To fix ROE, first you need to understand that it is broken.
Here is the solution. Easy.

Fair enough, but it would probably help his cause more without the passive aggressive snipes embedded in his posts.
Are you aware how many good people are diverted away from forums? This is not the tone I enjoy using. it is out of necessity since you got bombarded with toxic replies by certain minority who never get moderated, group lynching almost every unwelcome criticism or suggestion. You have to show some thorns to them.
İt's not good manner to discuss someone's personality and tone in the way you do in forums. Want more decency, sincerity and maturity? Consider starting from yourself. We all deserve better.
Need a proof? His insult stays up top, mine removed. Tell me how we can deal with this. İf you have better suggestion I will follow.

This should end well....
Truth hurts, especially when you find hard to oppose it and instead come with an insult. I do not care as long as they deal with both of us equally. But we know they won't for obvious reason.

No worries, game lab has a perfect solution for aggressive AI. Get "disguise DLC" to trick AI as an ally. PvP version coming soon. Btw, it's historically accurate.

Few unclear promises to divert discussions out DLC bonuses. Not single important fix planned.
Timing must be coincidence.
Don't bother yourself discussing "planned features". If they ever managed to publish them you can be sure it wont be in satisfying way.

So developers admit that the game is gear based instead of skill based now?
You can't sell skill, you can sell gear.
I bet the game will be free to play soon with p2w shop. Started to believe that they intentionally create imbalances to open gaps for current and possible DLC sales.
Soon we will understand what happened to Santa Cecilia and DianaAlmost everybody complain about ridiculous port bonuses and instead of fixing it, they break the game even more...

It is pointless to talk about pre-release. It has little to no effect on the current post-release politics. Much of the clans listed are gone. Time for new tales to be formed.
Ok.
It's great to have wise people like you guiding and telling us what to talk about. Cheers!

Liberalism, I am not counting very beginning of server or capability to master 7 fleets. During that time almost everyone remember it as their glorious times. Dutch tell legendary stories against French and sweden, France had their glories, Sweden was down in Pampatar conquering, defending land. Our battle commander (Sweden) was thinking that wind has no effect on battle since it blows to same direction for both sides; and it is impossible to win offensive battles. The times almost everyone were agreeing with him. Mythical times when most believed if SLRN start sailing sea level will increase and Gustavia will be under water.
I am not aware that SLRN defeated main Denmark fleet few times. I remember pirates beat GB quite hard and RUS fleet stop playing after introduction of 4th rate battles. SLRN was very short living big flame.
Tom Farseer, when I talk about leadership of course I over generilize. İt can be one big clan who blocks cooperation, it can be someone who forces his vision on others, it can be someone average with battle leading. Doesn't matter. At the end wolf stops following highly prized dog. Dog can't be challenged in big nations, cause he still have the power of the big pack behind him. İf it is working you have your leadership, if it is not working you don't have it.

British nation always defeats itself. Many clans leave GB nation because people in the nation hate each other, don't help each other etc. Also, it's a vast majority of new players, not experienced. Most veterans leave GB. GB was a powerhouse back in 2017/2018, but it's been dying for last 2 years every few months. It got a bit revived by HAVOC, but that only put them on their legs and HAVOC left/quit the game when there was nothing to do in GB.
On the other hand, Russia is full of RvR players, as it became RvR nation (RDNN/LEGO/REDS with RUS & PLANB started this). Then there was BF, VLTRA, NN, LG, 7UP, RUBLI, PODW, EVIL (👽) and many good RvR players left their nations to join Russia. Every RvR player wants to sail in full 25 RvR player fleet of good players. But if all RvR players leave their nations to join Russia, there is no one left to fight. RvR players left France, left Spain, left GB, left US, left Prussia. All left to converge into RvR nations: Russia, VP, Denmark-Norge, Pirates. So now we have only 4 RvR nations, but weaker nations get attacked and easily killed.
Very few players hate each other. The ones does, hate because of seeing others as threat to their status and goals.
Great Britain, Spain and France were never great RvR nations. They enjoyed RvR power from time to time though. They never managed to shake off statiquo. They had many great players, who had to leave tired to be managed by incompetent leadership.
Your PvP skill cannot be reflected directly as RvR skill. 90% of "PvP" players were dillusional about their RvR skills, naming themselves heroes by defeating a heard of sea sheeps.
There were only 3 RvR powerhouses in different times, pre release. Danish, Swedish and Pirates.
Russia served as an exile country for good PvP players who were lacking and wanting more prominent RvR success.
Pre release Russian success (Danes) were enjoyed by exactly the same reasons we have today. Game mechanics which favour numbers and hardcore game committment. That is their so called nostalgia.

People will attack, do whatever they want that fit themselves. This is a game. A game with poor RvR design, which creates all this drama about crafting ports. May be after 1 year all the ports will be fully upgraded with no effect on anything than adding same meta bonuses. It only serves as a gap opener at the start of the server.
RvR has never been that bad, thanks to some amazing suggestions and Devs amazed with those ideas. 👏
No one but a fool is always right. May be Developers should listen to the people with more experience of being wrong rather than forcing everybody to play like those fools.

What does modstacking issue have to do with eco alts contracts? I agree ir needs to be worked and discussed but in its own thread/topic?
It is directly related. Strategic resources, wood, upgrades are effecting pvp directly.
For example. You fix RvR by arranging different BR for different PB's. Great move and make sense. However, all ships BR's are messed up and you end up in mono, most BR efficient ship battles. Then you decide it is not working.
Block much needed resources by owner end you will end up with interesting snowballing effect.
Fix the root then blockade strategic resource which give you tiny advantage.
-
This still doesn't remove the root of the problem. OP mod stacking.
Some mods almost give you lvl 3 port bonus. Needing those pieces for competitive sailing is more flawed than alt buying.
..and please don't jump here saying you don't need the best upgrades to be competitive by trying to block it for yourselves.
-
I agree, let biggest clans & nations dominate everything.
Can you suggest any other game for others? 😛

DLC ships are like opium. Use them to stimulate few things. Overdose and it will kill you. Even used consciously it will slowly ruin you.

Can somebody help me understand the benefits of port bonuses and 20k BR port battles?
Thanks to port bonuses:
*You can eliminate a nation from RvR by capturing their main port. Before it was not possible.
*You are stuck to use one or two ports for crafting. You have to be in friend list of port owner. Before you have the freedom to craft as you wish.
*If you are a small clan you are tied to use port bonuses others choose, only if port owner is good to let you do. Before you you had freedom to organise yourself as you wish.
*If you want good ships and decent chance to enjoy winning you have to join the zerg.
Can anybody name something good coming from this rather then forcing people to submit themselves to the strongest party in the nation?
I bet you remember why 4th rate port battles was introduced ones and actually they were quite popular. Do 20k PBs increased the amount or quality of content????
Why are we boosting zerging relentlessly?
Killing diversity is poor decision, even you are sure that your way is the best way...

it's fun to see how Britain turns to a worthy opponent after loosing many of its PvP players, clans.
I won't be surprised if KPR announced as most dangerous place on the map soon, because of bloody British captains 😂😂😂
I understand how desperate some clans are for heroic stories, but glory belongs to people who stands against odds, not to people who carefully choosing weaker pray.
Salute to Danish captains who showed up for "fight."

Your problem as well as the problem of most of others is to think that you need the best of the best ships and upgrades to be competitive.
Watch our for the oak oak no perm trincs ...
It is your problem that you assume understand everything.
I have history fighting against odds with whatever I had. Never seeking best ships or upgrades. Rarely sailed ship with port bonuses after they were introduced for sake of challenging myself and test the difference.
After release, slowly building as much as my time allows.
Stupid is stupid, even it is your own recommendation to developers.

Port bonuses and huge resource investment was interesting idea I never understand.
We had DLC ships for sake of fast access to PvP. Many changes happened to make PvP easily reachable
...and what we did with RvR? Designed it in completely opposite way.
To able RvR:
You need to upgrade your port fully, before attempting to fight a nation with full build.
If you loose your port, buy dlc to change to winning nation.
Fill out port with 25 first rates.
Let me "lol" please.

Forum drama and PvP is priceless.
However, it should not prevent us from seeing the real problem: Bad RvR design.
Reduction to one port was not that big issue till introduction of port bonuses.

NA Legends has no chance of success. The mechanics are not suitable for MOBA. Wind is the biggest problem. Second, ships can not have too much diversity and balance at the same time.
Imagine yourself fighting same battle again and again approaching the enemy from beam. How many matches you can bare to do? It is boring and repetitive.
NA magic lies in random encounters.

Game should just have Historically accurate nations
in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
Posted · Edited by Barbarosa
You should learn to keep on first come - simple ideas. It would be great to have 3 nations only, like Dark Age of Camelot and some other well made RvR games. Once you start overthinking about something, almost always you turn it to a mess.
