TBH and fair..... you shouldnt have taken the reinfocements out until you had a viable solution to the PvE content......because now your gonna lose a playerbase that was kept interested by the big PvE fleets and yes i see its (temporary)

Ok I got a question on the Swedish Peace Treaty. Which I think is an admirable way to resolve this since they broke up as a nation. Last night the Swedes called looking for help. The said WIS had done a "Pearl Harbor" on them an attacked the port of St. John's during those negotiations to try to blind side the few Swedes left. Is there any truth to that?
My apologies to Arsilon as we are clearly off topic.
@bach
The Swedes had a little truth to it however it was resolved beforehand
By standards the swedish and british are at peace...... we traded amalienborg with st johns as part of the peace deal -
I don't believe Arbour meant it the way you took it. No one is looking for forced fair fights. I don't ever want to play a pvp game that does that. This is about no fights.
I hate to bring up the Fred's battle again because the emotion flying around that one isn't good. But it was the best example of the "no fights" game mechanic I can think of. I didn't make it to the battle. I was in route at the time listening on TS. The battle ended very quickly and was over before I got to it. However I heard it on TS. The British brought very large ships and average BR of 450 per player. The French got 18 or so into the battle in a reasonable amount of time to do something but not enough to stop it. The British were just hitting the towers while the French were hitting the British ships. The French chose to fight to the death even if they were losing the port in hopes of sinking the British Victory and some Pavels I think. This was the French plan and they were doing it as reported earlier a number of British ships were close to sinking. However, the French were denied this suicide battle of glory as the computer simply ended the fight based on BR before any of the ships had time to sink. This game mechanic prevented pvp that the players were more than willing to do.
I think the question is "What is the intent of the 2:1 BR victory condition?" Was that intent to allow a massively larger force not to have to fight a 2:.8 BR force that wanted to fight it? I'm guessing probably not. It also opens the door for a potential tactic of "PvT over pvp" by allowing an adversary to tailor a 25 man PB group that only needs to fight towers to win PB's. Now none of this says leveling is a bad thing and no one is saying opponents shouldn't be able to bring everything they can to a PB. But perhaps the computer shouldn't be ending fights at 2:1 BR. Maybe it needs to go back to 3:1 now that players are starting to get into 1st and 2nd rates.
To me that is the thing. We all talk about how there should be risk to bringing out a 1st rate. But that risk isn't really there if the computer ends the fight before a reasonable force has a chance to inflict that loss. Basically, the smaller force should be allowed to fight on to inflict losses to prevent a key ship like a 1st rate dura from getting into the next PB. Suicidng a 3rd rate to remove a 1st rate is still a tactic worthy of Lord Nelson.
EXCEPT THE FACT BEING..... THE FRENCH WERE SEEN SAILING MULTITUDES OF 3rd Rates out of the Port after the battle...... The VERY SAME PEOPLE who where there in the battle with a frigate....... it had nothing to do with a GREAT BIG OLE BR DIFFERENCE........ Hell we saw Your victory sail away from the same port...... Guess what? that player was in battle with a frigate..... SO SORRY if We use a function that prevents us losing our ships because you want to tag a battle and drag it out for a hour and a half....
We used our time wisely instead of playing duck, duck goose.....
And if they wanted that fight........ why after port battle did no one stay around to PVP?
All of these accusations about PvE and General "French Wine" are whats killing the game... people log onto the forums and see that and theyre like oohhhhh well this is a shitty game community
"Ive been trying to stay out of this but enough is enough" + ive been working on the swedish peace treaty the last few days

1. As a Leader in TCF i can formally say that we had absolutely no intention of taking swedish ports until the danes asked us for help.2. The 3rd rates you currently see are because instead of running around in frigates and tagging people and running away wasting time...... we actually grind fleets when were not dealing with swedish bullshit and frances nepotism.3. I FLAT OUT WARNED SWEDISH LEADERSHIP NOT TO TAKE GUYAMA...... You Brought This upon yourself4. We tried to negotiate this deal and get the swedes to back off. We were accused of "Zerging" and trying to wipe out Sweden, and have proved that was not our position. Now, look who is trying to wipe out one of smallest factions on server in zerg type actions.
5. We will not tolerate any swedish ships near British ports
6. we gave up 3 ports to the danes.... in hopes of getting the swedes to back off....and start giving them back some ports........ over 5 days we waited not one was given back..
As it Stands right now we have no ill intentions towards france or wiping anyone out however we will defend ourselves!!!!!!!!
-TCF- Leadership

lol they only fight when they outnumber people
-
lol that was fin and like i said before ...... i wont be baited by your nonsensicalness eulogy..... i wont fight 12 to 2 in my trinc if you wanna over populate the area...... ill fight you as the french fought you guys..... in the cutters!
-
So the easiest solution to all of this...... swedes need to set the port timers so the danes can get back their ports....
-
lol....... that may be the case about them getting attacked..... however they declared on all of GB not just SoB the aggressors..... and when were finished showing the swede's who we are.. then well be going back to them
-
we have no qualms with the french ..... this is TCF position i cannot speak for the rest of GB......
As it stands right now .....
we are neutral with france
we are at war with america and sweden(by their own declaration of war) -
OK..... Lets put an end to this discussion......... we had no prior incentive to attack sweden..... Sweden Declared War On Great Britain.... you can see that in the political info...... were building a border against the swedes....
as was said before.... US is quite clearly the more powerhouse to deal with... but we cant have swedish ships attacking ships in Port Royal.......
-
oh thats not the point.... if hes gonna take personal digs at me... then ima shoot back
-
excuses of a loser. Take it on the chin man, nothing wrong with admitting defeat.
I stayed in that fight Roberts...... but let me ask you this......... where was SoB....... Americans attack ships at our capital..... Where was SoB?
Theyre was 2 ships capable of duking it out with them...... and we gave a good account of ourselves..........
Where was SoB?
I lost My connie to fight off the americans....
Where was SoB?
-
i only retreat when im not in the mood for a batte........ as before they tried to pull me in at chincho..... i said no called reinforcements and left......... they followed me..... attack me again....... i sunk them...... and then proceeded to be on my way.,., i wont retreat if i fight
-
hey now...//...... not my fault you guys have a bad play time lol
-
Oh your right as a Clan Leader down in the south where we fight Americans daily...... were not at war.....They Dont take British Ports..... This has already been decided by most of the British faction. I am sorry your too slow to catch on that Great Britain is the only fight in the proxy to be of any challenge......

The issue with this is i now have to sail 30 minutes to get the right fleet sit and wait 15 for 2 fleets to combine to even become a challenge .. \.... attack it ... fight a 2 hour battle... that nets 1k xp and marginal amount of gold....... whereas fighting 15+ 3rd rates with a group of clan members gaining xp comms and money in an organized fight... is ALOT BETTER.....
