I was honestly asking how you handle rebuilds now, because you guys are still without worthy regions. But ya, I could see that you don't sink much, but I was cornfused with how often you say you battle when way outnumbered, yet still have ships. We Dutch just have some work ahead of us. I don't imagine we will up and quit, but many of us are indeed awaiting the patch. So our enthusiasm is a bit low for the moment.

I have done the same for Sweden, yes, Sweden. And i even helped a pirate a while ago. Its character that matters, and Van Der Decken is a person of great character, he like I, are just frustrated that you jsut flat out lie, you are worse than American Politicians. I love how you constantly say we lie and never give any proof and we constantly give proof of things that you lie about with screen shots to back them up. I really think you have an issue with knowing what is real and not in your little world. I never had an issue with vdD other than his math sucks most the time when dealing with numbers at fights but that starting to be a common thing among the Dutch on here. 30 minutes ago, van der Decken said: Hey mate, I wasn't asking for the props, but I do appreciate it.

If you go back and look at the screen shots even when they out number players the US/BRIT/DUTCH realy don't push a fight unless the other guys come out to fight them. I seen many port battles won simply by capping B and C and never going into "A" Just look at the screen shots he post. Normally there is one or two guys that go in there and he caps them. It's sad when you out number some one 5 vs 1 and he still sinks one or two of your guys. Oh and do remember France can use Dane/Swede ports too. Well now Swede and Spains. I'm going to bet the alliance will be back with Dane next vote cycle. I think all the nations have work still to make this server better, it's not one person job. We aren't trying to bully and tell ya'll what to do or how to play the game, but we are telling you how we got our numbers back up. It's wasn't by sitting in port hiding and having a care bear alliance that only attacks small nations and fights when they out number the other side. There will all ways be those type of players, the majority is going to be the casual players, with a small number of hard core PvPers. It's the fact you need to get the casual players involved and active to get your numbers up. When I ask new players or small clans most of them say they want to fight, they just don't want to be crushed by 1st rate RA's all the time. Well the only way they are going to get equal fights is to prob fight other nations. Give them the fights and you will get more players active and involved. Let them into the fights, stop telling them to stay out side. If you don't want them at first rate fights than give them fights they can ship. Make more 4th rates and shallows. The only way to do this is more folks than one alliance has to own those regions. In a perfect world I would say something like US/SPAIN (they need of there own first), BRITS/DUTCH, DANE/FRENCH/SWEDES would be a nice three way balance in the game. Pirates only currently help FSS cause they are the little guys, we only had (our clan) an alliance with the Danes cause it's been handy not having the nation at your back with war with you and it will all ways remain. Though we have made it very clear if we get the nations fighting each other OW and port battles we will be very happy to stay with the regions we own right now and just screen the port battles for PvP. Hell I'll be the first one in front of those US vs Brit port battles if they ever happens. I won't say which side I would be tagging, but than I"m a pirate so prob both...lol The biggest problem we have on this server is to many set in there ways and won't even try new things. How you know it won't work until you try it, cause apparently the current means isn't working and it's slowly falling apart. Try something new. You might find out it works out hell a lot better, or hay it might be worse and you can say I told you so and go back to your old ways. Edited March 8, 2017 by Sir Texas Sir 2

You sound very much like the anti US players on the EU server. The location of the servers if to give players better ping, it is not saying that is the player base location. Many folks in SEA/AU can't play on the EU server cause the ping is insane. Have you ever seen the screen shots of the actually Chinese players. They are playing with pings up around 600 most the time. NA is not very ping heavy honestly. Before switching to a stronger internet provider I got around 600 ping when I went to check out PvP1. I had no symptoms that were common in other games that are common with high ping. Granted when I got a spike and ping went up closer to 1k is when I had issues. Also like to mention along with your statement that this server is not just for US players, which I agree with, I would also like to state that even though the server is called PvP it does not mean that this is only a server for PvP but rather that the server is open available for PvP as an option. 1 hour ago, Sir Texas Sir said: I keep saying over and over when folks bitch about the Danes. Stop attacking Pounce and SD and I bet you they will go silent again and just do there thing, but until you stop attacking there two major econ ports they won't be silent any time soon. I actually like playing against the Danes. Definitely more than playing against Pirates. Only thing I do not care for is them helping a bunch of racists. Find their actions supporting those two no better than the actions of Zhang Haipeng (張海鵬). It is also unfortunate that their times do not match up with the majority of people because they are real fun to play against and to watch them play as well. The best PvP players on the server. 1 hour ago, van der Decken said: With MaccCap being a Rear Admiral, you'd think he would know better. Yeah when we were still GB I told him to slow down and actually work through the ranks rather than under crew a ship and rush through. We did spend time to help him out and attempt to teach him. I know I taught him tacking twice but the next day it was the same thing of not knowing. Also someone stated they are surprise that the Dutch are short on a few supply items and ships. Could not find where it was stated however. Basically I can vouch for this. When we came over to the Dutch, (Something I continuously suggest to others to do to improve other smaller factions), we had to abandon a bunch of our ships, I lost half of my gold trying to help fund others in the transition, and some of our resources are liquidated. The Dutch veterans have been attempting to help us out as much as they can. Been a bit of a struggle with Swedes going after Cartagena twice in the last few weeks however, not to mention even though we have a bunch of options to go to other ports owned by our allies the distance is quite a bit. Frankly, I wont travel that far any time soon. Done enough long distance traveling in late February to last a few months. Id rather just drop the game till it all blows over than to travel the distance to get required resources again. Edited March 8, 2017 by Davos Seasworth

I'll beg the difference about the ping. Try to demast some one. Remember when we caught you and the other guy out side Marsh Habrour. One was completly made combat ineffective by a grape and the other ship was demasted. Try that now with high ping it's hard. While Jean in our group is very good at demasting he admits he couldn't do what he does on PvP1 as easly as he does on PvP2 cause of the Ping (he's an SEA/AU player). I play around on PvP1 a lot when I'm bored to check out things like this. For me it's not the 120 ping (and it's more like 150-160 with spikes of up to 400-600) that I would get on any other EU server that kills me it's the spikes of ping that kills me. A great example of how ping effects folks is watch the two videos below. Olav has great ping compared to Jeheil (AUS players) on EU and you can see the delay. Some times that delay is something that could mean leaks, hit or miss and such. I actually like playing against the Danes. Definitely more than playing against Pirates.

To be honest I think swedes and that little group should be dropped by every one so a Dane/French/Spain alliance would be more healthy. But if you have grievence of actions of players like that report it. Sooner or later they will get kicked from the game.

We have a few in Pirates that been around for ever and still have issues. Hate to say it this is why there was so much grief with Mumbo Jumbo as he would broad side folks and ram into them all the time and do stuff that just pissed folks off. Some players are just bad. We got a few old retired guys that suck like hell, but they are the funnest guys to roll with. Don't expect them to save the day, but they will give there hardest even if they spend half the battle stuck in irons or going the wrong way...lol

I will make it clear here and now, the spanish players do not wish for an alliance with the US, British, Dutch, or pirates. What I WILL make clear is that we are open to region agreements and open world pvp. I may be biased, but spain having 1-2 extra regions really wouldn't hurt anyone. We believe that adding more allainces, especcially to those that are next to us not only causes boredom, but also doesn't give spain any place to properly expand. We thank the generous players who are helping us grow, and similarly to the french, we are growing and eventually we will enjoy pvp with everyone on a more equal playing field. ----------personal viewppoint-------- I think the currently pirate/dane/swede alliance/friendship (whatever you want to call it) is now hindering the server. To be more clear, I do not want any nation "one ported," and I believe at lot of the current politics happening with pirates and their current rivals are very much being muddied by old hatreds and borh sides have to realize their faults I don't think it's going to change, but honestly the pirates don't need to meddle with the dutch and the conflict down there, the dutch have a good population to fight france, sweden, and sometimes denmark...they do not have the manpower to fight the pirates.

Can't find a screen of Caracas so not sure what your talking about alts/potential alts your talking about. Do you by chance have this? I do know OCEAN's stance is only to defend FRENCH/DANE ports during the off hours (US prime times) that they Danes can't come in there large numbers. It's a way we are trying to keep the PvP going and have fun since every one is ignoring the pirates when we scheduled fights there for a while. I think the win on Little Harbor helped get folks back into the fights on the US/BRIT side. Which I was expecting us to loose that one and wanted to do a trial shallow water fight cause many of us haven't fought shallows in so long. That and a few players almost refuse to play in small ships. There lost but they better not complain when there is no fights cause all they want to play is SOL's.

This could still be abused cause you can have the one region nation do all the attacking and all the alliances nations join for the fights. Even worse is the folks ignoring us are attacking Dane/French/Swedes instead of fighting us back. So what we do is hit them where the alliance hurts.

There were a few names in OCEAN that were exactly the same as some pirates like JPSSX2 (something like that) and a few others. None of them got into the port battle I believe.

I stopped hunting pirates and told my guys not to bother which most of them followed suit quickly to avoid even attempting to look for pirates in OW pvp. Two reasons. One, whenever we did find pirates they tended to be in SOLs. Secondly, most of the time we just found them camping a port and just waiting till they have full advantage rather than going out into open waters and hunting. Granted not every pirate is like this. I know Privateer for instance has gone out in small groups with 5th-4th rates. looking for fights, which I loved. Is it tedious with the low population?

At start it was actually 13 vs 25. US/BRITS did a great line at the start and we had bad wind. Kinda a repeat of when we took this port. The difference than changed. It become a big brawl as normal in these fights. A/B exchanged hands a few times, but the honest truth as the screen shows is the kills won this one. 3 lost on pirates side and 19 lost on the US/BRITS Edited March 9, 2017 by Sir Texas Sir 3

You dont understand the Shallows because it is the only place on the server that you can get even BR fight every single time. If some1 tags a Trader on the US Side they the US can pile in 290 more BR into that tag. But We can too. Most battles are way even, But because US run to forts and tower even when they have greater numbers they learn nothing or less than nothing. Some are catching on like Pike, Blue Note, BluFalcon, I have a list lol. Look at that Battle Last night they did every thing right after your Line broke to stay alive and inflect max Damage on us. I give Blue Note and BluFalcon Props for a well fought battle. Yes they Sunk but you can look at Vid they knew what they were doing was wrong but Still did it. And I am willing to Bet those 2 can tell you too the very second when things started to go bad and they out numbered us 25 to 13 at that point it was a rookie mistake done in the Shallow all the time.

You want to get better, you need to fight and not fight folks weaker than you. I admit I suck pretty much at 1 vs 1 but I work better as a group. Shallows have helped me get better with the 1 vs 1 when I have them. The thing that sucks in the past most of my 1 vs something was not even fights. I been jumped so many times by 5+ players and add in they all have AI it gets old, but every one goes through it and the cool think about the Rookie area is that it limits the BR and keeps the AI out of it. AI is a big crutch many old time players still use and wonder why they keep loosing fights out number. Cause we know they are a crutch and use them against you. As for the PvP most of us get tons of it mainly in the shallows. It's the guys that refuse to go into the shallows that are the ones that get bored. That and hate to say it your never going to get all the guys on the same page. It actually makes the old time clans look bad when they never come out to fight except for Port Battles and it's only the new guys that come out to counter grind and fight us. Those are the guys that are learning and getting better. While the old timers are still pretty much sucking the same as they did 6 months ago.

I wouldn't go as high as 95%, but for sure the majority of these guys aren't noobs.

To be honest the Danes are just a little larger than the Dutch and pirates on active players, but they are only active in the SEA/AU times with those numbers. We aren't so it would be the same as any one else 5-15 vs 20 or 20 vs 5-15 in certain time zones. Why not ya'll get off your arse and get your alliance players to show up in there off times unless your saying all your SEA/AU players in US/BRIT/DUTCH are a bunch of care bears? You just can't get it in your head that like the Danes your only fighting about 15-20 guys with a few to fill in. While US/BRIT/DUTCH could field prob three port battles if they stop the fighting and bickering between all there clans and just get off there arse in prime time. I bet they can field one full team and some extras in SEA/AU prime time too. Instead of encouraging folks to fight back you tell them to hide and stay out of fights. Than the guys that do fight and counter grind you tell them to stay out and let the big boys fight. This makes since for 1st rates, but you don't even bring 1st rates to those fights. I think if I was one of the small clans I'll tell you guys to shove it if I been grinding and counter grinding and join those battles any way. The older clans of US/Brits are what hurting them. CKA, NPG, and IGG. I have no beef with the Dutch and undrstand they are small, but ya'll did declare war with us and your part of that allaince (well not with US currently) if your allaince is so good and important they would be over here in numbers helping ya'll. 1 hour ago, Norfolk nChance said: Sir Texas, I might have a shallow surprise for you fella... Hopefully before the weekend. ELITEs new fleet is the SHALLOW YACHT GANKERs... now be careful which Carebear you Hug some have Teeth.... Norfolk... I like surprises, well not the prison sex types, that never fun I hear (never been to prison). I'll be honest I don't see ELITE as a bunch of carebears as ya'll fight back. We been noticing a great inprovment in the guys that we been fighting on the east coast, shallows and other places. So like I said you want to get better you need to fight and not just AI. 1

To be honest the Danes are just a little larger than the Dutch and pirates on active players, but they are only active in the SEA/AU times with those numbers. We aren't so it would be the same as any one else 5-15 vs 20 or 20 vs 5-15 in certain time zones. Why not ya'll get off your arse and get your alliance players to show up in there off times unless your saying all your SEA/AU players in US/BRIT/DUTCH are a bunch of care bears? You just can't get it in your head that like the Danes your only fighting about 15-20 guys with a few to fill in. While US/BRIT/DUTCH could field prob three port battles if they stop the fighting and bickering between all there clans and just get off there arse in prime time. I bet they can field one full team and some extras in SEA/AU prime time too. Instead of encouraging folks to fight back you tell them to hide and stay out of fights. Than the guys that do fight and counter grind you tell them to stay out and let the big boys fight. This makes since for 1st rates, but you don't even bring 1st rates to those fights. I think if I was one of the small clans I'll tell you guys to shove it if I been grinding and counter grinding and join those battles any way. The older clans of US/Brits are what hurting them.

I have no beef with the Dutch and undrstand they are small, but ya'll did declare war with us and your part of that allaince (well not with US currently) if your allaince is so good and important they would be over here in numbers helping ya'll. So basically, you want to force us to play by your rule of "play against better nations", yet you won't play by your own rule? Instead you want to just keep beating up on nations you know you can beat all the time. FFS, why don't you just beat up on New Spain, too? Hell, we all know you guys are gonna take all gold and silver ports just to bully everyone like you guys always have in the past. So have at it. You want to bitch about other nations flipping empty PBs, what excuse will you guys make for yourselves when absolutely no one ever plays against rats? How much fun will rats have in that? I hope a lot. About your comment on the alliance. Not all alliances are created to gain something from them, but rather some times to prevent shit from happening. Something like, oh...say, getting hello kittyed in the rear by rats, Danes, Swedes, and French....and in the face by Brits and/or US. So lay the hello kitty off with the carebare alliance crap. It's the same shit with US and Brits. YTF would they want a damn DP from the Quadalliance and another big nation? There is no sense in that. So people ally with their neighbor so they fight on only one side.

So people ally with their neighbor so they fight on only one side. Cause YOU CAN"T GET IT IN YOUR HEAD. We won't pick on small nations. With the alliance YOU ARE NOT A SMALL NATION. You are the three largest nations in one alliance where US/Brits should be holding their own without each other. It's not our fault ya'll bicker so much and can't get your act together. If you don't want to loose your Silver/Gold than get off your ARSE AND FIGHT. It seems ya'lls solution and y'all have admitted to this is if we ignore the pirates they go away. Well that isn't going to work. Hell if your going to ignore us than we are going to take those ports you don't deserve since your not going to fight for them. Than we will give them to the small nations that do currently deserve them. If you spent enough time as you do on this forum than you would actual get things down in game. So why aren't you out there counter grinding those ports right now? Oh cause yoru not going to fight the pirates, but instead your over there flipping a swede port when you know they can't field the numbers. Yah you go there US/BRIT/DUTCH. I bet you I know what port battle ya'll are going to show up to...lol As for the Spain we are helping them, but in the future if they get big enough we will fight them. Until than we plan to help them grow. We prob going to start taking ports and giving them to them. Cause apparently no one else wants to help them grow. Though I do think in the future we will fight on the OW and hell prob going to do that any way when we cross paths. We have no agreement with Spain other than we will help them get ports and grow. Even that isn't even a formal thing. What I love is folks just don't understand how hard mode pirates are. 1) We don't have alliances like every one else. 2) We can't have other folks join our port battle or join theirs. 3) While we can join nations battles if they are open (signal flag and Shallow ROE) but they can not join ours. All the while it's only 15-20 players beating the crap out of the three largest nations (and yes I'm going to count DUTCH as top three cause they still have more than French and Spain). So if ya'll are going to be a bunch of care bear cry babies when ya'll can field over 40+ players (little harbor last weekend) and I know 50+ (Last Kidds PB) in one night than ya'll aren't hurting. Ya'll just need to get organized and your crap straight. Prime example of this was the port battle the other night. Ya'll had over 25+ players cause you had guys out side screening. We had 13 and than 19 by time the tagged guys got caught escaped and joined. You got your arse kicked by players that was totally out number. The reason is prob cause ya'll can't get along with each other and you don't fight. The guys that do good are the guys that have been out fighting us. I bet they got blamed for the failure at a port battle ya'll had superior numbers. Just like Wilmington we where out number, just like Savanna we where out number. The issue is you guys hide and not fight so you can't win easily against a team that fights every night and fights hard unless you get out and fight yourselves. I'll give you some advise vvD.....go play on PvE cause basically that is the type of game you want. If you don't want to loose ports/regions than FIGHT. Stop complaining about us doing what the game is about.

PIRATES DON"T HAVE ALLIANCES. See above. Just cause we have a verbal one isn't the same. We can't join there port battles and they can't join ours or our OW battles. All we have is a truce to not fight each other. No one is saying US/Brits have to go to war, we are just saying give guys the option to fight some one other than pirates. Cause apparently we are so OP they have to hide from us.
