  1. I was one of those dudes if it was Santo Domingo (second try), it was my first battle in MB - I missed the first few shots but saw that the aim circle had to go 'underneath' the fort to hit on top. Had at least 40 hits directly on the fort walls or center and I saw Njord hit it every time. 0 dmg was made. Seems broken ^^
  2. Maybe we are both sort of subjective in the matter I just think the "healing" is too great, while it works great for you. What if a fleet don't have the wind to play passive/aggressive, but defensive/aggressive(to the death) due to casualties? The winning fleet can just rep and send in freshly repped guys. The 1 guy who made 1000 hull might die in vain. I think of hugging to be a bigger problem if players can break off and rep, no reason not to hug and do close dmg, when the damage you absorb can be repaired?? More dangerous it will be, if you only have 1 or 2 rep, then you would not wish to hug anyone instantly and battles would prolong naturally, not with ultra many reps ^^ Maybe if repairs had lower % every time its used in the same fight, it would be more fair for both parties. Lets take @Croat in last nights battle for instance. You are the perfect example, and well played yesterday btw. After 21 minutes he had this in HP: AND in the end of the same battle he got full HP again. With the current system of multi rep, in combination with the use of dark magic, resurrecting the dead and it took most fun out of battles and made hugging so much more of a problem. As of now, you have to focus and isolate players to get him done with, it require team effort yes. The swedes are capable of this, better than most and its so annoying to see the dmg one did, getting repaired along the fight. Your impact on the fight is 0, cause if 1 fleet has the upper hand, they can repair multiple times in safety and the other fleet will have so much more difficulty changing course of battle. Remove the multi repairs.. And change the resurrection of crew. Maybe lost crew should be divided into two groups; "Dead" and "Wounded" whereas wounded can be healed by the ship magician , so they once more can man the cannons.
  3. Yes, arguably skills are needed to maintain the upper hand with current system. In a 25v25 fleet I could see someone with 50% on each side - and 24 minutes later he would have fully repaired his ship. Endless reparing in battles just destroy fleet engagements, the fleet with more % on carpenter reps will win as of current imo(if shielded by mates, while reparing) =) Reps was once used to extend your survive-ability when in urgent need, rum was non existent. I liked the old battles better when opponents only had 1 rep and no rum injected crew boost
  4. 1 of each rep! Makes battles soo much better! You can focus on the battle and not try to figure how long till your opponent can repair again. Also tagging system, I know its another matter.. No stern cannons vs fast opponent and multiple reps means you cannot do anything... They can just kite forever and rep forever, keep you in battle for as long as they wish. Its sad. No skill! In the middle of a battle, a captain should not be concerned if one enemy is not tagged and magically leaves the battle 100 meters away. It SUCKS and always have. Control perk for everyone! =)
  5. Hell no, it should be common content in a game where all ships are generic in looks and players are many.. Its not too much to ask for, even for new players. EDIT: Should be given in PvP also though. But paints should not exceed the value of a given ship.
  6. Apparently this customization of ships has been taken from our hands. Designs are there, paints are there, but we are not entrusted with them. Too dangerous to allow pink fleets back in the game? I really don't know why devs wont let players use tools already created, e.g. paints for ships.. It should not take too long to implement a paint tab in admiralty store. 100k or 20 combat marks for a paint would be fair.
  7. I had ownership of around fifty 1st rates, but only 1 Santa Cecilia. Best ship I ever had. Its too bad, I didnt know. The Surprise is also kinda broken now
  8. Dude, I was also online at the moment. Santa Cecilia is uncraftable the most precious ship to those who loves surprises, since it has pretty much the same sailing profile and 12 pdr.. Its worth 10 1st rates in my eyes. Come back when you loose one of those. The revenge gank mech was a pain, many players got bitten by that mechanic. BTW the swedes SANK it. It was a terrible day for everyone Stop trolling around. Back to topic.. If the BR limit is present, 1 nation or clan with 10 players have possibility to def a port with BR limit of 6k (example). They can bring 10 1st rates. The others can be 25, but must not exceed 6000 br. Epic fights will be fought! I will definitely love to get this gets tested. It will engage more players to do RvR when you dont need a specific ship build of a specific wood type. The little guys can defend themselves in some ports and regional capitals will be major battles of mixed 4th-1st rates 25v25 I imagine. So regional ports will belong to stronger clans and little clans still have opportunity to cap ports with lower BR limit.
  9. 2700 Hours later - I uninstalled game just now They broke it completely. Either you gank or you shoot masts. Surprise is not doable anymore, any hello kittying idiot can demast with higher caliber. No skill in game anymore.
  10. Any vid of the battle? =) EDIT: Nvm, I found Babay's stream =)
  11. PSST we bring surprise to kill mortar brig. WHY AM I NOT HOME TO PARTICIPATE! Kidding, have fun guys I really envy you. No matter which side wins, this is the naval action its all about - but please, for the love of god, save some fights till I get home =)
  12. Its unfortunate, but I think its inevitable with some of the characters involved on global.. Join EU ^^ We have soo much more fun, Sweden is the biggest nation and can muster 2 full PB fleets. EU server is booming atm Lemme get this straight. You and the rest of your fellas from US jump to GB cause your US mates "made you loose" a few PB's due to inexperience according to you. Maybe it was only one? Anyways you choosed to jump ship and join your enemies.. That was your reason to change nation. Afterwards you declare total war on US only to farm conquest marks from the people you just abandoned, with a nation that already had enough players. Now you get beaten by pirates!! BLACK even declare total victory and proclaim conditions.. You know who this reminds me of? Now you complain about PB timers, even though you were soo busy defending these "free for all timers" when US nation night-flipped EU nations on former EU server and almost killed the server... Now the PB times on global does not suit you? and you lost as GB, trying to go ez mode as you like it. Karma is a bitch huh? ^^ The restrictions on global sucks for some yea, hope they will change it for the better. EU server is going swell. We lost some battles against the swedes, but we have real fun.
  13. Swarker and 1 fireship was they key to victory. The Swedes win first round ^^ Im impressed sweden can muster 2 PB fleets and win both PB's. Congratz!! You deserve 1 week win =) Next week though.. I think you made yourselves very unpopular among the nations, many things ended in your favor(undefeated in PB this week), but in the long run this week has diminished your possibilities for any allies. Unless you buy friendships, I don't think any bridges are un-burnt by now. Anyways it does not seem like you need em with your current numbers. This will be interesting! I will follow the progress closely. Almost only 1 week until I can participate in all the fun. GJ to both sides, great organization and human resources made this possible. Yesterday was a great day in NA. This has been an interesting week. I salute leaders from both nations for their work and contribution to organize these battles AND every captain involved o7
  14. So, first battle was yours. Im so sad I was not home to participate. Im sure it was fun and im looking forward to fight you guys, in victory and defeat. I think its for the better of the server that we go to war. Did devs change something about the victory marks? Im not sure.. Anyways, who is PFK? I see 7UP also joined,you, did you hired Pellasgos, the almighty? GJ on the battle, many more to come =) EPIC! I work a 12 hour shift from 1900 - 0700 at sea, woke up the entire section who just went to bed. Will be back on land with the rest of you landlubbers in 11 days, I'm looking forward to fight you guys =) Cya around o7
  15. U mad? With you gone from EU server, we have no empty PB's anymore. We dont have to worry about being flipped 3 hours before we are supposed to go to work.. Its great, NA is playable, RvR is alive and PB's are actually battles. Not just proclaimed victories, which you suffer from claiming. So, the 2 largest nations are not a good match, but the 2 nations with players online after 23:00 was? US and GB on old EU server was allied, you did nothing but flip empty ports.... I don't get your logic. Do you even have any? Sure, you say for the health of the server. GB was largest nation, I think it was more healthy for you to take the easy pick. As usual, like the night-flips, you just want it ez.
  16. How does this makes any sense to you? Night-flips was without any content, now we have battles. So yes, we are having fun compared to you guys, who just join whoever is strongest, since now you actually have to fight your battles. Quite amusing.
  17. On old EU server, US and GB was allied = only two nations with players online after 23:00 servertime in workdays. What did you do? You attacked only ports in workdays after 23 servertime ONLY on workdays. Only won empty PB's. Your statements are hilarious.. It's complete opposite of what you claim. Now you joined your enemy because you lost, only to beat your own nation.. It's just weak.. Try to organize instead, you proclaimed you did that on old EU server.. But really you just nightflipped empty ports You contradict yourself here. You say we are both salty about nightflips(empty flips) and yet you say we created a empty PB server??? Yes, I have not forgotten how you want to play this game. You want to win ports but don't want action nor equal fights, the game is not meant to be hard in your opinion... Ok fair enough. Join your enemies, turncoat and go nuts taking ez ports from US on global. I don't care We managed to get a server, where night flips are history - what a great feeling and the battles here are glorious. Cya poor fella
  18. Christendom, you are a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect, set yourself straight. I hope you are a really good troll, else I feel sorry for you. The statements you make reflects your gigantic ego. You say the community is not there to help newbs, really.... Nobody ever helped you? Everyone on EU is "bad hombres" and we bully everyone out? Really? US forced the server split, mainly your clan, US bullied every EU RvR clan out of the EU server, doing nightflips, making the game unplayable. Uniting with the british, your only opponent if truth be told, due to your play time. The community is as important as the game. The little secrets are in all games, WoW, EVE Online, Travian - every game has aspects which needs to be learned from other players. Some of my friends bought the game cause they thought it looked cool. I tutored them in the beginning, gave them ships and helped them understand the different aspects of the game. It is not hard to fire cannons at ships. Its hard to aim-mast and win the wind, confuse and outplay your opponents. When you expect everyone to understand and being able to comprehend what you have learned through many many hours of game time, then you are well.. Arrogant and ignorant. I know for a fact, that you and the rest of TF and VCO changed nation to GB on global server - mainly because you lost a few port battles, saying everyone in US nation were noobs. Now you declared war against your former nation in another thread.. Ppl should read this: I have a suggestion: Make a server dedicated for you Christendom, let these hello kittyed up shenanigans end here.. I feel sorry for you.. I really do.
  19. EDIT: I was there, part of the PB fleet. We had more screeners, but what can one do when the pirates filled tagging alts in our ranks. Its very cute indeed, that you try so hard and break the rules AND the game. All these lengths, just to avoid combat. Its really fun you are like this. Edited out unnecessary parts in your post, please stick to the tribunal rules. - Moderator Team
  20. Ohøj Captains Well, I had some difficulty picking from about 1k screenshots taken since I began playing November 2015, have 2500 hours. Ended up with 50 pics. I tried to narrow it down further and will only show a few of them! Random magical stuff: - The feeling, when you hit land on the exact position you wanted, or even getting lost, learning to apprehend (before GPS) - Exploration in general - The first many PvP encounters - Sneaking into enemy territory, hiding behind isles near ports, waiting for lonely prey or a juicy trader. - The beauty of cannon fire in the night - Aiding comrades in homewaters, by fending off foes - Both being the hunter and being the hunted - Crafting my first frigate class ship __________________________________________________________________ 1. Scenario; Fighting off 4 pirates, me in my surprise and 2 AI fleet. I ended up capturing 2 of their ships. 2. Scenario; Aiding Spanish fleet, intercepting VP fleet going for Spanish port. Scenario 3; A long time ago, a handful of us got lost on our way to Pedro Cay, shallow PB. In the middle of nowhere (we didn't know where) we stumbled upon a large beauty, which we decided could aid well in the Kings service. The Captain of the Bellona fought fiercely, but in the end the ship ended in the hands of the Danes. . Scenario 4; Black Friday - The Swedish and French had changed loyalty ATM. Sweden was given back ports shortly after. Scenario 5; Aiding Spanish in Islamorada. Lines were held on both sides, pretty much through the entire fight, but in the end the US had to withdraw due to casualties. Scenario 6; Battle of Aves. The SLRN fleet had reputation, experience and morale due to being undefeated. The RUS/RDNN fleet had a good reputation and this battle determined the Danes brawling tactic as fit to break the British lines.. When we got closer to the enemy, they divided into two groups, which was a really bad idea. I miss these days. I love this game, but (almost) haven't played since December/January, because of the night-flipping, endless conversations trying to justify these, ending in spewing salt, somehow it just ruined the fun.. player base got so low, the game just turned to night-flipping, cause only US had anything online 2 AM.. Considering the fact of only 2 Realms, and 1 of them can do this, well it just destroyed the fun. I'm happy they make dedicated servers. Progress is everything, wasting time ain't fun, sleep is needed. Looking forward to WIPE and patch and for the game to come ALIVE once more
