Both myself and @Percival Merewether were tagged separately into battle outside Aves by a polish constitution only for no enemy ship to appear. Unsure if a genuine bug or if the player in question is up to no good as the player has immediately appeared in open world, while one of us was in the battle. It's as if he is tagging and jumping into port at the last second

Happens to me like twice a day

If it was up to me, there'd be a minimum 28 day cooldown after joining the PvE server before you could join the proper players But I also agree if is rather frustrating especially if you have a potato fr a computer that like to crash mid battle and you accidentally hit the PvE server in your desperation to get back in the game before you get boarded.

I'd like to claim the bounty on Liam790. I don't think there were any additional requirements. Thanks

Yes I get that if my ship was faster than his or if he actually came to KPR to FIGHT then I wouldn't have needed chain, (but let's leave playing "state the obvious" for another time) and that would be great if for example I only left port if I had 3 or 4 other ships with me but a majority of the time I sail by myself and build my ships for combat not running. But it seems yet again the changes are forcing people into only going for fast builds.

So we should all just be sailing fir/fir ships and running from an actual fight?

So yet ANOTHER thing that makes it easier for the gankers to avoid an actual fight?! What fucking bullshit

"Fought" a Spanish frigate earlier today, could not slow him down because his sails would not go below 98% depsite 80+ sail hits whith my chasers (9lb). Am I missing something?

There should be a challenge to looting a ship to be fair, otherwise we might as well just go back to the old post battle loot screen. Almost everything in battle should be about positioning, I feel looting should be no different

I try to make a point of holding the fatal shots until the ship is in a better position to loot, however the only time I really run into an issue is when the when suddenly changes and a ship that was once downwind and very lootable is suddenly upwind and very unlootable

That's a good point about boarding for an easier time looting however sometimes slowing a ship down with the new chain can be difficult. What if I was to bring a ship in fleet with me and told it to chain the enemy ship down. Could it do this for only a finite amount of time or perhaps longer than say a player could? Still on topic

People can't be trusted with RNG pvp rewards

I've tried asking in the Q&A section but have had no response from @admin or @Ink on the subject so I have decided to try here instead. Do NPC ships have an unlimited supply of chain? I ask because I have seen increase in the number of players taking NPC fleet ships into PvP combat with them. My concern is that if the AI have unlimited chain then there is nothing to stop someone telling their AI ship to chain the opponent for the entire duration of the battle. Thanks

@admin @Ink We are all aware that due to limitations in your contractual agreements with Steam that you cannot prevent the use of alt accounts in game but there are some uses of an alt that you will not allow. Recent events have proven that this has become a grey area that has led to a lot of confusion and ill feeling between players. I know attempts over the last few years have been made to establish some "dos" and "do nots" regarding alts but they are either very vague or have changed over time. So I am asking for an updated and definitive set of rules regarding what an alt account is NOT allowed to be used for under any circumstances. Thanks

Seriously? No answer to this one? It seems like pretty important information. @admin @Ink

Bad news, they are back

A DUTCH player can not dictate who is or isn't allowed into the battle on the BRITISH side.

Have you actually ignored the evidence submitted? Pellew said he wouldn't allow British clans into the port unless you guys could get a FULL fleet together. Explain that one

Read Pellew's one properly, the "offer" to help was clearly malicious in nature if you take the comment in its proper context And I am not denying Liam is decent guy for the most part, however no one has ever seen Master of the fishes physically help at KPR

As far as we aware none of these alt accounts have been used to help anyone in the nation. If anything they make very good scouts for the dutch

We do, the evidence is there. Admitting in nation chat to being an alt is an offence

FACT: RIVAL is a clan made up EXCLUSIVELY of the alts of HAVOC members. By HAVOC setting up a port battle against RIVAL they essentially set up a port battle against themselves or in other words their own alts. In this case I propose that this is in fact a confirmed case of ALT FARMING. If alt farming for PvP marks is a punishable offence then alt farming for Victory Marks and a port MUST be considered a punishable offence!

No, we are pissed that people (of all nations) can openly defy and twist the rules in front of everybody and people running the game do not appear to give two shits about it. THIS is just one of many examples of how the game is a free for all in terms of what is considered acceptable. Whether it be CHEATING to keep a port from being fought over or the blatant alt farming that still goes on every day. Or the fact that you can say pretty much whatever you want in the chats with no consequence. It is creating a very unpleasant environment to be playing and it is only getting worse as more people leave the game and @admin and @Ink need to reign it in dramatically before it kills the game altogether.
