[Ship teleported in battle?]

Was having a duel, ship was on my stern - got ready to shoot my stern chasers, and then - poof, it teleported about 200 ish metres to my starboard side

I've had giant lagspikes before which - on my screen only - forced all ships together into a blob. but that was only temporary and the reason was due to my high ping. But a teleport, a *legit* teleport, I've never experienced before.

OBS was not running during the battle, thus did not record.

Sent an F11 bug report.

Serverside issue or what was the cause?

It was only one time and nobody joined the fight in this moment.

I feel like I have to post after last nights GB vs Spain battle outside of KPR.

Myself and 2 friends were sailing out for some PVP and a laugh, and noticed a large battle had developed outside of KPR.

We joined and were on the TS channel. What ensued was depressing in so many ways, I hope this post can possibly give some people a chance to re-think how they do things (probably not much chance but you have to try!)

I can't speak for the Spanish but regarding the Brits:

1. As soon as we jumped on the TS channel it was confusion, with no clear commander designated, and multiple people speaking. People were complaining that:

A: Not everyone was on TS

B: Get out of my way

😄 People aren't obeying instructions.

 

2. The Brits were also acting as though only the core unit of Brits in the fleet were "worthy" and allowed to play; with people saying if you dont have TS don't join battles. 

3. Players were also acting as though losing their ships was not an acceptable outcome.

 

To respond to the above, I wa very disappointed to see these attitudes.

TEAM SPEAK: As I say We were on TS, but 2 out of the 3 of us were NOT native English speakers, as many people aren't. Also some people dont have the tech. FINALLY it's not a TS based game, it has chat. IF you are trying to run a fleet and know the commander HELP the commander by relaying his instructions CLEARLY into Battle Chat. Its not a twitch game and clear instructions can easily be laid out. Commands should be repeated and updated regularly as people join often and aso need reminding of what to do.

As far as I was aware I had NO idea who was in charge of the fleet when we joined. No one said who was in charge and no one updated order s (and I WAS on TS!) so just blaming TS was not in any way accurate. Communications is important, not TS. TS is just a tool that can help (but can also separate and confuse, as happened yesterday)

TEAMWORK: People were threatening to Ram people out of the way, and moaning about what others were doing, but again there was no clear commands being given on TS or battle chat. How are people meant to know by magic what to do? TS should be silent in battle aside from Command orders and important time critical maneuver instructions. All the people complaining as if they were the experts would have been better off trying to coordinate the fleet in chat, or issuing clear instructions in TS. Just because you feel you are important (or in fact might be important) doesn't mean anyone else knows who you are. Try using peoples names, not "Me" "I" or "You" or "that ship over there".

PVP: If you aren't prepared to lose it, dont PVP in it. The majority of the British fleet decided to leave "Because I am not willing to lose my ship because of these noobs etc". If you feel like that, bring a lesser ship to fights like this, and save your cool ships for well organised raids / PBs, clan outings etc. By doing this about face they left the rest of the fleet (who are playing a GAME and wanted a fight) to their deaths. No biggy, but it doesn't exactly encourage the new players to PVP when the big guns just bail out.

 

 

We still had fun fighting a coni, but once the main SOL fleet had left it was only a matter of time before a bunch of SOLS decided to intervene in our little fight, and we got vapourised, haha

 

Basically try and remember its a game, and played for fun, and to help your nation. Don't act as if you are the most important, just because you are an ace with a big ship. IF You Are important and an ACE with a big ship it's your job to help lead and guide your fleet, not bitch about everyone else who isn't one of your "ace squadron". Everyone bought the game and wants to have fun playing it.

Also remember a commander might issue the ultimate commands, but they need help. If you are senior player, help your commander. Explain orders, relay commands, inform new arrivals, repeat commands, address the fleet as a whole (i.e dont think only of your own ship) and generally try to be a positive influence.

 

Let's hope the next one goes better!  😎

 

when it becomes a clamour and people are just shouting out random instructions I'm lost.

TS/Discord must be a supplement to typed instructions in a battle to be fair to all. Raxius used to type headings for me and others in PB's.
