Se ha visto la faccion Española en muchisimo peor estado varias veces en el pasada. Pero nunca la vi tan dividida ==> La culpa la tiene los VLTRA por haber sido demasiado "dominante" respeto a los otros clanes. Esta claro que el Golfo va a ser Ingles dentro de poco ==> La culpa la tendra los VLTRA por haber dejado la faccion debido a la culpa anterior. La faccion Española no tiene la culpa del desastre desarrollandose, lo unico que puede hacer y seguira haciendo es hechar la culpa a otros... Eso lo llamo irresponsabilidad. Si los clanes que constituyen la faccion Española actual no se sienten responsables, no consiguen organizarse, ni elaboran planes, ni dan ojetivos colectivos, y sobre todo no son capaces de construir alianzas ? Pues me parece que sois todos una bandilla de egoistas que solo piensa a valorar a su ego frente a los demas sin ningun interes a su propia comunidad. Nos os habeis dado cuenta ya que solo los grupos que ponen sus intereses en comum son capaces de construir barcos valiosos y por lo menos defender dignamente una PB ? Me parece que la palabra "humildad" o "abnegacion" no existe en vuestro vocabulario. Os aseguro que dentro del grupo VLTRA, a pesar de incluir gente con ego muy fuerte, aquellas palabras tenian sentido, y con eso se consiguio construir un grupo numeroso y eficiente. Lobo gris, siento decirte que necesitas humildad y dejar de hechar la culpa a los demas, esta clarisimo que a pesar de tus ambiciones de animar la faccion Española, no tienes las herramientas para esto. Solo tu motivacion es valiosa. Dejate de criticar y ponte ya dentro de un grupo para seguirlo y contribuir con tus esfuerzos.

Indeed mortar brig was a key in SW/DA battle. With this "never see before" efficiency, we all should wonder about ships speed & turn speed Vs armour & thickness.

So glad to see a full French fleet in a PB ! after so long without PB's it could not have been possible to win that one. Keep it up frogies !!

Heavy storms in OW that could consume Rig repairs !! The longer you stay in that storm the lower your rig level Such a storms are realistic, captains had to change their routs to avoid the storm zone, or stay at port.

Do not forget "war supply" issue ! Those are expensive ressources, flips will get easier some day.

Totaly agreed with Cimbi: Rum: I wish crew should not be as easily repaired. Crew loss is a drastic issue that captains had to face. Any future modification that could significantly decrease this mechanic would be welcome. in Battle the only way to somehow offset your crew losses should be after a successful boarding where defeated crews could be purchased (the former Perk was good). You need new crew ? go back to ports. You lost most crew in battle, you likely loose your ship.

Hey Redii, Thx for your visit here. Now that we know you're reading our post here, could you reply to a few questions as follow: - Do you think it was a good move from Sweeden to attack Sant Iago ? and do you assume it now ? - After the recent post between Sweeds & Danes, it was revealed that Sweeden, after taking those Pirate ports, and mainly due to that new Victory Marks mechanic, was going to go for Spanish ports so Sweeden could get the Map Win. Do you assume this ? - Also, some rumors are telling that Lord Vicious has joined (through alts) your faction... After all the criticism up on SORRY from Sweeds, do you confirm this rumor ? Thx for your expected replies. Cheers

Pues, al final estan llegando en el buen camino: Ahora cualquier jugador de cualquier faccion puede craftear todo los barcos sin excepcion !! Han dejado los CM y ahora los VM ! solo hace falta combat marks. Con un poco de paciencia los costes en combat marks se ajustaran a la baja. ANIMO tios !!

AT LAST !! The EU server really needed these : ==> The 2 EU server "superpowers" are fighting each other, with total unpredictible outcome regarding Region controls. ==> After almost 2 years, Spanish faction is establishing a friendly relationship with the Brits, with a potentiality to create a new strategical factor from the West. ==> Pirates clans can interfere anywhere with a very good PVP level players, with full independance in their choice to support different Factions. ==> USA, French & Dutch can become important allies in the current new conflict. All the above can move forward without critical mechanics, because: ==> Thx to Dev's adjustment, ANY war ships are now available (craftable) for any players from any nation with Combat Marks ONLY.

Dear Pirates community, Due to recent important events among your community. Due to constant changes of mechanics that do not allow any long run (even short run) strategy for a faction group. As consquencies to the above, Pirates are today in a new situation with several clans involving a good amount of veterans & tough PVP players. Also, in term of region hold, Pirates might be in difficulty to sustain wars against other factions. So it could be time for Pirates to: Either, try to unify the main current clans toward global actions, as a "nation" (but it looks very unlikely). Or, to go for Mercenary clan behaviours with other & different factions. (Pirates forces could re-balance some upcoming wars with important & profitable screening actions).

Hey all, Rum: I wish crew should not be as easily repaired. Crew loss is a drastic issue that captains had to face. Any future modification that could significantly decrease this mechanic would be welcome. in OW the only way to somehow offset your crew losses should be after a successful boarding where defeated crews could be purchased. Ransom: Could we imagine to be able to get some "hostages" as rewards ? some rich officers or clercs or aristocrat pasengers could be part of the rewards when succesfull boarding, or even rescuing while looting a sinking ship. Then these prisoneers could be sold at different prices in ports, the Capitals would pay more for these hostages.

Dear Sancho, Great pity to see the Spanish faction reaching such a miserable situation, but all of us cannot deny following facts: - This NA laboratory where we try to have fun is constantly reformed with new mechanics that create natural unstability among players who try to build Faction strategy. - This unstability generates low player population & motivation. - Spanish faction has always been mostly populated by Spanish speaking players, with its cultural quality & defect. - Spanish clans hardly managed to agree for common interest, entailing several desasters in NA history. - Only good will led an important group of Spanish players to create the large VLTRA clan as the only solution for the Spanish faction to effectively react and fight. - Diplomacy has always been very hard on behalf of the Spanish faction, the SORRY partnership was a good issue for a long time and somehow kept the Spanish faction in good wealth. Today, a large group of Spanish players have decided to sail in other waters, these players are the one who gave so much for the common interest of their faction. There is no fault here or there, it's the right of any player to migrate where they feel like. It's pointless to always blame others, we all look for fun. What is hopeful is to see a new group of Spanish players to unify and manage their faction adequately, do not forget the respectful PLVS clan who is part of the Spanish faction's backbone. Always remember: Post tenebras lux PS: para Lobo, dejate de criticar y actua ahora.

La verdad para mi es, a pesar de ser siempre optimista como lo explique en mi primero post arriba, que no veo los Dev's como Dioses que decidan del destino de tal o tal Faccion o mecanicas. Les veo mejor como "sientificos" con ropa blanca y nosotros los testeadores como las putas ratas de este maldito laboratorio. Y la verdad es que los experimentos consecutivos que hemos sufrido no han dado ningun sentido hasta ahora. Esperare a la proxima injeccion, para ver los efectos del narco-partche, antes de decidir de irme pa una curra de desintoxicacion o no.

Well, this one is more comprehensive, not sure whether this is still valid today, why should it not ? but let's keep a reserve on that hypothetical "nasty gameplay" issue till it's updated.

ok, let's close this topic. We managed to resolve as gentlemen a ponctual issue due to a Bug. Then I tried to resume how we arrived where we are today, giving you the current feeling of the PLVS-VLTRA clans. Let's all enjoy that damn beta NA ! good wind all Frog

Horatio, We don't need the type of rubish you're writting. Both Brits faction players & Spanish faction players can perfectly talk together with a minimum of education, just to give sens to our discussion, even if we're fighting each other. Alucard is being respectful you're not, whatever the difference of opinions.

Well, I quite not fully understand the different chapters, but if it says as you mention, then it's a new factor that never taken into account by us. Hence, my position is changed and I retract my "nasty gameplay" statement. (unless I misunderstood what the links really confirm...) Thx for that info.

Grundge, Something is game mechanic and something else is game strategy. - As soon as a group of players understand the new mechanic rules they are supposed to work them, that is what we did. We organized and built ships. Is there any unfairness here ??? nope. - Is it the fault of those organized Spanish players that another Faction (outnumbering Spanish) cannot progress the way they would like ??? nope. - If we built very costy first rate ships is to use them, why should we build them otherwise ? why should we look for a risky flipping ? - Because a Faction cannot show heavy ships, we should refrain and bring same level of war ships...Then, because we cannot show enough players for screening, we would appreciate the enemy to bring even number of players... - Friendly fire to set explosion of ships is not legal tool is a "nasty gameplay". I will change my position if you give us a confirmation that friendly fire to set explosion is allowed by Dev's.

Please, I may not be precise enough, sorry for that. What is blameworthy is to purposely friendly fire at your costless basic cutters among much larger ships, (with overpowered explosions) not the fact of using basic cutter itself.

Friendly port fliping is legal, you know it but did it very late. Omoa flipping was totaly legal & within the rules, but our first rate fleet was unacceptable for you...did we misplay somewhere ? Total war declaration was an over-reaction to what happened to Omoa, eccessive role playing I guess...

Grundge, did we ever use the "friendly explosion with costless basic cutters" tactic ? nope. As a matter of fact, Dev's corrected that bug since explosions were far too devastating upon larger ships. So this was a desparate action, but are players rightfull to use a bug to get away from a tactical inferiority ? i say no and it was nasty gameplay. you could confess it.

I think you got me wrong. Omoa ==> what was nasty gameply is "friendly explosion of costless basic cutters", or do you justify this ? "We have literally nothing since wipe" ==> I mentioned that fact, slightly minimized though. "You called for Dev's" ==> Not complaining, I know they're "NA's Gods", but we precisely applyed God's rules since wipe, with huge efforts, never imposed our supposingly rules.

The mentioned bitterness is related to an addition of circumstances with a final effect, not only about this last Bug (with effects that have been sorted out without Dev's help).

Ok I got it now, but posting here or in other topics, is not really the term to "approach" the Dev's. My apology for misunderstanding your wording. Cheers

Gaizka, Te doy la razon, por mi pueblo hay un dicho: "lo que no mata te da mas fuerza". Sin embargo, hay que mencionar que esta ocuriendo una crisis mayor no solo con nuestro tema, pero con la PB de Cap Français. Los Daneses y Suecos han sido tambien victima de desesperante bugs, lo han puesto en tribunal y el admin a borrado mas de 90 post... Los Dioses de este pequeño mundo virtual lo estan haciendo fatal, no se a donde va esto... Ahora, como tu dices, de momento la Faccion Española no esta tan mal (a parte de la moral de nuestros compadres). Tenemos 2 fronteras (Sur-Oeste y Centro) con puertos bien armados. Solo queda el Norte donde habra que preparar una contra-ofensiva con mucho cuidado y con la ayuda de nuestros aliados Americanos. A pesar que eso nos cuesta mucho tiempo, ya hemos aprendido como enfrentarse a las adversidades ! no ?
