If you want to paint the map your color, be prepared to pay for it, this is how it should have been from the start.
I'm not here to fight yet another grind.

Let there be no more doubt in anybody's mind.

Once again I have lead the British forces into a glorious victory, just like I did at Port-au-Prince.
(Sorry BLACK for this other minor whimsical betrayal of our alliance again.
But this was too good an opportunity to pass up.

I think they still are. For close to a month now. It is getting a bit boring. Just a bit...

current minimal fee is 100k per day. So if your clan controls 10 ports it will amount to 1 mln per day.
I wipe my ass with million dollar bills. Np.
According to a very credible news reporter (
) https://youtu.be/yBzp33bgIfM?t=1436, Pirates own 125 ports.
Discounting the uncapturable ones for a moment and making the presumption that BLACK owns all (which I think isn't a bad presumption or is it?
) it would boil to roughly 12M per day at minimum.
Is doing RvR worth that much gold to you? Or did some faucet secretly sprout?
Maybe a trail of sunken ships will tell a tale...
I hope it is not a tale of empowering victors, then it'll again be a short Season. -

But ultimately it is a fail question. A team that wins in a failing game is irrelevant.
Nah, it's only a Season and Season #3 is about to start.

Do we know what is going to happen with our War Supplies? My clan has devoted a lot of our resources to building a stock of them. Should we just sell them back now (at a pretty big loss) or hope to get reimbursed after the reset?

My Lord, Corruption and Chaos have taken hold of this world.
It is broken. It must be fixed. Neutral brings a new choice for everyone.

Well. This obviously means your warehouse was not in a capital - which forces me to ask - how did you defend it before?
Counting on being able to counter hostility within 24 hours.
Which we proved to be broken / bugged with the Bombing of Aves and the PvE hostility grinding.

Typically, the new player:
- Is often sunk in first PVE fights (on chats, we can see so many messages from low ranked players, requested help for progression)
Very hard to help out here. You could take a new player along in your mission, so he gets some experience and some cash.
4 hours ago, Eléazar de Damas said:- Do not know how to trade for replacing lost ships (what to trade, from where to where?)
No real information anywhere and too little from Trader Tool. Starting up in Iron is usually a reasonable way, but then you need to know out of which port to get it. You also needs enough working capital.
Next thing is Oak Log to get Charcoal for going into Iron Ingots and potentially Iron Fittings. After that go with Oak Planks to Hull Repairs. Everybody needs those.
Do not go for combat until you can actually finance it.
Get cannons through contracts. A lot of players are willing to fulfill those orders, if they know those exist, so broadcast your needs on Nation chat.
Buy a cheap ship and continue on Midshipman missions until you can manually sail. Finance everything through your Hull Repairs / Iron activities.
Last but not least, persevere and do not leave the game.

There never was anything special about Sorry. Never.
SORRY managed to merge all players on one server, let's see if we can beat that feat.

If you are in the Pirate Nation or GB Nation and have never done a Port Battle before come and give it a go.
Every Nation can come and "screen" for the British. Let only one other Nation claim the title "Best Screeners".

Simply by deleting the possibility of placing buying contracts on goods popped-up by NPC (non-crafted goods). This would cancel the toxic behaviours without obliging the “money accumulators” to leave the game.
Sigh, already implemented on some goods and it failed.
An alter can control 8 ports with just one character, 16 with two.
For some reason nobody could obtain Historical Artifacts in Grindstone.
Just as you fight a ship with cannonballs, you fight on the market with money. To fight a money accumulator you need to be able to outbid him and turn away his profit, so he needs to seek a new market.
A fair trader knows his market and simply offers a fair price. He does not need to resort to penny trading the floor.

But you forget the one big porblem and why folks are paying 10K a pop for them. You increase the income folks will just keep increasing the price
Hence a PvP battle should be zero-sum balanced with a relative large proportion going to the players who sink (mostly casuals).

I am guessing bad ping is doubled against a player
A threesome, but not doubled. 350ms + 10ms instead of 2 * 350ms.
So effectively we are banging faster than you initially figured.

there is a lot of grey areas also in between my personal opinion would be my option is fair (see above a few posts) then you add Liquicity's idea of a BR limit or ship limit then you have a real good idea
a little off topic but maybe there should be serious thoughts into weekly PvP tournaments & pvp events
Only Legends seek a fair fight. (See what I did there... hur hur)
On Monday, August 14, 2017 at 6:06 PM, Skully said:Legends is all about pure combat skill, 25x25 (and similar formats). In Legends the premise is that you start battle on equal terms.
In Open World you need to seek out battles to fight on favorable terms. Or putting it differently, in OW you seek the unfair advantage.

Ok now look at it in a different light imagine being a fresher player and try having a crack at OWPvP,
not only that but you have to remember we have a very limited player base at the moment so getaways are easier.
if we hade a larger player base you would need that invisibility
If we had a larger player base, there would be more people tied up in battles themselves.
Having a crack at OW PvP or tossing yourself alone into enemy waters are two opposites. The first is relatively easy, go patrolling friendly waters or escorting PB fleets. Build your way up to engaging enemy ships as part of a fleet. And then go alone dodging enemy patrols in their waters.
Why should going alone in enemy waters not be risky? Why does everyone pick the hardest career out of the box and expects to survive?

But when sailing around solo, the chance of evading a revenge fleet, without any invis., is next to non existant, no matter the ship.

Let me change your perspective.
I can fight the grind or go straight into bashing (casuals).
