It's not the fault of the attacker if no one shows up and defends.

Good to see you back for a couple weeks bud!

As a participant in the PB, I can honestly say that the majority of the general SORRY members were not aware of any pre-arranged battle with the french, myself being one of them. I can't speak to what was done behind the scenes. I wasn't aware that something might of been amiss until someone mentioned a ship had no cannons on coms. But hey, I kept shooting afterwards. Perhaps some of us should of left. I'll accept whatever comes down the pipe. I haven't even been on EU 24 hours.... PS - ratting on your friends is still messed up.

Regardless of what happened in the battle, leaking private steam conversations is some shady shit @Liquicity. Especially if you call Donner a buddy. I can't even read what it says, but that is some seriously poor form mate. Shame.

Hey Bud. for the time being we're staying global. hit me up on there if you'd like.

I hadn't even noticed until you said anything. So not only did the global server launch get completely botched (no merge, no true wipe, lazy rename), it isn't even fully unrestricted. Unbelievably sloppy.

The majority of us are vets and know how to make money. Your average new player will be utterly swamped and overwhelmed. The most common question in nation and global is why can't I equip my cannons. Its not self explanatory. Requiring all cannons or none is stupid. It's absurd how complicated it is. It seriously gets asked every 15 mins Prior to this patch the new player retention was abysmal. Seems like @admin doubled down and made it even worse.

ah @Aventador the thing is, night flips are just the recent excuse in a long list of them. These snowflakes are never happy and their current level of glee has an expiration date. Fact of the matter is, they don't like or want us on THEIR server. Those pesky Americans always mess everything up. The global server setup was intentionally sabotaged, populations screwed up and us trump lovers exiled to off to St Helena to die. Give it a few months and some infighting between the EU rainbow land and things will go back to what they were pre wipe because nothing about the game fundamentally changed. The rat race remains the same as it every was, only this time admin is making us run it all over again with a handicap.

This is fine, but I am curious as to how the resource locations are chosen for distribution. Doesn't seem like we're going for historical accuracy here.

Please note I said ONE OF THE LARGEST producers. Difficult to actually find using googlefu. Historically cuba had some and of course south america.

So no coal for the US nation even though during this time period we were one of the largest producers (and still are unfortunately).

Have you considered revisiting the idea of capturing NPC ships? Perhaps not letting the players actually capture and use, but auto selling them to the admiralty similar to what you did with 4th rates and above prior to the patch. Obviously not at the inflated levels they were previously, but in the system currently there is no need to actually board an AI ship and capture the cargo intact. Sink and loot while she's under the water. Zero risk. Seems kinda stupid that you can sink a ship and still loot it. Should be one or the other right?

Funny thing is historically coal was found along the US east coast and haiti. This isn't even historically accurate.

You try to come off as an intelligent person Klooth. Perhaps you are not one. Gloating 6 hours after the patch goes live however is beneath you. PVP Global is US based and it is currently 2 in the afternoon. We're not going to have peak numbers until later. Continue being a dummy.

bump a roo

Yea he doesn't play anymore and hasn't been on PVP2 in over a year. So does that mean we're shit out of luck?

Actually they said that PVP EU 1 would be merged with PVP 2 and turned into Global. Location TBD. A new server would be created and named EU. From what I remember no deviation from this was made public

[VCO]Voodoo Shipping Company The point I'm trying to make is players like myself are now forced off PVP EU due to timers and have to start over on Global. The least you could of done was make everyone start over fresh. So we've just been kicked off our server that was our home for over a year and as a consolation prize we have to start over completely, unlike the players that get to remain. This could of been fixed simply with a redeemable of 100k or something like that.

No where on that post does it say neither server will be fully wiped and existing characters and clans will remain. This is just for XP sync. All you have to do is sink 1 ship to sync. Really @admin?

In the grand scheme of things it's not a huge deal, but I know myself and others would prefer to have everyone treated equally on all servers. If you're going to force folks off one server or another due to timers or ping the least you can do is make EVERYONE start off fresh. Create new players and clans. This seems shortsighted and further feeds into the belief shared by quiet a few that US players were getting kicked off EU 1 intentionally as punishment for night flipping (aka seeking content in their time zone).

I guess. Would of been nice to know this beforehand, I would of setup the clan and stuff prior so I didn't have to waste my first 100k grinding in cutters to set it up, meanwhile players who weren't forced off their server don't need to set it all up again.

I thought so. The servers were simply just renamed. Anyone that can't connect to global due to ping, but can't play within the port timers of EU is basically given a big FU from the devs. So sloppy.

right. I thought they were going to assess locations for the new global server to help out with ping universally. Instead PVP2 was just renamed global and devs said "meh".

Feedback I'm seeing on the discords indicates that neither server was completely wiped, characters and more importantly clans, still exist on both servers as they were before. This seems a bit unfair. Any player that was previously on PVP EU 1 and is now forced off due to the PB timer lockouts and now has to play on PVP Global (aka US based players) now have to start over and create all new clans. Vice versa for the players on PVP Global that would prefer to play on EU. To quote @admin So both servers weren't totally wiped. No new EU server was created. US based players who want to do RVR are now forced off PVP EU 1 (PVP EU) and have to restart on Global. So it seems we were correct and US players were forced off. Each server was just simply renamed, seems lazy. The least that could be done was to completely wipe both servers and have EVERYONE start off fresh. Why wasn't this done?

I'd say a weeks notice wouldn't be terrible. Anything is better than 3 months notice that a wipe is coming....
