    For the spy's you speak of we have a report system and section of the forums for that. If some one is doing those thigns they are against the rules and you should screen shot and report them.
  3. Sir Texas Sir
    I love how you constantly say we lie and never give any proof and we constantly give proof of things that you lie about with screen shots to back them up. I really think you have an issue with knowing what is real and not in your little world. I never had an issue with vdD other than his math sucks most the time when dealing with numbers at fights but that starting to be a common thing among the Dutch on here. Remember he has to sink. If you go back and look at the screen shots even when they out number players the US/BRIT/DUTCH realy don't push a fight unless the other guys come out to fight them. I seen many port battles won simply by capping B and C and never going into "A" Just look at the screen shots he post. Normally there is one or two guys that go in there and he caps them. It's sad when you out number some one 5 vs 1 and he still sinks one or two of your guys. Oh and do remember France can use Dane/Swede ports too. Well now Swede and Spains. I'm going to bet the alliance will be back with Dane next vote cycle. I think all the nations have work still to make this server better, it's not one person job. We aren't trying to bully and tell ya'll what to do or how to play the game, but we are telling you how we got our numbers back up. It's wasn't by sitting in port hiding and having a care bear alliance that only attacks small nations and fights when they out number the other side. There will all ways be those type of players, the majority is going to be the casual players, with a small number of hard core PvPers. It's the fact you need to get the casual players involved and active to get your numbers up. When I ask new players or small clans most of them say they want to fight, they just don't want to be crushed by 1st rate RA's all the time. Well the only way they are going to get equal fights is to prob fight other nations. Give them the fights and you will get more players active and involved. Let them into the fights, stop telling them to stay out side. If you don't want them at first rate fights than give them fights they can ship. Make more 4th rates and shallows. The only way to do this is more folks than one alliance has to own those regions. In a perfect world I would say something like US/SPAIN (they need of there own first), BRITS/DUTCH, DANE/FRENCH/SWEDES would be a nice three way balance in the game. Pirates only currently help FSS cause they are the little guys, we only had (our clan) an alliance with the Danes cause it's been handy not having the nation at your back with war with you and it will all ways remain. Though we have made it very clear if we get the nations fighting each other OW and port battles we will be very happy to stay with the regions we own right now and just screen the port battles for PvP. Hell I'll be the first one in front of those US vs Brit port battles if they ever happens. I won't say which side I would be tagging, but than I"m a pirate so prob both...lol The biggest problem we have on this server is to many set in there ways and won't even try new things. How you know it won't work until you try it, cause apparently the current means isn't working and it's slowly falling apart. Try something new. You might find out it works out hell a lot better, or hay it might be worse and you can say I told you so and go back to your old ways.

    People need to remember you can't get an alliance with a nation that is in an alliance with a nation your at war with. Spain can't join the US while they are in an alliance with France, Swede or Danes cause US is at war with all three of those nations. You can only have two alliances at a time, since I think Danes had move votes for Spain over France I believe that is why France got bumped out this time, not to mention there is a rotate of one week cool down. I'm going to bet that is what happens with US/DUTCH, but I know for a fact folks where asking to vote against that alliance so it wasn't just alts that did it, it was prob the small nations sick of the alliance and want a change. While I'll admit we have our spy/alts vote against the alliances when needed, but there aren't as many as ya'll would really think that can. The majority is still the main player base that votes for things. Also remember any one that changes nation is locked out of the vote for 2 weeks so nation flipping won't allow you to change the votes.

    That good to hear that it isn't just BS and he is helping, but isn't that to effect helping the enemy and making him a traitor to his nation and alliance? Sorry got to poke fun at this one since that is how he views all us Pirates that use to be part of a nation......so vdD is a spy/traitor...every one hang him....lol

    You don't want to know how many times we have gotten into fights with RA and they couldn't even manual sale. While in the past we use to think it was just guys coming over from PvE or something, but man honestly I think it's we just have a good number of causal players that bad. That and some folks get power leveled up through grinding fleets and such and never learned any of the mechanics of the game. I was Lt Com before I even asked about Port Battles and on PvP1 when I asked how do you know where they are and such (flag system) I got called a spy traitor as any one that rank should of known that by than. Kinda why I picked to switch over to PvP2 at the time cause the attitude of the older stable players over there. Than I find that PvP1 isn't much different. Got to Master Com, got my surprise and started to show up for the port battles. Though was constantly told to stay out side even though a full 25 wasn't showing at them so I was the last to enter every time and never was learning anything from them. I didn't really get to learn about them until I joined UNKN cause they fought shallow water fights all the time. Than I learned more after we switched to Pirates. So unless your part of a PvP clan you might not ever learn things about RvR and such. I hear folks all the time saying they have no clue about how to vote either. As players we should be teaching folks in our nation these things. Though I'll admit I have taught a good number of guys how to get out of irons only to sink them afterwards. The other day had a great fight with my suprise (close haul build for trade hunting) I was out testing and tagged this low level in a Snow. He actually fought and fought hard for a good long time. I demasted him and than right before I boarded I told him he can surrender to save his crew and officer. He thanked me for the good fight and did that. I hope to see him out there cause that player (brit) is goign to be good when he gets higher up. These guys ya'll need to keep and not run off. We been seeing a lot of new faces in the shallows on all sides too. We need to encourage more fights for these guys to keep them interested in the game. We all get burned out a bit when we play all the time. I took most of November off cause of this. I might do it again soon. So a little time off is good for folks to not get burned out. Remember not to long ago Pirates was down to two regions and could hardly muster 10 guys and some nights you would see only 3 guys in our TS. Every one is going to have there up and downs. Bet you see some numbers rise when the new patch comes out (hopefully this month). Folks get bored and want change. Hell when ME:A comes out you prob won't see me for a week....new games also drag players away from this one.

    While I know some ships get passed over from one nation to another in support. I can honestly tell you all these ship notes I get. The firs get broken down. The crappy but usable builds get put up in random Freetown ports for sale. The good builds either go to Mort (don't do this any more cause nats buy them) or Kidds or to some small nation needing ships. That is just me, but I'm sure others do some what the same thing. Even though I haven't done it in a while but I made my fair share of ships for other nations too. Being two level 50 crafters pirates with all the BP's except one (H Rattler eludes me) on my main means i can pretty much build any ships right now. I don't charge the small nations other than meterals and notes. So there are ways to restock your ships if your contacts are nice enough to help you. I still don't see how DUTCH our out of ships and woods. You actually haven't came to many fights, you have other nations in your allaince to get the woods from and last you as of typeing this still have some major econ ports of your own to craft them in. Also share your resources. While we have been holding Castries I have filled every contract for french and swedes. Though I have stopped since I no longer us that region for my silver. Funny you ask this, cause haven't you said you supplied ships to the small nations? Wouldn't that mean you know where they are getting there ships from or was that just some hot air BS?

    I'm not going to tag every thing you said in the last day. You sound very much like the anti US players on the EU server. The location of the servers if to give players better ping, it is not saying that is the player base location. Many folks in SEA/AU can't play on the EU server cause the ping is insane. Have you ever seen the screen shots of the actually Chinese players. They are playing with pings up around 600 most the time. So if your getting your arse beat buy a bunch of guys lagging like crazy it tells me your lacking in skills you can't make up vs the numbers difference. And remember they aren't all SEA players, but they have some players in the US, AUS, and other places but they have a unified clan like the Pirates cause of there language. Yah we been noticing less and less alliance members been showing to there battles and I think it's part of the reason the US break it as the Dutch really brings nothing to the table in there alliance and it's only just 1-4 guys that show up on both sides. You think we would see more Brit players with the Dutch fights. I actually think the Brit/Dutch alliance is a good thing. Makes there numbers more equal to the smaller nation alliance. The problem isn't our alliance the problem is there alliance and there inter clan fighting running off there own players. If ya'll would stop pointing fingers and doing things to get your numbers up in the US/BRIT/DUTCH nations than ya'll would be very healthy and wouldn't need the alliance. US and Brits have more players in there own nations than any of the others combined. They just keep trying to fight with each other clan wise and not letting the little guys say what to do. I know we have a very big SEA/AU player base, but unless you start getting them involved and having fights they can join than your never going to flush out those numbers in those time zones. BLACK has a large number of players of ALL TIME ZONES. While US Pirme time still our best time zone we can field players just about all. We might not get more than 10 players, but that better than nothing and we hope the Mort Rats fill the rest. Now for the nations in alliance they have two other nations to fill and help them. Get into better relations with those other nations of your alliances and it will help. Right now I think we have to many folks pointing fingers and blaming each other that nothing productive is getting done in the super alliance so they our loosing grounds. It happens when you get to big for your britches. Maybe loose some regions and get organized and take them back. There is 71 regions in this game. If every one had 5 including there capital (that is 4 extra) than we have 31 regions to fight over. You don't have to own every port out there. If you don't want to be attack than don't attack some one that is going to beat you. I keep saying over and over when folks bitch about the Danes. Stop attacking Pounce and SD and I bet you they will go silent again and just do there thing, but until you stop attacking there two major econ ports they won't be silent any time soon.

    Cap Fran - 16 Pirates vs 3 Brits (there was a few more out side) This is a prime example how rogue/new players can effect things. What we heard was some one was grinding and was suppose to stop and they didn't so the port flipped. No pirate alts where used for this flip, it was just some newer player it seems (MaccCap I believe flipped it) didn't understand the system. This was very apparent as they tried to join from the inner circle too. Y'all need to do some cross training and hate to say it. Let the new guys into the fights. Making them stay out side and screen is not helping one bit. They will never get expierence that way of port battles. Prime example of this was Little Harbour. Not one of the guys we saw in the port battles (well maybe one or two) where guys we ever saw out side fighting for that region. Sorry if I have the agro and I was US/BRIT/DUTCH I would start saying screw you about who can enter or not first on these smaller 4th rates and below port battles. And 'll be updating the alliance stuff prob this weekend. Last Sunday had a good friend get killed on his motorcycle in a wreck and helping the family with issues right now. I should be at the port battles if I can make it, but won't be in game much other wise.
  10. Sir Texas Sir
    I see folks do it all the time. Some one pops in an out of a port, "THEY ARE A SPY." Some one has a clan of one and solo plays, "THEY ARE A SPY." They don't agree with us and want to help the little nations, "THEY MUST BE A SPY." Half the time it's just some lone player or the smaller clans that want to do something different than the big old clans. This would kill the game for sure. Hell the spy's that you should be worried about aren't the ones you know. It's the silent ones that never speak up that are the most deadly.
  11. Sir Texas Sir
    Nice to get an update, but they better not go a path of some other games where they update in twitter and other social media instead of on there actually freaking forums where most folks look. I have them on my FB, but many others don't even us it or want game stuff spamming on there personnel ones. Would been nice if they did that update on here instead. Hell I even check out the Russian sections daily to check for updates cause some times they post over there until they get a proper translation for the English side.
  12. Sir Texas Sir
    I been hounding them about this since October. They say they know it's an issue, but say it's something they can't just hotfix. Makes me wonder how they codded it that they can't just change the time in the codes to fight US prime times like the PvP event window and how the old flag system lets you. We aren't even asking them to exclude any one, just to move the window so US prime times can play and port battles don't start right when maintenance ends or before Updates are finished. With the new can't join a port battle for 30 mins of logging in without entering a port thing the battles that happen after server down is going to lock out even more players. We do some of those battles on purpose cause we have SEA/AU players. Though I agree that would help with a good chunk of these port battle problems. The patch fix will help it too to limit it to every rare chances of it being abused. Just need those updates and changes made by the Devs.
  13. Sir Texas Sir
    Sorry had to fix your post as that is how I think they see it. Though the did come up with a solution, but it won't be in game until they do the update cause they seem to never want to hotfix true issues. The solution is that no hostility can be gained after the last player leaves the battle. So if they want to still do the flip thing they have to stay in. Since NPC go after the player over the NPC AI this would be a pain and very long way to do it. We will see once the patch comes out if that helps. I think the problem was small before hand, but every one knows how to do it so now we have a bunch of guys abusing it until there is a solution to the problem. We got locked out of a port battle a week or so ago, cause of some one "TESTING IT." So it's not just one nation doing it. The good thing is that our cool downs are so small that if you truely want to attack something that got flipped it will be off cool down in another 3 days and you can grind it up again. IP lock out will never work cause as stated you have folks in the same household, business, schools using IPs. As devs have said there is nothing wrong with alts as long as they aren't abused. IF they are being abused get the screen shots and report them through the proper channels.
  14. Sir Texas Sir
    A few weeks back the Devs did the Q&A thing and a lot of folks wasn't to happy with the way some things where answered or just flat out skirted around. I would say a good thing to get new questions is to go back and look at that thread and see topics most folks where vocal about. I get some things can wait and some things they don't want to do as it's not part of there vision, but I think something like this format of some one sitting down and doing the Q&A with them would be received by the community better than how that thread was received. That and where the hell is the patch? We where promised on end of Dec/Jan with the ship crafting changes and it never came. Got a small one with a few game tweeks in Jan, but we haven't gotten a proper patch in over 3 months now. Some feed back about the test server stuff would be nice too until we get a patch.
  15. Sir Texas Sir
    Some of the things they really need to fix still hasn't even been touched in the test server (US prime time locked-out of Port battles). Though other things like the alt agro Mission Grind thing is fixed in test and should be implomented on the main servers. Other than some hot fix's type patches we haven't had a good real patch in three months. 9.97 was December 5th 9.96 was October 20th 9.95 was September 1st 9.94 was August 17th While I get that 9.97 has had a lot of nice hot fix's and all, but the average of one steppign stone patch per 3 months is about that time. Hell just do the wipe and bring out the new ship crafting. Since it's apparently pirates aren't going to get crap for any real mechanics other than just a broken/half national mechanics we might as well just push this game into 10.0 and move to beta with what all we have......but until than can we get 9.8 and the current stuff in testbed that work pushed to the main servers. The things that don't work yet and need testing can come later with 9.9? We really need a proper raid system. Even if it's just pirates that have it though I know all the Nats would complain, bet you a proper raid will get more players to show back up as it's instant PvP like the old flag system. This new raid they talk about is a PvE thing. yah it's nice to add new features, but it's still a mainly PvE raid that players can join to play the NPC's of the other side and is not a true raid. Just bring back the old flag system with 12 vs 12 (I been saying 15 but 12 fits better as max group size) and have it cause agro on that port/region to help flip and give some reward for capture/raided goods upon that port.

  16. Sir Texas Sir
    Any clue when we might see some of this moved to the main server? We are way over do for a patch and some of the mechanics need to be put into the main game (some exploits fixed) and some would just be nice new changes for most.
  17. Sir Texas Sir
    They should make RAIDS and I mean PvP raids not these stupid PvE raids they came up with, where it's 15 vs 15 or even 12 vs 12 (the size of a group) and use the old flag system. Could be a quick way to get agro up that isn't a grind on a region. You make the raid and it puts agro on that region and allows for smaller battles. Though the big solution for the 25 vs 25 in off hours is put the server in some better location for all players and just merge them. That and stop being so anti US players in some nations. I know some of us would be happy to play in some nations other than US/GB. Since things kinda picked back up for us on PvP2 in Pirates we have been busy, but we had brought up and came helped some on PvP1 when we where slow during our US prime time and it wasn't in US/GB nations.
  18. Sir Texas Sir
    Than some one is full of BS. While they might not been the ones that flipped it over for the PB, but US/GB where for sure out side both those ports grinding up hostility the night before. Now as if some one came along after server reset and flipped it in the morning I can't tell your, but did think it was odd times for the flips. I'm going to bet you they couldn't make the 10pm CST cut off time and some one might have flipped it over in the morning. We use to do this cause we didn't want to waste all our grinding time with it being ground back down the next day. So might as well just flip it and have a morning port battle for the SEA/AUS players. My advise to folks that are going to flip a port, don't wait until the last moment to flip ports and if your not going to make the 10pm CST cut off time than don't leave enough agro to flip it after the 12% is removed from server down time. I also think ya'll have some rogue players doing stuff. We been seeing one clan and we are pretty sure most of that clan is full of one guys alts who was very known for going and doing night flips with the flag system and nothing but a mortar brig on the old system. I won't say names or clans cause I wasn't the one to catch them grinding this time. Just going off what I been told by some of our guys and other nations they been noticing in those areas. Either way it just means a short cool down for the region (cause devs half the real cool downs so we can test port battles) and than if some one wants to flip it back to normal. I thought it was funny I saw some one bitching about Danes attacking Brit island. I so wanted to say, "STOP ATTACKING POUNCE AND SD and they will stop attacking you." Remember just about every action on all sides is a reaction cause of something done first. Want to stop the DANE attack simply stop attacking them. I mean ya'll already don't show up to port battle and such as is. Though on a side note if the alt mission thing being used than it will be fixed next patch. Which would be nice if that patch gets here sooner than by the end of the month.
  19. Sir Texas Sir
    Little Harbour shallow water port battle: 25 US/BRIT/DUTCH with lots out side. vs 14 Pirates with a good number that got screened and couldn't get in. I wasn't in the fight so just sharing some one else screen. If some one has the end battle results please ports. US held there port, good job on the numbers. Would of been nice if I saw more the guys that been fighting OW in the shallows int here than the guys not doing crap in OW. Maybe next time. https://postimg.org/image/kd85oq3bv/

    You can F11 it and write all that you lost and some times they will replace it.
  21. Sir Texas Sir
    AND I DIDN'T SINK.....lol.....
  22. Sir Texas Sir
    Yah I'm in agreement and don't stand behind this. I have no problem with a KOS list for the clan and keep it to TS/in game. Specially when Pirate vs Pirate comes out. But keep your dirty laundry in clan. When I went Pirates UNKN didn't want to go BLACK cause we thought they where a bunch of stuck up pricks and there was a view we had of them from the out side. Once I become pirate and started playing with them this wasn't the image we thought of them. So I joined them when UNKN kinda died out cause the leader was to busy doing streams of no man sky than playing. BLACK has a certain image and one of them I never thought of for them was being a Bully and that isn't an image I want of them. This only fuels what other nations tells there players about our clan and it's image to them.
  23. Sir Texas Sir
    Not going to happen. The split was of EU PvP1 server and the combine was only of that server. No one got anything on the PvP2 or PvE server when they combined the servers again. In fact I would be more worried that thay haven't shut down the PvE server or combined the PvP servers all into one with the low server pops right now.
  24. Sir Texas Sir
    As soon as they saw the numbers and it was funny cause I saw a lot of frigates in the Brits numbers. Well the Danes rolled 25 SOL. I didn't even enter with my Mortar Brig. Well It was called out to ditch SD and go to Virgin Islands to flip it. I see that didn't work cause last I saw all the Danes headed that way to stop it. I see now that the Danes are logged off they are not trying to flip the other Northern Carpt Swede port below that. Seems they only want to fight when they have the numbers. Just like with the pirates they won't show if we roll hard. Though back when they had 30+ every port battles we still showed up with 10-15 and fought. We flipped Little Harbour tonight and I expect a good fight with that one, but it's one of those that many care about. Hopefully Pirates can take back there starter port and keep pirate refit for pirates only...not coward Nationals that just run from fights.
  25. Sir Texas Sir
    If you look at the kill and assist it was only two guys that fought him. Every one else stayed back and just goofed off until the clock ran the points up. Yah I think it was only like a 2 vs 1 against him. Most of the Danes just pulled up sails and goofed off. They almost demasted me in my little Cerb. That is what they do when they are bored is they sit shooting each other while the clock runs out. It's almost funny and sad to when you go in out number and your the only one that gets a kill. LOL Hay when you get on let me know I'll have that ship I got from the note for you. I kinda fell asleep after the battle this morning.
