Sir Texas Sir

Updated Forecast for the game this year. When the hell are we going to get any pirate mechanics? Pretty much my top two things I would like to see right now.

Are we ever going to see a ship change any time soon. It's all the same names of the same folks that has a pattern down and get the top numbers. The Cerbus only had one week there and now the Rattler has had a month and half. We really need a change in the ship and even missions objective. Hell no one is really even going to the PvP events on PvP2 cause well most folks can't fight each other cause of stupid alliances. We have had little feedback or changes since this was pretty much put into the game. Why is there so much silence from the Devs? That is not the gold crafting bonus, that is the player crafting bonus. Ships crafted by players have a slight bonus over none player built ships of the same level.

Mid week? Should we expect something by the end of the month than?

He's just crying cause some one other than there little carebear alliance of the three largest nations brought 25 to the port battle and it wasn't there side this time. Why you think we keep doing morning flips. Casue they don't show up with 35+ and we kinda might have a chance against US or Brit. We only fight these two nations cause they are the only ones that have took our buffers and starting ports from us. We just want them back and we will leave them alone. Well not in the OW or screening for others. To be honest the only reason there are any port battles on PvP2 is cause of us and the Swedes flipping them. If it wasn't for us you might as well just make it PvE 2. We actually joke about if there was a merger all them would rage and leave cause they won't be able to sit on over the majority of the map. They would actually have to fight and fight against equal or more numbers. I seen the fights on PvP1. If the ping was better and well some of the players more friendly I would actually not mind it over there. For one nations actually fight each other.

To be honest they need to do a resource wipe and a region reset and make every one start over from scratch. You will quickly find all these little carebear alliances will prob change real fast as they don't have piles of resources stocked up they got under older broken mechanics and actually have to get the resources.

Yah this guy....see here is yet another way to get silver.....

Where is that guy bitching about silver on PvE? Let me go find his post lol

http://www.navalactionwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page http://www.navalactioncraft.com/ Two good resources of things about this game along with many great videos out there. Decken posted the link for the BR limits for PB's but i think they tweeeked it abit as they allowed the Waffel in and it had higher BR than the other 4th rates unless they lowered it. Cause it can now get into 4th rate battles.

So you mean like how we have three Dutch's that keeps attacking Castries? I don't see us going on a war path with ya'll over it cause we know it's just a few rogue players. Benny isn't all of Swede ya'll keep forgetting about that. Again that was not a major econ port and you even said your going to give it to France. So why you care if you loose it or not. Back off and leave them alone if you don't want to be attacked. Now your going to have the danes on you all the time cause they got a taste of blood and well 17 is way better than other battles where I seen it's been 10 vs 25 pluss and ya'll still show up to help when it's not needed. We where out number at windwards and won, ya'll can to if you just figure out the system and work it. Let as few natiosn grow and than worry about it when they attack past that line you drawn in the sand, but you broke that line yourself by attacking them back in areas you said you where pulling out of.

You do understand war supplies only grinds it to 50% right? That means they have to physically do the rest. If you can't stop them and counter bomb it down than that is ya'll problem. And up till the Dane alliance you just needed a few guys to show up and beat them. Sounds like a bunch of lame excuses to not let other grow. Again I can take a trader and smuggler flag and go in and get those same items your talking about to make war supplies. Owning it or not will not change a thing.

There is no such thing as a war supply port per say. I can take my trader with smuggler flag and go get every thing to make them. How the hell you think we keep attacking Little harbor. There are tons of ports around there that don't belong to us that we get all the supplies from so that is kinda a lame excuse to take ports from a nation on the other side of the map. Not only that US has not offered to give them back since. If you can't deal with 3 am port battles with 3-4 players than maybe you need to recruit some more players of other time zones? It's a world wide game after all. Your home port? I have yet to see anything until just recently attack down south so what exactly is your home ports? You have 12 regions and no one has attacked any where near your capital or any of the main south ones.

If you post any facts or something against his post he will delet you. So yah it's funny he's talking about all that and doing exactly that.

Did you ever think the Swedes might give those to France? Why are you stepping in? Sounds like what US use to do. Oh we are keeping the port from you so you won't take it. Than they never give it to any one. Specially if they are in an alliance with them? Which by looks at current votes might still happen. But no ya'll have to jump right back on your war wagon and attack back. How about you just leave that zone alone and let them figure out there own affairs. It's not like ya'll are getting anything attacked south of that dutch line. Well didn't until you attacked this region. Remember every action gets a reaction. If you just stop sticking you nose into other people business they might just work things out there own. Hell we even told the French if they want windward they can have it, but brits had to rush over and grind it back up. We plan to give it back to them once we get another source of silver, which we can't cause US owns all the extra silver and won't give us back our silver. It's not like they don't have two other regions that produce silver.

It just shows folks can sat aside there difference and work together. oh don't get us wrong we will still sink the crap out of each other in the OW. We made that very clear to Badbenny

Yah I liked that it's pinned so folks can just pop in and check the battle results. Need folks to post the ones I'm not in or can't get screen shots for. Folks have been pretty good about posting screen shots after battles that I can post, but I don't know what all goes on in all the fights.

What about SPAIN? POOR POOR LITTLE SPAIN. Pirates pretty much just want to help the little guys right now. We don't have the numbers we had and well the zerg thing was hurting the server more than anything and most of those players are gone now that wanted that. Considering we have only three regions not counting our capital . Would be nice if we can give the small nations a few regions to keep and stop there. Than pick a few regions that aren't important to any one and fight over those to get port battle until the server population grows more. Right now having two large nations not fighting each other and three of them pretty much all ways in an alliance is killing the game and server. US should pick two small nations to help out and have an alliance with them. Brits and Dutch should pick a one also. Though the second can be one of the larger nations, but they shouldn't have a three way. This will allow more folks to fight in the OW and help the little guys out too. Since pirates can't do alliance we pretty much have said we will screen for the little guys when we can. And of course keep what little resources we have at this time and maybe get a buffer back around Mort of the regions we owned after patch. I think it's funny every time some one with only a few regions tries to get another the powers houses freak out and crush the. Hell France wasn't even attacking any one and US crushed them. That is not helping the game. It only runs off players and until we can get that in the heads of the old timers it's never going to change. TO many folks have old grudges against others for things that happen 6-9 months or even a year ago.

Was just thinking we should prob make a PvP2 port battle result thread and add them to that only or would ever one just prefer we keep it to this one?

Saitn John's Lineship Pirates vs US Port Battle. 13 Swedes/Danes vs 23 Dutch/US Swedes held B and A from start. As you can see way out number and there was some fighting in C. Danes brought some fire ships and did little damage. Never have seen them used to much good. Again any one bitching about Swedes and Dane bring so many to there port battle needs to shut up cause the other side did pretty much the same thing just now. You pick your fights when you can win them. I'm sure there will be more and more lop sided fights. Though if you remove all the US players it would of been more equal numbers. As I counted 8 US players. So Dutch would still have out number the Dane/Swedes. The end was Dutch held all three cap points and reached 1000 pts.

Little Harbor shallow water Pirates vs US Port Battle. 13 Pirates vs 25+ US/Brits/Dutch (mostly US as they had 21?) We where actually expecting less numbers than the last port battles. Seem US can field more than Brits for sure, but with it set an hour after server up time we where hoping to give folks a better cahnge to log in and get there too. We still want the port timers fixed cause we can't do them in US prime time right now and we just can't fight 35+. I was told that there was several US/BRITS/DUTCH that did not make it into the battle. Either way we Pirates tried to hold the cap zones B&C until the US force came into them. We fought them there until the captured points hit 1000 and battle was over. The lost where in capture zone B which had our smaller force even though I think we where pretty much split equal between the two. I as told a few of the US force in C was close to being sunk but the US did a good job of protecting those ships once they got low on damage. I haven't heard of any reports of how many where caught out side the port battle afterwards but I do know of a few US//Brits that were caught out side the marsh harbor zone and sunk. Think they where late arrivals for the port battle. It was over pretty so that isn't surprising. It's this slot better than right at server restart? Cause we where going to push Cap Fran to about the same time or maybe an hour or two later as it's prime time for our SEA/AUS players, but we had a few folks (not involved with the flip) jump on right during server up time and while others where getting ready for port battle and flip it. We had plan to go there after the port battle and finish it. If ya'll want better prime time spots than y'all need to not counter and let us flip in the eve. I'm going to continue to post port battles and encourage others to do the same with a little report of what happen. I think this is key to let folks know the truth about the numbers. I keep hearing folks say PIRATES ARE ZERGING us and come with 35+ when in truth it's the other nations fielding those numbers when they attack us. We been lucky to get around 10-15 most battles with the highest 19 other than Kidds, but that was a major econ port and our last stand. We are going to throw every thing we can at that port every time it's attacked as we expect any nation to do when they are down to one port or it's there major/only really zone to build ships. Next port battle is Windward Brtis vs Pirates during a more prime time. We will see ya'll there and hopefully give a decent fight. Was more hoping that the French or a small nations would of flipped it so they had something to build in, but hay it's not one we care for so bring the fight.

Why so long from now? Seems like things that should take a few hours takes folks days or weeks to put out. We have been asking for an updated roadmap and we got maybe by the end of the week (last week) to it will be posted when ready. I'm sorry a road map should be something they have on hand at all times to plan what to be working and projected done with parts of the project. We aren't asking for exact fine details, just a rough road map of what is planned for the year. I'm sorry some of us are starting to loose more and more interest in this game as others come out cause it's taking so long for each step to come out and the Devs give pretty much zero feed back. Like when are port timers ever going to be fixed so your US player base can actually have port battles during there own prime time. They know our prime time cause they have a PvP event during it and it's a time when no port battles can be done for the night as it shuts off at 8pm CST which is the start of our prime time.

Well they will change labor hours will be reset to zero. That is it. Other than that nothing happens to your other chars. So if your going to make a new one than burn up all your labor hours first. Remember you keep your rank and crafting level, but you loose all BP's you have earned on that new char. So it will have to relearn all them. A lot of folks will get some one friendly to hold onto all there stuff to so they don't have to loose all there resources.

I just noticed this. Really do ya'll think every one is a pirate alt? Are ya'll that paranoid? I mean really? By the way we where asked to not show up with ours so they can all get into the port battle. We where only asked to screen and I believe only two Pirates did show up out side to screen. We should make up a thread of the things PvP2 US/BRIT/DUTCH think the Pirates are doing. I mean you know since we have a billion alts and we have hacks and we have special ships that can't be sunk. Oh oh oh oh and we are zerging every one with our little numbers right now......ROLLS EYES.

I thought a good way to do pirates/Privateers would be a reputation system. You can get contract for a nation and when you get enough points you can become a privateer and use there ports.

Yah but the Hermoine was suppose to be the one given to us like a normal ship and SC was suppose to be for special prizes or something.

How hard is it to go look at what they have done and what they plan and update it? As was posted other threads this should be info ready at hand for them to know. It's not that hard of a thing to ask for a simple update so we know whats going on. You know since there is suppose to have been a patch at end of Dec/Jan that we haven't heard any updates from. Last we heard about the Ship patch update was back in November. We aren't asking for a detail break down of day to day plans, we just would like a little info of what the plans are. If we where suppose to have pirate mechanics by the end of last year and we don't have it yet, so are we expected to take another 6 months? What else will come before they get to it if they haven't? A lot of things need to be updated and told so folks keep there interest in the game. Right now many folks are leaving cause of expected changes that take months to implement. Than we wonder when they do we keep having less and less players around.
