Even an almost top speed surp can have a hard time escaping revenge fleets because 30 sec invis timer is basically a joke; a well spread fleet will get you with ease btw im not asking for a teleport to port - but rather giving players a fair chance of getting away (adjusting invis timer and increasing ow speed while being invisible, as ow speeds are already messed up and favouring the revenge fleeters to set up a trap anyway) Ganking in other MMOs happens regularly, but without the bitter side effect of players being able to setup a revenge trap due to the existence of two dimensions - If you've got a problem with the probability of being ganked, you shouldnt be playing an MMO imo. Didn't admin once say, always be sure in your mind that every time you leave port, you're risking your ship and getting sunk?

If you can't deal with PB revenge fleets, make sure you got enough warp screeners too, or instead dont do pbs? Just shows how in general the idea of having revenge fleets, anywhere, is silly And yea capitals are safe due to the 3 min join timer which even lets ships in port join. However if you want ow pvp you will NEED to be in enemy waters as there is zero reason for anyone to be in the middle of nowhere in no nations water whatsoever - If you are still in enemy waters looking for pvp, you will get called out in nation chat anyway and a fleet will form to welcome you

So ow pvpers should get revenge fleeted, but port battle fleets shouldnt? lol Same rules for everyone please.

Fix revenge fleets (30 sec invis timer is a joke; maybe make a compromise of 45 - 60 sec 1.5 times the speed into any point of wind in OW and invisibility, but at the same time a 2 or more minutes "you cannot attack" timer --- Or maybe even allow logoff after a battle; but then when logging back in to OW have a 10 minute "you cannot attack or join others battles" timer - It works for Port Battles so why not ow pvp? Give players a reason to leave their home waters so players seeking for pvp don't have to sink pve grinding players not seeking for pvp. (pvp event zones maybe?) Bring back a pvp currency which doesnt unlock vital skillbooks / upgrades but with which you can buy paints or other cosmetic things in the future

Tacking through the wind in a heavy ship to loot a sunk ship

I think Skully is right, you simply need to buy the cheapest ship in port for a couple grand - Not really a CutterShennanigans issue this time IMO

I think the decision of when a ship becomes a fireship is pretty situational

I did the pvp events solo most of the times and managed to get on the board quite regularly, fighting other solo captains

Thats not really true; I've had a lot of both 1v1s and 3v3 or similar. You jsut gotta ignore the massive 12 man 1st rate guys; somewhen they will realize they were just wasting time Besides - Ganking happens in OW anyway, but with the bitter addition of revenge fleets - Why not eliminate that factor?

Excuse me? You are assuming all brits to be greenzone campers? lol, dont talk shit if you dont know anything I used to be hunting in mostly french waters all day long before the patch. Just because camping in the greenzone is what you prefered to do for the time you were a brit, that doesnt mean others did so too Besides - I am suggesting to REDUCE content for green zone / revenge fleet campers by having a pvp event zone where people actively looking to fight can battle. Dont give content to greenzoen campers / revenge fleeters. Also - Do you realize the main reason for me to change nation from brits to DK is to be closer to where the OW PVP action happens, rather than being stuck on jamaica, and then would have to sail over there every single time? Except if I wanted to be a greenzone camper I would have stayed brit. But I dont lol - Before patch Brits was fine because you could teleport to free ports - did my hunting out of there - now you can't do that anymore

So where do you 'hunt' to avoid revenge fleets? Until recently I have always been trying to be more or less honourable, as an example, I had a 1v2, me in a cecilia vs two surps, but obviously they chained me to death so they could leave and form up with their 8 mates outside to then 1v10 stomp me. Hence my conclusion, if you don't want to waste hours of sailing in the middle of nowhere to meet the occasional afk indiaman, finding pvp is next to impossible, as national waters are a deathtrap. I dont understand why one would think creating a daily pvp event zone for people actually want to fight each other would be a bad thing. Because in my view, the game currently is a PvE simulator as people cant be bothered to seek for pvp. Can't fix the revenge fleet issue? Just remove game content for them

Its not limited? you can still go to enemy waters if you feel like fighting revenge fleets? oh wait now I get it.. You're not happy about pvpers not coming to your waters anymore in case the event comes back, so you cant revenge fleet them anymore Besides I think it would generate way more PvP than it is at the moment. Many cant be arsed to sail for hours anymore in the middle of nowhere, since looking for pvp in the heart of enemy waters has proven to be pretty much suicide, due to the camping on battle position. Why not let people actively want to fight, fight each other? instead of forcing them to go to enemy waters and sink players not looking for pvp? The odds of 2 groups actively looking for pvp run into each other is next to non existant right now.

How? If you pvp / look for pvp you should know, enemy waters is the only place to be at. and since we will get kicked out straight to OW after a battle, being welcomed by ships profiting from the 75x compressed OW (aka revenge fleets), it often is pointless to even try. PvP event areas would be a nice place to get pvp without that stupid "game mechanic" Where did I suggest to increase PvE in this thread?

How do you tell in an OW sandbox mmo, which slot to reserve for which player, as you sort of set a function to them? Would need a lobby PB mode for that

You're telling me to go to pve server? lol You're saying you want both unlimited open battles (despite having an OW boost of approx the factor of 75), and are looking for unequal battles? To each his own I guess. Easy mode 10v1 roflstomps are not quite my thing. Where is the challenge / fun in it?

Another suggestion functionning as a "revenge fleet workaround": Bring back pvp event area circles on the open world. Why? So people aren't forced to go to enemy waters if they're looking for pvp and attack players not looking for pvp, and by doing so also avoiding revenge fleets. If you currently want pvp, enemy waters is the only place to be, since there is not a single reason to be in the middle of nowhere for anyone. Lets give players a reason by re inteoducing pvp event areas and having special rewards. Other MMos dont have the problems NA has, due to the fact that we have two dimensions, 75x compressed OW and battle instances. Ganking in other MMos happens regularly, such as Gloria victis. However there you only have one dimension, the OW in which also all the fights happen, hence no "revenge fleets". In the pvp event zones, people that actively want to pvp, battle each other. This doesnt drain people away from the other open world because as it is right now, pvp players cant be arsed to seek for pvp anymore due to the extremely likelyhood of revenge fleets. Wheter or not they're a good thing Ill let you decide, but as a matter of facts PvP is extremely suffering due to their existence. We would need special rules for that zone, as in after a battle you get a random spawn point within the event area, which should be doable by the devs and also elliminate any "revenge fleets" in that zone. Please dont tell me to wait for NALegends. I love the game as it is and even do some roleplay now and then. I can imagine NAL to become a bit boring aftet a while without the OW element. So please, @admin, consider. It shouldnt take too much effort to put them back in as you already did the work before. And I dont see a good reason as for why they are a bad idea. They promote PvP between players that actally want to fight, and not ganking some noobs in their capital. Let me know your thoughts.

OW pvp event zone was good. But need special rules for it otherwise will have revenge fleets there aswell. Maybe have a permanent pvp event zone area for people actually "willing" to pvp, rather than forcing pvpers to attack newbs and makr them quit?

Which it wouldnt need if there were no bs revenge fleets catching up with rocket engines:) To the 1st quote: Outside a capital you will never pick off someone solo as capitals are busy and youve got a 3 min join timer which lets you cover quite a range in OW. However if you want pvp you will have to be in enemy waters as that is the only place to where you can expect to find players. And as long as you are in enemy waters you will get revenge fleeted by rocketpowered ships because they will then be alerted of where to camp and wait for the player to leave. In the middle of nowhere I only ever met one indiaman doing a trade run. But personally I dont consider going after only 1 trader as pvp. Give players a reason to leave their waters and give them content in OW to promote pvp as revenge fleets will probably never be dealt with.

Oh and yeah okay. But they certainly didnt profit from rocketpoweted speedboosters to catch the conie, or did they?

Unless they saw her, how would they know? Besides, due to the lack of ow content there is little to no reason for anyone to even be "in the middle of nowhere" ingame. Maybe I was wrong to approach NA as a ow pvp game. Seems like its got no more room at the games cuttent state.

"Over the horizon" and not "docked up in a port across the map and being called for to wait on the exact battle location in a 5th dimension" Also, that is not a revenge fleet but would translate to ships within 3 minutes range to join. Revenge fleet would be if the java called for fallout constitutions to come beam across and take on their poor brother.
