  1. Badly for you the north of France is literaly under water..... So no barbecue this week end for us :(

    LOL Swed, you are not fighting against the danish who fight the british and we are focus on the south! You fight at 2vs1 in each flanc:

    Danish fight against british elit and you. France fight against you and dutch! You have no resistance in front of you and you can't capture la martinique. 

     

    one born every minute.

  2. I think we must be using different definitions of the term "gank". My definition is "any fight that is very one-sided" (some might also add that it's very one-sided by surprise).

     

    5 enemies sail into your water and jump you. That's a gank.

    Your 10 allies jump out of port and join the battle. Now you're the ganker (some call it a "counter-gank", but it's still a type of gank).

     

    Longer timers are not "anti-gank". They are pro-gank, especially in favor of gankers who hide in ports or invisible battles.

     

     

    What I think a lot of people aren't getting is that this is the very nature of open world gaming -- it is always gank or be ganked. Making sure you get into fights you want and can flee from fights you don't want is part of the game. What's broken right now is that longer timers make it impossible to know what sort of battle you're getting into. You won't know if it's a gank or not until the battle locks (after all the invisible people you had no way to know were there get into the fight).

     

    Short timers are the best way to prevent ganks.

     

    At least then, if there is a gank, you can see it coming and have time to maneuver or run on the open sea.

     

    why shouldnt gankers be ganked back if they gank in a stupid manner?

  3. If some people think 2 minutes is too long and some think it too short then I guess it is a good compromise

     

    gankers Think its to long, everyone else wants more time. atleast 3 minutes.

    why on Earth shouldnt u get punished for ganking near ports. becuse as it is now. if someone gets attacked outside a capital, there isnt enough time to react Before the time runs out.

     

    would be sucha big shame if gankers couldnt gank without getting ganked.

     

    Dunno why i bother. i already know the gankers will get what they want, they are by far the loudest on the forums. the ganked just quit the game instead of coming here.

  4. i lost a santi the other day becuse i left a battle who was right next to another battle. becuse of the invaunrability i didnt have time to join, or well the button was there but it didnt let me in. so i ended up alone in the middle of pirate territory.

    2 minutes is just not long enough, maybe it was before, when u could enter battles while invisible. but now... its kind of retarded. u have less than a 1 minute window to join. and that minute might be spend sailing to the edge of this new ring they made.

     

    what i dont get is why the devs change so many variables at the same time. how can they ever get a correct reeding on anything like this.

     

    and for the ppl that feel they cant attack near ports.... aww i feel so sorry for u. if u want a good 1v1 ask for it, dont just jump someone.

    Please, pretty please keep it going? I cannot imagine another 2 weeks of peace with nothing to do, you guys are really doing the Dutch a huge favor by forcing us to re-think the organization and strategy. 

     

    Besides the (very) few bad apples, this whole shenanigan so far has been a pleasant experience (well, I didn't stay up for the night battles, so some may disagree with me here), and I personally got to meet some extremely nice people from your nation. And, perhaps, after some more time fighting each other and getting better, we can all set aside our difference and go kick the real enemy down together, who knows?  :ph34r:

     

    To have fun (in a game, at least) is the #1 priority, so let's have that, even if some of us go "blub blub blub" all the time  :P

     

    I like ur spirit better than these guys trying to measure penises.

     

    its all about getting good pvp. what the hell would we do otherwise.

    when ppl start taking things personal its gonna start sucking really fast.

  6. I thought Sju explained the difference between Pirates and Privateers quite well, but I guess when a reasonable argument can't be achieved you can always resort to caps ;) I'm going to make this one last post before I no longer entertain these arguments. If the so called majority of Sweden actually thinks they have any leverage on us they're mistaken, we have absolutely no reason or incentive to stop our offensives against the French or Danes, and if you think continuing calling us trolls and pirates will make us fall in line again you're mistaken. The fact you ignorantly assume the devs will implement a diplomacy system that oppresses the minority is quite entertaining, what makes you think it will benefit you? It's just assumptions your mind is making to support this flawed "treaty" you're so desperate to maintain. This behavior will get you nowhere with my clan and I, currently we're quite happy attacking enemy shipping and there's no reason to stop. Unless you have a decent proposal I'd consider this discussion over.

     

    But ur not acting as privateers. thats the problem. u are just acting on your own Accord AKA u are pirates.

    When the danes you wont defend. u just run your Little raids on lonley traders and questers.

    but i guess thats the scary thing about it, u dont care about other swedes. aslong as u have ur Little vendetta against denmark and french.

     

    and you really need us to explain why there needs to be ways for the rest of the nation to get rid of players like you?

  7. Because they/you don't have to if they don't want to, and the people who try to pressure them into doing it are the ones in the wrong.

     

    Nobody gets to dictate how anyone else chooses to play their game, provided they're within the rules (which these people are). And it really baffles me that some people are too wrapped up in their Napoleon complexes to see that.

    well there is a nation for ppl who dont want to work as a team. A nation that excist becuse they wanted to follow their own path. Ur not in it.

     

     

  8. But all you can do is capture undefended ports and gank some traders or lone players. When it is time for a real fight you aren't there. Never seen DRUNK players anywhere near actual PBs and OW battles in the south. Never seen them attack any actually defended port. And IF Danes decided to attack Sweden DRUNK will be able to do just NOTHING - all defence will be done by HRE and KF, cause they are actually good and experienced in RVR.

     

    So, why not stop this pretense of fighting for Sweden, when actually you are waging some private war with lone traders? Just reroll as a pirate, and continue to gank Danes, but without all this pretense. Why put simple acts of piracy under some mask of "glorious fight for Sweden". Maybe that's the problem why no one is taking you seriously. Stop pretending to be some glorious fighters (when the only thing you are good at is ganking in speed fit Renommes) and start being what you actually are - just a bunch of pirates that dislike Danes..

    i take that back

  9. So lets say u add an Alliance system

     

    there is 3 options for players who spent atleast 14 Days in that nation and is higher rank than lets say kaptain. (and Active within the last 7days)

     

    your opinion of country 1 hostile / neutral / allied

    country 2... and so on

     

    to get allied with country 1 both need to vote above 50% for that, why not more than 50%? becuse there is 3 options. 45% might vote Alliance 50% might vote  neutral and 5 enemy

     

    it would only take one of the 2 nations voting enemy for a hostile relation.

     

     

    as i see it its quite simple. becuse if some of those players of a nation is really unhappy with the situation they can still go pirate.

     

    as for what u could attack with the diffrent stances towards other nations.

    i was thinking neutral should give 1x xp and allied 0xp 0 Money / hostile more xp and Money

    why u should be able to attack allies? becuse sometimes u might wanna have friendly practice rounds or something. just a thought..

     

    maybe i should post this in suggestions instead..
