  1. FWIW, I hate gankers and see it as lame. I never saw the fun in getting 10 friends and jumping a ship. However, I feel the 1.5 BR is not effective in solving this. Today, about 10 pirates were ganking ships between Port Royal and Port Morant. They were still able to fight each other to hide in battle screen. If they hit a ship near the middle of the two towns, players in port were unable to help. In one of them, the 1.5 BR limit made it impossible for chase ships to join because some heavies that were closer joined first. So while the Brits outgunned the pirates, the pirates just ran. I appreciate the attempts to reduce ganking, but I feel this one doesn't work. I think a better way is for battle markers to never disappear until all ships have left battle. That way when I see a pirates vs pirates marker, I'll be sure to avoid that area. Or at least know their battle ratings. Ps. I never really saw the fun in this, Renommee was the only ship on the horizon when it tagged us.

  2. Seeing a lot of pvp2 Brits on pvp1. Including myself obviously. Tempted to just stay.
  3. I disagree. If anything the potential merger has kept people on PVP2. I was actually about to transfer when I saw that there would be a merger. When I saw that, I decided to stay on PVP2.
  4. Works for me. I stopped caring about ports a while ago. Although I'm glad the US made attacks yesterday as it drew our big ships back to PR. The battle wouldn't have been as fun if we had an extra pavel and more 3rd rates. In all fairness, in Brit chat they reported "10+ French in 3rd rates", not "8 French with 1 3rd rate". If your other ships had made it in, a 8v8 woulda been pretty even. Especially if the whole ship blowing uppy thing didn't happen. I've set up camp in LaT but will likely be alone most of the fights.
  5. Good fight tonight. Was hoping to engage your whole fleet instead of just 5. Either way it was fun to mix it up from my normal single ship fights.
  6. I still fail to grasp how anyone in an online video game thinks they have the right to dictate someone else's actions. I really hope those people are not in my country and voting for what I can and can not do in real life.
  7. I've never been a fan of the port capture times. A month ago I would see "what's the best time to set the timers?" in Brit chat. The answer would always be "when your clan is most active", but instead they would get set to some obscure time even though the port was taken in prime time. Had some great fights in sunbury lately. I find 1v1 and 1v2 to be more fun than big fleets or ganks. It's also fun to cruise outside charleston in a cutter to see big ships go into port only to come out again in a cutter for some fun. I suppose I should go by LaT and see what sort of action is going on there. Lack of pvp isn't the only reason people are leaving. The Brit economy feels like it's dying as well. The number of ships for sale in PR is a fraction of what it once was. I don't bother selling a ship or selling items on contract anymore, just not enough players to support the economy. I'm sure it's been worse for other countries but many of the Brit players played for something other than pvp and they've all left. I made friends with some crafters early on but haven't seen them online in weeks.
  8. I consider myself a more casual player. Started the game on feb 1 and have about 200 hours into it. Personally, I would love to PVP more, but I simply don't have the time to sail very far every night to do it. My tp is rarely ready so setting up the outpost there didn't do me a lot of good. I don't think I've ever played long enough in one sitting to use my tp twice. One of the draws to pvp1 that I see is that players don't have to travel as far to get to the fight. At least the Brits don't. I eventually abandoned the outpost in vieques because whenever I went, the French/sweds were in force and I was usually alone. I have since set up an outpost in sunbury and have had some great 1v1 fights. Probably the most fun is 1v3 or 1v4 against midshipmen in cutters. Myself also in a basic cutter. I can usually sink one or two before I go down, but I can also tell a difference in skill between the players at the beginning of the match compared to end. Happy to teach people by fire. We'll see how the sunbury thing goes, but I'm likely to switch to pvp1 simply so I don't have to travel as far for a fight.
