Sir Texas Sir

I would think if anything it can prob stay. Yah I know it screws ya'll or move it up an hour or two. That still alows the west coast guys some play time in the US during US prime time, but any thing the dang lock out has to be fixed to let us have port battle sup to 2 hours before server down time. WHich means we can get 100% up to that time and it flips it 46 hours from than. Or that can just remove the 46 and make it 48. We hate that 2 hour thing cause you have to actually grind it way later than you plan to have the port battle to have it at a decent time. What part of Aus is that 6-7? I think moving it back one hour or two would prob put it in the best window for a global server.

Clan tag and player names will prob be gone. I think it's goign to be delete of all chars. Than log in and make new chars and every one gets the same dredeemables. Just your rank and crafting level is saved.

I would just be happy with a redeemable one to goof around with the next few weeks.

BLACK - PVP2 will send two officers for this. We plan to remain pirates on the new server but plan to support the other nations if needed. Could be good having more than one Pirate clans that might support different sides cause of the new Pirate on Pirate mechanics.

Savannah Lineship Port Battle - 25 US vs 25 Pirates (we where short at start by a couple) We didn't even go for the circle game other than capture B and than went to meet them in the middle and pushed them back to C. We went for the sink game cause of what they brought. They did have control of two circles, but we where sinking them faster than they could cap the points.

Funny I asked every officer of our clan and including myself we never got invites (other than I think kotles did but he can't be on at those times) and than ya'll said we weren't invited to the first one cause folks said they won't show up if we show up. I'm sorry we are just as much a nation as any one else. I mean just look at the map. We effect politics just as much. Just cause we can't we do alliances or others join our battles don't mean we are any lesser of a nation than any one else. Again this Pirate BIAS that we aren't a Nation crap needs to be dropped. We have done more for the small nations on PvP2 than any other nations so we do effect the politics. Hell part of the reason we are burning US and Brits is cause we plan to give a lot of this land to them. We just need the alliance back with Danes so they can defend there lands cause other wise ya'll will just take it right back....like ya'll are doing with the swedes even though it's only a few guys most folks hate it's still a small nation. I would say Cordova-CKA and Lionshaft-NPG are the two largest nations clans, but they aren't the only ones and I hate to say it those nations need to get the younger clans up and in charge cause they need better leadership. As Davos said they don't get on forums and prob won't even show to any meetings, but good luck with them. I would try for more of the smaller clans cause they are the ones that want change and growth for there nations instead of doing the exact same old thing that isn't working. As for BLACK I will let the other officers know and we will see about having some one there. The only thing that will keep us is if that is during a port battle time than we will not be able to show up. We do not plan to stop playing up till the patch so we plan to continue to have RvR and PvP up till than. PvP1 guys are more than welcome to come over and play in any nation though the small ones could use help. It would be good to start getting to know each other before hand.

Yah we have on PvP2 our main Dane numbers are SEA players. With us assuming we will get none restricted server the port battle timer hopefully will be fixed and maybe even the maintenance timers too. Maybe we can get the Devs to answer this some time soon. Any one noticed the Russian section has a Q&A section that they actually answer? Why don't we have that for the main server other than the fact that folks just hound them over and over?

Are the Pirates invited to this? Every time PvP2 has one of these meeting the pirates aren't invited cause most folks don't think we are a Nation or should be treated as one. All joke aside I think this is a good thing which can help us get a good healthy server going with the PvP Global. Lets prove to these PvP EU guys they are going to be bored and back sooner than they think, remember the mirror server and how long that one lasted? I have no love for the folks you speak but man your starting to sound like a broken record about them. Your being no better than they are by making comments like this. I heard Badbenny is taking a break by the way so ya'll won't be dealing with him for a bit. Something about an GLOBAL argument between the two of them. Who knows, but hay lets leave this type of stuff in the past.

I was more thinking of the Clan tag names than players, but I assume those will be wiped maybe too. Though remember some names that are historically are locked so that might be why yours is. I know a few pirate names where as my none pirate chars have all been named after real pirates of that nation.

Opening as in one the 19th-20th the current servers (PvP1, PvP2 and PvE) will be shut down at maintenance and then when the maintenance comes back up there will be a PvP Global and PvP EU we pick to log into and make our new chars. with current Rank and Crafting level. This isn't a release of the game it's an update to a new patch we are testing as this game is still in Alpha Stage of development.

I think the BP's and means to craft are changing but we are to keep our rank and crafting level. So if you crafting level is 45 and your RA that will be the level when the wipe happens. Now as for BP's that you keep that is up to Devs and they stated they have reworked that system so we will prob have to wait for the testbed to get a clue in a few weeks. My guess is some BP's like the rare ones will be gone. If you notice you can get Pirate frigate in the Admiralty Shop for pirates. Maybe the nationals get something else in them too. There prob going to be other ways to get all but the "Special Gift" ships. They also mentioned the Endy and Indefat will prob be craft-able in the future so that is good news.

This is not a release, this is them doing a wipe so we can test things with a clean slate. Many folks are sitting on millions if not billions of gold and so much mats they have every can pump out first rates for weeks and not run out. That doesn't allow us to test crafting and economics properly. This will allow us to do so. There will prob be another wipe when the game release later on. Hell might be more than one if the Devs think they need it.

If I remember right when they mirrored it didn't mirror the clans so I would assume you would have to start them all over. A wipe is a wipe so that means every thing would be gone. Like Elric stated it might be a good thing to wipe a lot of the clans that are either dead or taking up good names tags that others might want to use.

While they do internal testing it allows us to test a patch right before it goes live to catch any last moment things they might of missed or so tweeks can be made with a smaller population and not a large one. That and they can control the environment of the testbed without effecting the players. Like limiting resources and giving you only certain builds.

I would vote for those that got the yacht and any ships like this that are special for testers should be the un-tradeable permanent blueprints. Cause to be honest I would prefer to make them my style than some radnom or dev picked build. As long as they are not OP ships and maybe just reskin of other ships there shouldn't be an issue. This ship kinda makes me think of a lighter Niagria as it has 9 lbrs and about the same gun lay out. I like my small ships so this should be fun to test when it is released. Along with any other ships still in plans to be released.

But is it going to be only released when the game goes live or will we get it sooner? I figure it would be something we won't see until the game goes live. I'm game for any new little frigates. That reminds me I need to pull the stats on it and look at it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Pandora_(1779)

My only fear is what happens last big patch. They said it will come in a week or so, didn't come. Took almost a whole month before it dropped, but that whole time just about every one stopped playing so the game got very dead. This is why some of us want the current stuff on testbed to be brought to the live servers so we have something new to play with until the wipe and new patch. Hell it's all going to be wiped any way can you give every one all the BP's so we can all have the ships and play with them for the next month. This is including the SC as it's very rare on PvP2 since we don't get any tournaments or pay outs of them by dev teams.

Well I did make 2.4 million one Sun morning with nothing but a Basic cutter, captured Trader Snow and some store bought ships one day on PvP1 after deleting and rerolling a char so it might not be to hard depending on the new system. Maybe they give us a little starting money to with the redeemable for such things.

I'm going to bet it's going to be just like if you delete your char and make a new one. You log in make your char and get some redeemables and only have the base BP's. Which is going to suck, but they are reworking the BP system too with this patch so we might not be to bad off.

I didn't see really anything wrong with the structure stuff other than the problem it's hard to test stuff when your limited to a few redeemable ships the devs give you or crappy store bought ships. Would be nice to test it in ships of builds you would actually make and play.

I would assume with the wipe that means every one can just log into PvP Global or PvP EU and make there new chars of the nation they want and start fresh and the map will be reset with the new PvE Zone changes. Though doing Lineshipe battles might be interesting with the forts/tower changes and most folks will be in frigates to grab those first few regions/ports...lol

I assume one will be a trader so that one might get redeemed and depending on the builds I'll prob be doing the same as you. Start from scratch, but I know how my clan is about resources so we prob be pumping ships out pretty quick for each other once we get them back. Might not be 1st rates but it will be ships lol

I'm cool with all this, but is there any way we can get some of the stuff currently on testbed out on the live servers out on a patch. Like the Pirate vs Pirate stuff. The new ship structure stuff. The Admiralty store stuff even though we know it's only a few items, but we can go live on testing the points and marks you get until the full wipe and patch comes. We haven't had any new content in 3 1/2 months an now we are going to be waiting not a week or two, but pretty much another full month for full wipe and new content.

Dude it's all going to get wiped and we are having fun. I mean they did attack us so we attacked back. That is what RvR is all about. I'm sorry your little lets be friend and peaceful crap needs to go to PvE section. If you don't want to PvP than don't get involved. They had over 35 players at that port battle with the screeners so it's not like they are hurting on numbers. Hell we where short a few players most of the battle as we didn't even have a full 25 until a few guys showed up late. If they can't protect there own home front during there own prime time being the largest nation in alliance with the second largest nation than that is not our fault. Why are you even posting on PvP2 stuff? Shouldn't you be over in PvE or PvP1 doing stuff? For some one that hates the server so much you keep coming back to make comments.

I just broke 4K on my main account. Now I'll prob bet 500 of those was me passed out on the keyboard AFK back when they didn't have the AFK kick. My second account has 2.4K hours and it's only half as old as the first. So yah some of us have lots of hours, but I know what an EA game is and I knew when I bought it it was an Alpha game in development stage. I have done a lot of Alpha and Beta testing over the last 20 something years of games so I knew what to expect. I actually suprised we haven't had half a dozen wipes over the last year. So folks are lucky, but it's part of the testing we are here to do. I think to many folks don't understand what a EA game is and how they work. I don't expect to be compensated for anything even upon release. Hell I was expecting them to wipe Rank and crafting level until they told us we would get to keep that. So no we don't need to be compensated. A lot of the stuff folks have they gotten during some very bad mechanics in the game. Those items do need to be wiped so we can properly test other parts of the game. It's up to the Devs to decide when that time comes. I'm also an EA of Dayz and I'll be honest they been growing so slow and there lack of content updates pretty much has me not playing the game. I'll pop in after each patch to check things out but I'll prob not get back into it until, and if it ever gets more to the final stage of the game. That is the risk you take in a EA game, so if it fails and never gets off the bench of being developted than so be it. That 20 something bucks I spent was like a few beers at a normal bar or a lap dance at the titty bar. And I gotten way more enjoyment and longer lasting than I did at that titty bar from either games.
