  1. Ah ! I won't deny you but some of the streams i've watched from PvP2 were actually... not...exactly that scenario being the black flag folk fighting against the odds.
  2. Awesome. We all have to put stuff out of our chests sometimes, guess the veiled content of the thread ( not the screenshot itself ) is one of them. Feeling better now sir ?
  3. One screenshot doesn't cut it
  4. Unsure to be honest. Was not focused on opening one of them.
  5. With PvP everything is so ...more...extremely less...grindy. I sincerely hope that is the entire point as focus on OW is the word of order. So the more outside the more pvp there will be. GOOD !

  6. PBs do work. I did see two open some days ago and one was actually won.
  7. I remember it was a special one, with schooners and sh*t
  8. Where's PG... need a certain screenshot
  9. Sorry to step in but going to play for France after the wipe in Global and hopefully there will be no major language problems.
  10. Correct. Characters will be stand-alone per server. No synchronization between different characters in different servers.
  11. Signaling allows friends that are sitting in port to finally grab their guts and join a battle. OW tagging circle doesn't care about fairness, just what ships are in the area, and is quite big ( made a mistake earlier, it is 2 min average speed radius, 4 minutes diameter )
  12. Player could pay his own bounty as well to free himself from charges. Reset of bounty paid / collected is a must. ( I'm taking fully on Elite system here, which to me works perfect. We did run bounties quite high and at a point was nearly impossible to even enter enemy systems as all the law forces and their families would be jumping on us )

  13. Thonys, captains were expected to engage the enemy even when in disadvantage of cannon, total. Let's leave it like that. That's how far we are regarding game and reality.
  14. Number 1 - It is solved already in testbed. No trouble from that. Number 2 - We would need a ULTRA/MI-6 level of coding to know who's talking in TS, etc. Anyway, listen up... IF something like this could be implemented, I am sorry to say, it cannot be player driven, unless we stick to National News and role-play driven. Taking on the best Bounty system i've played: - Bounty increases on a linear scale regarding actions ( attack on traders, warships, etc ), say XXX gold per attack, plus XXX gold per kill/capture, plus XXX gold per cargo value. - Bounties are two levels - faction and region - meaning any player would have a bounty put by faction and an added bounty per region where the deeds have been perpetrated. - The higher the bounty the higher the chances for AI to attack, escalating to a point where it is a constant threat to that particular hunted captain. - Upon destruction or capture of the offending captain, the bounty is fully paid and the value reset to zero. Added goodies: - Each Port has a board with the top bounties being offered by the Nation and top bounties being offered by the Port - two levels of bounties This, de facto, would work as a "infamy" meter of sorts.

  15. It is a measure of timescale transition. Do not twist the main request for battles being looked upon, and not about "fair" fights as flying Squadrons are drawn into the same instance and from a fair distance, 2 minutes OW sailing at average speed. Full circle diameter is roughly 50km even if assets are not to scale We agree to disagree that scale is important and travel time is even more important.
  16. Define treasonous act in the Naval Action sandbox, please. That could help.

  17. Yes. The timer is there. Couldn't test with a open and running PB though.
  18. I do not envision needing any more keys. Simply the strengths acting on the sail plans being more appropriate. OW is a different system iirc, not so complex.
  19. Why keep scratching the wound !?... Many of us will go to Global and keep our conviction of a unified server without acting like the rear end of mules.
  20. So many of us will play Global and are already over that sentiment. We are discussing separate boards not acting "marriage counselors", pun intended.
  21. Yeah, might have been delayed because... National News reasons. Second sentence is a hell of a assumption
