Massive gank fest happening(also against smallers)

Recommended Posts

Started off with me sailing a 3rd rate, backing off  sailing true neutral waters and this vic started to engagae. 1 vs 1 okeej i dont mind. ended up with a santi joining, then a Connie and a pavel and also a pavel waiting outside the battle for me to get out.

After that i got back into my free port, where i helped some of my fellow pirates out with getting some kills, then heard they are waiting outside the battle for us to come out and then it all started.
i asked my friend to engage them one's just so i can get the chance to get out, cause it was the same setup  of enemie's waiting outside  waiting for me to be visable so they could gank me.
The screenshots will tell the rest of the story.
after i got away, they started to engage my friends that were in a renomee, privateer and even one in a merc (and they were target by the santi/pavel and victory. they will post there screenshots after i posted this.

I don't think this is tribunal material?

What you are saying is you tried to split them and it backfired and then you made the mistake of calling reinforcements which inflates your side's BR with useless AI but more enemy players can join :)

The problem is that any kind of BR limit + reinforcement system can and will be gamed and (imho) should be scrapped entirely; Vic+Santi BR is way too low which exacerbates the problem but the players didn't do anything wrong from what I can see.

They didn't even have someone from your own faction join your side to increase BR enough so their friends can get in.

And no, the vic engaged me outside> i send my snow escort to retreat, so none could join, but the Santi joined therefor i had the idea of lets call in some reinforcments, and get that vic of my butt(wich didnt work as intented) after 50 mins of kiting, they managed to get me afterall, regardless of that. i got ported to the port closest, and decided to switch ships as i just ranked up so i could finaly fully crew the st pavel, and helped some friends level up wich were struggeling to get there honor kills made.

so we engaged a lonely frigate , wich i demast. meanwhile the russians in question from the attack earlier were camping the battle outside(as they were watching my stream appearently.

so then the camping /ganking started. but the persons that got ganked(vic/santi/pavel vs privateer etc) the guys cant post any screenshots as we await Moderator aproval

1. Solo ship of the line with no escort is an easy target.
2. reinforcement should not change BR allowing additional people to join. its probably a new (old) bug.
3. due to lots of advanced thinking required and no cheats ships of the line AI actually is a lot weaker than low ships. That's why the bigger your ship is the more useful reinforcements are (more difficulty)
4. It's a PVP server and people will sink other people. Especially if you are a pirate.

 

But i see a bright side.. Seems like you 4 are a nice tight group. Practice and soon others will run from you.
I would also recommend connecting with other experienced pirate groups to sail with. Contact gamover or top bizzarrly they are nice people. Perhaps there are other good pirate captains. Post here if you are :)

 

Reinforcement best practices.

  • Call reinforcements if you intend to fight.
  • Reinforcements are somewhat useful if you will stay near them. That's why you will maximize their DPS if you fight.
  • If you plan to run - don't call reinforcement if your path is not through the green zone on the compass. If you path is through the green zone they will be somewhat helpful. (could get 1-2 chain shots in). If your running course is not through the reinforcement spot they will be useless and will only allow entry of others.
  • But in general if you don't plan to fight reinforcements will not help at all.

 


 

 

This has no constructive feedback regarding the topic, just buzz off

 

You are the pirate.. many pirates and officers roleplay.
I once called pirates criminals :). I have a pirate officer and sail with pirates sometimes.

 

 

Re stream sniping.

If you were streaming prepare for more cases like that. Find some pirate friends and make a show out of it. (lots of viewers as battles will be awesome).

Or put 10 min delay to visuals or something.

They use game mechanic to let you run. So when they do it it's - normal, when we attack them - it's gank, looks like at one-sided logic) 

Also when was you hero when you peoples hold ships of the line on yachts and renomee?) 

So mb it was exploit?) Mb it's you who must be banned?

First of all, i never attacked a person thats not sailing the same class/br. so you must of mistaken me with some one else..

Second of that, i even helped your "Comrades" Mr essex (when he was in need of assitance when he was about to sink with his merc.

and Besides that i was Fleeing, cause you guys seem to have it aimed on me with 2/3 first rates and a 3 rd rate.

Also you have gained the location without knowing this by just sailing , therefore it was not fair to start off with.

This is NOT a tribunal case. Your just complaining about a mechanic you don't like because it was used against you. There are plenty of threads dealing with ideas to prevent overwhelming ganks. Visit them.

 

You got ganked. Deal with it. Protect yourself in the future. Level up so you can defend yourself better later.

 

You are a pirate and if you sail through my waters I will attack you every time. I don't care if you are a brig or a Santi. Pirates deserve no mercy.

Nothing to do with the fact if im a pirate or not, and you all know it.
if i was weaving another nation flag you all would of reacted the same way, so it doesnt add up. we are here testing the game. we all do a part of our testing reports back , and this unsportmanship behaviour isnt tolerated i would say.
Pirate,dutch,French,danish,swedish,american nor brit. we all have a code of honor and dont do ganking regardless of the fact. else i would of done my share of seal clubbing wich i wont do nor ever will do.

4 US players were attacked repeatedly by an even larger force of these same guys last night, like 600 guns to 200.

This is what they do, it was frowned upon a long time ago, but now it is ok, so you just have to get on with it.

We've never made tribunals about this, we just get even :)

 

In an even fight those guys really aren't that good, we've fought everyone and I'd rank our opponents as British>French>Dutch>Danish, so practice a little and gank them back!
