  1. First of all, I can't wait for the Flag DLC to become available. I hope you release it soon. This, and paints, are the best kind of DLC. I have a question about the Danish flags though. That "West India Company" flag, what is the source for that? I ask because I have been collecting symbols and icons connected with the historical Danish West Indies and the Danish West India Company/Vest-indisk Guineiske Kompagni/etc, that I could find online, and I haven't come across that particular flag before that I can remember. Most of what I have collected of heraldry and symbols for the Danish West Indies and the West India Company are these: Logos/heraldry of the Danish West India Company (Koninklijke Deense Verenigde Westindische Compagnie) Then there's this flag: And this, that I don't really know quite what represents: This one is close to the one you have in the list, but they seem to be a different kind of heraldic animals, and with "FF" in the middle. I've found nothing connecting this to the Company, but I haven't really found a connection to the islands either apart from the text on the images.
  2. "You say you don't like PvE? Here is that PvE that you ordered. *throws it in face* How do you like PvE now?"
  3. Sorry, I guess I should have anticipated that there are some that are kinda slow. Here, I added some discreet arrows for your benefit:
  4. How will people get repairs in freetowns to do PvP when there will be no sell-contracts for repairs?
  5. Too many premium ships will drive away customers and not be a net gain. Cosmetic DLC are much better. As I understand it, devs have indicated that there will be more flags coming than those who are going to be in the DLC. It may very well be that they have had the same idea and will implement special flags that can only be gotten as rewards for specific achievements, or looted in various events. Keep in mind, one option does not preclude the other.
  6. There is clear precedence that scuttling ships is allowed, and consensual green-on-green is allowed. As the rules stand now, there is nothing here for the Tribunal to judge. If you want to change the rules, make a suggestion topic. If you want your enemy to fight back, then don't gank. If you gank for easy PvP-marks, then do it better, or expect your enemies to seek any way to deny you your prizes.
  7. Atm trading in OW isn't working even within the same nation. For several days it has been broken. Every time we try to trade repairs with each other the trade freezes completely after you accept the trade.
  8. I want to say that we really should be able to see the dlc-flags of anyone carrying it, friend or foe. It's going to be mightily confusing to begin with, having friends and enemies both carrying a range of flags and not all the same like now. It's going to lead to a few stray broadsides I imagine. It's not going to be the first time I accidentally sank a friend with some well placed leaks though. And we will get used to it. Moreover, recognising flags and knowing what they meant was a vital part of the Age of Sail experience. A good captain should quickly come to recognise what ensigns belong to what nation. And if they don't there's still the red colour of someone's name in the upper right corner to know you're targeting a foe.
  9. You can only see flags of your nation in whatever menu where you choose what flag to carry, or you can only see flags (variety) of your own nation, period? I mean, if I'm in a battle with Russians against Prussians: Will I be able to see any dlc-flags carried by players on the Prussian side? Or only the dlc-flags carried by Russians in the battle? Also: What if we join a battle that's ongoing between two other nations? Will we retain our DLC-flags in those battles, or will we carry the standard flag of whatever nation's side we join?
  10. (just like we did when we helped Danes against you. Also, you joined Swedish side even when they had more numbers)
  11. Don't play the victim when you hit first. I don't mind the fight, but let's be clear who started it.
  12. We were just looking for a fight, just like HAVOC at Bani x2, Coquibacoa, etc. Don't try to pretend you didn't choose sides long ago. Brits and Swedes want to ally? I never expected any less. We were still having a discussion about who we were going to hunt around Fajardo when I got your message asking us to back off. So naturally you made our choice easy.
  13. Battle against Britain outside Vieques.
  14. I don't think you can draw a clear and unambiguous line for what chat violations rise to a level that they require the attentions of the tribunal. Speech is too abstract for that. Previously all chat related tribunals were immediately closed without fault, with reference to the rule about in-game reporting only. Some months ago admin created precedence, and clearly stated, that the most serious of chat abuses (i.e. death threats/threats of violence/doxxing/antisemitism/racism) should be brought to the tribunal for faster resolution. I'm not sure Gregory's topic should have been closed, but @Henry d'Esterre Darby made a general statement reminding about the in-game reporting function (though it was already noted in the OP), and he also stated that he referred the case up the chain of command. I'm not sure that more can be expected. Devs can look at it and reopen the topic to reply.
  15. You appear to be contradicting yourself here. Unless you mean to say that you both like the way it is and also want to see it changed. But then the constructed dichotomy seems misplaced. I like the idea of being limited to 3 repairs (or perhaps even less) per battle. However several consecutive repairs without cooldown in-between would be a terrible idea in my opinion. Then you might as well go back to the old system of 1 repair of each type per battle and just buff that repair by 200%. "Instantly" restoring to full health heavily damaged ships is both unrealistic and not a gameplay improvement. Also, those small mistakes that you talk of can turn a battle one way or another, those mistakes are exactly what PvP is all about. The mistakes you make should be severely penalised by the game. There is no do-over in PvP.
  16. I was late for the main event at Cartagena on Sunday, but I managed to get into some scrapes nevertheless: First battle: Second battle: Third battle (sinking the last survivor): A small highlight, sinking 2 Victory in 2 minutes with a total of 68 leaks: The Victory can be a lethal weapon if you know how to use it, or a deadly trap if you don't. Video of both battles: Second and most exciting battle starts at 28:15:
  17. Take comfort that most of those British ships never saw their homeport again:
