    [SNOW] - Make it snow! RvR/PvP Pirate Clan

    in Caribbean server guild recruitment

    Posted · Edited by Gregory Rainsborough

                      3Gu5ve6.png

        

                 [SNOW] is now recruiting.

     

    Applicants much use Discord, be over 18, and have passed the final exam in-game.

    Please PM a SNOW member for more information on our recruitment process.

    English speaking clan with a few peculiar foreign people such as Germans and Greeks.  

    PvP/RvR focus.

    Benefits of membership are to be accused of being a ganker solo in a snow and to make excellent puns such as, "you stand snow chance of escaping" or "it's snow problem sir!"

     

    This is the SNOW Discord link: https://discord.gg/9J8YHBt 

     

    SNOW is a democracy, upon full membership you get to vote, use clan warehouse and use our fun GoogleDocs spreadsheet.

     

    We pride ourselves on being a modern clan and have made an effort to boost diversity and be an inclusive clan.

    We have a token Pole, a woman and a stereotypical organised German!

     

    Believe it or not we know Dean Martin and he was kind enough to record our official theme tune which can be found below

     

     

    Bing Crosby not wanting to be outdone had a crack at is as well.

     

     

    You get the general gist.

    Be a special snowflake today!

    Okay, then I request that @admin setup a playoff to prove of disprove your point: A good player vs one of your bad players (not a player who has no PVP experience but as you said a bad player) in 4 matches:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         i) A good player in a tricked out ship vs a bad player of same build with basic or normal skills and mods.                                                                                                                                                     ii) Same ships but swap them around to the other player.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           iii) Same ships but neither with any skills or mods.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    iv) Same ships but both tricked out identically.

    Lets see what outcome is.

    You seem to forget that for instance, I, sail mainly in the snow (best ship ever) and therefore the odds are always against me. There's no need to bother admin, there are plenty of instances when I've been outgunned several times over and emerged victorious. Mods and upgrades be damned!

    because that's a game - so a way of having fun in spare time - and not politics or real life?

    PS: "everyone"? Geez ... the so called elite PVPer are much less than casuals and carebears (for now at least)

    I was using it as a comparison of attitudes. Shall we start placing in ironclads because, hell, it's just a bit of fun! This game cannot appeal to everyone and if it tries to it will appeal to no-one.

    Player A is 10 hours a day online and at the top of the leaderboard with lets say 8 kills (0,8 kills per hour)

    Player B is 1 hour a day online and nowhere to see at leaderboard with lets say 1 kill (1 kill per hour)

    Player A get rewards, Player B not. Player A is also in a clan spending him a lot of ships so he can sail the next battle after the previous one and Player B is a lone wolf need to spend time shipping materials and build new ships by himself. So .. Leaderboards rewards are for spending time in pvp. A Player who play this game mostly in the evening only, the leaderboard is something far away and unreachable. For this player such a leaderboard reward isn't an incentive to do more pvp and go out, since he can't do enough, whatever he do. Also I see nearly the same names at leaderboard most times, wich means rewards would go to a few people only.

    Leaderboard rewards fair or not? Decide by yourself.

    Who cares about whether or not it is fair? We should be incentivising those who do well. Each person is in the position they're in in this game because of choice.

    Then ask yourself this: how can we keep bad players in the game? An average player would loose every second battle. A below average will win maybe 1:3. Etc.

    The goal must be that each player is capable of loosing one-two fights every day and still be in the game. 

    This should enhance PvP. 

    That's what your statement reminded me of.

    Bad players will always leave the game so I don't see why everyone should be punished to keep them here.

    I really got bored of "I SAILED ..., I DID, I COMMANDED, I..,I...,I.............................."

    I really do not care about YOU, what you can do, how great you are (You here, refers to many players not only you)

    My question is. there are 2 skilled players, they are twins, they are same, they have 3000 hours in the game, 500 pvp victories,...

    So, 1 has all the epic stuff, skill books, gold ship, the other has 3/5 ship with some normal books and upgrades, who will win ? Everybody with more than 500 hours with some pvp experience nows the ANSWER, so please stop this I DID THIS so they can... ,

    I had a duel with a guy yesterday, similar hours, same build, same everything. He still lost. By your logic it should have been a draw.

    Now a completely serious suggestion!

    The PvP leaderboard grants nothing but bragging rights and even having those time and time again gets a bit tedious so why not provide an incentive for getting on there? Then it would be a genuine competition which would encourage people to go out and try and get as high up as possible.

    1st place - Epic Chest

    2nd and 3rd place - Gold Chest

    4th and below - Silver Chest

    Let's face it it's a lot harder getting up to the top of the leaderboard than the Epic Events, which 6 competent players can smash out in quick succession one after another. Incentivising OW PvP in an indirect way would I believe be a genuine method of encouraging people to go out and solo raid because lets face it, gank fleets have to share out their PvP marks.

    More people out solo raiding on their own = more "content"

    It would also give those people an opportunity who do not do epic events to gain some of their rewards. It would add a PvP equivalent to the Epic Event.

    Might it be an idea to try a ship that is completely different from all the others? One that would undoubtedly give everyone a good laugh (like the gunboat) but which could actually be used in a port battle. I propose that a Hellenistic-era warships be added or perhaps some galleys? To spice things up and what not.

    Agreed.. The game is getting more and more dull by the patch.. Hardly any solohunting, 1vs1 has to be arranged.. The game is in a slow decay and even tho I'd love to blame the servermerge, the fact is that the game doesn't fullfill the expectations of the players. The PvE'ers nor the PvP'ers.. SO unless a choice is made either way then the game will simply wither away and die..

    I don't know why everyone seems to find it difficult to solo hunt. I pretty much only solo hunt and I'm regularly quite far up on the leaderboard. I get plenty of action!
