Join the circle (and not to end up in tokyo)

[Thonys]

@admin when going in battle we get 2 circles

 

why not 6 circles , 3 for the enemy and 3 for the allies 

why :

battle circles on land;  so you can choose another circle on water.

and to overcome bad winds with huge of distance ...

and timers with bad winds... what give you the opportunity to choose a better course

AFAIK the one massive join circle was removed so players couldnt join on the best possible location and surround enemies. Joining should only be possible where the iniital ship that tags / got tagged was in OW - thus the two circles, so noone can surround anyone by using OW speed advantage and sailing past the ship.

Might end up similar with 3 join circles per side

That's how it should be if you were not in range of first main tag, simulates that you first have to get to the battle (and not use hyper OW speed and surround the enemy), IMO

I personally think that the mechanic in having it impossible to join a join circle because it's on land is Cancer.

Why should I not be allowed to join a battle but the enemy can? So the enemy gets away with entering a battle when I want to fight them but can't because my side has some shitty Land in the way.

it doesn't add "strategy" it adds anger and frustration.

but what sux is when you are right on top of the initial tag, but don't get pulled in and have to sail away to get to the join circle, and then instead of being in your initial position, you are km's away.

No circles no land. ( system requires it for positioning )

Land Ho! was the best thing in OW, leeway was the second.

One was "hammered" so much it is barely noticeable, please do not remove the other one.  

Solution is to return to he BIG circle.

They should do a hybrid of the big second circle they had before when it was two circles, but instead of being pulled in the second circle you get a message to instant join when the tag goes through so every one can join from there OW position.  Some times that might be a head or behind the other ship.  Counter tags are bad cause they can mess up a perfect box in of an enemy ship.  This system will stop that.   Than have any one else that joins have to do the old fashion join circles.  

With this system you can pick if you want to get pulled or not and or go after other targets or just leave if your in the bigger outer circle.  Nothing is worse than being right on the out side of the tag circle.  Not geting pulled and than you have to turn around and go back to the join circle that is against the wind and you might not make it in even though you where pretty much right on the ship at the edge of the pull circle.

Mind you, I am not asking for land to be gone from battles, I am in agreement with you.

I just wish for a solution to what I precieve as a problem, although I know others do not believe it to be a problem. So bigger circles? Great, love it.

[Capt Jubal Early]

Just do a big join circle but always spawn the opposing factions at set positions either side of the fight. Make sure its coded not to land that position on land and its GG.

[Tomasso il Fortunato]

Why not just one circle? Bigger one .

Big circle was, IMO and contested by many, as the best ROE.

Further, it cleans away too many "powergaming" tags and counter-tags loopholes.

Oh in this case , let's return back . But why the big circle was removed . Always can be a circle , always two circles , why ?
