Looking for PVP in my trinco

[HachiRoku]

Green zone pvp is basically impossible now + they also protect all nations for reasons that are beyond my comprehension and patrol areas seem to be dead to because of the gank or be gank roe mechanics that make no sense to me. Anyone know where I should go to have some old fashion proper competitive pvp in a trinco? Seal clubbing doesn't count....

You could always patrol KPR?

I dont like sealclubbing, I have always been a duelist

[jodgi]

You are a hopeless romantic, hachi.

I still have hope we can get br equalizing limits in patrols.

I'd let you spank me all day erry day.

come on, we both know that neither of us have the right ship in the right port at the right time...

[Werewolf]

Yeah good luck I tried for three hours the other night and literally couldn't BUY a fair fight with 250k gold. The solo viability in this game has been totally destroyed.... I have 1700 hours in this game, only 7 played in the last 8 months since they killed solo play.

I meant go and kill the raiders at KPR.

[Tiedemann]

Sail in and out of a free port until someone tags you. PvP players around free ports should reward you with higher level PvP content than the suicide runs to enemy nation capitals with reinforcement zones..

Just wait for devs to start development for the OW rvr mechanics like blockade missions, raids, area control and others.

I'd advice Gustavia. Players there are more skilled than KPR/MT/CT. You will get ganks as well, however approx. 50% of open fights there are competitive - eg. you against two Swedes and one buffed AI, all frigates. Remaining 50% is you against 8 swedes, 4-5 rates, so only a throw-away ship works.

there is no way I will pvp around carebear kindom with towers around every corner

What is this about exactly ? Ganks ? RoE ? Reinforcement Zones ? Coastal Defence ? You asking for 1v1 RoE ? Duel Room ? What exactly ? What is the subject truly about ?

Thanks.

Its about having no proper fights where tactics matter. In patrol zones and reinforcement the enemy can take advantage of time compression and I don't like the idea of people not being allowed to retreat. Ganking is only fair and I have never had an issue with being ganked. It is a pain in the ass that the chain patch made chaining less tactical and noobs gank easier now although that was not the intention. You remember the old pvp events we had right? They were not perfect but they did provide a few good battles. Anytime I go into a patrol area I loose a ship. I don't like loosing ships to 5 people jumping my battle. I don't want to sail a 1st rate or 3 rd rate around because I like my frigate  The subject is about the solo player having very little content. I know its stupid I say that after being 1st on the leaderboards a few times but the thing is that most days I'm not on the leaderboards its because I cannot find fights.

The truth is we need fix of a patrol zone so that it allows for even fights and eliminates gank meta.

Well...

What do you suggest to change in the entire game mechanics to accommodate to your pretensions ? Patrol Zone being 1v1 exclusive ?

Will you be there again today?

I hope I can stop by tonight to get some training again - need to practice as you might have noticed! 😀

No man, you dont know what I mean. Whats the problem with having a simple join timer of 3 min in patrol zones? We simply cannot be competitive there because there is always some asshole that comes along to our patrol fights and jumps us with aggys or bellonas. 

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

That's a very uncompromising approach to a solution.

Would a exclusive 1v1 roe for the zones be a good thing for everyone ?

I think it might. Would the Zones be used more or less ? Would need to be tested.

That circle of death and non existent BR limits ensuring that battles stay somewhat equal are also a pain in the arse!

Remove the first and add the second and patrol zones wouldn't be perfect but enjoyable again!

Where do I mention I want 1v1s? I want competitive pvp be that 1v1s 4v4s or 10v10s. Patrol zones have no tactics involved because your constantly been pressured to brawl. Where is there fun in brawls.

Ok, my bad. 1v1 BR then, that's what I mean.

What is your suggestion exactly ? How to make changes to mechanics to accommodate to that ?

A simple, direct and honest line should suffice I guess.

Lemme try - "I suggest OW RoE to be always 1:1 BR quota. Once achieved, battle is closed."

Your turn...
