Why the hell would locking port battles to weekends fix anything!! 

If/when we get a cash shop, weekend only pbs will lock out those who have families or work shifts.  (those more like pay extra) 

I'd be more in favour of being able through port buildings to use AI in battles to bump up numbers etc than this weekend only crap 

because people can stay up on weekends, maybe not all but 25 more than likely

There is GB/US fleets killing French Newbies outside Fort Royal (Or whatever it is called). 

Stop pointing fingers mate, it does you no good and it does not contribute to a healthy discussion... (Same goes to everyone else btw...) 

I think we re passed reasonable discourse. Sensible discussion can only be had with sensible individuals and this forum is lacking.

US are killing playerbase but there is a french fleet outside KPR camping newbies. *Phone rings* Pot: Hello? Kettle: Black ! *hangs up*

Well i can't speak for everyone else but i, personally, have defended the US Based Players right to be on this server a shitton of times.
I was in TDA you know, the 90% US based clan? Most of the guys i play with are US Based Players. 
So i'm sorry if you feel like i don't acknowledge your right to play. If i didn't i would not have defended my US mates so many times when people claim that "EU server for EU players" bullshit. 

I feel like you are missing my point. There is only 1 way for the community to solve the "Nightflip" issue. And that is for the US and the GB nations to start fighting each other - Why? Because they are the only nations with a big enough concentration of US Based Players to actually fight port battles during US Prime Time. 
Furthermore, if the Community cannot solve this issue, then the Devs will. And well, we all remember Port Timers don't we...? 

I think your solution is kinda ridiculous, the smallest nation should vs the largest nation to fix the problem what about locking PB's to weekends?? better IMO

Learn the fact this is BETA and BUGHUNTING needs to be done. BUGS were FIXED. NOTHING HERE MATTERS. THE GAME IS NOT IN RELEASE!

Pubbies/clans that do their own thing.  

Yes, not every nation is a dictatorship like the Brits. Right, redman?

interesting saw a RDNN guy heading that way, they considered Pubbies now?

47% at Santo Domingo interesting thought the Danes weren't playing?? Oh and in off peak too what is this ?

Or a enthusiasts vs addicted scenario...

Well that really begs the question what kinda players do we want in here, casual or full timers? The Devs wont care either way $$ is $$. I mean the shear amount of PB's and the short amount of time between "drinks" forces people to commit time and resources to this game on an exponential level. From a Dev stand point, to shun the US nation because they re in a "EU" server  and force them onto their own server to play all 7 nations is not commercially smart (US being worlds biggest game market). The entire US population of the game would have a mass exodus (or they'd just get VPN's)

The question isn't "if" people are willing to stay awake, the question is "for how long". If this was happening back in Q1 2016 when the game was fresh and things were happening left and right, then people would've stayed up and dealt with it, but it is not a playstyle that is compatible if we want people to stick around instead of just playing for a few months and then moving on to something else. Would be nice if the population of the final product was sustained for years rather than months.

Yep I agree, that it is not compatible with some peoples lifestyle. but those people shouldnt be playing OW MMO. I dont know of an MMO out there that doesnt require serious commitment to be successful. However the "nightflip issue, is just a symptom of global games, region locked servers wont fix it. IMO the only thing that can be done is lock PB's to weekends.

Interesting........
You are telling me that schedules are not only a problem, but that you use it intentionally .........

Anyway, I do not speak for the others ......... I speak for myself ....... I love this game, and it would hurt to have to leave because it is played a few hours in which I I can not play.....

I go to sleep at 12, and I wake up at 7 ....... After 12, during the week you will not see me connected .......

Let me clarify, our Euro players flipped the Port at a non Ideal time, so we thought might as well waste their time and keep them up. The long and short of it is, the Danes had pissed us off so we didnt care really.  I personally think If the Devs are gonna "knuckle under" to your demands that they should just lock PB's to weekends IMO

Oki, I'll ask my buddies about LV because I do not know what you're talking about ....... From LV I just know it's your best ally now ... Is not it? ....... Now Play with the English .........

Edit: You are very lucky, and I would like to be able to do it .... but I can not ... And I am afraid that most either

 

He is our ally, yes. I think Euro's can do US PB times (and they have in the past) but they wont because its "inconvenient" for them. Ever since we strategically and intentionally deprived them of sleep in Savannah with a Frigate fleet, they've been whinging about lack of sleep. They play dirty and so did we and they dont like it, simple!

I think that Australian time zone is a little between america and europe, so australian people can try to join the american or the european server depending his own work and what server goes better for him, But the timers between america and europe are not possible to try to mix.....

About LV,  I don't understand you......... sorry......

Oh so its not the same that my choices are: EU RvR early AM, US RvR Midday ? oh ok my bad. Ask your buddies about Lord Vicious and the 2nd Pirate Coming.

P.S - I have a full time job in the Royal Australian Navy and a Wife and yet I still play (for context)

The English and Americans do not want to understand ..... It's not about not wanting to fight late at night ........ Is that we can not even if we wanted .......... Me At three in the morning I'm sleeping ....... Are you able to understand? .......... Do you want to attack us ports at that time ??? ......... .. Perfect, you are in your right, since the game allows it. But when a new player connects tomorrow afternoon and sees that we have lost ports to a few hours when he can not play, he will leave the game, as have thousands of players so far .....

The devs have to decide .......... Or make two servers see how one dies, while the other works, or leave only one and see how it dies .....

Hahaha XD just like LV did to us, stings doesnt it? Im Australian, so if the Euros book in their TZ it early AM for me and if the US book in their Primetime its midday.... but I still manage to show as much as possible and never have I complained.... some people just have weaker constitutions I guess

"And thats the NIGHTFLIP."

Haha Time is not an exploit lol It is nonsensical to think US would flip outside their prime (the same EU flip in their prime) this is an online game. Crying cause you got whipped once is pathetic. try getting reduced to a single port to by one clan and losing 90% of your (small) player base, then you can whinge. This argument is stupid we will never agree. The only solution I see is locking PB's to weekend any other suggestion is ludicrous.

I've read through this entire shamble of a thread and it seems clear to me that there really shouldn't be a solution to these issues.. I was in a rather heated argument a few days ago with Wraith and Hodo about the nightflips and in that argument it was insinuated that I and E.P. Juel was in a homosexual relationship simply on the grounds that we agreed the nightflips was a bad idea.. The level of toxicity in this thread is mind blowing.. I can't recall ever to have exploited anything in game.. I banter and I'll gladly burn any brit in game.. 

I do recall the brits and dutch placing insane PB timer - and I for one was actually okay with that as it merely prevented the brits and dutch to get any better at the PBs (which is part of the reason you resort to nightflips).. 

 

The tone in this thread is such that I say - just make as many nightflips as you can mates.. See the server depop as hard as you wanted it on the PvP2 (most americans have emigrated from the PvP2 afterall) and watch as your skill sets remains as low as they are today..

Complains about toxic forum by adding more Toxicity Hahaha XD gold! We've had people camped on our coast since before I started playing I think our skills are just fine and getting better with every engagement. but our playerbase and resources not so much. but now.......

P.S - nightflips, need I remind you of the "Night of 3 knives" all in EU time and all defended. Not a single complaint about TZ

Single Player/Coop mode ? Hahaha XD Didn't know the Devs were working on that? Thats the only way I see you'll get what you want with a global game (with a max pop of 500) . I mean the only semi decent compromise i've heard is lock PB's to weekends. But that still means you got to get up hmmmm tricky.....

P.S- Still seems to be alot of Danes on for a nation thats "rage quitting"
