admin Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Next content patch the minor fix to timers is going to be deployed (main rework will come with the politics patch) After the patch Lords protectors wont be able to change the timer time any more. If you set it for 6am it is going to be 6am forever until recapture. Please adjust the timers if you think you do not like them any more. After patch hits you wont be able to change them. If your lord protector is not online - ask him to log in and change the timer National leaders with ports where lord protectors do not exist anymore (player deleted) please request changes for port timers in this topic or in private You have approximately 10-20 days before the patch lands, but it can land earlier. So do not wait please 2
Krists Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 If the player has been playing for another nation?
Quineloe Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 What about players who haven't logged in for over a month (as seen in last online in the clan tab)?
Conde Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 If you set it for 6am it is going to be 6am forever until recapture. Please don't encourage them. 2
clavier Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 in pvp1 eu,a lot of harbors have their timer very very soon in the morning, then european players sleep. Is possible to change that for have battle port in the night or journey for european people.
maturin Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 What about players who haven't logged in for over a month (as seen in last online in the clan tab)? Ask your nation's horde of alts to flip the port. I assume that every nation has at least 20 by now.
admin Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 What about players who haven't logged in for over a month (as seen in last online in the clan tab)? ask them to log in the rule states clearly we will transfer the port lord protector to one of the top 3 landowners in 2 cases only 1) lord protector has switched nation 2) lord protector has deleted account (or permanently banned) 1

Is possible to change that for have battle port in the night or journey for european people. In pvp 1 eu, a lot of harbors have their timer set to very late at night, then aussie players sleep. Is it possible to change that for have battle port in the night or journey for aussie people.
woodenfish Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Can we be allowed to set the following on pvp2? Azua (Lanrek) - No timer Barahona (Osscar) - No timer Bluefields () - No timer Carlisle () - No timer El Soco (Osscar) - No timer Flatts (PrAyTeLLa) - No timer George Town () - No timer Jacmel (Lanrek) - No timer Jérémie (Timbo) - No timer Les Cayes (Shephard) - No timer Montego Bay (PrAyTeLLa) - No timer Port Antonio () - No timer Port Morant () - No timer Saint George's Town () - No timer Saint-Louis (Timbo) - No timer Sale-Trou (Lanrek) - No timer San Andrés (HMS Karralack) - No timer Savanna la Mar (Cracked) - No timer Bone Cay (Timbo) - No timer Bugle Cay (The Walrus) - No timer Calobelo (Voodeux Delacroix) - No timer Haulover () - No timer Pedro Cay (Timbo) - No timer
vonKrimm Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) ask them to log in the rule states clearly we will transfer the port lord protector to one of the top 3 landowners in 2 cases only 1) lord protector has switched nation 2) lord protector has deleted account (or permanently banned) whoa! so you believe that just handing more land (i.e. influence/power) to those that will have substantial influence/power under the new lords system is fair and equitable to the players that made possible the port captures? with all due respect, GTFO devs; a flag buyer/planter is not the end-all be-all of a PB i suggest that those ports with lord protectors that meet condition 1 or 2 be randomly awarded to members of the clan they belonged to and if the clan no longer exists in the nation that the lord protector title be awarded randomly to a player in the appropriate nation. Further, I believe that locking ports to timers that are already set is a foolish move; the timers need to be randomized at every port on the map to precluded timer clustering when the lords patch is released. take the south coast of Cuba, the east coast of the US, or Jamaica, those port clusters could have substantially different timers which would allow more contention/conquest to abound. At this stage, letting players choose when timers are set may prove a fatal error for the game. Edited May 2, 2016 by vonKrimm

At this stage, letting players choose when timers are set may prove a fatal error for the game. I belive, you've got this wrong. The port timers will get locked. The nations are able to switch them if the lord of these towns are not available anymore. - Just than! - It does have nothing in common with the potential new system regarding land-ownership. The new system will get along with a total port wipe. The timers are just for the time until the new system will come into force.
hobbes111 Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 I like the idea of allowing an active member of any nation to be granted the authority to set timers for all ports in advance of the patch. I and a number of players are currently playing under the flag of a "Minor" or smaller nation on PvP 2 and have no ability to adjust any port timer as all the lord protectors migrated or have left the game. Please advise if you need a post delineating the actual ports and times, or if it may be possible to simply reset the Lord Protector role for all ports. I will be happy to provide the list, but as I am sure you understand, they change daily.

So do not wait please What is the purpose of this change? What problem is trying to fix? This will make conquest slow to a crawl if not completely stop it, as most nations know when their enemies have the fewest players on, so "off time" timers will be all that we have. If I can not fight Port Battles in my time zone then you have excluded me from 1/3 of your game. If I can not play all aspects of a game I will go find a game in which I can, and I am sure I am not the only one!

Justme Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Seems like this another attempt to restrict players, which I fail to see benefiting anyone. 1
vonKrimm Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 (main rework will come with the politics patch) This is the foundation for what is coming. So, 4 weeks of slow conquest will not hurt anyone. actually it will; to intentionally slow the conquest portion of the game is akin to removing content and will result in unnecessary dissatisfaction among the players. It will be far better to randomize the port timers and keep the current pace of conquest or to even increase the pace than to retard the flow of conquest. 1
Ruthless4u Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Seems like this topic should be generating more discussion, given the potential ramifications and complaints after the fact. Where is everybody?
Thurston Beers Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Pvp1 American ports Saint- Malo and Soto la marina are both still owned by x-USA players turned pirates. I request the change of Lord Protector.

If you set it for 6am it is going to be 6am forever until recapture. After patch hits you wont be able to change them. In one sentence you say we can't change the port timers anymore, then you say on recapture you can on second sentence and then on third sentence you say we wont be able to change them... clarify please Also, why not just do a port wipe instead of having people run around changing timers now or is the port wipe coming with the major patch? Edited May 4, 2016 by PentaStealz
Bommel Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 You can change the port timer before the patch lands, when the patch lands the timer will remain (and not be changeable) untill the port is lost, then there won´t be any timer anylonger. That´s what I read out of his statement. There is no contradiction in my opinion.
