Custard Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 @Teutonic Thank you for the updates it is good to see some adult level of communication Regarding your point about 2 Nations fighting a common enemy and what happens next those two Nations have been told incessantly that they are not good enough to fight Pirates and they should fight each other to get good enough, as Pirates have now effectively given up guess we fight each other Difference is we will not be telling each other what we should do Game on

Really has nothing to do with the 3 on 1 or persistent battles outside Mort or LT. If anything those keep me playing. It’s disappointing seeing the population ebb and flow..mostly trending downward week by week. Even before KoC and his sunshine band of alt abusers started their reunion tour people were losing interest. I personally dislike the gank vs gank style of pvp and would prefer to just roam around looking for other solo players or small groups. Unfortunately we don’t have the numbers for that style of pvp. The constant gank outside of torture isn’t healthy for the server, regardless of which side you’re on. 1
Custard Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Numbers have been consistent since I started playing again you were British then There is only one person of any nation going solo against the British and that is Metastatic Disease you are a wannabe
Hodo Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 The numbers on both servers have been pretty stable lately. EU had about 620 yesterday and the Global had about 190-200 I think. I can say that the RvR thing has always been boring to me... so I just sail around in a cheap ship and hunt.

Global very rarely cracks 150 if there are no pbs. Yesterday 140 was the highest.

This Mort/LaT gankfest keeps up, it is a repeat of the Charleston gankfest that took server pop levels to 80. It is no fun defended night after night. Defenders quit and pvp crashes. Interestingly, it fired up right after substantial PvP rewards were introduced.

I wasn't a fan of the ctown ganking or whats going on outside of LT

I wasn't a fan of the ctown ganking or whats going on outside of LT I have said all along, you don't have to reward PvP. It happens on it's own. You certainly don't need to have best in game upgrades come from it. This is a game of skill. Have basic upgrades and let skill decide it. When you take skill and add top tier upgrades that lower level players won't get... well that is a recipe for disaster. 2
Simon Cadete Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Hey indianageoff what’s your name in the game because you talk a lot but I never see you in battles. Maybe you use a different name. If you don’t you sure have a lot to say about a server where you just don’t have the relevance to do it. Unless you play under a different name of course

Teutonic Posted November 14, 2017 Author Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Carriacou Port battle (don't remember limit) Sweden vs the United Provinces Outcome - dutch win defense AAR - i was not there but from what I hear the following happened. The Swedes came with 4 santissimas and the french successfully screened one out of the port. Reports say the swedes made a crazy call to scuttle their own ships so that the french outside would not capture the 1st rates which made the job easier for the dutch within. The 4th santissima which survived the port battle was then subsequently captured outside by the French. Resulting in the swede fleet sunk and the french/dutch fleet holding their ground.

Unless you play under a different name of course I play when I can. A lot of nights I have an hour or two so if I find quick Defense duties, Hostility or other PvP, I do it. If I don't find it quickly, then I'll PvE or craft/trade run. I save big blocks for Port Battles when I can, but I don't make them all that often. We have been on opposite sides and you will recognize my name if you see it. Not that your point has any relevance. I play the game the way I enjoy it. I am not sorry if it does not meet your standards.

Sir Texas Sir Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 La Navasse Port Battle Just got over with wasn't there but some one posted the screen shot so I'll add it over here. 1
Christendom Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Navasse stream. My setup was a little weird and I'd skip occasionally....gotta stop mining. Pirate Victory Not really sure what GBs plan was. They deployed A wasa and buc upwind at C. We sent a surprise there to harass and deny points. Sent 4 wasas to take them out. Brits deployed the rest of the fleet downwind at B and our wasa group went in to harry and kite. I'm thinking GB expected us to send everything downwind to sink the bucs and they would just come in and cap A and C while we fought upwind to get back. Poor choice, if you're going to bring beef to brawl....then brawl you must. I think they expected us to no show and weren't' actually prepared for a fight. Relatively easy win of kiting and outplay. Thanks for coming out GB > 1

If your going around with four trade ships and not escorts and your getting ganked every couple of days it's your own fault and yes we have had a few guys complain about it every couple of days. They are the same guys with only one or two slots open and still think they can make more money trading than just running a few missions and opening up those slots. They also cry when they can't get there ships to do the same as us that have open up our slots. You want a 15 knt ship your going have to open more than one or two slots.

Teutonic Posted November 16, 2017 Author Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Rincon - 2,400 BR Limit French Vs Pirates Outcome - Pirates successfully Defend AAR: From reports, it sounded like it was fairly even in terms of the fighting, but the point game was in the pirates favor. France decided to bring a heavy Buc fleet with a small support of lighter ships whereas the Pirates decide to bring a Wasa Fleet. France had the intentions of holding 2 of the 3 circles and then forcing the pirates to face them in order to create a brawl. It seems the pirates decided to contest the circles and use a part of their fleet to hold the French up while they took control of 2 circles. at one point or another it seems the Pirates were able to force the french off the circles due to the power of the Wasa 2 gundecks. Thoughts: I believe if 2 of the Bucentaure were dropped for 3 Wasa and an extra ship this would have been an even closer fight and possibly a French win - but that's just looking from an overview perspective and not someone within the battle. I do enjoy the Circle game play now - it forces engagements but also allows for strategic decisions. The Wasa (and the Buc to a lesser extent) needs a Br adjustment for sure, but seems both sides enjoyed the fight. That's what we are all looking for in the end, some good fights to be had.

Teutonic Posted November 17, 2017 Author Posted November 17, 2017 Perdenales Swede vs french "nightcrew" Outcome: france defends Barbancourt himself was able to hold the swedes off from getting 1,000 points for the entire battle. Resulting in a successful defense. He reported that the swedes came in at a terrible wind position and that probably cost them. No sinks, only the loss of repairs. 4
Christendom Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Some good OW fights tonight. Almost a flawless victory. Props to the US players who came out and risked the big ships. Unfortunately i didn't have my mic on during the stream. Edited November 18, 2017 by Christendom 1
Jarlath Morrow Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Man, those Agamemnons are getting a good test in PVP. Haven't seen that many Agas in a battle in a long time.
