  1. Fireships and scuttling ships are valid tactics in war. I see no reason to disable them.

    Of course these were historically accurate, however the crew jumped overboard before making contact with the enemy, and they were well under crewed. At least from history I read.

  2. A new video is up :)

     

    Brave brave snow. Nice of you to give props to others. About that part where all ships are smashed into one ship, it happens too often to me during massive lag spikes; massive meaning 10k and up. It's pretty weird, as this is the only game I've seen react this way. Most games during lag spikes simply stop moving, not smash them all together in the center of the map. It's kind of fun when it happens in PB's, as you get to see the ships inside tower also. heh

  3. Will there be assassins too? Japanese shadow warriors sneaking into enemy towns and ...

     

     

    Oh.... yes, and "kamikaze" rammers and fire ships.... oh nevermind... we apparently have those already. Damn mechanics.

    We do have some bounty hunters tho.... :)

  4. Conquest information is buggy some times, but I kind of like that it gives quite limited information and you have to keep up with your pop-ups on screen, or be the one who constantly have to ask your mates on TeamSpeak what's going on.

    i love when im afk and ask nation chat and they yell in CAPS to check the map, but the timer doesnt say anything about the flag already planted :/

  5. I don't like the fact you cannot escape once leaking. That kind of pre-determines your death if you have lost a side and forces you to wait around for it.

    I liked the old system of attempt to run and escape if you can get far enough from battle.

    I agree, but I think they are trying to get more "surrender or sink" to happen rather than insta repairs once outside of battle, which isn't very realistic.

  6. About leaks:

    Yesterday I was in a port battle and I received 11 leaks, despite being at heeling 0°.

    This gave me 40% flooding, just a few more might have been too much. This really can't be right, it's one thing if you heel away at 10° like an idiot in a Trincomalee, but my Essex was exactly upright. Yet mass leaks from a broadside.

    Were the leaks recorded above the line or below? As far as I can tell the 0 0 above the line is for port and starboard holes above the water line and the 0 0 below the line are port and starboard holes below the water line

  7.  

    • Penetrating leaks under waterline take slightly more water

     

    Slightly? Sadly I've sunk too many players and NPC giving them 7-10 leaks in one broadside and down they go in less than 2 minutes. Maybe NPC isn't running repair/survival?

  8. I'd like to see a list of active clans on the PvP2 server. The intent is to show activity on the PvP2 server in hopes of preventing the "possible" server merge. This is also an attempt to provide new players direct links to clan recruitment pages. Hopefully, this forum will create server and nation specific boards in the near future. Until then, I thought I'd make this nation categorized list.

    Props to www.navalactioncraft.com for their map work and getting all the ports updated.

  9. I made a suggest last week about players going to other nations asking for a Letter of Marque or to change their Citizenship. This would be a national vote, or a vote by the new Parliament/Rulers that will be implemented in the Politics/Diplomacy patch.

    I would suggest these nationality changes should be recorded and held in player history so that those voting to let new citizens in can decide based on whether the player is just a Nation Hopper.

  10. agreed, indeed. Plus, seeing 20x Santis, 20x Vics, 20x Pavels. 20x Bellonas, all in the same fleet is quite ridiculous. Especially if they're just sailing into random ports and randomly spawning in other nation's ports. Makes no sense. I'd also like to see them as each individual ship in OW and not one ship for an entire fleet. Maybe AI should be sailing only their nation's ships.

  11. Player "alts" admitting they are used for spying or anything in that relation to it can be reported with the report function.

    It is pretty common sense that the nation chats are not safe to discuss war plans and such. ;)

    Truth indeed, however it's come to many USA clans' attention that some in clans are spies. But if this isn't a hit in a cpl days, then it certainly can be closed.

  12. The only proof you can get is personal confirmation. At this point you report with right click on the name -> report and you're done.

     

    Reported as an attempt at witch hunt and public lynch. Nothing good can come from this.

    This is certainly no witch hunt, however I could see it being construed as such. However, according to tribunal posts from admins, there is no rule against having alt accounts. And there are no rules against having player bounties. These two will indeed feed off one another increasing PvP.
