Sir Texas Sir

Yah you shouldn't have any issues running. I have a 980 and I can run it on ultra settings and keep 60+ fps execpt in big battles like port battles, but I think that is cause the current state of the game doesn't us multi core yet as far as I know.

He's one of those that thinks every one should get a trophy and not not every one. I do think every one that was in the event should get like a special paint just for playing it or something, but not every one on the server. You should not get rewarded cause others did the hard work. The real world doesn't work like that even though people keep trying to make it that way, it just doesn't work that way. Than again he got one of the rare BP's so what does he have to complain about. I got two purple mods I can craft myself and two paints from the one chest i got. Really after all the time waiting it was not worth the time spent so I won't be staying up for the next one. With the current rewareds they might as well have this pop several times in a week. I'm going to bet we get the BP's any way in a few weeks with one of the new patches. Well atleast the french should be getting the 1st rate BP.

Oh we demasted him with a Rattler and Bucc and got his chest. Wasn't going to let him go. Still got crap mods and a bunch of paint.

Third trip and we had a our clan out there and with every one else we talked to no one had any BP's just the paints and the mods. It's not worth it after sitting there for 5 hours getting into place and than fighting. I took one french LVG down that had a chest so there is some PvP going on.

If you had 5 guys around you and you where about to sink you weren't going to get out of that fight any way. I had two ships pop out on me at close range cause game didn't count crew kill or ghost sail hits. I think that perk should be part of game mechanic. One was a LVG I was just about to board sitting side by side too.

See comments about such below and why ya'll don't do damage. Yah they spend so much time shooting sails that by time they start shooting ball shot most of them are about half armor or none at all and full of leaks from us focus our fire and making leaks. That and stop shooting my broad side with freaking sail shot and you might just get some damage in there. Every battle there is at least one guy that shoots me with a broad side of chain. I mean it tickles and I like the fact it does little damage, but once again it's the reason your not doing crap for damage. The only thing your hurting by taking our sails down is slowing us from chasing you when you run away after just a few guys (some times it's only one) get sunk. We spend more time chasing you guys in battle than actually doing battle. And this is why we put so many leaks on them and sink them so fast....we call out who's got leaks and what not over coms to focus our fire. So your telling me all the US/Brit 1st rates are sunk? That is a little hard to believe that you guys can't keep producing ships and don't have the materials on hands. Than again when you make folks spend way to much on things that is why no one wants to build them. Why is it taking weeks to build them? DOn't any one you stock pile your resources? Hell if I had the crafting levels and BP's I could pop one out right now myself if I need to. Ok so you don't have 1st rates any more, well than what is your excuse for normal DEEP WATER ports? Don't tell me your running out of those ships too? Ok next excuse....please?

I thought for a raid 3 days raided after the battle would be good with those days production going towards those that raided the port (Clan that pulled the flag maybe?). Than a port can't be raided for 7 days to allow a cool down and rebuild up resources.This also means Pirates can't completely disable a port with it's raids. The trick is just how to work out how the Pirtaes get the loot from the port while it's on the 3 days raid period.

I would like to know how all this is suppose to effect pirates since we don't have our update/changes yet and it seems it keeps getting pushed back and pushed back. Just an out line would be cool to know what to expect when it's our turn to join in on things or now we are going to effect the nations.

Are even better have your board fit trader that didn't get a chest board him and take the chest. Than you send his old ship back home and continue on your fleet way with protection of your buddies.

Yah they aren't getting this is a GROUP EVENT so that means you better get friends and lots of them. Our clan rolled out 20 strong last time and will prob do it again. We all ready talked with a few others to group up as most of use share things when we can.

But that is only your vision. What some of us would like to know is with these regional changes and such how does the current Pirates mechanics work and such. I know the big pirate changes are being pushed back till later, but many of us would like to see them even if it's a rough out line of what they plan to do. I'm so getting tired of National players complaining about us capturing ports to get PvP from them. I bet you they are going to hate any RAID mechanics we might get in place of capturing a port.

I would like to see what the raid features are going to be for the Pirates. I'm so sick of people crying cause we capture ports like National. Well that is cause we don't have a pirate game mechanics in game yet so we are basicly just nationals. They are going to cry when we raid ports and take there resources or what every.

Last weekend my clan had pretty much this set up. We had a bunch of Frigs to SOL's set up to escort Large traders and was ready but in the wrong spot it seems. We had a bunch of light frigates to scout too. Over 20 players ready to go and we get the global message and it end up being a bit off from where we expected. Head that way and find out half way there every thing was grabbed (we only had 5-6 squares to get there and was only 2 or so from it.) This sounds good and will put the rewards into the hands of the Organized big clans for this event. Sorry solo guys your time will come later.

I know that the UI is still just a filler for now and would love to see the new one, but some little tags like these or even add a mission for lower levels that is just that, send them to there first port and collect a reward when they put there first out post that is free down. Get a missions that sends them to take out a low level trader to learn some of the combat mechanics and not sink. The basic cutter is great cause they don't get the lost that so many feel at first when learning the mechanics. Hell I think I sunk like 10 times before I won my first fight and that sucked lol

And we loved the fact that you and a couple of low levels keep coming out to fight us, but all the higher level guys wouldn't come out and just talked smack. We sunk so many of your ships that even in TS we started feeling bad, but you gave us a fight man and that made us respect you. How many ships have you lost since coming to Pirate? It blew our mind when we saw how low the prices where when we joined Pirates. We hear it all the time when folks come over. Hell I most of us give out capture ships like it's candy to lower level players or even full made ships so we help build our fleets even if they aren't in our clan. And most of those players that come out of MT aren't BLACK. They are none clan lowbies and other clans that come out to defend our waters. Something BRITS need to learn to do when there lower levels are in trouble. It looks bad when you just sit in port and let them get attacked.

Don't forget them chaining you ever battle. Getting my sails down at a start of a LINE FIGHT is not going to help you later when your full of 50 leaks and sinking and I still have my full armor for the most part and just need to repair sails. That and stop shooting chain into my broad side all the time it does little to no damage. Maybe they should stop fitting there ships to run from a fight so they are forced to stay and brawl it out with us. To be honest the last few PB's we pretty much did the mad bull rush to break the line and turn it into a brawl. I think they don't know what to do when split up like this. Specially when the leaders are hiding behind the other payers or running as soon as this happen. You be surprised how much damage you can do to ships with a little focus fire and battle plans. I have been playing since EA started and I started on EU server cause I wanted more population to play with. The US nation was kinda toxic to new or solo/slow players so I came over to PvP2 server. There where some good players that helped me with a few things, but other than that i keep to my self until a bit ago and joined up with UNKN. We got tired of all the politics and the separation of OLD TIMERS and new players we wanted to go where folks wanted to work together some of us (8 of a 20+ member clan so that is still 12 players that stayed in US) went to Pirates. Since than I switched to BLACK cause they been more busy and I end up spending a lot of time in battles with them. US and BRITS still out number us and do pretty much ever Port Battle for the most part, but we work together and want to win. If your going to stay in US than you should help work up a new leadership for them. Ya'll have the numbers, but you need to learn to work together and help out the new guys. If I remember correct US still has more ports than any one else. Pirate is no longer one click away and it's not easy to just switch over so can you stop saying that one reason why we are OP over and over and over. You have yet to come up with a reason other than we take your best players. Many a games you will have one clan/faction that will have better players than others. Until pirate mechanics are put into the game we are treated like any other nation except for te fact we are always at war with every one and no one can ally with us. This puts us to a disadvantage cause we can't get other nations to help us in a port battle. Any one notice lately the GB battles are filled with almost more US players than GB itself? Ya'll aren't running out ships, you have a bunch of folks that sit on there econ and won't help out players out. PIRATES pretty much gives out SOL'S for free to players (Well we have been capturing a lot of ya'lls). Have you even thought about what it would mean if we didn't capture ports and instead raided them? Depending on the mechanics the DEV's come up with this might hit ya'lls econs even more than just capturing a port you can take back a few days late. You ever notice how easy it is to get ports back after we take a whole bunch of them? That is cause we don't want an empire or the ports. We push on the ones you come out to and fight cause we want the PB"s and PVP they bring. Oh and speaking of beating on little Nations. So US has taken two of the Spanish ports without even a fight. Do ya'll need even more hollow ports that no one is doing anything with (think about half the Gulf of Mexico) that you have to attack a low population Nation that can't truly defend there self and that is why they have off time port battles? Ya'll even have took two of the original agreed upon 5 ports they can have. Last I checked it was the Pirates that took those ports from US to allow them to have the agreed upon 5 ports with them taking them uncontested from the Pirates. Sounds like US just wants land and not fights. Maybe if you show up than we wouldn't just keep attacking ports to get a fight. Not to mention ya'll like to hit ports when we are in battles with others to get the easy wins. Hell ya'll even do this with fellow US Clans that pull other ports and are easy fighting so you can take ports easy. Have ya'll even though of the folks that might have econ in Spain in those ports you took? Are the low level char that play in the shallow waters but get all there ports zerged by US cause they can't fight them back? If ya'll can take several ports a night while we are fielding folks in one big port battle than ya'll aren't a weak nation lacking players, your just a coward nation that doesn't like to fight fair and run when some one tries to bring a fair fight to you.

Who exactly was under-crewed cause all I see in those 1st rates are Commodores in Vicks (I was one of them and wasn't undercrewed) and Rear Admirals in Vicks and Santsi's. I'm kinda confused about who exactly was under-crewed here? I didn't know NPG, FEAR and CKA was a rag tag clans. You had to get three big clans to take on one small clan and all you do is come up with excuses that you can't even back with facts. We aren't the only ones, we just happen to be the most organized players. We get tired of the BS in our nations and go where we can work together with like minded folks. Many folks come from nations that use to fight each other, but we are willing to work together as a team and get things done. Something it seams the big clans can't get done. As for being new players these players in these big regional battles are players that have been on the server for some good time per there rank so stop saying it's all new players too. As for going Pirate instead of Spain it's a dead nation with like 5 players. You would get rolled by other nations and burned out and end up rerolling any way. Yes it would be nice but at this time it's not going to happen. US and Brits are still the largest nations not Pirate. Maybe in the futrue they will put cap on certain nations when the population is the largest and try to get folks to play in smaller nations, but that prob something more for after Alpha testing. More than likely after the Alliance stuff is all done. How is killing fellow high ranking players and equal players seal clubbing? Ya'll spent most of your time running in this battle and trying to chain sails than actually fighting that is why you lost. http://imgur.com/DLso142 Why is this what we normally see in all ya'lls port battles?

Sorry it's the only way now. To be honest we don't want every guy just changing over either. IF you really want to go you will make the new char or find a way to change your stuff over.

Can it enter regionals though?

20-30 is a bit to much, but I can see maybe making it 10 in the capital and 5 every where else. That are do the drydock thing. many folks I know use there FLEET slots for drydock spots. I would be happy with 10 ports, but a drydock system in the capital would be cool too. Than it's there lost and they had no clue what an EA Alpha means. To be honest I think when the game goes live we should start all over with maybe a few gift for doing NA, but we have to level all over like new players will have to. So a wipe of a port is nothing.

Maybe it would be good to do a weekend instead of a while week. I'm all ready seeing folks saying they won't log on that week other than to do there econ or maybe some Port Battles since we can't PvP on OW. Here is another thing maybe only do this on one of the servers and not both of the PvP servers.

Than get bigger kits, those small are ment for smaller ships and crew.

I didn't even know there was a PvE server? I thought that was what the PvP servers are now a days with so many folks not wanting to PvP during events and such.

Would make it a lot more easy to find them when in a group. Wish groups also listed ranks so you can see other than by ships what missiosn you can or want to do with your group. Also a nice way to know if some one in your group was doing the undercrew thing.

Those timers where set by your team for the port and than again by who ever captures it. If you want times around when your on more than capture a port and set the timer to your prime time, but when you can't defend it and it gets taken don't complain cause it wasn't in the servers population prime time. We been capturing a lot of ports without a fight cause people put odd timers on the ports and don't expect folks to stay up or get on early and attack those ports.
