In my opinion just the poeple who are our victims. It should and has to be something that effect us and not them.

would you care about gold/ xp / whatever when you know you will have a fight for sure with a rate >80% in the green zone? I wouldnt care. Captureing gives no marks no xp no gold. I dont care.

Wont solve the problem that people will still be hunted in their rooki zone (because thats where players will be so to find ow pvp you have to go there). Therefore nothing really changes. People / new people will still lose everything and lose interest in the game and leave. What we need are frontlines. so staying behind the line means you might be more than safe. Getting closer to the line means you might be safe. Going over the line you are not safe anymore.

It looks like when you dont have your ship active the stuff in hold isnt calculated. Indiaman loaded: 11.6kn base speed (not active = pic 1) Indiaman loaded: 9.88 kn base speed ( active = pic 2) Indiaman empty 11.6kn base speed (not active + active) no difference

They can. It's just rar. I saw an AI on test server losing 30% sail hp while on fire (not exploding)

Nice, ships on battlesails look much more majestic in battle compared to full sails.

What is really done for new players? I still can't see it. They will still be hunted in front of their capital/ safe zone. Thats where ow pvp player hang around. They dont care about dots or port ownership or resoruces. These changes are all about RvR that is when i quote admin just a minority of players. Where are the changes to keep new players into the game? Please explain it to me. What will change for new players?

I believe the problem is the map itself. we dont have a spiral galaxy which would make things easy.

What is done against vets returning to "safe zones" and to hunt new players? Its in our habit. As long OW excist we know at a capital are players. We may not need the towns but we still know there are players so we will return and hunt them. So what changed for new players? Nothing?

What about alts?

@admin what is now the difference of clan vs war company? They are equal except that clans cant capture ports? Doesnt make it them a fake feature this way? There has to be more difference in war company vs clan

What about Kidds Island? Why not make this the pirate Capital instead of Nassau?

Its a fake feature while it offers fake protection. 2 real players can easly fight the 1 player and the one AI. They just sink the one player and leave the AI alone. At the moment AI is no compensation for one real player especially when its the same BR and ship. Add a perk or something like that: When you are in national waters the battle stays open for longer time period And a help message is sent into Combat news..

I always thought freetowns are french towns because of the white flag.

@admin remember the idea you one had with land permits? Every participant gets a land permit to build a port building in the conquert port. Maybe its time to resurrect this idea. Like war companys can build port bulding. Such buildings produce resources which get added to the store. The war company can set prices or at least gets a fee for the said goods.

yeah i would consider war companys as hardcore endgame content as well.

Regarding war company numbers biggest company could rule the server. Maybe let the Attacker or defender or combination of both decide which size the portbattle should have 10vs10 / 15vs15 / 20vs20 or 25vs25 this way even small companys would have a chance. Therefore the rule for battlesgroups could be changed as well that a battlegroup is only attackable by the same force (numberwise) regarding screening when carrying a battleflag.

When you are not in a war company you have easy mode. Only other nations will be able to attack you at the OW all ports will be accessible (or at least your national ones which cant be lost) . The only thing you have to worry about are taxes. There is no need for national alliances anymore. This hole war company clan war stuff is about to seperate RvR players from the rest. Its proven that only a small percentage of players is really involed into RvR. But that few can ruin the game for many. So with that changes all RvR intrested people can challenge each other without to interfere with people who are not interested into conquest. The only point of contact are the taxes.

I like wipes. its at least for me the best time while everyone is sailing small ships^^

When it will come to live servers? @admin Before or after Unity5?

Capitals just could buy and sell newbi stuff. No contracts are allowed or just certain. So new players can get used to how NA works without vets exploiting them. There should be no reason for vets to hang around the capital.

That was exacly what I was thinking as I read the opening post. Be in a clan = easy mode Be in a war comapany = hardcore mode (endgame content)

yeah could work

Please consider: Dont make capital regions player controlled. Thats where new players start and get used to the game. I fear that vet players will capture capital region and palce horrendous taxes there while they stay far away with their own cheap taxes and use the capital region as milkcow. You have the data @admin do new players move a lot? how long the stay in the capital region before they move out to explore? How long they need to get used to the game? New players should be protected. Because of that consider to not make every resource available at the capital region like it is now. PLayers should get used to the building and crafting system but then they have to go out and seek for resources. In my opinion that currently a huge problem of the game. For a beginner the game should focus around the capital but Vets should get pulled away from there.

You forgot: 12)Danes got more ports as pirates. 13) Pirates delcare war to danes
