Sir Texas Sir

Diffrent part of the BR system. All ships have a set BR for the Port battles. Devs explained it in a post when they changed all the BR's. That is the adjusted BR cause of crew for OW. Though be more than welcome to undercrew one and test it for us. I sure as hell don't plan to test that lol

What cracks me up is that we have a US prime time server PvP event and it happens exactly when you can't have Port battles. So hmmmmmm I thought these where global servers? The whole thing is a hot mess that needs to be fixed but funny we haven't seen a word from the devs. To be honest the main reason we are flipping these ports for an early morning Port battle is cause it's easier to set an alarm clock and get up for a early morning PB since you can't do one during US prime time unless you live on the East coast. Really funny how they can be so fast to respond to other stupid little things, but they have yet to make a single comment cause if we had our proper port battle timers it would mean more night flips on there server PvP1 (cause we all know PvP2 is the red headed step child they don't care about). There is no such thing as a night flip on a global server. Set your clocks or recruit more folks into your nation of other times and you won't have a problem. We have a lot of AUS/SEA memebers in our clan and we work with them to get PB's on there time and they work with us to make the PB's on our times.

Ever look at the entrance of port battles it tells you what can get in and I believe it was brought up in a patch note when they changed the BR's of ships to be more equal for Port Battles and the OW tag system. But really what did ya'll think they would give every one a very powerful ships and let you go into things that it will unbalance big time? I mean how long you been playing the Agamemmon wasn't allowed in them for a very long time. Most none craft-able ships should be expected to have some restrictions on them. I swear some of ya'll aren't here to Alpha Test this game and never read things until you have to come on here to complain.

Are you can learn the rules of port battles. They have BR limits of ships that can join them. Shallow Water: BR 50 to 75 thus allowing Brig to Mortar brigs 4th rate Deep Water: BR 75 to 250 allowing Mortar Brigs to Agamemmon Line Ship: BR 75 to 600 allowing Mortar Brigs to Santisima The Wapen von Hamburg III is BR rating 300. You can see it when your in OW in the ship. This is to keep it out of the 4th rate port battles. They did the same with the Agamemmon until it was better balanced. To be honest I think the Wapen should be more a 3rd rate cause of it's guns and structure, but they can give us any ships and restrict them if they want. That is half the fun of doing an EA ALPHA TESTING. You get to test things. If they want to restrict some ships than that is there business. 3

Port battles need to have the same limit as the events. The last port battle of the night you can set is at 8pm CST (6pm PST for you west cost guys). This means ya'll can't really get any Port battle times if you have a normal life. The last agro is 10pm to get a 8pm port battle slot. All other agro is in limbo at 100% until after server reset which I believe takes off 12% of that. So any port battles flips that happen after the server resets means some one came on and finished off that last 12%. IF it's done before 5am it pushes it to 3am any way. This really needs to be changed. As updates will roll into the 2-4am time slot and that means a port battle can be half done before we get logged in. THis what happend the first time we attacked Cap Francis last week when the patch came out. It was all ready 20 mins into the port battle before any one can even update and log into the game. The two current port battles where flipped for that time of 3am. We saw that someone flipped the Danes port after server reset so we flipped Cap Francis too. That way the US/BRIT/DUTCH alliance has to pick if they want to fight the Danes who they where flipping any way or have to fight the Pirates who are attacking them. This is how alliance (verbal) really work folks. We have had a standing alliance with the Danes for ever and we are helping them cause we know they are small and can't field 35+ like the US/BRIT/DUTCH can during there prime time. So you pick your fights. That and we have SEA/AUS players in our clan that can be on at that time and fight. Don't like the time, than don't get up, recruit more AUS/SEA players and you will be able to defend. It's a world server after all. With that the server times of no Port battles needs to be pushed back instead of being no agro from 0400 to 0900 UTC (that is 10pm CST to 3am CST) it should be moved to something like 2-4 hours back. That will make sure US prime time can have battles and that no port battles happen during the 2 hour slot of the server maintenance down times. We been complaining about this on another thread but DEVS have said little to no response. Really think they don't give a crap about the US players even though

We really really need one so we can test things and needs to get a lot of folks sitting on tons and tons of stuff.

Yah some one said they saw you over there is only why I asked. you should come back and be a pain in the side for the dirty Nats....lol. Just take you time. I'm sure we will cross paths again.

Yah and some folks would like to do 3x3 duels too. EIther way unless you have the password you can't even do that.

Just ask in your national channel is how most of us do this.

By what I picked up it looks like there will be only three mod slots on ships and the rest will be picked when you build it instead of using perm mods. We will just have to wait and find out though.

I think the only way to do stuff like that is the tournament room

Ingerland gives you only these chance to get BP's. It's very low chace for a basic and with the Perk it ends up giving you only 25% chance to get either one with an exceptional ship. 2.5% Bucentaure BP 2.5% St. Pavel BP If you want to get a St Pavel BP these are the ships you need to build. 2.5% 3rd Rate 2.5% Iingerland 5% Bellona So if you want a high chance at the St Pavel BP than you want to make an exceptional St Pavel which will give you a 50% chance to get the BP. At least this is how I worked out how the BP's drop and percentage. Bellona give you a 5% chance at getting the Bucc BP too.

We had to do small battles with the Waffle and burgers to dual against any other 4th rate cause the dual system doesn't let you fight if the BR is off to much. So something like this would be nice. Even if it's a click to allow unlock of BR restrictions or something.

So you would sit there and let some one take you down to one port just so you can lay low? That is basically what has been going on. We only showed force to push back from kids being capped several days in a row. We got tired loosing regions. We where loosing more numbers cause we where laying low. You do understand we are currently at two regions right? Capital MT and Kidds? So how much more lay low we should do? Let them take Kidds and just play out of our capital? Hell we all ready know US is waiting for us to take San Jaun and it to cool down they plan to attack. To me the only one that is being aggressor and taking ports is the US. No one else has taken any ports pretty much through RvR with any resistance since patch. If we where such a threat you think we would own half the map by now. WE TOOK A REGION THAT US AN BRITS TOOK FROM US. WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? SO HOW LOW DO YOU STAY? When patch came out we took four regions. two from Spain, one from brit and France and did not push at all. US TOOK ALL OUR BAHAMA regions straight off. Than US/Brits pushed in the four south regions. I'm sorry where the HELL WAS we ever an aggressors that ya'll have to freak out other than ZILCH taking two regions on there own? We even let ya'll take one back in good faith which by the way DUTCH just proved they aren't trustworthy cause as soon as they took that port they jumped on a band wagon. BLACK hasn't done anything since before November when we got brit's down to one port. You think if we where still the old clan we would of turned on US and pushed them back instead of letting them take kidds and going down to almost one port? Really you folks are so scared of things that happens months ago you can't even play your own game. Well maybe we should just do like most want to do. Just all roll over to PvP1 and let the server die and the PvErs can be happy. Than no one will have any one to fight.

Screening in force? We are talking about a couple guys showing up and ya'll think it's 100 pirates. So we are suppose to just sit on our ass and let every one take our ports and other guys? US was never taken down to one port. They had 11 when we turned our attention to Brits so that is a poor excuse used over and over and the reason Pirates was at war with US was cause they had took them down to one port. People keep forgetting that when they keep bring up old things. Every thing the pirates or BLACK did was cause of the actions some one else did. I have no clue why dutch was taken to one port, but when I switched over last Jul/Aug to pirates ya'll weren't at one port. Actually Pirates started to give you ports back from the brits when we took them over so you weren't at one port any more. Seem ya'll keep forgetting that part. Cause are war wasn't with ya'll, it was with brits or more CKA. If you want us to lay low than we might as well quit the game. What is the point of playing if we can't defend our own ports or take back ones taken from us by the TWO LARGEST NATIONS? So your saying if US for some reason attacks DUTCH ya'll should just let them take your ports and lay low cause you don't have numbers? That the most illogical thing i have ever heard of. We have not zerg or attack any one, we only defended and tried to get back what was taken from us. Notice once we had a few zones we stopped our advance. It wasn't until US started to push our ports that ZILCH moved down south and took the silver region and the hull strength region. Notice it wasn't an action of our clan or nation, it has all ways been response to something some one else does. MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP BEING US LITTLE LAP DOGS WITH BRIT and push them back. They will eventually turn on you guys and start taking your ports to and than you will be in the same boat as we are. You want to know how we filled 19 that one port battle? DUAL BOXING. Ya'll can't get it in your head that it's really 15-20 players more back than and 5-10 now that use more than one account at once to fight ya'll. It is not 100 pirates like every one thinks it is. Funny US was bragging about barcoa the other day. It was 25 vs 15 and I was very proud that we got that many for being new years day. US/BRIT/DUTCH alliance had more like 25 cause some where out side screening. IF you can field that many you don't need an alliance. US had over 20 total so if they can't beat 15 with 20 than it's not a numbers thing it's a players and leadership issue. Seems the only way ya'll can win any fights is 35+ players showing up and zerging smaller nations. I mean honestly what was the reason for US to take France two ports. None cause the fight was between Dutch and Swedes and last I checked ya'll been holding your own very well without any extra help against the swedes. Some one remind me exactly the last time any one fought the US other than the pirates? I mean they are the largest nation on the server. Brit kinda fought them back in Jul/Aug but they haven't fought since. Again tell me why the two largest nations need to be aligned to fight others? Really don't know why all you carebears aren't over playing on PvE. IF you dont' want RvR than you might as well just go over there. Cause to be honest if there was no Pirates and a few Swedes this server would be nothing but PvE 2.

Yah like trun the hostility mission open timer back to 15 mins or even 10 mins. I'm sorry but having it lock after 5 mins is way to short. Regions are big and some times it takes for every to find some one and if they know your showing up in the area they will just use the teleport to nearest friendly. With that option added the window needs to be pushed back to staying open for 15 mins. If you don't wan to take that risk than don't be in in hostile waters trying to ground up there regions. FIX THE PORT TIMER WINDOWS. Right now US PLAYERS ON US SERVER CAN"T FIGHT IN THERE PRIME TIME. You have the limit for port battles stop and than we have a 2 1/2 window for the PvP event right in the middle of our prime time but we can't have any port battles during this time. I'm sorry if EU complains, but these are global servers and we should be able to fight in our prime times.

Kinda like this and if enough ports in a region goes hostil than maybe the zone becomes neutral and ups for grabs for any one? There really needs to be some type of upkeep system for ports for the natiosn that have way more than they need or can cover.

Can we make this slider create more than 16 freaking barrels at a time. I mean it's not like they take a lot of labor, but doing 16 at a time to make them for things like rum and war supplies is a little annoying. I'm sure there are a few other items that could use for a little bigger slider amount to make. If folks see anything else that should be increased add it to this post for the devs.

I just want to know if and when us pirates will ever get our own mechanics. Either make us nats until that time or let us know what we can expect and when that might be. The out line they have is kinda out dated and very bland with details.

And if your going to complain that you can't fight cause your nations alliance. Maybe it's time you stop being care-bears and break it. You don't have to go to war, but if you can't fight any one than maybe you need to change things. Seems the only ones that want these so called peace are the PvEr's and they shouldn't have so much power over RvR. It seems the game keeps making more and more things to cater to them and pushing more and more PvPers away from the game. As with many others if we go to safe arena matches than I'll prob give up on this game too. I don't play CoD games for a reason and WoT is pushing it for that type of game play.

Nope not going to happen. I started US on PvP1 and it was the reason I moved to PvP2. I'll just leave that one alone and not going through that again. Not to mention the GB/US alliance means there pretty much isn't any one to fight during my prime time so it's kinda boring.

Words of the wise.... Not trying to sound like a broken record, but I got to agree. Every time I hear some one bitch about all the crew they loose in there SOL the first thing I say, "Well don't let them get on your stern." Than I ask, "Did you have any frigate escorts with you?" Clans need a bit more touch to them. Dry docks fro clans would be great and free up a lot of ships that could be put on holds for clan memebers once built. Though some log needs to be made of who put things and takes them out for sure. I would love to see clan flags too on ships.

Maybe we just push you Yanks right back to England?

I'm Pirate, why would I want to roll a National on PvP2? I do think it's BS what they are doing to France by the US cause of the Swede/Dutch war. That alliance is killing the game on PvP2 and going to prob run off a bunch of good players. Though I'll have no problem helping the French get back on there feet and screen for them if we are free. It's what good Privateers are handy at.

I think we lost some numbers in the past cause folks thought it was going to be sooner than the later part of when they might happen.
