i think its funny how 90% of the port battles between the US and Pirates are uncontested. for no opposition you move too slow. move faster!

i agree, LVG should keep its guns. 1v1 anything that can catch you cant kill you. Xv1, well, you're probably done for with or without guns

got my vote for best captain in the US faction

I agree we need a shorter teleport. however, teleporting with cargo has to go. Open sea speed does need to go up. my suggestion would be a 2 hour teleport with a 15%-20% increase in open sea speed. just enough open sea speed to shorten those long trading hauls while keeping the size of the world big. sure we could end up going 25-28 knots on the OS. is that really that bad? or upgrades that make your ship go faster on the OS. that could help.

nothing worth voting for here... missing the only thing that REALLY needs fixing right now. RVR. PB's and how they start and how the end, and everything in between

wrong, we'll be in the same boat we are now 3 days after a reset. there is no point in resetting at this point.

unless they fix conquest/RVR, there is no point in a map reset.

anyone got any screen shots of the Essex BP?

don't chase pirates?

2 hour teleport cool down. with teleport to capitol replaced with teleport to last port. while retaining to teleport without ship to other outposts. an Open Sea speed increase across all ships of about 15% would be nice. just takes way to long to haul my goods around each day. that would also help with doing missions and getting to pvp action quicker too.

I guess i'm alone in this. but, was there something in the terms of service that he violated? did he cheat or use a game mechanic that is in the game? what rule did he break? based on what I can see, he did nothing wrong except block a flag pull on a port that was an intended target. why cant someone else buy a flag for the same port? wouldn't that solve the problem then? obviously you can only have one port battle for the port at a time, but why cant there be 10 assault fleets for the same port? i'm confused. don't punish a jerk for being a jerk. fix the problem so it doesn't happen again. also these lame port battle time windows need to be address. they are way too short.

Remember people. this is not the gospel! it looks like their goal is Thursday or Friday. doesn't mean it WILL be here then. i'm sure if things don't work out it could get delayed till the next week. but lets hope this all goes well.

Still no word as to when this patch could come? I feel they shouldn't be more then a week or so off. kinda sad we are getting no feedback for the devs/admins. well, I hope it comes by the end of this week. starting to get bored with the game.

i see a lot of people wondering when this patch is coming. i'm excited for the new changes. i'm guessing no one still has any idea when this is coming. I know they said 2 weeks 2 weeks ago. anyone think it could happen by the weekend? or is it going to take afew more weeks? wish I could get a hint from the dev team on this one.

first off you have to find what the problem is and why it is happening. pretty sure I know what the problem is. and why. Spain has a low population. making it easy for them to be attacked by everyone because they cannot defend anything with such a low population. I don't know why nations want empty port battles. or almost empty. i'm still confused as to why we barely see port attacks on US and Pirates or even British. oh wait, they have high populations so you would have to work to win those. people don't wanna pay 100k plus gold to attack a port and fail. now the hard part. how do we fix this? lots of reasonable suggestions. however, whatever fix you put in, is going to break something else. i'm sorry I cant be more helpful here. but the only thing I can think of is, there are too many nations to choose from and closing 1-2 out and giving incentives to join Spain could make a better balance of population

anyone have any idea as to what is going on? could they be putting a patch in? did they bring the servers down? i'm at a loss.

I don't like the idea of making ships cost an arm and a leg to build. I kinda support the current system but It would need several tweeks to make it work. the real problem I have with making a brig cost 300k to build would be, no one would pvp in anything but a free ship. makes the game kinda boring imo. if anything, we should reduce the cost of ships to make it so anyone could afford them and make the upgrades cost an arm and a leg. however, I think it should cost a lot of labor hours or real hours, depending on how you want to look at it to build ships. as it sits, it seems like it does take a lot of time to build a decently sized ship and upgrade it past basic.

I oppose anything that would create an imbalance to one faction or another. I voted for pirates to have the same options as every other faction and here is why, making one faction not be able to do something instantly creates an imbalance in the game. now one faction is handicapped. this is bad while historically it makes no sense for pirates to capture ports and have an economy. everyone should have the same options to craft and build their factions economy. make all factions have the same options is the best way to make the game balanced and fair. after you hamstring a faction you have to do something to rebalance it. giving it more power in another area that no one else has. sure, it adds diversity to the game but now one faction has more power then another and will create a population imbalance (which we are already seeing). I currently believe the fact that pirates can attack other pirates with no penalty is enough of a difference to keep them interesting.

Ahh good old sink and suck. I remember you guys from PotBS. I loved sinking you guys. too easy.... J/K some people call me bridget... maybe i'll look you guys up.
