I don't mind a whipe. Just do it properly. Full whipe as soon as possible so we can test new Eco and new crafting.

if you guys want to do the ship wipe I would go one step further and do a full wipe to test economy as well. Might as well do it now. a lot of people will always hate the thought of a wipe. I think its better to do it proper once instead of multiple partial wipes

This Discussion is a waste of valuable development time. You guys shouldn't even get coughs up with dumb reviews like this. Concentrate on the game and your work will speak volumes over some narrow minded BS on steam.

In my opinion it really doesn't matter that much of ship a did something against ship b. What matters here how reality transfers into a game environment. We went from different extremes to extremes here. With the introduction of damage model 5.0 a SOL was virtually untouchable for a frigate class ship. It has been addressed and tweaked. No we are in the other extreme. A halfway decent player can take any SOL with a frigate by sterncamping and sniping the crew of the SOL. I am confident we can get to a system were both ships stand a decent chance of coming out of such an engagement victorious. (With the SOL having an advantage that has to be overcome by the small ships captain through superior play) Atm I have to agree with many of the above posters that crew damage is too high. Just killed over 100 crew off a santi with a mediocre rake yesterday.

I agree that not all ships need to be gold. Current pricing where gold only needs 2x as much fine wood as green does only encourages crafting gold or grey. IMHO initialcost of green needs to come done with cost of fine would going up exponentially for better quality rather then linear as it is.

the drop rate of fine woods is rng. some are having better luck with it then others. today i harvested 800 bermuda cedar and got 34 compass wood. i have had around 2,5 fine cedar logs for every 100 regular cedar woods. you can do the math on how long it takes to produce the wood for a ship yourself.

So that small nations with 25 very active players rule supreme over nations with 500 players that don't leave the green zone? Number of accounts or even active players don't mean they participate in RVR. Balancing is very difficult in a game where people can choose which side to play for. Plus I don't think all nations need to have the same population and the same share of territory for the game to work. Alliances have brought balancing very far already imho. Just a matter of coordination. Btw. Coordinating 100 British ships to be at the same spot at the same time is probably not a lot easier then 100 captains from different nations (language barriers aside)

Apart from the fact that I can hardly imagine how that should work: NO

I think you can close it And open a new one in another town. Just make sure it's empty before you close. (Might be wrong haven't tried personally) Free towns and allied towns: don't know if that works.

No you didn't get me. I couldn't care less if they join servers personally and I am not advocating to do so. All I'm wondering is why so many U.S. Guys can play without having ping issues while for others it seems to be game breaking. On the issue of a forced balance of player numbers I can tell you that a lot of players are playing with role play, history, language and other reasons in mind, when they choose a nation to play for. Putting restrains on them to force a balance in player numbers is imho the wrong way to go. And while Caesar will continue to bring the topic up because he thinks it's good, I will argue against it. No need to get personal and attack me for it voicing his wish for me to quit the game.

Stay classy mate! :-)

You can repeat that force balancing thing as long as you want. I'm sure a whole lot of people would rather quit the game then play for another nation.On the issue of ping: a lot of players in my PVP1 clan live and play in the U.S. And don't seem to have ping problems

What's all that about anyways. If devs decide to give a ship or blue print to somebody they can do that all day long without having to explain that to anybody. I don't like the fact that some bps are more or less exclusive but that's a whole different story. Congratulations to the winners of the tournament. Enjoy your prices. Thx to the developers for their support to that community event. I hope good data was produced that helps to refine combat mechanics further.

WE as in "this gaming community" Less toxic "you suck" posts and more "hey this was fun, congratulations on your effort" posts would be a good thing for the community. Obviously you don't have to agree with me here. I would still assume there are more players in "we the community" that would agree then the other way around.

Thx cutler and thx Alan for a description of what really happened. We really need more of this kind of posts and less of the LV kind of posts i think. Would support redmans attempt at a battle like this as well. A similar battle was offered to the French fleet some weeks ago but unfortunately never happend.

Doesn't count. It was a teak l'ocean

People are still playing? Thought everyone is just waiting for the patch ;-)

Want us to find all the "we will fight till the end, never surrender" posts from the Spanish, when Brits just stopped with you still having 20+ ports? It was up to you to stop and you didn't and that's fine with me. What I don't like is the hypocrisy that comes with it. Cut the bullshit and stand to what you did... Done, story over. Next round after the patch. Don't understand why you still try to find fault with the others. You wanted moral high ground all the time. It was there for you to take it. You didn't. You are no better then the rest of all the people that used exploits and pushed it beyond the boundaries of what is good for the community. I don't hold that against you because it was all within the rules of the game. But please acknowledge that it was you who could have stopped it and didn't. That's the least you could do.

A handful of ports taken is "almost destroying" them. Laughable. You have shown your double standards in the last weeks again. Taking as many empty ports as you can is part of the game and by that standard fair game. But Never start your crying orgy in the forums again Ike that one night where the Dutch were assisted by 15 British first rates and your tears washed over us for "destroying the game", please.

Again: not sure if taking 6-8 ports on Cuba and the caimans (plus some in the gulf that have never been contested by either Spain or GB) can be called "pummeled" We had some great battles for sant Ingo and a set goal. Take those 6 ports in Cuba and the caimans and that's it.

Their is a rather large group of Aussies playing on PVP1 and even clans made of Australians and kiwis. If it was unplayable due to ping I wonder how they do it... Hmm. It's a mystery.

How does stopping the war when Spain had 20+? Ports left and giving them back an additional 13 ports only keeping a handful Spain took from us before, reduce them to a fraction of a faction??? In my book the treaty was more than fair.

lovely to see all these people that have been crying murder when spain was "reduced" to 11 ports trying to one port the dutch. real men you are, indeed :-)

Lol... Please Tomms stop fact checking LV all the time. It's just not fair. Please let him get by with his Propaganda. I specifically like the part where he insults all his teammates as "retards" Maybe you should divert your picture editing skills towards censoring the chat rather then faking the ship list, LV
