for the love of god.....why are pvp marks back in the game. It was an alt farming fest last time....it's an alt farming / ganking fest this time. As long as there are special items that you can purchase that improve PVP, players will abuse mechanics to get them. If we have to have PVP marks, make them for cosmetic items only. Paints, flags....ships names.

We have a pretty bad friend (alt) farming problem on global. Name names please

if this thread and the past ones are any indicator, I'm not so sure the server is better of. You might be, but 1 nation is still holding the others hostage. ^ well deserved my friend

so......by this statement night flips were fine and the US players were just doing what they needed to win? Yet you complained endlessly about how unfair and damaging they were. The hypocrisy is dripping off of you sir. Much shame. #servermerge

soonish I hope. I got a fireship with @Jon Snow lets go's name on it.

Not really. I get my daily dose of sveno/rediii hypocrisy drama from the forums, but I will admit that gets stale sometimes. rediii lacks to personality to be a proper villain.

nah, you fellas are some real bad hombres.

wheres @Bearwall and @Intrepido? I need them to keep spinning that yarn that there is zero toxicity on the EU server and 100% of it went to Global after the split.

To be fair, that Lake is called th ball sack for a reason. Missions are convenient though

Correction, outlaw battles were fixed. Too OP. But tagging friends isn't.

Part of the battle. had to dip out towards the end.

Don't make daddy angry guys!

sounds like an agreement between allies, which I believe is allowed in the rules. If they're not farming each other for hostility, I fail to see an issue.

This game isn't a twitch FPS game. Don't be dumb sruPie, you know the difference. If you're waiting until the last second of boarding to be the definitive way to beat your opponent, you're doing it wrong. Anyway arguing further in this thread is stupid. Enjoy mediocre boarding :-)

Nah. If you're dependent on last second attacks, you're shit at boarding. It's all about making your opponent use up their prep and knowing when to risk yours. Ping is a crutch for those who don't understand how it works. I was just as good at 180 ping as I was with 80.

Bad boarders think it's all ping based. It isn't

It's actually more about managing your prep and making the opponent mismanage theirs. I was a good boarder on EU with 180 ping and I'm a good boarder on Global with 80.

Devastating night for the US. Pirates won the Islamabad PB. Pretty good brawl. US ignored the circles and went right for the sink. We kited around to group up our guys, focused fired and won fairly easily. Good fight though US. -------- Then the real holocaust happened after the fight where the remnants of the shattered US Ocean fleet was trying to get back home. They didn't make it. I'm also told a brit screening fleet was lost before the battle, don't know the details. Good fights to the US and Brits today, we managed to slam in a shit load of action for a smaller server.

While you guys might of snagged a vic of ours on the way over, it was a stupid mistake to reveal exactly what you were bringing to the PB. You brought the beef to try and win the brawl. We brought ships to maneuver around you. My only regret is not letting you guys cap the bottom circle quick enough, we should have had another vic off you in there. The problem with the BR pbs, and I touched on this in the patch thread, is that there is zero incentive for the defender to want to engage in the brawl. All we had to do was simply bring more ships and kite around while you racked up points. In a port like Georgetown in 1st rates, the time it took for you to enter and sail down to the bottom circle or even the far right one was about as long as we needed to win on points. It was almost a no win scenario for you. The new changes make it too hard for the attacker to win I think, we'll see after the results from a busy sat on the EU and the FR VS BLACK PB tonight.

and some of you guys used to brag about all the toxicity being gone when you exiled the US players to global. This thread says otherwise. With all that salt being throw at poor Graf you'd of think he was night flipping the swedes. Well done gentlemen, good work.

A little personal feedback for @admin Successfully defended a port tonight on Global, Georgetown with not even max BR vs a full BR 1st rate and assorted fleet. Unfortunately my recording screwed up and I wasn't able to save the battle. We brought in a little beef, some wasa's and a couple fast ships to hold and deny circles. We straight up slapped together this group with some random joiners, alts and whatever we could teleport in that would fit with the BR. We pulled the ole Swede kite maneuver. Brought the 1st rates who were trying to brawl downwind to where they were not threat to us and then sunk their top group they were using for mortar brig protection. My only regret is we didn't let them have the bottom circle soon enough, we would of been able to sink 2 more. This PB was uninteresting and the only challenge we had was getting there on time and avoiding their 10 person 1st rate gank fleet outside. The new BR PBs and the new circle ship deny mechanic make defending ports absurdly easy. While I believe that it should be harder to attack then defend, it's overwhelming slated to the defenders. Needs to be adjusted. While I'm a proponent of the BR system for PBs, I'm not exactly sure that 100% BR is the way to go. Maybe bring back a hybrid of the old system and BR? Or maybe have a PB be a randomized comp of ships that only appears after the PB is set? Bonus after the battle. @King of Crowns died for country and his buddy made a worthy donation to my ship garage.

Actually the days of kiting are back. with a vengeance. We successfully split and kited the GA 1st rates throughout Georgetown. Astonishingly easy victory. We went in there with alts and bullshit ships.

I enjoyed where a good stern rake would knock out an opponent from a PB or a fight. Similar to repairs, there used to be strategy and consequences to how you played this game in fights. Now with unlimited repairs and crew, there isn't. I've been in situations where i've killed a 1st rates crew twice over, it's absurdly stupid. Unlimited crew, repairs and nearly free wasa's have kinda turned PVP into a routine. The lack of variety now is so boring. Bring back the older system, 1 hull - 1 rig - 1 rum use (or bring back press gang). Get rid of the speed cap. PVP would be 10x better.

The new repair meta / speed cap has basically killed the role of smaller frigates in PVP. At 14knt Wasa with unlimited repairs makes for very uninteresting PVP. Bring back the old system. 1 Hull / 1 Rig. There used to be strategy in working down an opponents sails or hull or when to pop repairs. Taking down a mast used to be a knockout punch. Not to mention it's incredibly unrealistic. I'm pretty sure Nelson wasn't repairing masts in the middle of Trafalgar........
