Sir Texas Sir

So you just found that clans main area of operation. Hold back a bit and hit them as they get away. I been getting traders all over the place around KPR but than they can't catch me in my Surprise or Rennom cause of how they are built. Funny thing is I only been sunk around Mort area (well La Tort)

That is cause folks are grabbing empty ports. If you have defenders and attackers you will have PvP for every one killed in the OW out side and in side the port battles.

@admin can we get a hotfix notes to get this confirmed?

Guess it's a ninja patch they won't post like the last little one the other day.

Yah some one posted that one of the 3 CM regions doesn't give 3 any more so yah @admin any patch notes of the hotfix?

NOOOO why should we reward the folks that don't do the hard work? IF you want CM than you need to trade for them or go to the Port Battles to defend or attack.

@admin any hotfix notes? We had a little small update the other day I think that didn't have a patch not either.

On test bed I keep boarding my fleet back and forth after I captured an AI It was funny. Some one just did this where they attacked another pirate, took there ship, put it in fleet, and than the fleet attacked them. We where laughing about it cause it was funny as hell. He was so not expecting that and he had put equal crew on both ships. Even he was laughing about it once he figured out why he was getting boarded by his AI. I think we had more good laughes since this patch drop from the guys learning the new mechanics than we have in a a good while in clan.

Didn't see this one so if the mods want to combine them please do. I posted about this yesterday. It would be nice to get a baseline number of how the population is doing and how the nations is broke up in from total numbers. This will be a nice baseline number for us. Than do a tally at the end of the month. It would help folks who want to maybe move nations cause one is over populated and such.

Hope the numbers continue to slowly go up. I think the econ is going to start to stabilizee out and we will have a good number by the end of the month of how each nation stands. Though it would be nice to get a base line now and than another count up at the end of the month.

They still have to have a ship there and they cna't just port the ship over. If your hunting in hot water you better expect to be hunted down. Maybe you need to pick new area if your worried about gank fleets and such? Helll we put up wht the cutter swarm when the tag traders in front of KPR. Now talk about being in the wrong place lol

YOu ever tried to get back out of hot water with a load of loot from a trader. We had a clan mate going 6 knts on open world cause he grabbed the loot and sunk the trader. He should of left the loot on the trader and brought it back to a freeport to sale. Back in POTBS you had a surrender option that you could offer me up loot instead of me sinking you. Most of them time if it was a new player or low level I would take the offered loot and let them live. NOw you pretty much just have to sink them and they loose everthing. Keep him in the back with the Mortar Brigs and folks go back to get repairs and more ammo, than back into the fight....kinda like this. Could be used for looted treasure fleets to. Honestly that was what I thought those treasure events where going to be. Big fleets with Indiamans full of loot. Now that we can change loot in battle we can do this. Just make them none captured since they are AI and keep the loot wieght limit or have folks bring ships that can carry the loot an d not become instant open world snails.

I got a feeling we are going to get more and more folks that didn't pay attention to news and patches return and won't have chars on one or the other servers. The good thing is with the stupid Knowledge tree thing you will get your grinding started in the small ships and as you level you will unlock your ships instead of having to go back into those little ships like the rest of us. The good thing is you will hit RA before you get to the 2nd slot of the Connie.

This was me last night. I did a circle around KPR area starting from the north. Clan mates had been raiding on the south side of the island and was heading back. I was late to the show so decided I'll just circle the island and head back. Sure enough just south of Savanana La Mar I run right into a Mercury with a Trader Brig in fleet. Tag him. I Go right after his Trader Brig. I figure it's prob empty on the way to go get something in Dutch land or south Brits holdings. He takes off. I do a quick cap, no cargo. Scuttle ship and escape. I head south. Same path he was going. His invisibility goes off and I'm set on course with him. Tag....battle goes on and my surprise sinks him, get some repairs. Noticed I"m out of sail repairs so better get home. I head back after a nice run. Two less British ships on the OW and the trader brig prob hit hard on his econ. We catch these guys all day long making these runs. Bitches about never getting PvP and such, than admits he never leaves port. I'll be bluntly honest with you man. Sounds like this might be the game for you.....if you don't get out you won't find something. You have to make that first step. Bitching about not getting PvP and sitting in port is not the games problem, it's your problem. *SNICKERS* Is i it WO? Yah they hit us pretty good the first week. Just glad they our out bugging some one else. Though we watch for ya'll and Brits making that run all the time tagging solo guys most of them don't even escort with a war ship, just a solo Trader Brig. Easy pickings for a Pirate or Privateer. @Mrdoomed I figure your having a field day with the easy targets.

As far as I know they are as they been matching up so far and that was the file from the testbed.

I'm kinda confused? They are traders so why can't they get these items even if they don't RvR or PvP? I mean they are traders so couldn't they just trader for them? The other thing is folks can do like we did is pool things and give them to you clan crafter so you can get things built faster. IT's called TEAMWORK. Once our clan gets settled some of us might be willing to trader extra conquest marks we get to other Pirates or we might just keep them all for our selves. Now the solo none clan guy would prob be able to trade his to get a ship built and what not. Though I do agree the system needs to be fine tune style, but it was just put in place and folks are freaking out instead of letting it run it's course.

This is why I made this post. Kinda to see how much the population changed and well maybe they can do it again at the end of the month so folks can move if they want. I got a feeling most of the players went GB and US (leaning more for GB). While the smaller nations got some numbers it's no where close to the big two.

Some one posted the Truce agreement between Dutch and Brit last night was cause ya'll had 12 players. I guess they ahven't been to any of your Port Battles? I hear ya'll filled some of the, good for ya'll. Like hearing other nations that where once small getting the numbers up. I thinkk the only one that can't is Spain so far. Not saying 25 pluss screeners, but still it's close we didn't even get 25 in ours, just 24. Though did have 25 and a bunch of guys that couldn't get in last night at Cap Frances. Not that we will see each other in any Port Battles any time soon, sure we will cross paths on the OW. Though TEAMWORK is the key to getting things done in game. @Rick Astley I posted this above for you....read the patch notes again. The last line where they switched off the old conquest system with marks and allowed trade in for PvP's. .

Read this over again and than what your accusing us of? So if Dutch and Brits can have an Alliance than why can't other nations? We don't have one with any one maybe the Dans cause we are old time friends with them, but no one else. We told France a heads up even before the patched dropped we will take Cap Frances pretty much straight out of the gate, but have no plans to take the other middle french regions unless they become aggressive towards us. As posted above it's been stated there is nothing wrong with nations having alliances and even exchanging ports with each other as long as they aren't farming there chars (pvp marks). Now I have repoorted you for violation of rules.

Maybe you should learn to read the patch notes and you will know how we get the BP and a few permits. It's the last line after what's new added in hotfix. It was for a day change to PvP points and we pooled them all up to get them. Now the fun part. Do you know I have a Bucc? Have you seen me in a Bucc? Are you going off our comment on Global Char in game where I jokenly said I love my new Bucc? Yah your got trolled. Stop believing every thing you hear and making stuff up. I swear you guys will believe anything you hear. lol Don't Brits and Dutch have an Alliance/Tuce (what ever you want to call it) with each other? So we can't make allainces now? Not that there was one made. We told french we whre going to take that port and they had other plans so they did not show up for the port battle since they where in a port battle with Brits taking a region from ya'll. This has been addrersed in Tribunal all ready.

Yah I don't get why folks need shiney new things every moment when this isn't release and the game is still in Alpha Development. Though I didn't like they took out a good number of ships: Rattler (should be for every one like it was) Rattler Heavy (this should be in the Pirate Den since nats gat the SOLs BP's with the Aggy." Wappen (gift ship I bet) Santa C (gift reward ship) Niagara & INgermanland both are on the open world along with the normal rattler, why are they in game any more? If it's for other content to come when will that content come? A day from now, a month, a year?

My crafter I only redeemed my crafting levels and I have brought it out a few time to look like a newb in a cutter. A few folks have fallen for it lol

@admin was there a hotfix this morning as I had a slight update. Just checking to see if there is any patch notes for it.

This is what the forge papers are meant for.

Yep that is why it might be nice to see now the break down of the nations. I still think we have issues with some more pop than others, but your never going to change that.
