OK what did i post i didnt know the fact about? Oh and it is is weird

Because i do not know if they are at war with Sweden and Danmark and it is kinda obvious they are at war with GB. Did we see a nice declaration of the war of France with Sweden posted on the forum?

Maybe ask them what type of gameplay they prefer. PvE,PvP, RvR . Kinda different gameplays and not everyone will be comfortable in a RvR clan or get bored in a PvE clan

So we are comparing a nation GB that is at war with the French, Russians, Spanish, Pirates and Swedish to try and not get bumped to being around Jamaica and having every day 3 or 4 ports flipped to another nation France that has peace with Russia and Spain and you think the reasoning is the same? We dont mind doing port battles but seriously we kept it polite in our battles with the french in the Bahamas. We didnt multiflip any of the ports so we could have fair battles that are won on merit. Maybe what this whole discussion proves is that the hostility and the timers for port battles is just wrong. I just wanted to point out that from the 47 ports france holds only 10 have a timer in EU prime time. That is just over 20%. For a whole nation. RSC is just 1 clan and the timers we have set are for small ports where at those time we can actually usually fill them but it prevents the multiflipping. And during the weekendthere is always a port battle at these times. The french are even attacking us now at this time of day so they can get enough players for a port battle, except not when they have to defend and might loose a port it seems

@admin Do you guys have the stats per nation and logins in the different time zones?

What war???? Like i said almost all the timers are set to the middle of the night for the EU players. Doesnt really seem like a war but just a hiding behind the timers. Seems like too scared to actually fight. GB didnt declare war on France it was vice versa

After another battle yesterday that we lost due to some tactical, i had thought that the french were getting a bit braver again. However this morning i see that another french port has been put on a timer of 03:00 to 06:00. It seems that not only in battle but also in the whole RvR, the only thing they can do is run away froom a fight. We all know their kiting tactics but now we can even be kited in a port battle because of the absurd timers. Our friends the french declared very formally a war with GB but honestly if you only put your timers at times our better players arent on it can only be that you are scared to fight. Meet you on the battlefield, I hope ....

And maybe an extra one for controlling a region because at the moment the concept of regions are pretty useless

OK before everyone will start that I am crying on the forum because we dont jave a victory mark this week and i am salty, I absolutly dont care if I get a victory mark or not. I dont use them and they are just stockpiled in my captains chest. Now that we have this out of the way let me start my post. I have participated in numerous port battles over the last years sailing from here to there, moving ships, towing ships, making sure the resources are where they are needed, and in the process of doing all this having a lot of fun both in the offensive and defensive port battles. However sometimes the result is a bit frustrating. You will win a battle on points but loose half your fleet and vice versa. Also some battles inconclusivly and no one wins. I think it should be reworked in some way like in a football (soccer for the americans) where you get 3 points for a won battle, 1 point when there is a draw and 0 points when you loose a battle. This way when a defender wins a port battle they are also getting points and not like it is now where it is only based on the amount of ports you own. The issue i see with this is the multi flipping of ports. I play GB and often in the weekend we get 3 port battles at the same time so we need to concentrate on 1 port to effectively defend it and if we loose that battle that means -3 points for us. The fights are usually fun but boy it does get tiring. The system with the win and loss would also mean that people dont just flip ports for flipping ports. Not to blame you guys or point a finger but Sweden flippped Harbour Island on saturday. Spanish were there to defend the port, Russians were there to screen for the Spanish, GB was there to screen for the Swedes, Pirates and Prussians were there to get PVP marks and kill the stragglers. The only ones that were missing were the Swedes. The spanish didnt get anything for getting their captains organised and defending the port. This would change if they got 3 points for doing this. Multi flipping is also terribly annoying for the defender. You need to make a choice and sometimes it works other times it doesnt. The russians lost ports due to it, we lost ports due to it and if some nations decide to multiflip a small nation like Denmark, Prussia or Poland they can get 1 ported or even annihalated in no time. For the attacker it is easy to multi flip. Just coordinate a bit and you will flip 3 ports, preferably not to close to eachother so the defender has to guess what the target is. The defender needs to spread their forces as to see what port is really going to be attacked and if they loose the real target well they are at -1 on the conquest board. In the system i propose the defender would get 6 points for 2 defended port and the attacker would get only 3 points for the one they won. I am personally not in favour of a system where if 1 port is flipped the next port battle can only start 2 hours after the start of the first one. That would negate the tactical decision of multi flipping. We are all looking for content in the game and Port Battles are an important factor. There needs to be more but those are diffent subjects. Keep it decent when replying. Thank you

Especially me. I cant even sail a ship only a boat

Maybe no more timer during port battles and it will be first to reach 1000 points or sinks the other ships

Or mexican coast or another place where nothing seems to happen

Of course. Its still a pvp server. Doubt you will win then though

Hello fellow captains, Everyone is hereby invited to participate in the first La Desconocida to Walker's Cay boat race. The rules are very simple. The winner is the first captain to sail from La Des to Walkers. All captains can participate in the ship of the choosing, any wood type, any upgrades are allowed. the route is free to choose as well. Start will be at 20:00 server time in La Des. Entry needs to be done here and I will oversee the players arriving at the docs in La Des. Start will be sails down at the docks until I give the start in global chat. A fellow RSC member will be in Walkers to monitor who is the first to arrive. First place will receive a Prince, second place will receive a Navy Brig and third place will receive a Snow Sportive greetings Jake Newport

Speed should also be capped in OW when there is a storm and you are in a small ship or at least get damage if not severe damage. A prince is not suited to sail in a storm

Thats a bit nonsense. You shouldnt go out in your LGV all alone, of course you get attacked. Also BR doesnt matter that much. Yesterday me and 2 friends sank a Buc of BR450 with 2 snows and a rattle. Combined BR of 170. It is just not smart to sail alone in the open ocean

Great ideas. Could also add to escort a trader in the open world to a certain port. Other no combat related missions Passenger Service: travel with an NPC to another port for Gold or XP Trader Mission: Fulfill an order for a crafter in a port and gather the resources for him. Maybe include the nation specific items as well in there so it will make sense to sail as a smuggles to other nations ports.

If you want the chat to be in english there are 2 nations where everyone speaks english. You can go Great Britain or USA Wouldnt suggest France as the chat there is mainly in French. No clue about other nations
