you can raise hostility at 1am on EU but the battle will still happen at 17-00 UTC triggering immediately but happening at 1700
how is it different from today? did you think the questions through?The system you propose is actually better because 1700 is just way too early for people who work full time jobs in the CET time zone. I expect we'll set our ports to 1900 UTC. Plus you have daylight saving problems. So yes, it is different.
I'm definitely willing to test this before we toss it, but the one big problem I can see from here is the lack of a warning system when your ports get attacked. I remember flags, sitting in ports for 2 hours until our windows closed because doing anything meant you'd be too late to react to a real assault flag. I think the same thing might happen here.
I'd like to repeat the "fixed assault flag" I posted in a different thread that would completely eliminate the issue of fake flags:Make it so players have to dedicate themselves to a flag. if they are dedicated to one flag, they can't change it for an hour or until that flag is destroyed. Broadcast who is dedicated to which flag. If there's a flag with only one player dedicated to it, it is a fake flag and can be ignored. If you're not dedicated to the flag, you cannot join the PB it creates, and you can only dedicate to the flag when you are docked in the same port as the flag is right now.

I forgot, who did we take La Navasse, Portillo and those other ports from? Was it not at least in Part the British?
I don't know about the others, Sveno I think once mentioned it, but we are now limited by outposts. I can't open another one, so if we decided to attack the British now, I'd have to abandon an outpost I need. Besides, aren't the British being absolutely slaughtered by the Spanish? Every time I see a PB screenshot, it's just sunk sunk sunk sunk sunk for the Royal Navy. -

I didn't actually accuse the swedes for being cowardly gankers.. I accused them for being cowards that ran when the fight didn't prove that easy..
You might want to ninja edit your previous post first before posting that. Or is calling people gankers and calling people cowards different from calling them cowardly gankers?
EDIT: We actually expected a fair and close fight.. But if they don't give us a decent fight when we invite them right outside of their capital we kill what we get..
Oh please. Everyone knows you don't get a fight in front of KPR if you show up with 1500 BR.

lol look in the Carribean news section.. When we got dragged in there were about 4-5 players in the port of KPR and we were literally right outside of the port.. For some reason the brits only dare to fight if they are 15 against 4-5 of ours..
I don't see how any of that matters. Proper chivalry would dictate you don't exploit the rookie mistake of a newbie. It's okay you get the free kill anyways, but then don't accuse others of being "cowardly gankers".

In PBs the swedish fleet is atm the best - but I just ran off four guys against me and assassin last night.. A more shamefull display of cowardice has seldom been seen.. I don't mind the ganking (much) but they should have the balls to follow through..
Judging by the latest Tribunal thread, isn't this a huge case of pot calling the kettle black?

There's a reason the list is as short as it is.

I maintain that the issue of a server split, with enforced protected zones for Europeans, came down simply to the fact that the Europeans wanted to win.
Well, it seems they have done so, and in doing, reminded me of a poem.
And you didn't? You didn't want the system because you wanted your free wins just the same. Hypocrite.
-
The true zerg was pirates all along anyways.
-
POBS had that and you quit the moment you weren't winning anymore. Just like now. How would that be different for you Pierrick?
-
Yeah July 2016 guy tells me I'm the new guy...
-
Yeah, a PVP and a PVE server. "PVP Global" and the separation of the pvp player base is entirely your fault =)
-
From what I understand, the two things are not comparable. And yeah, Vicious isn't responsible for there being two PVP servers, that's on you apparently. That's far worse than all the other things combined.

Well they didn't and as an result we have now two PvP servers.....
Oh, so that's Christendom's fault? wow.

It's so incredibly confusing to read your posts because you're making no sense. You were US diplo, but you were asked to leave GB... ? what?
It's also a huge difference to be asked once, and this whinging by the non-gamer Kierrip and others for *months* now.The really amusing part here is your hypocrisy, instead of agreeing with sweden because of your bad experience of being asked this in the past, you suddely switch sides. I guess because it benefits you now...

Made what up?
No Swedish key player came to you and asked you to leave Britain. There was no reason to. Sweden and Britain ever really fight each other? I surely don't recall that happening even once. Britain was never "too strong". If they expanded too far east, RUS came and pushed them back. if they expanded too far north, pirates beat them back.
There was no one south, so central america is British, and there was no one west. The only nation that really struggled in the fight against Britain was Spain, who constantly lost ports like Cuyo and Selam. -
You made that up.

Seems like the Swedes (and everyone else) had more competition back before 3 more nations were introduced. An already small talent pool was even more diluted with 3 additional nations to fill. Sweden being at the top of the food chain of course suffered the least.
Incorrect, Sweden lost a major RVR clan to the new nations. I don't think anyone left France. They clearly suffered the least from this. I doubt anyone left Spain either (in fact, they regained one of their major clans during that time?).

It's not our fault you're not a gamer Pierrick. You rather win empty ports in Louisiana with EDR, because all you want is instant gratification and "victories". You don't want to be challenged. You hoped we'd leave for Prussia, so you can have Guadeloupe back without a fight - because fights are bad, you might not win 100% of the time.
PFK left for P-L, but you wanted everyone to abandon Sweden, so you'd never have to fight for "your" ports again.If you weren't completely ignorant about European history, you'd know there is no reason for the majority of German players to associate with Prussia., because Prussia was not and never has been "Germany". Can you even define the "privilege" we supposedly have? Being better than you are at shooting cannons and sailing ships is not a privilege. And we're not the only ones. When EDR attacked British Panama last year, you lost every single battle. You never win even fights, It's always a completely one-sided slaughter as French ship after French ship goes down.
You have the numbers. Your last PB you attacked Camp du Roy and you had 20 first rates screen for the PB fleet. Twenty First Rates. You lost the PB, as usual, and then cried about Sweden using better tactics. Why don't you switch nations, btw? You're doing France a disservice here.
It is pure hypocrisy (as expected after 10 years of EDR) that you accuse us of not wanting a "challenge" when you avoid the challenge right in front of you every day for months now.
A true gamer would be happy to have a challenge so close to home. But you're not a gamer, none of EDR are. -

I think its funny!
Sweden understands that is OP, that nobody wants to play with them anymore. Yet, insted of doing the right thing, disband this OP group and join other weaker nations., they start complaining. Asking for closer Pve missions(lol) or the old Pvp event were they ganked ppl on a daily basis. Great stuff, just great!
It's not our fault you are not a gamer and don't want to be challenged, but part of the instant gratification crowd who should be playing a Modern Military shooter where you float from success to success on autopilot.

Do you know what you are talking about?
And would you say that automobiles are suited for driving on tarmac?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_in_U.S._by_year
Prince de Neufchatel has low freeboard, a lot of guns and a huge rig, all sitting on top of a rather skimpy displacement. You'd be much better off sailing the cutter through a storm. And of course, Prince was taken by a lumbering ship of the line because she couldn't sail fast in those conditions.
Are you saying large ships are suited to sail in storms? Because large ships were completely lost in storms as well, there are many examples. He specifically stated small ships are unsuited to sail in storms. That implies large ships are. Which is not true. Storms were dangerous for ships of all sizes back then.
Your tarmac example is nonsense, because that's the standard condition a car is supposed to be driven at. Storms are not.
I'd like a source on Prince being captured in an actual storm, not just strong winds. Beaufort scale 10 or higher, please.
When you look for that source, maybe you'll also find that your statement" lumbering ship of the line" to be incorrect, Leander and Newcastle were 50 gun frigates, built in response to the ConstitutionNo, as usual, it's just Matrollin.

Speed should also be capped in OW when there is a storm and you are in a small ship or at least get damage if not severe damage.
A prince is not suited to sail in a storm
That is already in the game and has been for a very long time (the speed reduction)
BTW, are you saying large ships are suited to sail in storms?

Game needs more curated PVP. Preferably of course initiated by players.
