Happened again just now; seems to be happening when starting to repair - I had more than enough crew to reload a broadside, while the other was fully loaded, but they just didn't move an inch

How is it wrong to say that if you want a 15 knot frigate you can't have white oak or anything similar, and pretty much need all of your perm mod slots and even some regular ones to be +speed?

I'm not trying to defend speed hardcaps lol Just saying, for a frigate to reach 15 knots you will have to sacrifice a lot I'm all for percentage caps

Human nature I guess, always try to do as much as mechanics allow you to tbh personally I would rather have good pvp with no rewards / risk all day - real reward being actually getting to pvp

Again, Surprise's base speed is significantly lower compared to the reno, e.g. requires more speed mods (or a lighter wood type) in order to reach the speed In general, if you see a Frigate is not as fast as you, that's usually a good indicator that he's not set up for full speed / light wood but rather tanky - As you've pointed out, Reno's BR is lower, and small fish are supposed to run from big fish, if they know they're outmatched If the Frigate is going 15 knots aswell, go give it a try as you know he can't be that tanky after all

you take a "pvp combat order" - Sink enemy 5th rate, 200k reward - have an alt in that nation, buy the crappiest 5th rate you can find, sink yourself, get the rewards - It doesn't even need to be an alt, just need a few good friends in other nations and let them do the same on you

I suggested some sort of a lobby system (before NA legends was announced) where you could queue up for a battle setup of your likings (BR and ships wise) and get a notification once an opponent (or as many as you asked for) is found - Imagined those battle to be without any rewards / losses, just to get PvP going, should be enough reward, because that really is where this game is shining - But didn't get much attention; I guess that's what NA Legends is going to be PvP Combat orders with heavy rewards as you're suggesting here are going to be incredibly vulnerable to Alt Abuse.

I've had it happening again too recently - Not sure what's causing it

Thats the nature of an OW MMO - it was suggested before to standardize the signaling perk and tweak it for the defenders but people didnt want the OW to be balanced.

You can still make a frigates life really bad when in a reno. And dont forget, for a frigate to reach 15 knots you need crappy wood eg. Cedar / cedar and a lot of speed mods while a reno can be teak - white oak and still reach the 15 knots with ease In fact yesterday I had 2 frigates and 1 pirate frigate running away from a 1v1, while I was in a reno

your rigging seems a bit ... holey YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR RIGHT WING.mp3

because people brought up a valid point that you should not have to quit playing an MMO game due to not working game mechanics - Other MMOs have tons of ganking but dont have to deal with the phenomena of "revenge fleets" because there are no two dimensions of which one is 75x+ compressed Also I suggested to bring back a standadrize (and maybe even tweak it, so def side could bring in 15 - 20% more BR) signaling perk for ALL battles which would stay open for ever so the old 5v1 ganks near a nations capitals would get somewhat reduced and punished - But people didn't seem to like it as they didn't think an OW in an MMO should be balanced - Fair enough I guess

really? lol IMO, the current best sort of compromise is to increase invisibility to at least 45 sec and also increase the speed during that invisible time, compared to ships that did not just leave a battle - OW speeds are messed up already anyway and are favoring lazy people by camping on a exact battle position, abusing the OW speed buff - but at the same time have a 2 or more minutes "you cannot attack anyone" timer so you cant use the invisibility timer as a cloaking device

soooo you think one time use ships are ok ? have 1 good fight, leave to OW, get revenge fleeted, get a new ship

To then get revegne fleeted

I'm pretty sure every big rvr clan owns enough alts to make sure the marks stay in their hands ^^

Was just sort of confused by your statement that the more numbers can join a battle, the better , because "it's an rvr game", when its a sandbox

How can that be a positive thing? "Yay im part of a 50 ships blob so doesnt matter if I dont perform well" Oh and naval action isnt strictly an rvr game - its a sandbox. Back in the day, portbattles isnt the only thing that happened. And lets not forget that there was also a time before the OW.

Smh

90 minutes max battle length is actually not THAT long - if you look into how long other games such as csgo or LoL can take It will most likely also depend on the amount of captains in a battle, a small 3v3 - 5v5 frigate engagements should have lots of actions and not last as long as a 25v25 - I'm just hoping and assuming it will be possible to choose the size of the battle, rather than everyone being thrown into a 25v25 lobby until it's full

I think the main issue is that the vast majority of players are only okay to engage PvP when they've the upper hand; been like that pre wipe; now it's even worse when getting a ship ready for pvp is much harder - Why risk something you grinded for so long in a decent odds fight, for practically no rewards? Anyway, my hopes for Arena mode are high, so if you want a quick good fight you can get that there, rather than sailing for hours in OW to finally meet someone not even willing to fight in decent odds - but rather leave and make sure they can 10v1 stomp you lol
