Sir Texas Sir

It wasn't down per say last night, but man we been getting hit bad by lag and it's not all of us either. Though it seems to happen to guys in battles than the guys not in battle. Where you out side the circle? Hell you might of been leakign and not know it but when you went DC it stopped trying to stop the leak. I went out side the circle before and as soon as the clock was over I filled right up. Though battle can last longer than the clock as the circle gets smaller and smaller real fast.

Thanks for removing them. Maybe folks will find them like I did in the middle of a storm bottle hunting lol

Yes and that gives you the general area. I have no problem with him saying there are islands out there, but giving folks the exact area to go to kinda is a spoiler. I'm pirate and my first time finding them was when I was bottle hunting not when I was actually looking for them. Some of us don't want to know the exact spot so we can find things. Again just asking the OP to remove the coordinates of the area of the island is al.

The only way I would support a capital move would be Kidd's Harbour for pretty much that reason. Get us out of the PB mentatlity and make it extra hard for them to take our last region. I really hope the new Pirate mechanics are going to be more like a raiding system when we get them than what the Nationals have. Than that way they can have little pockets that are allways pirates and are pretty much free for all danger zones to enter since they can't be captured.

Not to be a dick, but can you please remove the cords for the hidden islands so they stay hidden and not every one in there mother just knows. It was kinda a fun thing to just find them accidently when I was US. Hell even the pirates can't see them. You kinda take that fun out just telling every one where they are. I did hear at one time they might put some more in. Remember they mention earthquacks and new ports with this patch. Would be a good time to slip a few more hidden ports in under our nose.

One way to control the number of ports your clan can support is to have maintaince support cost that you have to upkeep. If your clan can't keep the resources to upkeep 1 or more ports than it goes to defualt and another clan can take control of it. This way if you don't have like on PvP2 where US has most of the ports and they aren't doing anything really with them. The ports they don't support and upkeep go back to being neutral or none clan owned.

I can see why to keep one clan from rulling all the ports, but maybe it could be they take over a region not just one port or they can have more than one port. Size might depend on how many prots maybe? It's hard to make it balance for the litttle guys.

I think it's been hinted at a few time and might of been the concept they where going to try with the Lord Protector/Govenor thing.

Devs have said that is in the plans for the future.

Kinda like how The Division had the starter area Brooklyn part of NYC and than after level 4 you head over to Manhattan and the rest of the play is there. Though for now I think the Bahamas work great for such an area. This way if you have any friends that want to join the game you can meet them in that area and us a small ship with them to help level up and learn.

To be honest if I hear one more crappy national player say, "YOU MUST BE HACKING." No you just suck at playing the game. You fight PvP like your fighitng AI. That is why you keep sinking. Shooting my sales while I blow holes in you and sink you isn't going to win. Shooting my broad side with chain isn't going to get you any where. Shooting the water....well lets just say your prob not killing any fish either. Show one proof there is HACKERS and than I'll believe we are more than OP cause of our skills compared to yours......SO YES PLESS NERF US CAUSE WE ARE HACKERS.

Yah they don't have PB's as is so they won't have them after the patch. There is a reason we tell folks to go look at the PvE map when you want to see what the game map looked at when every one started pretty much. Cause no one can take any of the ports.

To be honest showing every one in game or even nation would cause even more problems. People don't want folks to know there alts and such. Though I do wish there was a better way to do in game friends list or even have friends from other nations. You use to be able to add folks from other nations but now you can't. Some times you might want to catch some one to either do trades or make things work out in game that aren't players from your own nation. That and why does the player in have on ingore can still see what I say. If they are on an ignore list neither player should see each others chat. Now one thing I would like to see is GROUPS location and actual ranks of those in your group. Like instead of just saying Harbor it tells you which one so you know if they are in the same one as you and just getting ready. Many folks don't even know what the ready feature does if your in the same port. Seeing there rank is nice cause than you can judge if they might be under crewing that ship in your group and maybe get them into something better for the missions or fights. Though these things might all ready be in the actual game UI as we are using a place filler UI presently.

It's been mention to do a ship tag/log of owners so you can tell how many hands the ship been through. Makes you wonder if you capped a ship of a capped ship of a capped shipped. This is more for the 1st rates since they only have one 1 dura.

Every one is at war with the pirates though so it doesn't mean much. We just leave folks that don't attack us alone. But seems they are going to help the Dutch so hay now we get to play with them. I was in a crappy mortar brig so couldn't join, but i heard some mates had a good fight with a few of them. I would prefer to keep it to the OW any way. More fun that way. I'm sure we will cross swords in due time. Need to get ready for the map change too, that will put some french right in our front door.

We where talking about this last night in clan TS and I noticed something that fits in with what the devs said. I got a feeling the BR limit in that area will be 150. This will allow three Brigs or like ships. Or 5-6 smaller ships like a cutter or Lnyx. Brig, Snow and Rattler have 50 BR. Though it will allow for 2 Heavy Rattler, Mercs as they are 70 BR. You can get one Niagara in the fight with something smaller prob. If this is going to be how the system work it's going to be interesting.

PvP2 going to be interesting seeing every one grab land since they are one of the smallest nations. I think the swedes are the only ones with less ports and they only have one.

Well it seems a group of them are joining the Dutch against us. Looks like the hands off french just went out the door. Going to sink any one that I see now cause of that. We where going to leave them alone as long as they stay out of the fight.

Would be cool if we do get port raid system some day and it can even be clan vs clan as a pirate...lol Yah seems like a funky bug. F11 that thing....but for now we can pretend we got Pirates VS Pirates back.

Than ALPHA testing isn't for you man. I done tons of testing and most games do complete wipes before live. They are going to let us keep ur XP Ranka nd Crafting ranks. That is way more than any other game I been on that might of gave you a title or a skin for your help testing. This is why I level up so slow cause I would take break off until new content came out and only play like a week at a time between each patches until recently a month ago I gotten really active cause there is so much mroe to do and I'm into PvP and PB's now which I never did before. I think the content is looking really good right now, but for some it might be just to pop in and see what is going on every patch until release. People forget this is an EA ALPHA testing so we are testers here for them until the game comes out. They don't have to give us anything right now or even on release/live. All we did was pre-order a game they are letting us Test and help create better content for. Every game I been on that had a good player test group turned out good on release compared to those that had little to no player feed back before release. Even if they where closed testers. Also remember this game is a very small dev team and we are helping them out big time by doing this testing for them for free (well actually WE paid to test instead of getting paid). I would be just fine with a complete wipe at release to be honest and start on the same grounds as any other new player. Though I understand this is there way paying us back. Though I just hope we get more than just a basic cutter to start the grind at at Max rank. I done that as a Lt Com when I switched from EU to US server and grinding with a Basic Cutter blows at that rank until you get the credits or capture a bigger ship. And I did that switch back when you couldn't capture war ships.

Devs have said they plan to allow us to use the fleet's cargo's in the future so we can load up a trader and escort it our selves. We just have to wait as it's prob not something on the top of there list. Though I do think a SOL restriction from fleeting would be good for sure, but than I wouldn't have so many easy undercrew targets out there. To me when I have a Trader the AI is a hinderance cause you go on the OW the speed of your fleets slowest ship and if I'm tagged I can't just leave them behind and run or I loose my crew. Though for now if you want escorts get some clan buddies or just ask in chat. We have escorted a lot of traders simply cause it's a target and can get us PvP out of it protecting them.

Fixed that for you as Nyrtle wasn't part of UNKN but he was WATCH. There are still members in US that are in that clan. UNKN kinda has died out it seems and I switched to BLACK. Prob can say you got a good bit of catching up on things in the last month that have happen.

Would be nice to see more French that isn't the rare once in a blue moon sighting.

Well good to know that I can sleep in that morning.

Yep they are pretty much super frigs that are more like 3rds than 4ths
