  2. Hethwill, the Red Duke

  3. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Got two sets, so can jump anywhere and then back... you know... just to waste them
  4. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Thanks Ink.
  5. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Damn it... hurry up, you need to save me from these savages, they won't allow me to surrender...
  6. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Correct. But remember that redeemable Rear Admiral rank doesn't account for the knowledge whereas if it is a newcomer "grinding" it goes hand in hand. Still can be eased a bit.

    Drama, not for sure, but opportunities to just hear the guns roar ?! Hell yeah. Let's see how much OW PvP comes out of it or if it is simply PvE / PB... ... would be a waste of such a lovely game wouldn't it ? ...
  8. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Damn it, if you guys don't do it then I will...
  9. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    ... In any case, we should make arrangements and write the surrender papers.
  10. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    We should surrender....
  11. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    I surrender....

    Funny thing is the more population there is the more viable a hardcore option is as there are more options to steal what has been stolen, to sink and to get sunk. Low population recovery makes hardcore harder due to lack of targets so yeah... just sweep and go. After a while everything looks the same and all traders are alts. Gank or no gank this is the raw truth.

    A rout. That's what happens. 90% of the time.
  14. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    So, if I am in a Pickle schooner and get attacked by a Belle Poule. Is that a gank ? If a LGV is attacked by a Cherubim and a Lynx joins, who is ganking who ? Equal matches can be fun but lack memorable stories.
  15. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Correct. Regions are instanced and replicated as needed.
  16. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Specific tasks gave way to specific ship designs during the age of sail and culminated, well, with the classes we have today, give or take away extra class due to airpower. Hence a raider will go in, attack where it hurts ( usually the pockets, but in game it has no global sense, just individual ) and disappear as fast as it can.

    So no excitement of the chase or the rush of the escape, the glory of beating the odds nor the respect gained if beaten while having the odds, no more exhilaration while escorting a trader during a raid, or trying to take a prize back to safe haven ? Gotcha.

    Hence why facts ain't opinions That's why I usually say that mechanics are blind.
  19. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Universal is that we all hit Sail knowing full well of the options in play. Or do we... ?
  20. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    I mean any region, with the maximum entities in play AI and PChar ( groups stay together) and once it hits the top it creates another copy for more slots, and so on. If it is possible considering how NA is built and considering the upgrade to 5.
  21. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Unwilling combat and without a definitive advantage ?
  22. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    I think the papers were temporary and that switch is planned in a different way ? Also, during this stage, sure, would be nice to see population migration at least to have a barometer reading on why people change, majority. It is fun to switch nations with every huge update.
  23. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Heavier ships won't have the closure rate hence the prolonged timer will simply shift early advantage to the fast ship anyway, won't change a thing Would be like flying a bird which not so good of a climber trying to chase a zoomer... will never ever work.
  24. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    ... a full region ? Asking if technically it is possible. Multiple instances of a entire region to accommodate several maximum numbers of entities in real time environments.
  25. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Yep, 5 seconds tag timer. 90 seconds join timer. Just for fairness sake, wherever in the world the encounter might be. "Protected waters reach as far as the guns"
