Sir Texas Sir

Really? Try 13 vs 35+ with three nations. Kind see how it feels to be us when we are just trying to get regions we had taken from us. Would be nice if the nation that took them would just fight alone without help since they still have been out numbering us in port battles. Hell none of us are planing these screen. It's just who ever is on and is bored go get you some PvP. It's not like we get it any where else other than in shallows or around a few free ports. It gets kinda lonely and boreing out there at sea. We just trying to show our love.....with hugs from our cannons.

Awww come on ya'll could of gone in and gave it a good fight. We all ways show up with every one when out number and fight it. Believe me many a times we just wanted to say screw it and not show cause we knew we where out numbers. I was told ya'll had a good doze or more out side that just didn't enter. Sounding more and more like Dutch numbers are very much close to pirates when they don't have an alliance and help from others. While we don't support any wars south action, we will continue to support the Danes and New Swedes with there actions and screen port battles. Along with protection of the French if they are allowed to recover any more ports above Castries. Though I would be honest to say if they where to ask to have Windward we would support that and only that south of Castires and only for the French.= PS I'm not sure what fight it was in, but Nyurtle was doing a lot of bitching about the stupid "H" key when he was going into a board. yah fat fingeers strick again as I had that happen and than disabled it from that key. Others might want to change that key too before they end up doing the same.

Pamptar Deep water port battle 15 vs 6 - 15 Dutch defend against 5 Swedes and 1 Dane The Dutch captured A and started to head for circle C. The solo Dane captured captured B. Dutch and Swedes clash in front of the C circle and start to fight. Resulted in two captured and 3 sanked. Part of the Dutch force split to go into circle B. There was a little skirn against the lone Dane and Dutch. Once the circle was captured he turned to escape. The battle was over with I think 45 mins left on the clock as the capture count reached 1000. Good defense on the Dutch side keeping the renegade swedes at bay. Maybe they will keep to there area for a while. Just keep pushing them back and I'm sure you will be ok.

never notice this, wonder if this something that might be related on your computer end or even the ping? Than again I don't keep myself in the spyglass for long. Mark my target and than set coarse

pokes a stick at the Devs, "Still no update?" Many folks are waiting on this big change and it's getting near the end of the month.

That alliance still exist cause you still have the two largest nations in an alliance and not fighting each other. As for traitors, to me leaving one nation and going ot another means your nothing but a turn coat. So your no better than some one that goes to pirate. Oh wait than again your just a US turncoat so your still sucking on there coat tails. Other wise you wouldn't constantly in an alliance and freak out and run to them every time you get attacked. For some one that is DUTCH you sure stick your nose into other people business. As for what a carebear is. Just look in a mirror. It's an age old MMO term not just PvP1. carebear Term applied by PvP (player vs. player) participants in an online role-playing game to those players are disinterested in PvP conflict. Usually derogatory. Care Bear 1. Lightly derogatory term for an MMO player who avoids PVP combat, heavily preferring cooperative or solo PVE combat, chatting, or developing tradeskills/running quests. Depending on the game and the individual, this PVP avoidance can show up in several ways: by playing on strict non-PVP servers; by avoiding PVP areas or declining duels; or, by avoiding or condemning PVP players. Philosophically, they often cite unbalanced combat systems, overpowered guilds, ebayed characters, and ganking as reasons to prefer less aggressive play. The mindset can be self-sustaining in several ways: high-level "care bears" may have avatars that are tailored for PVE, not PVP; they may not network with skilled PVP players; or, they may morally refuse to learn aggressive PVP tactics. As an insult, the term applies less to players who merely prefer PVE to PVP and more to individuals who question the basic legitimacy of PVP or who greatly overreact to their avatars' deaths. Bear in mind that it is strictly incorrect to refer to the victims of heavy exploiters as Care Bears. Abbreviated CB. Compare with RPK, Player Killing/PK, PVP. 2. Adjective describing a strictly PVE server or game. 1. PVP: *kills CB* CB: What the ****? I didn't do anything to you; why did you kill me? PVP: You were there. CB: This is bull****. Go away! PVP: *kills CB again* CB: Quit camping me! WTF is wrong with you? PVP: You were still there. CB: *logs out* 2. Player 1: Hey, why don't you come over to Final Fantasy XI? I'll get someone in the guild to level you up. Player 2: Sorry, I prefer PVP MMOs; FFXI would be way too Care Bear for me.

I"m going to try that one.

I'll check it out, I'm pretty much our clan resident forum whore and keeper of knowledge. Being on lay off does have it's perks of being on line and up to date about every thing game related lol That and this isn't my first Alpha test so I know how it is to work on things slowly as they change.

Don't you have to than paste that into something? I like to f12 during battles at times. So doing a bunch of them is easy that way instead of alt tabbing.

I was thinking the same thing but a good reputation system for traders would be nice. You have good rep with that nation and haven't sunked a ton of there ships you can use there ports to trade at. POTBS had something like this. Yah maybe high points for the Admiralty shop to get rewards. You can get a note and turn it in and get rewarded for the capture of the nations privateer with another nation they are at war with or something. I don't mind the AI joining as long as it has some means to check BR so it's not major lopsided fights. Most folks ignore the AI's any way in fights so maybe this might change that. Though I do think they need to tone down the SOL fleets even more. The main fleets should be frigates and light ships. Tone down the ships and maybe ad more traders but give them escorts maybe? The only problem with that is traders auto run and you have to chase them while fighting the escorts, but if you hit them as a group than that gives your team rolls to do in the fight. Can have one guy go after the trader while the other two fight off the escorts.

Yah they can keep the paint chest, but the rewards need to be reworked for them. I think with the admirality thing that might come soon. Giving ships right now I think they are doing to flood the game with the rare ships until they do the ship crafting wipe. We where just wondering what they will do with the redeemable ships we ahve when they do that. Really wish more info would come out.

You can't F12 screen shot either. There been a lot of awsome screen shots I could of took and would of looked great through it. I'm prob going have to start using a third party program for them any way.

I realy think this would be more something for closer to release cause I got a feeling a lot of things will change several times before we even get close to that date. Though hopefully by time we do we have some good info for new players that isn't just all user made.

When the game release we will have all resources wiped so it's going to take time to get up to anything past a frigate I'm sure even with a whole clan pooling resources together. Your going to see a lot of basic cutters, but I bet the devs will prob give us a gift ship or two.

I think that was the one I chased you for ever in my Ingerland too.

I so wanted to dig up an old screen shot of me and Elric fighting and make a joke, but I'll be nice. More french is all ways better. Looks like they are starting to out number the poor Spanish once more.

It was a pleasure to read, but might want to make that $ to lbs or what ever the British used at the time. Oh and next time take that Trinc up wind, you will out run him in no time. I still have a Trader Brig that is pre patch that I built back in my very young US Captain days. She still out runs anything that has tried to catch me doing any Pirate smuggle runs.

Well now we know what to do with all them fine and other crappy built first rates we have captured lol Just joking folks just joking. Though could be a way to give them to others and hope they get better ones lol....wonder if it's only the NPC made ones that are in fleets than?

With the admiralty store it could be one way to gain credits for it. The longer you stay in the circle you tick up a small amount of points. Yah folks can still farm it, but make it so small that it will take a lot of farming to do so and while they sit there AFK they are subject to being attacked. Though I kinda like it not having anything. On PvP2 the US/Brits/Dutch have an allaicne going on and if no one shows they can't fight. The only ones they could fight that has numbers is us pirates. We only show when they will have fair fights with us other wise it will turn into nothing but gank fest and prob why others don't show on PvP1 cause I hear that is all you get either no one shows or it's a gank fest.

Sunless Sea game has something like this when you die and you die a lot in that game, you can if you set up a will and dynasty that your heir will get part of what you have in you legacy. Kinda like the concept, but more in games with an actual time base. If they started the game say in 1700 and by 1800 we had died and come back several times I can see. Just wouldn't mind some more detail cause really what would be the perk to start over a char. I can see if you change you name and nation and get some of your stuff it could be useful as a way for people to change nations and to fill in the gap, but you need to limit how much and that they can only do so in low pop nations form a high pop one. Instead of doing the current delete and loose all your stuff unless some one holds onto it. I don't need another money sink MMO type game blown way to much money on pixels in the past. I would only like it if you can get the same stuff in game through other means too. So the broke folks can get them too and not how some games do it. Where you can buy with real money and than sale it for some outragues price in game to those that don't want to pay real money. Maybe make two sets of those options fro the PvEr's to buy out of game and than have one in game that you can only get through PvP.

Yah I was thinking maybe cause it was a NPC made ship that it would do that. We have recapped many of our ships and never had the build change. We get 1st rates back all the time like this in battles that we might of lost other wise so we only loose the mods not the ship. Would be interesting to see the Devs response. Cause this could be a pain when doing things like this to get ships back. Since this is Tribunal section if it's found to be a bug please move it to the proper area so folks know about the bug.

So if ya'll show up to support US and ya'll have than we have full rights to attack Dutch ports? That is what I'm pretty much seeing by this point of view. Not that we have any plans with the Dutch but I'm just stating that is pretty much what your saying. Cause lets be honest US and Brits do not need the few Dutch that shows up in there port battles with us. That is why we don't worry about it. That one or two guys isn't going to make a big difference when it's all ready 25+ vs area average right now of showing up with 15ish in most of them, but it would show good faith on the Dutch side there intentions of staying neutral with the pirates. And it's not your trouble makers that show up cause I see you at a lot of those battles. This kinda pissed us off when we gave you a region in good faith and than next thing we see the same guys we talked to supporting US/Brit port battles. That wasn't in good faith in our books, but we are in no place to go to war with three nations at once. Just proves we can't trust good faith agreements. Really if they push the PB timers back to what it was with the flag system and we can have port battles between 8pm and 10pm but with a big window like 6pm to midnight CST we would see more fights during sUS server prime time than these late night flips and early morning port battles. The devs mention on Steam they know it's a problem, but not sure why they haven't fixed it. IT's not like it would take much other than just moving some numbers over of when the agro is locked out for flipping ports.

Yah if you want paints and ships you just need to do PvE/PvP events and port battles. That are just sit out side port battles and wait for folks to leave. We caught a good number of them this way. As for the events. They should of made those more like this. A fleet (EPIC fleet size) that has treasure ships in it. You have to capture the Indianmans with there treasures while they are being escorted by a fleet of ships. Either make the prize the actual cargo so you have to get out with the ship instead of sinking it or do say a point system of you prize after seeking a goal in the mission. So that way it's not just the guy that captures the trader ships that get the prize and you need to make it so you can't just rush in and rage board and than leave. It needs to be a total victory/point system goal to win the event. Yes this would be a PvE event, but hay I'm sure some folks would love that.
