Suggestion: PVP1 Fight Zone

[AfkSailor]

Since there are so many complaints about not enough players online & not finding battles in the OW, why not create an area for those interested in PVP to fight.

If you want to battle without searching, and are not interested in small or large battles, set up an outpost in La Tortue. In that pirate area there will be no alliances, Brits can fight U.S, for example. Then, if you cannot find OW battles, tp to your outpost there.

Just a suggestion. :/

[Chustler]

I would be happy to find fights there.

I'd rather have "high density areas" shown on the map, as a temporary solution.

[Vernon Merrill]

That is the high-density area for alot of the US guys...

[CaptVonGunn]

Pretty sure that is what the Small and Large Battles are for along with the Duels

Actually this topic gives me an idea: what if all battlescreens (not battles, but post-battles) show up as a red dot on the open world map? Optionally fading away with time or disappearing right away when folks go open-world.

1. It gives an indication where action might be at. It should not show any sort of composition of ships or nations.
2. It solves the problem of not generating intel as I outlined in the linked post.
3. It might solve the hiding in a battlescreen problem as folks can either avoid the general area or leave battlescreen quickly to not leave a mark.

Excellent idea; been thinking along the same lines myself.

 

Let's try it out.  I added three "PvP Zones" to the map here.  Spread the word, and let me know how to adjust it.

No thanks already to easy to camp a battle from outside.. and with some of the talked about crew changes it will be even worse

I'm moving this up to a new topic. We don't want to pollute this one.

Saw a group of 5 US there last night. Tried to get a group together to fight but failed finding a group. I wish people were not so afraid of losing their ships. PVP fights are fun. I just use a junky surprise bought from NPC seller.
