Total BR in Portbattle

[HamBlower]

First of all; I do not try to declare, that Sweden lost Fort Baai because of BR difference. A russian Bellona escaped early in the beginning and did not engage the fight. But this ship with its high Br made me wondering how the russian figthing fleet could join with all their ships  

I counted today the BR of the fleets and it seems, that there is a problem with the total BR of the fleets versus the max BR of the Port.

Max BR Fort Baai: 5.280 

BR Russian Fleet: 5.540

2 x L'Ocean (BR: 900) =         1.800
4 x Buccentaure (BR: 460) = 1.840
1 x Christian (BR: 450) =           450
1 x Bellona (BR: 450) =              450
1 x Agamemnon (BR: 250) =    250
2 x Belle Poule (BR: 175) =       350
1 x LeRequin (BR: 160)   =        160
3 x Mortar Brig (BR: 80) =         240

I used  the specification of Naval Map (https://na-map.netlify.com/) to add up the BR and to check the max. BR of the Port.

Please check the counter of PortBattles

If ships escape the PB then the BR is freed up in the first (I think) 10 minutes. You make the mistake in counting the bellona

true, would like @admin to confirm the timer on this, we also think you can adjust without losing br until you can cap circles

The lord protector status is given out to everyone who was in the portbattle. Actually this takes also the escaped guys into consideration.

This exploit is actively used by some players for I think over a year.

I think a ship that escapes before the system counts the BR cannot get VM. No exploits with VM and a Nation can send those players away that weren't planned to join the battle (I think this was the reason why the Bellona left the PB very early).

Not like it really matters when victory marks are useless. I have about 400 laying around. 

Sure, right now they're useless. In the past they were not.

Useless mechanics should be either removed, or patched. No point keeping somethign which will work for 1 month and later only complicate the game.

I just point out that, if devs want to create a bottleneck with victorymarks the way lord pretectors are given out has to be corrected to avoid potential abuse AT A LATER STAGE

Good summary.

Rediii is correct in his approach, in my opinion. He looks to the game design, not to the event in itself.

We don't know what design changes are coming to Conquest. There's even a thread to interact with the game designers about it here

Also this thread is in the wrong place, hence it will be relocated to the correct board.

Correct. The slot gets freed up. This was one of the best game design changes done to Port battles. Was introduced long ago exactly to fight alt-exploitation used to block slots.

alt exploitation is fought by clanonly pbs not by going out of PB and freeing up BR. Freeing up BR is fighting joining PB on accident and its a perfect mechanic I dont argue against

Was done way before clan wars stuff  and yes, freeing up the slot during that time interval ( with no damage registered ) is perfectly normal.

Alt exploitation only really ended through clan mechanics.

Yep, regarding PBs.

[Christendom]

Having “tested” the mechanic several times, players can join and leave the battle for the first 10mins of the fight and the BR can be replaced.  All joiners in the fight, even if they leave, will get lord protector status. This has been in effect for the better part of a year and reported many times.

Just goes to show how absurdly sad the current PB/RVR system is.

On the bright side, It’s good to see Graf back on the forums defending Russia again.  Sup buddy!
