    meanwhile when we asked you why you weren't participating in your own multiflip you said you didn't feel like and instaed were ganking our guys with 20 ppl who could had gone flipping something

    I hate you for having me do this John but I went trough all discord msgs an I think I found what you are talking about: 

    Some great drama happened between those two but I am afraid it is too much for the forums to handle

     

     

     

    This is all the conversation on the discord about said multiflip. 

    Yes we said we could flip a port and we did not (shame on us). But by what Cid said it seemed like you guys would not flip anything either.

    So yes there was talk of a multiflip but it was not us who told you to flip ports, it was you saying you would flip ports and asked us to join. 

    After this everyone agreed we should properly work together and organize another flip.

     

    Who is right and who is wrong here si strongly debatable, but what did not happen is someone telling you to flip ports and then us not flipping ports ourselves.

    And that why I posted it in hear. You brought your time as a dane in to it. So try to put it in to perspective.But I put it in the Bocar thread, so it wasent oftopic. 

    You took a quote out of context into another thread... I just edited it as I just noticed we are on another thread here

    They where there for RvR, but as Havoc started not to take charge in RvR,  they stopped to

    could be wrong, but I can’t remember a Pb, where the danes didn’t have the players. Can you remember one.

    EDIT: I just noticed we are on a compleatly different topic here, how about you stop taking quotes out of context?

    I can't remember one either, but I remember begging on Nation chat/TS for people to come which is one of the least fun and most demotivating things. But yes we always filled our own pbs and had some screeners most of the time.

     

    Just for context of where this quote came from:

    We are talkign about the Danes screening for GB at ports like Salamanca, which most of the old clans or people playing less and not having all their crafting/ranking up done just didn't feel like participating in. I totaly understand that and I don't blame anyone playing the game his way.

    We are not talking about the very few danish Pbs that actually happened at that time

    BASTD sailing around attacking swedes? Wow, that sounds huge. BASTD attacked a swedish Lynx at Tumbado and couldn´t know it´s been you scouting. You felt offended by THAT?? Man, this is really embarassing! 😭

    If you were not too lazy to reead the entire convo, this was our scout outside to figure out a way to get into a PB. 

    Thanks for bringing it up becuase you made me look it up on the discord, following conversation is actually a great read!

  5. On a more serious note though: Yes you screened for us and no one ever tried denying that. Most of the RvR against Russia happened when we were still in Denmark, where we stuggeled motivating anyone outside our clan for any RvR which is the reason we left the nation. Yes we did not screen for you with 20 players like you did for us simply because there were not 20 players. We brought what we had to Salamanca as Danes and if I am not toaly mixing things up we were on TS with you for that one to try and organize. My point here is: Everyone seems to forget that we switched nation about 4 months ago, shortly after LAMA switched to GB.  In the months leading up to the Nation switch out clan was very very inactive, people had other things to do and were not playing the game.

    And nice you chose those screenshots on the 23rd when we had barely enough people to fill a PB because of the holidays

    So nice of you coosing a time where we had no people to come screening becuase they were not playing the game.

    then on the way back our screening fleet gets attacked by other "allies" .

    That must have happened more than 5 months ago now as I can not find any swede who rememebrs it, which suggests it was back when Denmark was involved. If it was later than that this complaint never reached any of us as no one knows of this happening. If it happened or not doesn't matter anyway so can we just cut it out of the conversation and focus on more recent events?

    A lot of Events you keep bringing up here John, happened many many months ago. The past few weeks before we flooded the discord with people and started argueing about what happenes at Santiago were some of the most productive weeks of cooperation. GB got the whole Port au Prince region and Les Cayes out of it. Sweden gained a foothold at Tumbado and Russia lost it's ports close to Aves. 

    You keep bringing up past events to justify your actions as a justification for what your actions. How about both sides just call it what it is: We have different views on how to play the game and neither side wanted a compromise.

    Yes that was bad and i wanted to do it the honourable way but i was not allowed by the rest of brits who wanted to surprise attack you , then give you some made up excuses lifted from your own excuse book .

    And exactly this is why we call it a backstab. You broke the only unwritten agreement that existed dodging our questions about your position for a few days.

    Imho british already failed in screening. Screening fleet was unorganized and small, then it seems they just went in battle with the swedish screeners. I saw no attempt to Tag the PB Fleet ...

    They have tagged us, but we just dispersed and sailing against the wind good luck catching a privateer with a square sailer

    Yes and after all of our Privateers got in they agreed on having some fun outside and fighting the swedish screeners. Afterall it is a game and meant to be fun.  Big shoutout to Rook for getting the GB screeners organized for that fight!

    Maybe not all player suggestions are actually well thought trough for the long term health of the game and community discovers this over time; sometimes you need to take a fresh view. Maybe RVR is the major source of grief and hate and should be removed like @z4ys suggested. 

    I totaly agree that many community suggestions are bad BUT there arte also good ones. Chaninging the frontline system and reducing BRs resulted in way more RvR. 

    That being said, I agree with what was said above, sometimes the community suggests things that are not good for the game and if those thingsget implemented in any way shape or form there is no shame in scrapping them again if they do not work out.

    This is a completely bullshit idea that should've been dispelled months ago. 

    1. If you want to do RvR in this game, you have to do it in a group.

    2. Any decently organised group in this game, leaving their big nation to escape NPC port raids would inevitably fail because withing 1-2 months in their new nation - if they were half decent, they would again be a top 3 nation and again face NPC port raids before they could even start on their war goals. 

    There is only a small handful of groups in this game that can afford the effort, organisation and immense cost that RvR entails, and these groups are doomed to always face NPC port raids if they want to take active part in RvR. 

    I think Sweden is a decent example here, we just about got the nation together and working towards common goals in RvR and we already have players loosing interest in RvR/the game becuase of the NPC raids.

    It happens all the time in RL
    Syria is now unusable by Nation X because of Nation Y proxy intervention. And vice versa Libya is not usable by Nation Y because of Nation X proxy (alt) intervention. the list of RL examples is endless from Latin america to Africa.

    Why our wargame should be different? Should it be?

    Yes, your wargame should be different, because games are played for fun and we already have a lot of freedom in the game which causes players to get upset becuase of gray areas in the rules/mechanics. 

    I am NOT saying there should be a strict ruleset, however I think there should be no way a clan can loose it's port to an opposing nations alt clan without that port being taken by another nation in a PB before.

    you did not notice yet BR not only have been raised, but in some cases lowered? Carriacou has now 5000 instead of 10000 BR, at least on our map...

    Community was asked for feedback on BRs. There was an extensive list of small to medium changes which people kind of agreed on to make RvR more fun. One of them was changing BR limits of Ports, but the bigger one was changing ship BRs as with the current combat model and BR everything but 1st rates is useless in RvR. 

    Lowering regional ports is nice but it doesn't change the fact that, besides Russia, GB and Sweden, everyone struggeles to get 25 or even 20 player to play Portbattles.

    we moved from pirates to dead Denmark. We moved from Denmark to dead Russia. And all these nations with our presence became pretty weighty nations on the political map.
    So there is no need to wait, we have repeatedly demonstrated this.
    And players like Redi and the Havok clan also demonstrated this more than once.
    Since we play for fun. And we get it.

    everything has its time.
    And if you look boldly and very arrogantly, everyone understands that with the desire of the BF, tomorrow only a couple of clans will remain in Russian Empire.

    And exactly that is why I probably enjoy fighting you guys by far the most on this server when it comes to great battles.

     

    Not saying I did not enjoy fighting most other nations/clans, but most fights turn into a snowball for or against you pretty quickly.

    I think it's a great idea with some fantastic suggestions.

    I'd like to add one to your point 1. That capturing smaller ports in a region cancels the ability to attack other regions from that region.. Which ofc would force the owner of the regional capital to attempt to clear out pesky invaders..

    I actually love this idea, would add another reason to try and control all ports belonging to one capital. Also makes offence a great way to defend, by taking one of the small ports in the Region your enemy gets the missions from.

    It is pretty funny it is called frontline system when from Aves you can hit almost all the capital ports of the Lower Antilles. Same thing with other free ports.

    I agree, that's what I try to say in 2.. At the moment there is no real frontline in most parts of the map.

  11. Since release not much actual RvR which wasn't against NPCs has happened but what I am noticing is many clans/people are afraid or incapable of doing any meaningfull RvR with the current frontline system, as they lack players to fill a 20-25k BR port and also have screening. 

    I agree the frontline system made RvR a lot better, but I think some teaks could be done to it. So here are a few points I think could be changed in the frontline system to make it more interesting (all below are my personal opinions):

    1. Make it so a Nation has to take 1/2 "small ports" before they can attack the Capital that belongs to them. 

    Advantages:

    • A nation can not loose it's crafting port in two days, loosing crafting ports will dirve players away from the game so some stability there would be very nice.
    • Smaller BR ports are easier for a smaller nation to fill and would probably lead to more RvR.
    • A Nation has more time and tries to defend their Important ports, and the closer a nation gets to the main port of another nation the mopre people will get involved
    • In my opinion taking ports should be hard. At the Moment I see many nation giving up entire regions when the Capital falls.
    • Nations don't have much reason to attack small ports, as there is no reason to take them to get to the Capital you want to get to.

    Disadvantages:

    • Very hard to hurt a nation, by taking the crafting port. 
    • Upgrading ports is a great money drain so the more upgrading happens the better for the games economy. 

    2. Decrease the range of how far away you can take missions for Ports .At the moment Denmark can attack Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata and Grand Turk from La Mona. I feel this is a bit too far.

    Advantages:

    • . The idea, at least for me, behind a frontline system is that Nation can not just appear half way across the map with 1 or 2 port battles. This again leads to less RvR as you can just "skip" regions you are not interested in.

    Disadvantages:

    • Some regions of the map will probably never/rarely see any RvR as they are too hard to get to (Mexican Gulf/Central America)

    3. Give some great rewards for taking ports to all people in the nation (or at least to the ones in clans on the friendslist of a defending/attacking clan). Yes Victory marks are great but probably gonna inflate soon when port upgrading is done. THis could lead to people being more interested in RvR. I am thinking of Admiral chests, maybe some ship Permits or the sort.

    Advantages:

    • Casual players have more reasons to participate in offensive RvR
    • People have a few more reasons to go and attack/defend small ports once the capital has fallen.

    Disadvantages:

    • Can't see any feel free to add them in the comments

     

    Hope we can start a discussion about RvR here and maybe find a common line most players would like to see in RvR
