those guys are sitting on over 100 Conquest Marks so don't give me that crap that you can't build ships. They can and they have them. Many of the defectors that switched to PIrates confirmed that many guys are sitting on a lot of Marks. Remember they CM system started when they attacked Key's and they had gotten how many regions after that? 6 regions with one being a 3 pointer (NO) so that is 8 points a day some folks can make. It's been over a month since that patch dropped that changed to the CM. Lets say times that by 30. That is over 240 conquest marks one player that made it to every port battle could have. Now lets times that by 25. That is over 6000 conquest marks. The permit for the 1st rate is going to cost about 30 CM's so a few guys get the BP's and you have what? 200 1st rates. Lets cut that in half and say VCO and TF took half those slots. that is now 100 1st rates they could of crafted. So don't give me that crap they couldn't build them. Why is it hard to do missions? Come out to your mission look around with your group to make sure no bad guys are around. Join missing and wait a bit before you engage the AI. Mission gets locked than you do the mission in safety that no one will join you. If you can't patrol your own captial waters and protect your own guys than the problem goes way deeper and that nation should own a good chunk of the map. What I see now is US is given a chance to regrow. I has currently 6 regions counting there capital, that is more than some small nations have (Swedes, French, Danes). Yes we all know they are going to loose two of those in the Gulf to the British if they don't show up and stop giving them away. That is there own fault making the deals with the British. No matter what the British say we as Pirates and I'm speaking for my clan on this one have no plans to 1 port the US. We have only attacked on region and took it cause they have attacked three of our regions (two resulting in port battles and a lot of agro raised on all three). They are more than welcome to take it back any time they want, but I would advise for them to get there act together. Build a good strong fleet and than come at us with a unified nation and take it. Hell there might even be a chance we give it back without a fight if they just approach us and have peace talks. They haven't even tried that. Remember when we did operation camal toe we took three regions in days and than we only defended one until we where happy with our results and than we gave all three back without much of a fight (think a few guys showed up just to have fun, but it was less than half a dozen in those fights). We had all ready moved on to Operation Dutch oven to go play with the Dutch that attacked our silver port and declared war on us. Remember something both these times and just about ever thing we do is a result of what another nation was doing to us. Once we where happy with Dutch Open we moved to Operation Lone Ranger and took just about every Silver port on the map. We don't hit stuff to take dots, we hit stuff to get fights mainly on the PvP area. We don't keep them for long as the big nations quickly find out stretch your self to thin and it becomes a weakness. Brits are going to find this out soon when other nations get tired of them. While they are big enough to fill several port battles against one nation, but will they be able to handle it if the majority of the server hits them all at once? People really need to look at the big picture and long term effect of there actions.

Did you have your repair on cause that looks exactly like you have your repair on and repair takes tops over any crew management. It wouldn't have matter any way man you where cord out there. Also if your in fire shock and you are in it in the picture your crew won't move either. Also are you running open mag? That makes you really easy to catch on fire so you might not want to run it and stop trying to solo fleet missions.

It hasn't changed but the one thing that messes folks up is when you rub against another ship it gives you false speed reading. This is how AI has pulled folks that thought they where going 5 knts (watched it and the guy wasn't going that fast at all). Lag also gives you a false reading. Be warned AI if they have one more crew than you will pull you if they can and they still get all the board mods and marines. I boarded a 5th rate with my 3rd rate and we both had 65 marines (I have marines 10% for 1st rates) and he would still have higher firepower than me on most moves even though I had 200-300 more crew than he had at the start of the fight. Marines for a SOL is pretty much useless unless against AI that still get 20% marines other than to help not get killed by them. For players well we know how that story goes;)

Remember since day one of test bed for this patch I said it need to be about 12 mins. 10 is to fast and I think 15 is a bit to long. That gives you the 2 mins to repair (minus any mods) and than 10 mins for the repair to cool down. I like that it still has to be shared though to keep from spamming all repairs at once. 12 mins just seems like a good happy medium.

They need to give the lighter guns back there crew numbers they had a while back. They made them take less crew a while back to help with the grape issues with shallow water ships.

You can craft every thing in your capital region. Any thing you get out of that region is the woods. Those you can use smuggler flag to get and that is it. We did not cripple anything and if you can't figure that our you have no clue what your talking about. Yes we prob put a hurting to any folks that set up shop in that region, but they still have plenty of places to make all there ships. Not to mention how many US players moved away from the capital and is doing there econ in other ports. We did leave them their coal on purpose cause we didn't want to cripple them that way. You be surprise how much we actually plan our targets when we hit them. If we wanted to cripple them believe me they would know it fast and there wouldn't be just one port battle. We would of turned the coast black in a day or two like we did on PvP2 before the Patch was announced and than after that operation took all the silver ports on the whole server. Now what we did do is make a very hot zone so they can't just AFK sail traders around and think ever thing is safe. They need to work as a team and help each other out and escort there traders in runs. This should hopefully in the long run make them actually a stronger nation and well some day we expect them to hit us back and take the port from us. I just checked they can still get Live Oak in there own capital region so they won't be short that wood. White oak they can still get in San Mateo. I'm still not seeing how we crushed there econ? Hell now they have the Bermuda Ceder region so they can prob make trade deals with folks to get anything they need. Now one resource they are hurting on is the Silver and Gold, but there are other means to get them. Hell I get most mine from my iron and stone mines not from an actual gold or silver mine.

Going to proper 64 bit system would let the game be way more optimized than it is now or ever would be on current Unity. They can add more ships and items. I think they have mentioned they have hit there in game object limit and had to remove some ships to add other things. A lot more control over things they can put in detail wise in game. I'm sure some one more computre sazzy than myself will come along and add more, but it's a good thing. Really surprised it wasn't in the works as Unity 5 has been out a while.

The second part of that post wasn't dealing with him, it's for all the other guys that are just flat out trash talking and being rude in game and on here. Take that stuff to tribunal if you have evidence of something some one did something wrong. Which so far every one they have tried have gotten shot down by the devs. I honestly don't want any thing ill to do with that nation and hope it can get back on it's feet. They just need to stop doing the same thing they been doing and stop listening to the some folks that aren't working out. I know me and Jean (the Santi with my Vict) got home safe. We did loose two other 1st rates (not sure what video you watched). One of them they scuttle at sea cause we where running them down, the other we recaptured back. So all and all we lost only one 1st rate in the whole thing and US/GB lost a bunch of 6th to 4th rates but no clue on the numbers and I'm sure most of them where store bought cheap ships. We actually have no problem with the fact there was a screening and such even with the current broken mechanics and was proud of those that fought. In the fight I was in there was a lot of low level guys that tried there best to do what they can against to very tuff ships to crack and we respect those guys for trying even though they got sunk. Those or the guys we hope level up and take over the nation as they had heart in the fight. We will see how well they bounce back from this. Not going to say we will just give the port back, but we have in the past when we done this to US to remind them they need to watch there actions. They are not a strong RvR nation and never have been, they only just have numbers on there side when they pushed around other smaller nations that couldn't field full 25 vs 25 man teams in port battles even during prime time.

We have noticed that the tag for Pirave Vs Pirate puts you in location with each other properly according to tag. In normal OW batles it puts you a distance off and some times not exaclty the same position from each other. WIth the speed META of most ships now this turns a good tag into a kind ok tag and if you don't have a speed boat too they will just zip away with little to no harm. Pre-patch mast damage needs to come back. The reason so many folks where demasting after patch was cause it was the fastest way to stop a speed boat from getting way from you. I honestly think it's time they give us something to stop making us nothing but a bastard nation.

Back a good long time ago when we got accused of using aimbots and such I did a search and other than a few folks bringing up the topic in hack forums there isn't any out. Most of the comments was simple, "It's server side so can't be done easily and it's not a big game so not worth the coding." To many folks throw around the hack and exploit thing for there own lack of skills and understanding of game mechanics.

Just thought I remind folks of this and that this is a tribunal not global chat.

That alt never had a chances as the other pirates that showed up late to screen the Brits tagged him and keeped him from showing up since he is a known US alt (maybe brit now since his clan went TF and TF is now GB). We did send info the first time to devs, but that is up to them to deal with and wasn't enough to make a big tribunal. Pirates can take care of there own traitors in game now with Pirate vs Pirate mechanics. I also want to remind every one throwing around the words cheat and exploits. If you don't have proof and I mean proof to make a post in Tribunal than you need to shut up as most of you have no clue of the actual game mechanics and what the devs have ruled on such topics. As long as we weren't using the person to cause agro or pull a fleet to prevent it from joining a port battle it is not against the rules. What they had said they might of was going to do with the Pirate alt was very much against the game rules. I just want to remind folks that making false accusations is against the rules. So you better have something to back it up or I will report folks every time they make little cry baby toddler fits about being out played by legit game mechanics usage.

I switched over to pirates over a year ago and it hasn't changed from when I was US back than. US biggest enemy isn't the pirates or other nations. It is themselves. Ya'll are so toxic to each other and self destructive at times. We never try to recruit folks, but they come on there own after getting fed up with things in the nation. That is why many of our ex-nationals are from the US. I'll be honest to say that the best way for ya'll to get better is to stop bickering and work together. Ya'll where once the largest pop nation. Though I think with the patch ya'll moved to the number two spot with Pirates right behind ya'll. The biggest issue is ya'll have so many carebears and those are the guys that lead. The ones that don't PvP or only show up for fights where they have numbers and a sure win. There was no reason for ya'll to pull out of that Port Battle last night and ya'll didn't have to call your British Overlords to help. Ya'll had over 40 ships out side of Savanna and in the PB. Even got a few of us split and keeped out of the port battle which we give ya'll props for. Maybe it's time ya'll stop repeating the same things over and over and try something new. Stop being dependent on the Brits for one. Stop listening to the old claners that are more PvErs and never leave ports. Let some of the new guys step up and lead. Some of our best players are the new guys not the old farts that can be stubborn in there ways. Take this time to rebuild and get strong. Pick your targets wisely. We where actually hoping to see a good strong US and British fight each other, but as soon as one clan bows down to them ya'll folded up. We have no plans to roll US so don't be fear of that. Just know we won't put up with you trying to flip our ports either. We just want to keep things to fun OW PvP. Take a step back and try to rebuild. It's still early in the game that ya'll can rebuild and come back stronger. Until things changes most are only going to see ya'll as a British Colonist now cause that is exactly how we see the US and there dealings with the Brits so far. Other wise best of luck to you all.

Because the game isn't finished and that would mean they would have to make a port of it for the OSX system. Something you prob won't see until after release if they ever do it.

and it's 10 mins nothing can happen other than fighting and well fighting since no cap circle gains points. It's the exact same rules as in deep water port battles. And why is this in global nation section any way?

Fix the BR tag issues and get the FLEET GROUPS into play so that trash ship of low rank fleets can't pull part of a 1st rate SOL. If you want to screen a fleet you need to bring decent similar or close ranked ships to screen not a bunch of low ranks trash ships to split fleets. Increase PvP rewards so that they are worth it. Make fleeting rewards worth it, the split is to much a cut and you can get nothing in a fight even though you did a lot. Bring back xp for damage done so you can get a reward even if you didn't get assit and kills. This hurts small low ranks to much right now trying to level up. Give the pirates some true pirate mechanics and stop treating them as another nation. This will bring more to the game if they are not a nation and had there own mechanics that isn't the same as the other 7 nations. I know you asked for three, but this is something we need. Can we get and updated list of the actual active server pops and national break down for all the servers now that it's been over a month since the patch has came out. This way if folks want to change nations they can or to see who really has what numbers to shut others up about who are the actual largest nations. Something like this that you did when the patch was first announced.

As some one who has actually severed in the military and have served combat duty I would never called upon my enemy to fight a war I couldn't fight myself. I would not come out in trash ships. I would show up in my best ship and fight the threat to my last breath. I was former US player and I left cause the same guys still in that nation is doing still the same thing. They bring trash to a port battle and give up before it even starts. Many of those in 5th rates and below was of the Rear Admiral ranks and we have seen them in bigger ships. It's a defense port battle. They didn't have to make 1000 points. All they had to do is stop us from making that and that is very easy to do when our numbers didn't make it in full strength and most our ships where slow tanked out builds. Back when I was US we would go to port battles with our best ships while NPG showed up in store bought trash ships of not the level of the Port battle. That was over a year ago. They still do the same thing. Now that a whole clan has left US and came Pirate they confirmed that many of those that showed up had 1st rates or refused to pool there marks and help get 1st rates for there clan. That is not unity, that is greed and folks only looking out for their selves. It hasn't changed in over a year. US will never be nothing more than a weak PvE nation if they don't get off there arse and fight there own wars. They have the numbers to do so or they shouldn't have several ports on the map. Maybe it will be good that they get brought down to just a few regions until they can get there act together.

There are 4 locations I see so far, haven't seen the Turk one drop yet, but it's spread out. The thing is this is't meant to be a big joint everyone on the server rush. With 5 wrecks and 5 chest total it's only going to be a few guys that get the reward. Though I don't think it flags the chest holder any more. As long as they keep it random and multi time a week I don't have a problem with it. I only went to the one down by the Dutch lands on GLOBAL and that was only cause I had a trader on the south side of Haitia getting white oak from a Dane port. So I jetted down there.... Santi Permit Sanit BP (already have) Connie Note Nassau Fencing Master Not bad loot, but for the time I spent jut heading down there and heading out wasn't bad loot. I see them more as like super bottles now.

Wasn't bragging about anything, just stated what happen and that Connie stayed miles away and really only tried to tag us in. Your Indefatables where the ones doing most of the damage and half the ones sunk where all 5th rates. Why was there even Navy Brigs and Brigs in your group? Wait I just checked they where 1st and 2nd Lt's, give them props for showing and trying. Let them know good job, but you had over guys in shallow water ships that could of been in 4th rates or higher. It's a Freaking SOL port battle? You bring trash ships your going to get sunk. You bring light shallow water ships your going to get sunk even faster. Again we aren't complaining about that and give ya'll props cause ya'll did exactly what you needed to do to keep us out. If that port battle had lasted a big longer though I'm sorry you would of lost more ships. Oh and unless you guys have guns that can pen over 90 thickness you weren't going to pen just about every one of our 1st rates other than stern racking. Again ya'll did good you got both us down to below 50% sails and Jean was down to 500 crew and I was around 700. It would of been like the battle I got tagged in after wards though we would of just ran it until the clock ran out. The majority of us are from US prime time players, but we do have a good number of AUS and SEA players too. Though I play on PvP1 (haven't been on EU yet) and I'll be honest I don't want any thing to do with that server.

and be carefull if you board and capture a players ship. If you put equal crew on it, it will try to board you back and keep fighting even though it's your captured ship. Yah the outlaw battles still have a lot of buggy issues still with them. We don't run control any more cause it's caused other issues so haven't came across this problem. Did you F11?

No one said you couldn't join those fights, if we where avoiding the fights than you couldn't been able to join what ever we tagged. We used the game mechanics that we had to try to keep from being separated. Ya'll got a few of us separated and I don't see any one complaining about that. The only folks I see complaining and not entering fights is you guys. If ya'll had pulled all 25 of us into one battle we would of fought ya'll, but you where trying to us a broken system to separate us from a very tight convy that you wouldn't been able to pick stragglers from if the system wasn't broken. Did ya'll have 25 ships? I haven't seen the other battles I wasn't involved in, but should 24 Line Ships be pulled into a battle with a fleet made up of 6-4th rates with most of them being 5th rates? That is what I saw mostly of not a fleet of 4th rates. Though I can not speak for the whole British fleet as I only saw part of them. The screening fleet should be like ships and numbers not a bunch of throw way store bought ships. Than come talk to us and we would of gladly forgot about the port battle and just had a fight in the OW instead. And remember folks we weren't the only ones that suppose to had an alt there. So who exactly is he an alt of VCO/TF? I'm going to guess TF since all his clan mates from HELL rolled US and joined TF and than went to Brits with TF. Yah and if you used him to tag and pull in other pirates that is against the rules, but since it didn't get to that we didn't report it. Though I would love to see if some one check the char to see who's alt he is and what he might of done to abuse his chars. This is the same one we caught running side by side with a US and started the BLACK vs HELL clan wars in pirates a few weeks ago.

Oh look another one that goes to personnel attacks instead of facts. Do you like making fun of folks with learning disorders? I'm not some English major just some Country boy that turns wrench for his living (though semi retired). I found for teacher your lack of compassion for others that might have issues with the grasp of English language structure and proper grammar to be very mind blowing. Instead do you attack your students that have issues with there writing in school? Hell you do not want to see my writing, it's like a bunch of chickens running around with there heads cut off. I barely passed English in school cause of my learning disorder, but I made straight A's in all my other classes. Some folks just aren't that good at some things and for me it's proper grammar and sentence structures. But than your perfect and you have no flaws I take it? Devs have said there is nothing wrong with it as long as you don't us it to build hostility or to pull the other team into the fight to keep them out of the port battle. We did not do either of those things. You could of joined the fight if you wanted to, but no that wasn't on your terms. Believe me if we had gotten a 25 vs 25 fight out side the PB it wouldn't be our ships that sunk. The only chance ya'll had was to split us up as you did with a few ships and dog pill on us cause the games BR mechanics for tagging are broken.

Yah there is a trend with these guys. Ever time they get out played they bitch and complain. We used War Supplies to stop a double flip in the Bahamas, they come on here and complain. We use a ship to tag which could been another pirate or AI so we aren't sitting in the open they complain. Why didn't they join that battle than? Oh cause they fleet wasn't all split up so they can jump in on who they use the broken BR mechanics. I honestly didn't see very many big ships on either side screening. Maybe a few Connies, but what I saw was a lot of Surprises and smaller ships. That is why I asked what the Brits brought, but I wasn't in those battles. Can only speak of the one I was involved in and one of those guys when I got attacked by the British was in a Brig and the surprise was super slow so was prob some store bought. I didn't check it's crew but wouldn't surprise me that they where mostly in store bought ships.
