He didn´t say the Basic Cutter will go away (removed), he said, the BC being used to swarm other players is a temporarily problem, and this behaviour will most likely go away.

Just noticed that this thread is in the tribunal... @admin or mods Well feel free to delete my posts. ;(

Sure he could, but the way they are doing it now allows both of them to have fleet traders... Besides that ,a counter tag is somehow realistic since one ships "attacks" the enemies to slow them down enough so the other ship can escape. And then the other ship will still be on OW and attackable. Quite a difference if you ask me.

Maybe it is you who don´t get that you may have chosen the wrong "faction"? You knew what you were picking, and now it´s you guys who want to have more stuff. You do not have to get involved in RvR as pirate, you could actually play as pirate and capture ships instead of wanting to build them. Do missions or capture traders then buy anything up to 5th rate and go pirating. Do not chose pirate and act like a national. I blame devs for not being "hardcore" when they decided to create the current pirate model like it is, but I also blame players that pick pirates and act like nationals (wanting to craft and capture ports). The devs wanted to make the game way more "hardcore" (challenging) but yet they don´t alter the mechanics so that they are real pirates . Maybe they don´t want to put that much coding work in it? Again: Do not chose pirates if you want RvR and crafting, and then complain about their disadvantages regarding RvR and crafting... It is the players that treat the Pirates as a RvR nation..because the game mechanic still allows it. I hope one day devs finally remove those mechanics and maybe we won´t see any pirates that are asking for something that has nothing to do with being a pirate. If most Pirate players would be acting like pirates, devs would maybe see the need to give them pirate mechanics instead of what we have now. Acting like a nation but still wanting to be something else doesn´t really fit in my opinion. Wouldn´t you like a real pirate experience more instead of this half baked nation?

Too bad they couldn´t make their trading ships invisible back then... Honestly man, you can´t be serious. This exploit makes it impossible to attack/sink/capture their trading ships->game breaking.

Neither nor... They are a bastardized nation. They shouldn´t get involved in RvR at all. I guess the average freebooter would not care about politics, he would care about getting plenty of loot.

flawless logic.. They didn´t bring cannons to not waste 2million gold, instead they only waste their unarmed ships? If they would really wanted to save money they wouldn´t have shown up, or escaped as soon as they realized they wouldn´t stand a chance (IF this wouldn´t have been an arranged PB for valuable marks...)

...player who exploit a game are never a symptome, they are a problem!

What would be the goal of those changes?

So wie es aussieht wissen das zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nicht einmal die Devs selber.

Wasn´t it like 15 knots hard limit in instances? @testing Why don´t you give us access to all ships, if you want us to test these things? A few aren´t buildable and the others would take way too much work to build (on a test server that could be wiped anytime). I´m pretty sure you devs have dev tools and are able to spawn any ship/item you like, so go ahead and test them or give us redeemables to test them.

Built-in crew space in gold/exceptional gives +5% crew allready...

-The brits showed up after we allready intercepted the flag...and it wasn´t a secret that we would attack road town to take it from the pirates to defend our homewater and the window was visible even for the brits... -how can we know if you guys have production in this port or not and it doesn´t matter if you had, you gave that port to the pirates (our enemies) so they could attack our homewaters, we had to react and not wait if we could actually believe you after you gave the port away -your flag leader had no clan and joined RUS clan the day after -we didn´t wanna keep that port we simply didn´t want to give it back right after we captured it since we couldn´t trust you guys at this very moment, half of your nation was pro pirates and anti swede adn the rest didn´t want the pirates to have that port, So you expect us to give it back immediately without having diplomatic talk first to find out what your stance is towards us? Let me quote you: -we attacked the ports in the timer window you guys created/set, wanna blame us for that lol? And we even announced it publicaly before attacking, maybe that´s why brits thought it is the best time to attack your western front? -and frenchs backstabbed us (there was a deal that they wouldn´t interfere in this war which they broke) and took our southern ports while we were busy fighting you guys and they didn´t even declare war at that time, they did it after they backstabbed us. And you blame us for attacking the french while they were fighting the dutch and their timers were open? really? -Lots of british player rerolled to us? Wtf are you talking about? -we were given those exile ports when you guys (with the help of the backstabbing frenchs) captured allmost all of our ports...so we could continue to produce ships and keep playing...and that is a friendly act Still not allied...and we didn´t gain anything actually we lost something.... Never said you personaly wanted to build a friendly relationship, but the rest of the gang posting here claims that this could be the start of it...which is a lot of diplomatic bla bla bla in my opinion. PS: There is also one or two of your "friends(I should say allies according to your definition)" sailing under swedish flag, but I guess that doesn´t matter, since it doesn´t fit in this argument.

And they have lots of room to the west and south-west to expand their territory where no enemy capital is even close.

No Rosaly and Roseau are the nearest silver ports. PS: I wouldn´t call that in the middle of their homewaters, just take a look how much "room" they have. It´s more like in the middle of there northern waters (upper 1/3).

Sweden was never allied with brits, there is and was never a real alliance it was and is a friendly relationship. They were fighting the pirates too and helped us when we were down to 1 port by giving us exile ports. And we never attacked you with the brits or helped them attacking you as far as I know. When we took Road Town from pirates we got help from dutchs and the brits showed up too but they weren´t ask to help and later after you guys declared war they were busy fighting elsewhere. As far as I know the two ports were meant to be given back to us anyways (according to what I was told). About the KF site you have to ask someone else since I really don´t know the link, but I think someone else will post it here. But I think I know the "announcement" you are referring to. Regarding "Im sure the Swedes will do the same thing again and again, so we might as well be in war": What would you do if you were in our position, being blocked to the west and "east" with no possibility to enlarge the territory ever without having to fight against two Nations + their friends? Do you really think our nations only deserves that amount of ports while our neighbours have 20+ ports? And then we are supposed to give away a port in the middle of our homewater to the frenchs that has no value for them for getting ports that provides us with necessary resources? If we would get all ports north of terre-de-bas and camp du roy it would not hurt them at all they would still have enough ports to provide them with all necessary resources. And we would have room to live and breath and could feel as respected neighbour. This treaty only belittles us and is disrespectful in my opinion, we showed what we are able to do and should have earned some respect from our neighbours since we fought allways fair and proved that we can stand our ground, after the new port battle system went live!! All our neighbours have at least double the amount of ports as we do and don´t really need all of them and act as if it is a big deal for them to give 2 ports away and the french even ask for St.Johns in return? Is that attitude really a good base to form a friendship on?

Und genau das wäre ja der Effekt des Rigging Shock. Man kann für ~30 Sekunden weder die Masten drehen noch die Segel setzen. Vielleicht ist der Effekt verbuggt gewesen und ohne Grund aufgetreten?

Hattest du zufällig einen Rigging Shock erlitten?

Yea the mighty swedes backstabbed the poor danes...and of course totally unprovoked...those pesky swedes should have kept silent and be glad that they were allowed to play the game by their neighbours.... If you are too blind to see what Danes gain from this treaty then I feel sorry for you. They didn´t gain a single port from this because they have all the ports they will ever need at the current state of the game. But they gained the freedom to concentrate purely on their westfront with their ally...

Again why did you demand that "strategical" port then? (I don´t think I will ever get a reasonable answer to this question from you guys) There is a lot of hard feelings left on both sides as you can see here. @ ÆthlstanPlenty of gank squads? Seriously man... And you nicely circumvented/left out the interesting part of the second argument/question you quoted. You guys complain about being constantly ganked in your homewaters (which isn´t possible because of the low playerbase but well within the boundaries of the treaty we had back then) and state this is the main reason for your hate against the swedes, and then demand a so called strategical port in our home waters and feel totally comfortable with that? And don´t even start that "swedes did constantly hunt traders" which is highly overexagerated and it happened on all sides! And what you hope to not happen doesn´t matter. Only what is part of that treaty actually matters...this port has no use at all for you except being a gank spot, you don´t need it to buy flags since Deshaies and Aves are well within range of danish homewaters. Seems like the danish aren´t too happy with that treaty either...

Betrayed by swedes because of open pvp in their waters according to the treaties? We didn´t even have enough players to constantly "gank" your players in your homewaters as you claim! Look at the map and count how many ports you still have and how many we have. And we have to give you a "strategical" port in the middle of our homewaters while you are allowed to pvp there? To start so called gank squads from there, which should be acceptable for us but you claim exactly this behaviour to be the reason for the war and "hate" against us? We lost St Johns, St. George and Basse-Terre and get Camp du Roy and Rosaly so we are 1 down. Marigot and Fort Baai are supposed to be ours anyway (by the same defintion the other nations use for their claimed territories). You don´t lose 4 ports, you give 2 ports back to sweden and have the abillity to enlarge your territory to the west which we can´t!! ^see above, you are free to claim all the ports right next to your homewaters to the west. Fort Baai and Marigot were supposed to be given back to us anyway. You have nothing to complain about, since you are able to enlarge your territory without creating additional borders, we and the french won´t be able to take ports next to our homewaters!

Destroy something such as this onesided treaty, that should never exist isn´t a bad thing. Your demands are disrespectfull towards us! And why "our" council even considered to sign that treaty is beyond me.

Big nations will be part of alliances too. So how does this even out things for small nations? I mean if the three biggest nations would be in the same alliance (unlikely but possible) how are the small nations supposed to be a factor? Or are we bound to ally with the biggest nation?

PVP doesn´t automatically mean PBs.

And what´s the the reason for demanding St.Johns then? What I would consider a fair deal: -sweden gets all ports north of terre-de-bas/camp du roy including marigot and fort baai -open PVP in all territories except hunting traders or new/low rank players (so players can still have fun without travelling/teleporting to center or west of world map -smugglers are free to travel in all territories I thought Drunkensloth stopped playing?
