No one I know is mission hopping, it's much faster and easier to grind fleets.

Once again nowhere did I mention a formal agreement, I understand that as a pirate a good education is hard to come by. Quite frankly in this game there is no such thing as a formal agreement and I trust no one outside of my clan as far as I can throw their ship and fully expect each and everyone to do what is best for their interests.

Join in timer removed from pvp matches.

p doesn't work for me. The only way i can take screenshots since the last patch is through steam.

Sweden could always ask to hire some allied nations flag captains to man third rates to help them ;p

Dude I haven't done missions since before post captain. My clan and I farm fleets of 3rd rates. EXP wise it might be a little faster to knock out missions with 2 guys, but fun wise fleet fights are always different and i don't mind raking 1200 exp for 30-40 minutes of fun. I do agree we need more mission diversity. Would be nice for group missions to have you fighting small fleets from level one, maybe trader escort missions, bounties, even chains where you get a quest ship report letter sending you in search of x npc. However this was mainly to address your mistaken idea that there was only one way to level when you can level by hunting npcs, and doing pvp. Are you new to game development? It's a small dev team, and if one is out with the flu and they ran into unexpected bugs which is likely it could delay the patch.

So...like I said working with the brits, I didn't say a formal pact, lol, but...Good job at Saint Nic.

Pirates seem divided to me if you have pirate clans working with the Brits to fight the US and then a pirate coalition to fight the brits, but meh pirates. Kind of highlights why pirates need some changes to how they work as a faction.

the belle poule has like...4 masts in its hold lol.

Hopefully npcs wont be able to sail through land, like they do when pathing around bensalem.

Really tiring seeing the timer complaint when I've seen plenty of Euro players fighting at american timers.

The affair is far more sordid then you can imagine And I think the US forgot to inform the Pirates their advance was halted.

While I agree bashing someone based on their sex should be punishable, I personally don't think how a troll saying you aren't one qualifies as that, that is what the ignore function is for.

Its strange how the timezone isn't affecting the EU players in other factions. I think the Spanish leaders need to hold an after action report on what exactly was the strategy and where it went wrong and make a come back, which is more then possible, especially after the reset in the future.

bow damage definitely causes a leak >.>

and like I said, they haven't mentioned an exp wipe, they said a port reset, so I have no idea why exp wipe was even brought up.

and haven't said anything about one?

Tired of playing PVE? Low pop server? An American looking to alternate our timeline? Or a Canadian still loyal to the crown? We need you! 24 hour presence looking for more from Europe and North America (but all welcome) laid back guild. If your thing is trading and crafting, pvp, or grinding fleets the size of a port battle for experience we have a place for you.

Are we going to lose all outposts and everything in them? will main capitals maintain the ships we store there?

Annoys the hell out of me that you go from 350 - 650 crew and pretty much completely bypass the connie.

You do realize you can delete your character and keep your level now to switch nations? They tied it all to steam for that reason a few days ago..

Well you guys managed to do a lot with the 6 ports ya got down there, that's for sure. Really hope after the port reset Spain starts working together instead of apparently being their own biggest enemy.

Because spain is the only country in Europe right? Oh wait plenty of other European players fighting the US and not constantly using timers as an excuse to fight the US. SLRN assisted with the US assault at Conttoy which was a defeat for the US and they had quite a few Brits in. I keep seeing this excuse, and its nothing more then an excuse. Part of the issue is spain had so many ports to start with which didn't allow them to set the times but ultimately, blaming time zones that more players in other factions face as well, is nothing more then a cop out. The bigger issue would seem to be spains inability to work together. You're disorganized and that will never result in a positive for your faction. The alliance thing would be cool and could solve a lot of the issues. SLRN and REA were/are allied but all a different faction can do atm is try to blockade and not participate in the actual battle. Personally, I think the problem is there are entirely way to many factions and one side is always going to be extremely underpopulated and therefore balancing will penalize larger nations. When I rerolled from pirates and was trying to decide what faction to play I was told Spain faction chat was nothing but Spanish same for the clans, where is the incentive for all of us from North America to play with a faction we can't communicate with? I personally think a faction cap should have been implemented from the start, but I can also see how that could have hindered steam sales. No one enjoys being forced to play in a faction they didn't really want or not being able to play with their friends because of a lock. Ultimately I think there needs to be some sort of incentive to pull players from other factions to roll Spanish/French . Hopefully though since its an Alpha people wont quit and the community and devs can come up with ways to balance the factions and hopefully even out the populations. Also what will happen with outposts that aren't in neutral towns?

Definitely the best pb I've been in, Cuyo was fun but we were sorely outgunned for it, this was much more even but I'll be glad for the day undercrewing 3rd rates at Post Captain is no longer a thing (coming from a guy who was in one.) I'd much rather it be about tactics then battle rating.

It doesn't sound like a whine and to be fair it happened to us when we attacked Cuyo, but all in all it was a great fight. I might upload my side tonight where you can see the main lesson is to never bring medium cannons to a line fight and 2-3 third rates attempt a mating ritual. Whoever was on top of me had me 98% of water which really would have helped you out but I somehow managed to survive and get out.
