Slim McSauce Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Can't say I didn't see it coming. The clan has gone quite literally "ROGUE". THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED CLAN WARS. Again, a window of what's to come without the very necessary in-nation clan wars. The worst part? Even if we do defend successfully, we still can't remove TDY from control of the port as they demoted ALL officers. Game breaking exploit that shouldn't exist.

Corona Lisa Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Let them take it and retake it. We had the same problem with an inactive clan which didnt set PB timers. 3

The Rat Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Dont defend LR so the traitors are the owner of the port .... and take the port back

Slim McSauce Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Just now, Jon Snow lets go said: Let them take it and retake it. We had the same problem with an inactive clan which didnt set PB timers. That's not a solution. We knew this prior and we couldn't do anything about it because the game doesn't let us. This is intentional manipulation of mechanics, the same as alt abuse. It will only get worse from here as more people catch wind that that a single clan who holds 2-3 ports can completely screw over their nation without reprisal. THIS is why clan wars are necessary. For this exact reason here. Edited February 1, 2018 by Slim Jimmerson 2
Slim McSauce Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) The last port that is lost to this exploit. Wondering what will happen if they use their alts to keep the clan warehouse full, and not try to take the port from us. We have an open port on our coast indefinately that we cannot take back? This is alt abuse at its worst. Edited February 1, 2018 by Slim Jimmerson 1
SS Minnow Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Would national clan wars cause more problems than it solves? Would changing the "Available to All" mechanic be less complicating?

We cannot attack these ports. This is basically the peak of alt abuse, I hope the devs do something to prevent this from happening to all nations. Nothing worse in a game than exploits and abusing ruining the map.
Christendom Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Not a very difficult solution. Assuming the ROGUE clan takes the port this evening you can just re-grind it up and take the port back. This is only a 2 person clan and they cannot possibly defend it, regardless of time. The russian clans will not defend. If ROGUE does not take the port we will grind it up again this week and MAYBE VCO might let you guys have it back :-) 3

Wait until its Sweden, Britain, or one of the other big nations who have a main clan remove their officers and open the port to all without those nations being able to reclaim ownership. It can and will ruin the game. I thought we were past this type of abusive play.
SS Minnow Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 We are referring to the case when enemy nations just decide to leave it open and never attack it...lol its already fixed.
maturin Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I'm sure Spain would take this port for you. They make a small profit and let you have it back.

We obliged them by taking Hat Island, we still haven't given it back. They had their vassals the danes and king of crowns flip the rest for them. Instead of whining on the forums you should be on your batphone trying to get Russia or Spain to flip the other ports for you before RUBLI decides they want to be closer to their feeding grounds. Just a thought

That's all we can hope for at the moment. If they are unwilling to help then it's a huge loss for the US, demoralizing to lose ports out of your control.
SS Minnow Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Yeah, it sounds like enemy nations would get to greedy to take an undefended port rather than coordinate leaving it open..so I am not convinced it is an exploit type of problem...just a challenging situation. 1

Exploit as in, (going off a wild guess) this was not intended to happen in fair play. If we had clan wars then this WOULD be fair play, as the affected nation has the control to reclaim these rogue ports before they are flipped (if they are flipped, or just left open for pirates) But no. A nation affected has to rely on another nation to pick up the proverbial integrital slack, which is no guarantee when there is all to gain and nothing to lose on their part (we're all at war after all) I just wonder how long until this becomes as common as regular alt farming, or battle hiding. Once people get bored of their nations, or bored of the game, they can easily ruin it for the rest of us by destroying the composition of the map with relative ease. There has to be a safeguard to this. Edited February 1, 2018 by Slim Jimmerson

Just get someone else to flip the port for you, let them take the port and then take it back by agreement. Clan wars? - Then just drop nations all together, any pretense (whatever that's left) of historical context and while we're at it - a better map for the gameplay. #Globalserverfailedsohardsoletsalltestitalloveragain

Guest Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 This week on "Anything goes unless admin says so".
Slim McSauce Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Just now, Hethwill said: Peter and the Wolf. Everything is an exploit.... Until in a very plausible scenario, the owner of a main clan of a big nation decided this game isn't worth his time anymore and puts all his ports up for all while removing all officers and friendly clans, other nations move in. Players can't do anything about it, so they leave. New players see it and think "Wow its really easy for one person to completely destroy the fun for 100 others" and leave bad reviews/stop playing. Is this what you want?
Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I want nothing just stating that "exploit" word is used too often.
