Apologies, for some reason I had koltes in my memory when it was you who set it up.

I see where you are coming from but I really doubt a torunament is going to have any serious impact on OW traffic. Players are already now meeting for organised battles to have SOME fun, because finding random hostile targets right now has become tedious. Good point. Will have to work on that. For now I'll let this thread open for a while to get a general overview whether or not players are interested. If it seems like it's worth setting up all the rules / match times / whatnot, I'll open up an application thread and post the rules, which we could discuss beforehand aswell, there.

For Now, Legends is 1) only up on weekends, 2) has an average player population online of about 3 and 3) there is no Custom Battle lobby planned from what I can tell - And gladly this Naval Action game is a sandbox, allowing players to be free and create content themselves Please, if you are not interested in it, noone is forcing you to take part.

After watching the recent duel between @Peter Goldman and @White Squal I remembered how entertaining it could be to watch others play live. It gave me the idea of setting up a tournament - To my knowledge there has been one proper tournament so far, I know @Christendom wanted to organize something similar for the Global server but not sure if it ever actually happened. I think it might have lacked participation, that's why I am making this poll - I think playermade regular tournaments could be a great content alternative. So here are the questions: Would you generally be interested and willing to participate in a playermade tournament? What size do you think the battles should be? (1v1 / 2v2 / 3v3 / ...) In what general area do you think the battles should be held? (La Tortue / La Navasse / La Mona / Other) At what timeslot do you think the battles should take place, in servertime? (17.00 / 17.30 / 18.00 / 18.30 / 19.00 / 19.30 / 20.00 / 20.30 / 21.00 / 21.30 / 22.00 / 22.30 / 23.00) Do you think there should be a prize money, resulted from participation fees? (No / Yes - 500k Participation fee / Yes - 1M Participation fee / Other) Maybe we can even have some special prize items provided from @admin's side, given the winners of the first Tournament also received (at that time) super rare Blue Prints and Ships. Please provide some feedback on wheter or not you are generally interested in a tournament, and how you would like it to look like.

You need to claim the contract instead, deleting it will result in a loss indeed

@Sunleader oh wait. He put us all on ignore He'll find this thread sooner or later anyway

Sorry aber wenn du nach PvP Schutz (zusätzlich zu einer Schutzzone welche mal eben die gesamte haupt Eco der meisten Nationen covered) auf einem PvP suchst - bist du glaube falsch

well the reason for why we even are able to go that far and vote whether or not there should be a BR limit in PBs is because PBs are now fully controlled by clans - Clans will have to discuss which member is going to sail which ship internally - if a member is not happy with the decisions he will eventually leave the clan and look out for a better one. And clans will probably want to evade this, so they will try to keep it fair - at least thats an optimistic point of view ;p

Eeeh I wouldnt be too sure on that.. sure a lone 1st rate is very vulnerable but when working together and protecting each other they will quickly make firewood out of the frigs i think a good balance between firepower (damagedealing tanks) and manouverability (supportive frigates) will be key

Clear double yes from me

Tagging someone in the reinforcement zone and then complaning about the lack of Reinforcements

New game coming up doing exactly that - Naval Action Legends - Closed Beta atm, could use some more players. PM me if you want the key.

Nope - but the battle indeed was pretty close, turned into several little skirmishes. Next time i'll record anyway so I can rewatch it and learn^^

Wasa note is no BluePrint - Instead it gives you a crafted ship - You just have to choose the desired woods.

tbh I dont even know why you treat me like im that much different ^^ in Port battles its much more about general decisions e.g. in what direction the fleet should be directed etc... And its not like im invincible, lose some / win some...

On my ship there were just some basic upgrades ^^ No cartagena nor carpenters.. I indeed joined them for some rvr action because the last time I actively did them was at the Sant Iago campaign by the brits (glorious times) and Ive found the actual PBs to be pretty fun - Although I messed up in todays battle, could have saved Redii but realized too late By the way - I've just come to realize how many things a Fleet Command has to keep an eye on at the same time, so massive respect to those in charge. Maybe with the new nations we'll see a new big, organized counter force to the current swedish organization... I believe the GameLabs twitch account today said on a twitch stream that next week there will be another "letter" (google translate from russian), maybe some more info regarding the new nations. I would definetly be up for joining and building up a new nation that can deliver PBs on a regular base - Also seen some promising discussions on this thread, mixed PB fleet setups might be coming up soon

Obviously you're not supposed to go in full-retard-mode in a surprise without any backup - only logical consequence is you getting demasted. A surprise could group up with a couple of friendly 3rd rates to gang on a few hostile 1st rates - and stick to its stern. You'll have to work together as a TEAM to accomplish anything. Sorry but are you new to this game?

If you ever followed it in more detail you'll notice I was not "crying" about the loss of the ships but more about the fact that such a stupid game mechanics as revenge fleets could exist And now they're fixed with the invis., a recent poll showed most players like it as it is. Compared to some other players I craft / get ships to use them Not to just let them rot in port Anyway this has gone offtopic now. Keep your toxicity for somewhere else please.

lol mate I've lost hundred of ships in my 4200+ hours of playing the game, incl. lineships in the early days - but got tired of them. Not really a challenge anymore to build them now with the reduced costs and gold being so easy to get.

Sounds like you should widen your horizons a bit.. I think it could be very interesting to get variety in PBs - Gotten very boring to keep seeing the same old 25 v 25 Victory Vs Victory battles. Frigates can be a pain in the ... for lineships, of course you can commit do demasting them but then you'll be lacking the firepower onto the enemy lineships...

? Right now the BR available is not limited, so logically you'd want to get as many heavies in as possible. But when there is a BR limit, e.g. 10'000 BR, you can't take 1st rates only anymore, so you'll have to figure out a nice mix of Lineships and supportive frigates, since 10 1st rates would most likely get wrecked versus 25 3rd rates (just an example)

Can it be, 3rd rates getting a use again?

very true, and what about giving the clan controlling the port more control over the port battle type, e.g. make it so a small clan can set a PB to 10-15 players per side, and maybe even some BR mixing in that..? Some players said that this suggestion of letting the clan decide the PB size would be nonsense because you shouldnt be able to tell a big attacking force outside a port that they magically can't join a port battle.. But there currently is a game mechanic which limits it to 25 already, even though sometiems there are way more players outside ready to join action. So basically its just a suggestion of adjusting an existing game mechanic, nothing totally new.
