i think the devs may need to revert back slightly and add some AI economy. what i mean by this is: currently port makes money based on player econ eg they buy/sell in a port percentage is taxed and added to the cwh of owning clan. clearly looking at the ports on the map this isnt enough. most players are usually operating around the safezones and this is the safest place to have shipyards (excluding the nations without a capital). in essence here the safezones are preventing port income across the map. so i can only see 2 quick solutions. 1) add some AI driven econ to add to port tax ai traders generate money in some ports (plenty of good trading ports on the map) 2)restrict safezones for a specific rank eg post captain or flag captain, any rank above this in safezone will be unable to call reinforceents and shipyards are limited to level 2 in capital or safezone area's. this does 2 things. 1, improves vulnerability to all players and promotes pvp and non safezone hiding, allows players to explore the map and get out more because it will be in their interest to do so. ports will then generate money from both player and AI this way ports will make money most of the time and will be worth fighting for. please let me know what you think of these suggestions and discuss. i hope something somewhere changes in the current RVR/port system around econ which will promote pvp and competition. thanks

that is an interesting point. the global mergers are majority non european, so rather then close global server why not use its hardware as with the eu server and create a virtual server situated somewhere like i dunno.. with a relative distance to eu players and american. therefore we all have a similar and fair ping. just an idea tho i am not sure on how realistic this suggestion is. but im thinking of you Mike

i think we will know when you refresh on the shard selection screen to find no global server hurry up devs we all cannot wait,

i like a lot of these idea's. tie them in with raids and then it provides purpose to counter-grind hostility, (though i would add a mechanic whereby if hostility isnt counter-grinded up to a certain point eg 25% then attackers can join pb on the inner circle as a penalty to defender, yes a clan needs 100% to generate the pb. but national hostility for defender can be used to mechanise access to inner circle) as well as screening. i like wyy's suggestion unlimited battle timer for pvp battles surrounding the constested port with 1 single join circle in the centre similar to outlaw battles of old. raids i think have been something everybody wants and yet to receive, clearly by the issues highlighted and the solutions suggested raids can be something implemented to plug the gap between uncontested hostility and purpose for defender to be protecting its port up until beginning of portbattle. penalties for defender when they dont show up as well as reward for aggressor by raiding/grinding for portbattle. money is no reward in these things, it must be pvp marks.

any outcome/solution to this? waiting patiently for your investigative conclusion.

good you post video;s of victories... tho you need to to argue vs your losses. your bad... it will take too many years for you to be good.

i think cabal will always move to a side they think has the upper hand. they claim to be amazing. yet all i see is cabal in the shadow of any dominating nation. believe what you want voice all the oppinions you think i care to hear. but it was cabal who ran from GB pvp fleets. it was cabal who sided with swedes over its own nation. and now it is cabal playing swede... whilst things are good. soon they likely will go pirate if situations change.. and longterm.. cabal clan will always be a mercenary to any nation of which they belong. nuff said!!!

hmm.... interesting statement from a clan who just moved to sweden.. wasn't dutch enough?

the swedes fought well at navasse, redii you are right, Navasse was not a focused effort by GB. but i fear you will meet the same today. infact it could be worse because of navasse more should of been present and wasnt so it may be less likely we risk ships now. i agree with you on the danes.. lots of talking to other nations when they want a "challenge". but as players of naval action aside from nations. we all play to have fun. so lets keep it fun. my only fear redii. is attacking GB will not be fun maybe the danes can provide you with a more interesting fight... at least for now.

dang my bad... guess its a bad idea to post on forum at 4am ^^. thanks for pointing this out. apologies.

Hi Support, I was in a hostility mission with teddy teach at cayo del anclote. we both were in L'oceans. we both accidentally clicked onto a hostility order "enter as group" simultaneously. and teddy teach was in 1 mission alone, my mission had teach inside but offline.. sails down for 3 mins then sails up and sailed away (behavour of offline player in battle instance). during the Battle teddy's ship escaped. upon escape Teddyteach escaped in his own battle as well simultaniously. my battle continued. at the end of my battle Teddy Teach had been transported into cayo del anclote with no ship and with battle reward. Teddy Teach has submitted a f11 report bug. here is a screenshot to prove escape rather than sink . please refund the L'ocean to Teddy Teach as this is clearly a bug. how is it possible for a player to be in two places at the same time? L'ocean was Live Oak / White Oak with cartegena caulking, french gunnery sergeant and Bow figure Rattlesnake.

where should this be posted?

yup im back ingame now too . strange little error there - i hope it doesnt come back

i have the same issue - was fine earlier.. (approx 4 hours ago).. but now even logging into PVP EU i have the steam:authentication server error, any ideas on a fix? current steps taken: re-logged steam several times. restarted computer, stopped and started explorer.ini in administrator mode. verified game files. Please can we get help on this topic. Thank you

How will players know when the issue is fully fixed? before or after they lose a ship in combat? this server has too many issues which apparently relate to the ISP. the downtime of this server is not good let alone ideal. is your ISP being transparent with you because it seems like they "fix it" for a day then its gone again i actually get worried and nervous to do a mission or even pvp theres always that possibility the server will crash and i will have to spam forums for another week to try and get my ship redeemed. please Ink... push them to fix it properly this time.

Hello, After following the instruction of sending a f11 report ingame (i sent 4 f11 reports as i wasnt getting a response). after this i began to check on the forums on ship replacements.. and i see people giving details of ships they have lost so i tried this too i have made 3 responses requesting my ship to be replaced and still no response. This is kind of my last attempt to try and get some attention so my ship can be replaced. Please replace my Live Oak / White Oak constitution crafted by Teddy Teach which i lost on the 2nd server crash last night in a Post captain mission vs an ingermanland the ship was fitted with a full compliment of long cannons. on each deck and had bow figure elephant, iron knees and another perm upgrade may have been british gunners or british rig refit. Please atleast respond to this topic so i know at least my outcry's are being heard. thank you, Raxius PVP EU

i am not sure where the correct place to post this is, so i figured ill post it here since its relative to the current server issues, Please can you replace my Live Oak / White Oak Constitution with its upgrades / cannons as it was lost during the 2nd server crash? i have also reported this on 2nd crash f11 ingame. this way i can continue to grind away happily. Raxius PVP EU

i too have lost a constitution which was expensive only mine was Live Oak /white oak. i have created a f11 report prior to the 3rd server crash. my ship was lost on the 2nd server crash. please please replace my ship as i cannot afford to replace it personally. Raxius PVP EU

this is the 3rd time the server has crashed. due to the server issues i have lost my Live Oak / White Oak Constitution which is not easily replaced. (this was lost on the 2nd server crash) i have already reported it in game. please can you replace my constitution with its upgrades and cannons? so i can continue grinding away happily. Raxius
