I agree with you. The current model of this game is unsustainable. Night fips/day flips aside, even just the current model of unlocking ports by grinding PVE missions is unsustainable. It's getting old very fast. I personally didn't mind the old lord protector system, It was definitely more exciting seeing the Spanish pull a flag on Las Torgtugas at 1am and the US scrambling to find the carrier or intercept the fleet.....only to find out it was just one guy named EL LOCO. There needs to be some happy mix of both systems, but I'm not sure what.

But you're missing the number 1 issue with multiple servers. The game DOES NOT have enough people to support multiple servers. If the US leaves this server, the game dies and everyone loses. But hey, at least you'll stop getting battles at night. This is incredibly short-sighted. If the game ever launches regional servers should be a priority, but right now while the player base is just too small.

This is a joke. Maybe if you guys actually left your waters they would not be quitting. This game has been dead for months, night flips are just the latest excuse people are using. You know why RUS / RDNN has basically quit the game? Because they can not get into port battles and fight 25v25. They constantly get screened out because their side does not have enough of a screening force. Their allies do not show up in force to help them, chiefly among them the Spanish. The last time to full RUS / RDNN fleet was seen during the Wilmington fight and they were so badly screened out it made them quit the game. No French showed up to help. No Spanish showed up to help. The last 3 times I was at Castries I was part of the screening fleets full of US / Dutch / Brit players. I have yet to see any Spanish over there. I did see 2-3 of you guys over at Santa Domingo, so good job keep it up. Night flips are just the latest excuse for why people are quitting this game. Lack of content, slow patches / fixes, Devs never seem to get things right .... you name it. The US has been doing consistent night flips for 5-6 weeks now and if anything the average population has gone up slightly. How do you explain such poor numbers since the fine wood patch? Can you blame all of that on the Americans? The US has done nothing but reasonable with the Spanish towards its port battles. One a week, we always show up, both sides have a good fight and we say good game. We have not complained when you re-flip the port at 11am on a working day when there is zero chance of us putting together a reasonable fleet, both of our last PBs I believe were full and had an assortment of US / Dutch / Brit Players. Should we stop boycotting all your morning battles then? Let's boycott everything !!!! It's part of the game, we get over it and move on. The Danes really pissed off the US player based on their Christmas truce bullshit and we've had to go after them, we have not done anything of the sort to the Spanish. We have always had good fights and reasonable dealings for months, it would be a shame to see you guys showing up because you think it would fix the game. It will not. What happened to the CELTI fleet that would pull flags on the US in the Bahamas or Las Tortugas at 12 midnight eastern time? Where did your balls go? So much shame

That's ancient history. This is the "what have you done for me lately league", and right now you're batting below .500 We of course would be willing to teach you a few tricks ;-)

Pirates saved our bacon today. We scraped together 24 strong hull ships between 3 nations. Didn't even get a 25th in until some random surprise joined. So yes we had a rag-tag group of US/Dutch and Brits......and even pirates. We're popular, what can I say.

If anyone wants lessons on how to win PBs the US is willing to lend out our services.

meanwhile in Philly...

my first thought while trying to read this comment was.......don't try to insult someone in a language you don't speak. Just some food for thought.

At least one month ago you decided to bring in English speaking players into the nation........ one month ago. A little late perhaps. "RIP baby English speakers" - and that is why your nation is currently in this predicament. You deserve every bit of it. It's astonishing how stupid some of you people really are.

All the Eastern Alliance players lining up to post in this thread

Preach it brotha!

I understand the issue, but you can't honestly say the US players should have zero content during the week. Especially with as little content this game offers. Concerning work flips two of the islamorada battles have been rag tag fleets of Brits US and Dutch. Not even full 25 people. Not all 4th rates. If you flip when we can't put together full fleets of US captains, I feel no remorse when we fight a rag tag fleet like the one at Peurto Plata. I assume Santa Domingo will be a similar affair. The issue is you don't see numerous posts from our guys complaining and trying to kick the swedes off this server. It's a game, who cares. I personally don't really care when you flip out ports. It's part of the game and all is fair in my opinion. It is curious though that you expect the US to limit flips to weekends but then flip Santa Domingo at 2pm on a Weds. The sooner everyone admits they flip ports when it's most advantageous to their fleets the sooner we can perhaps move on. we'll see if you guys defend cumana or not. I hope you do.

Pretty good timing huh? We are the masters of the night. Sweden work flips one of ours we prime time flip one of theirs. where will we go next? Basse Tere? Les Cayes? Ponce? Orinoco? Who knows.

Have had this happen more times than I can count It's a problem

Dear Hodo. your alternative facts are not welcome here and you will now be kicked out of the press room. Let freedom ring!

You amuse me. After watching how a few of those Castries battle's are handled, It's safe to say the French have very little room to talk. At least when we get our 19v25 battles up in Savannah ALL of the US players are in strong hull ships.... I make a funny joke, sorry. We always like seeing our EDR friends up late in Islamorada, you guys always sink first.

What.

Where should we put your mail?

This guy gets it

Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the game right now.

Nothing except their fleet is in retirement I hear. But if they want to go ahead and flip empty ports during the US mornings we're totally fine with that, just don't expect anyone to care about their whine when we flip them back at night.

Allied fleet backed off Ponce to show you the greatness of our generosity.

Best version of that song.

I'm ok with that.
