    Problem with Boarding is that currently it's a key part of the game which is Ping dependent. Unless you have a good advantage going into the boarding, if all other factors are roughly equal including captains relative skill level,  with a high ping you are at a significant disadvantage vs someone with a sub 100 ping since they have time to respond to any final second change made,  you don't have that advantage with a high ping as you have to commit to the turn about 2 or more seconds before the clock runs out.

     

    I normally have a ping sub 50 but changing boarding action in last second often dont work. i often think i changed in time but see then in the result of the Last round that my change only applied to next round ...

    Sry for Bad english. What i want to say: i have a low ping, but boarding feels like i have a ping of 350 ...

    Its not so much the loss of the ship as such but the fact of the enemy gaining hold of it and being able to use it in the future.

    Ships are like beloved women, better kill em than see them happy with an other man ... wait ...

    I can understand your Feelings, but no ...

    CABAL left for different reasons. Lack of leadership in nation, disinterest of original Dutch clans in RVR.

    MONX since Carta only ever furthered the interests of the US, they never really played for Dutch RVRwise.

    LIONS it's a bit more complicated. They constantly made of fuss of us having so many ports and created loads of drama about it, tried blackmailing us etc... We ended up giving them SD to appease them but they kept going afterwards. In the end they ended up selling the nation out and switching to Prussia and taking the ports with 'em.

    1. Bet CABAL got all the leadership they need, maybe even more 😆

    2. MONX left rvr it seems

    3. LIONS got assimilated by KRAKE ?

    By the way, there was a time in NA when the price adjusted dynamically. Back then, you couldn't sell everything at once. With each sale of a subset, the prices for the next quantity decreased. This mechanism also worked when shopping, only that the price increased due to the shortage of goods. Why the Devs removed this good mechanic from the game will probably remain a secret forever.

    Because devs wanted people to sail and not sitting in ports and waiting for port raising prices again?

    Every reducing drop-rate or consumption-rate is only buffing Hardcoreplayers (they have the Alts that will Always sit in harbour and wait for next drop/consumptio).

  5. The currency is not reals, its playtime. So there is no Inflation. I think the playtime you have to "work" to buy you a copper plating (f.e.) is almost the same. Beside this basic ressources got cheaper in relation to the playtime you need to afford them, and that helps new and poor Players.

    Dont Listen to this idiotic whiners that only see that the nominal real prices doubled!

    TRADE IS FINE 

    (But stick to your plans spicing up the trade with special deals that have to be found ... )

    And pls hurry with the implemention of small privateer fleets, so small groups and single players can Farm the seasoned woods too ...

    @admin please make it so Loki cant escape from battle. I will fight a skull fleet, loki jumps into the skull ship and escapes so I lose my loot. If they escape just let ai take the ship back over or just make it so they can only surrender. 

    Escaping is the little victory 😆

    Other proposal: make AI switch to chain and try to escape when AI-BR is less then 70 % of the attacker ... haha ... What a drama would that be ... 

  9. Because of some "dicks"on the own Side you want complete rework the RoE? I bet the complaining like "this 3rd nation guy fought with me an hour, let me do all the work and when i was boarding the enemy He betrayed me, graped me and boarded me himself ..." will be big!

    Be sure dicks will suck even more If they have more freedom to do it 😆

    Didn't exactly know where to put it so posting it here.

    Keep seeing lots of new players asking in help chat whether or not they could enter enemy ports (to deliver passengers / cargo). After telling them they need to be in a trader vessel to do so, they often complain and go "Oh my god, all the way from *KPR* to *Baracoa* for nothing.

    I do think this really discourages new players. And I keep seeing it happen in Help Chat. There should be some sort of a warning message when taking passenger / cargo missions. I bet there are a few captains which left the game straight after realizing they had sailed all the way for nothing (and perhaps left a negative review?)

    Imho a player who gives up playing because he sailed 30 min for nothing is not the kind of player NA needs 😁

    If he dont give up because of this little waste of time because you give him some big tutorial or warning message He will Just quit playing after first ship sink or first sank by loki or what ever ...

    Due to the latest tribunal can something be done to address a foreign nation from entering a battle between 2 other nations and causing problems? Lets say 3 Russian players attack a Prussian and a pirate joins in on the Russian side with the only intent on attacking the Prussian and stealing the ship. Based on the current rules the Russian players are prevented from taking any action to prevent this. Any attempts by a Russian player to prevent the pirate from boarding the prussian is a violation of the rules as currently set. There is only 2 ways I can see a solution to this issue. So long as a pirate can join either side they should be treated as hostile by both sides and can be engaged by either/both or simply prevent any nation from joining a battle on a side where their nation is not involved. So in the presented example, the only nations that can enter the battle are Russian and Prussian while all other nations (including pirate) must wait until the battle is concluded. So long as the 3rd party is protected by the Green on Green rules they are free to enter a battle and disrupt the engagement with no consequences.

    And what If the "dick" comes Out of your own Nation? Its quite common that the slow big ship attempt to board after the small ships chained and damaged the enemy enough. See it at least one times per week that the boarding ship just take the enemys ship and give a f**** to the ships that did 90% of the Work.

    But i dont know how to solve this ...

    There is another solution that has been proposed before.  That is that you must get permission from the battle participants to join a battle on their side. This would solve many problems with unwanted allies.

    This would cause more Problems than it would solve and would make the RoEs more un-intuitive and less logic than they are now

    Wenn Du mit Anfängern fahren willst....🤣

    Wenn Du nen Clanleader haben willst dessen Meinung stärker flattert als ein Wimpel am Großmast...🤣

     

    Als jemand der beides - PBs mit Schweden (vor Release) und PBs mit Lama - erlebt hat kann ich sagen: PBs mit Lama/Krake sind um Längen angenehmer ... 

    Die PBs mit den Schweden sind meine schlimmste Spielerfahrung in NA, da die Schweden das Spiel derart ernst nehmen und dementsprechend toxisch werden ... besonders Clan Cabal ist mir da sehr sehr negativ aufgefallen.

    Vielleicht hat sich das mittlerweile geändert, möglich aber unwahrscheinlich ... sind ja größtenteils noch/wieder die gleichen Leute ...

  13. 1. Rules are rules. If we tolerate green on green as some self-justice to unsportsman behavior we will get some mess ...

    2. I see no clear evidence for intentional green on green. Everyone knows how easy a salvo (especially shot out of a Turn) go (partially) wrong, this happens often to even the best. Enemy ship and Beekondas ship were close ...

    Think player who caused the friendly fire should receive only a small warning ...

  14. Havent read it myself yet, but on my list:

    Dudley Pope, Ramage series 

     

    Bolitho wasnt my thing ... cant really say why, made an Impression of shorted-text like some readers digest version ...

  15. 1. Dont think this "griefing" problem is as big as some people here think it is ...

    2. Wont Help, If the opponent has to put down Sails to 0% for 15 min a small ship Like a Prince can round him an place single shots in his stern ... If He try to avoid this He had to use His Sails ...

    OK it may Work when a Prince is Holding a herc in Battle (because herc can raise Sails and turn quick) but wont help a Santi hold in Battle by a Prince ...
