What is weird is that we all know this is an unforeseen mechanic. We all know Admin said this is currently a usable mechanic until it is patched out. You'd think people would stop using this mechanic and try to start playing the game as it was intended to test that. But nope. The history of Patch 31 Admin (via patch post): You can only take hostility for Regional Capitals within reach of Freeports or Regional Capitals; only then can you take the small ports. Server population doubles EA Play/Tester 1: Let's see if we can get around this with alts. EA Play/tester 2: So-and-so is cheating with an exploit and should return the port to us. EA Play/Tester 1: I'm just testing and no I won't return it. EA Play/tester 2: It's cheating and you should be banned. EA Play/tester 1: If it's in the game it's fine until Admin says otherwise. 3 day wait for admin response. Admin: It's not cheating. It is unintended legacy mechanic and will be patched out asap. EA Play/Tester 2 becomes Hyper-offended Player Hyper-offended player: So-and-so is cheating with an exploit and should return the port to us. EA Play/Tester 1 becomes Legacy Mechanic User Legacy Mechanic User: Admin said it's fine so I will keep using it and not return the ports. Hyper-offended player: But it's still not cool and will be removed. Legacy Mechanic User: It's just pixels and will be wiped anyway. Hyper-offended player: If it's just pixels, then why keep using the same "mechanic" to gain pixel ports? Legacy Mechanic User: Because it's fun to piss on the community. The rest of the server plays game as intended. Server population decreases 60% Legacy Mechanic User complains on social media that the game is dead and it's the dev's fault, while the rest of the players remember the real reason why. lul

Where did you guys find info on these 55 point ports? Is this how the Russians/Prussians knew so fast which ones to take?

Like I said, some will call it a skill. Anything ridiculously easy to do obviously requires no skill. The real skill is, as I said, being in a fat slow ship and getting tagged by someone sailing circles around you. lul The 20 instances that I make mention of were not tags on me, nor ones, I've made. They were just random battles I came across.

Instead of keeping things easy for ganker squads, please make both join circles very close to the battle swords, very close to each other. Sure, ppl might call it skill to land a tag where the enemy join circle is on land, but this is way too easy just sitting at someones port and way too easy to do against slower ships, thus negating it being any skill at all. This is like the 20th time in 2 weeks that I've seen join circles on land. Either get rid of 2 circles and have just one like PvP Zones, or Make the join circles touching each other and the battle swords. F11 made. heh

Hahah ya we always screwed around in empties. But facing Russians now, they always join as late as possible just like the Brit and rat alliance in the PvP Zones. 😕

IMO, defenders should be able to join for as long as the battle is open. Consider this as time for all sailors to get up and out of the pubs and cutter rides out to the ships...prep time.

Thank you for all this work! Doing great!

TY. I just find it sad to see so many Surprises that I thought were "rare" yet no beautiful Renommees. Great questions.

Where have all the La Renommée disappeared to? I never see them in NPC fleets any more and I'm just sitting on a mission so close to completion that I don't want to delete it...just in case.

What game is this? Looks sweet if it's really a fpv like it looks.

When this happens, usually if you just click back (do not refresh), then click in the comment box, your message will be there again. Just remove the @ name and you should be fine.

I've had this error every time I've tried to use @ someone for the last 2 weeks. If I remove the @ someone it works every time.

I liked the delivery system. Just wished it actually put an AI fleet in the OW so we can disrupt trade. It should give us a time of departure and arrival so we can decide to escort it from and to ports, but not the entire way if we didn't want to. Heck, I'd like a trainable officer we could appoint to our Trader AI we set to deliver goods.

Every since the introduction of other currencies, I have wondered why Reals is the only one we can purchase player made items with. Take this poll if you think we should be able to set what currency we wish buyers to pay for our items with. For instance, I'd like the option to sell ships for Reals, Doubloons, Victory Marks, maybe even a specific ship build, or any combination of these, rather than Reals only and having to convert these myself. Just give me the option to choose how I want paid, plz and ty. What do you think? Discuss...

the luls.the truth will never be known...by anyone other than themselves. hehe

They'd never admit the truth to the numbers. Instead they will always say skill is the only thing that matters. They always say the ship means nothing, yet they always have the best woods, best upgrades, and now best port bonuses. lul

Nava imo is not needed because La Tortue is close enough. St. Mary's should never have been removed.

No one is denied anything. Freeports are open to everyone and all of them even have PvP Zones right next to them. Plus, these FPs are spread out everywhere...except we lost Coqui and La Orchilla. One of these should come back.

Thank you for this clarification. May I please suggest you check out this poll and use it in considerations for the patch. Of course, it needs more votes, but I think we can get the gist on some of it. I think a nation should be able to work on Hostility Missions together. I currently like how the clan with the most damage points in HM is awarded the port, but do not like that other nations can get HM points to get the port from using our HM. I liked the idea of other nations only being able to counter the aggression. Not steal the port out from under our noses. This is the only flaw, imo.

Ya, this indeed. I thought Frontlines was to make front lines where nations are touching each other and have to battle it out to move forward to push back the enemy. If we are simply able to jump around them by using another nation, or heck even the enemy nation alt/rogue member, then Frontlines is useless. Just delete it and let us attack anywhere from anywhere, because basically that is what is possible with alt/friend hostilities.

take the poll bump

Eh, I can vouch for how many you've been in. You should have received these on Monday after the wipe. 😕

Dafaqhuhyousay? rats are "allied" with Russia. If rats were really trying to "stop" russia then they would be attacking russian ports....all of them.
