I find it interesting how you read all that from my post. You are a realy talented person.

I find it interesting you think I even saw your name here at all 😂😂😂😂 literally wasn’t even talking about your post evena smidge. I was talking about the barrage of eu players that are about to cry it’s a bad idea because it’s unfair. 

Rediii, in short I literally couldn’t care less about you, I’m sorry.

^the racist euro players don’t want the global players to have the chance is the thing. I just love their society. Criticisms galore about America and it’s intolerant nature. Lmao. And yet this is how they treat others 😂 like God forbid they have to recruit US players to their nation to cover a time zone? And especially since we set our own PB timers? 

or its because they don’t want to try and are the real care bears. Take your pick.

I’m actually jealous. When I pick 1st rate missions to test my ships I get a lousy 2 3rd rates. 😒

I can tell you, just out of my head, one major historical example where colonies were given to a foreign power without a fight and during Napoleonic wars - dutch to GB so it didn't come under french control.

Given time I can find enough examples from 1670 to 1820  

What makes a historical situation like that so different from what we see in game ?

Yes. And no. That is a long history regarding family ties, 4 Wars, and a very questionable, “are you sure that’s what you meant.” 

But that aside. You are correct. 

The beauty of a player lead open world, role player game, is that the players themselves get the ability to shape the world completely as they would like without bounds or limits. (As much as balance can permit of course).

If you want total war go play total war.

[Pulled from a silly distance]

The pull speed should be an absolute value. I doubt the devs missed something as easy as that in any code language, so it’s safe to assume you can’t be pulled going -4 kts

Name and shame for everybody? Great way to get people to go out and PVP.

 

How many hoops are we gonna jump through to keep PVP marks in the game?

No. Only name WHEN it’s your own alt. 

Thats how it’s different and recognizable.

how can I spell that out in my main post so that’s more obvious, I clearly didn’t make it obvious that the only thing that would change would be when the developed system puts the name of the sunk player in chat ONLY if it is from the same address as the other captain. 

So you sink me. SlimJim sank Dutch player.

i sink my alt BadBenny. OneEyedSnake sank BadBenny

Then the alt is known and so is the main account. 

 

SHAME FOR THE ALT FARMERS

Much better solution:

Ban main accounts of alt farmers instead of demoting their low level alt account.

First offense 1 week ban.

Second offense 1 month ban.

Third offense perma ban.

This doesn’t address the issue of not being caught. The risk is still lower than the reward. The only idiots that are getting caught are doing it right outside of capital regions. Trust me, they only catch at most 5 percent of alt farmers. Our open ocean is way too large for our population, and surely not everyone is that stupid.

Suddenly almost noone will altfarm anymore.

I’m still trying to find where in the hello kitty I said show IP addresses there bud. Can you highlight that please. Because if I did, I didn’t mean to say that. Also I can easily already get your IP address Jon Snow. Off of this very site in fact 😂

[In Regards to the Recent Mass Scale Alt Farmings]

Let’s all be honest here. Alt farming is at an all time high. Let’s also be honest with the whole tribunal report cases not fixing this issue. Sure individuals get banned, warned, etc. but hey, new alt new day. The chances of getting caught in such a large world with such a small population are very small. Granted the combat news makes it slightly easier to spot them. But not always. As we have seen sometimes we have false positive results where the combat news report is genuinely someone just killing a bunch of people. 

Is this a problem? I’d like to say yes. I dislike how people with alts can farm them for massive pvp marks, mainly because I don’t have any alts. But then part of me wonders if that’s just a perk you get when you spend another 40 bucks on the game, or a bit less when it’s on sell. Obviously the devs have condoned it. But the enforcement and ability to actually spot them effectively is not there. Combined with constant reliance on being in a top nation with resources and a need for pvp marks. It’s the perfect storm, so to speak, for alt farming, and it almost seems to be brewed up perfectly by the development of the game. 

My Solution: I know for a fact that the steam site, and just basic computer IPs will 9/10 times show that two accounts are coming from the same household. Sure you can change stuff around to get around that, but most people don’t. And there are other ways regardless of that to know. With this in mind I don’t see why It can’t be developed to where when I, OneEyedSnake, buy an alt, Name it whatever I want, lets say BadBenny, and then go out and kill it. In the combat report it says “OneEyedSnake has sunk Russian BadBenny off the coast of x.” See the difference there is it actually says the name of the player sunk. Now every combat news whore and their multiple wives can see that I killed my own alt. At this point the chances of getting caught are 100%. And not only that, but gunuinley good players won’t have any more issues being reported. The devs will have an easier life in the future, we will as well, the game will be more balanced, and you alt farmers can die in your irrigation trenches along with all the other labor hours you left waste away. 

TLDR? Through use of legitimate IP screens combat news makes it obvious when you are farming an alt. Thus making the risk way too high for the rewards.

Accusing without a proof is banable.

Frustration with BS Mechanics that just weren’t understood is not. You can’t just ban your small playerbase when you have made poor life decisions.. So as Gordon Ramsey has famously said. hello kitty off. Get out of my kitchen. 

[BF Clan]

I have seen some interesting things from them myself. Mainly the Ocean that had no armor health and bounced my 24lbs literally at point blank and they came back to penetrate me. But really I do think it comes down to the Mechanics the devs have built into this game. The way they build their ships. I’m not large on the accusing of hacking because any good hacker knows how to cover his tracks easily, it’s a waste of time. And also I have been accused on several occasions, and of course I have never hacked/cheated in any multiplayer game in my life. Unless you count exploits in Nazi Zombies mode of CoD WaW. But otherwise it’s generally just a matter of them knowing the broken, very stupid game mechanics the game has developed into them, more than you do.

As a once famous Frenchman once said "Why use a white flag when you can waive around a forged paper?" 

[Today's port timers situation]

So I am the leader of VNM, a primarily US clan, of the Dutch Nation. We have more RVR players in our American time zone than in Dutch times. We set the PBs as a united Provinces to when we can best defend them against one Dane clan that has more members than our whole Dutch nation. So non issue. You clearly are not a clan leader/officer in your nation and do not know the inner politics between clans and nations.

This has never happened.

Several other people swear in their posts, even the admin has. When I do it against one of their decisions. Off to gulag with me. I was given a warning and told the consequences if I do it again. Because this is a “respectful mature community.” Is that not the biggest joke you have heard? Anyway. It’s the small things mate. Just because you are pocket buddies with the devs and don’t see over those britches, doesn’t mean the rest of us are in the same spot as you. I know several people that have quit because of the admin or the moderator team especially, on this forum berating them, threatening them hypocritically, as s/he did to me. I have thick skin and don’t care so much, but it is a massive problem when you have a small playerbase. So don’t deny it’s existence because you personally haven’t seen it. I think several Jews denied the Nazis were genociding them when the Holocaust first started. Sure didn’t make it any less real did it?

Sigh its Obvious that your one of the People which want NPC Fleet Ships to be Removed entirely.......

 

No Offense but this is Clearly not Perfect. To be more Precise its Incredible Bad and very Stupid.

Aside from you not getting any Rewards for your NPC Ships Combat Performance. So Farming with them being Impossible by now.

The Least they could do is Give a Warning Note "If you Leave Battle now your Fleet Ships X and Y will Surrender and be Lost"

 

The Way it is currently. Means that New Players will use a Ship for Fleet to have an NPC along. And will then Lose Valuable Ships to this Mechanic because they did simply not know about this.

I can tell from your Post already that you actually dont want this Feature to Work because you actually want to remove any Option to have NPC Ships Supporting a Player.

But Mate this Feature is Part of the Game. And making it useless or removing it, is not a very Good Choice for the Game.

I actually was pro NPC fleet in game, and still am? It is clear you just can’t see through your own Biasis. However it’s one thing to take the time to kill NPC ships yourself, and another to go in and have your NPCs kill the NPCs, get the reward, all while just going mission to mission doing that and doing nothing yourself. If you want a farm simulator go back to your Korean Grind games.

Stupid Mechanic. They should either make them Fight it out. Or just Prohibit Retreat.

Hell at the very very least they could at least give you a Warning that the NPC Ships will Surrender if you Leave now......

Too many people abused it to just go into battle and farm AI. It was stupid that way and they way it is now is perfect.

[Craft Mats for Combat Marks]

Id also like to add, if Slim's idea were to be implemented, and at such a high combat point "restriction" at that. More people would be grinding missions, and would thus be out in the waters for larger amounts of time as well. At the very least negating the players that wouldst be sailing as much collecting materials.

[Craft Mats for Combat Marks]

I like this idea, but i believe that the combat mark price should be no less than 200, even for a 6th rate. At 1st rate level it should be around 1000. That way the economy player still has a purpose. But if you are willing to grind a bit you can gain those combat marks. Perhaps even buy a smaller ships worth of materials as you might have some stored up by then as well.

@Christendom has a point, make nice with your neighbors. Open trade with them and work together to maintain a bolstered defense of your holdings.

There's a scientific term for this, it is named... symbiosis. (A relationship of mutual benefit or dependence.)

we dont need resources. we need the ability to partake in what this game is based around. RVR. unfortunately we just dont have the manpower to do it. we will just have to do other things. its fine. 

its  called Behavioral Adaptation. 

However this games ASM's (available seat miles), are minimal with this current structure, and its LF (load factor) is even smaller , but it has a good enough base to have a large ATM (available tonne mile). Currently the VSI reads negative and I am not sure what the pilots are doing seeing how the LF is large enough for this to not be the case. IFR seems to be working incorrectly, and it feels like we are going off of VFR in little to no visibility weather, which probably explains the negative VSI. 

Perhaps we should ablate certain parts of this game's development process because our accommodation coefficient seems to be 0. Games that require accustomization instead of adaptation do not do well, which is what seems to be the case with this game. 

People like you are what I would describe as an aeropause, and bad scintillation. 

Basically you missed the point completely and are a distraction.
