Earl of Grey

We have a very good system atm, dont change it. Every "long time ranking" will only lead to "optimize my Ranking" playstyle ... Current system ist almost perfect, you can made you a name and almost eveyona can conquer a place in the list, next day everything is forgotten and you have a fresh start ...

Think Sweden took terre de bas Just because of the Tools. Maybe swedes build their sheds there now ... US attacked Cano Macareo. Dutch asked polish to Set Timer on the remaining port, polish refuses or no officer of the Port owner Clan was online for days ... so dutch took the Port, but offered to give it Back If polish set a Timer on it ...

Is this clear? Whats about Screening? Whats about waiting for reinforcement? Whats about Holding in Battle until retag-fleet outside is ready? From time to time i meet players they complaining that they already have 50/100/200 masthits and my mast didnt break... they just dont know that a counted hit means nothing If He dont pen ...

1. Not sure If we have abusive behavior here. The grey zone is huge ... and all is depending in their subjektive motive ... maybe they reallly thought your mast will break soon or sth. 2. Reporting clear violations of rules is useless here, so why reporting things that are almost Impossible to prove ...? 3. If you report and nothing happens (best you can Hope is a warning) didnt you make it worse?

But it should be ... I See you often reporting in tribunal .... seems there is something what makes you a prefered victim ... think about it 🤔

One for sure: IF it was griefing you give em exactly what they want when you report em in tribunal ... I strongly recommend not to show your anger ... If you shout and maybe even insult you just increase fun of them...

Seriously? You want me to view a Video of a Battle you reported for griefing by boredom? Try this again and i will report you for griefing 🤣🤣🤣

Tja und zum (vorläufigen?) Schluss noch ein Tipp nachdem du gar nicht gefragt hast: Überleg dir das mit dem "erstmal" PVE Server spielen. Wenn du den PvP-Server als Ziel hast, würde ich gleich dort anfangen, denn du kannst nichts vom PvE- auf den PvP-Server mitnehmen. Also der ganze Grind nocheinmal ... Apropos: kann man eig. Das final Exam auf dem PvE und dann auch noch auf dem PvP Server machen? Oder nur einmal?

Alma Negra clan Monx fired on me green on green. He was angry because i dont let him loot (he joined my battle Hermione vs Leopard with a Santi and of course got the kill). I would provide screenshots but can only upload 0,14 MB files ??? Battle was at 06.12.2019 around 14:20 server time

So are there some Players that already can build the seasoned Wood shed thingy?

Common Jonny, always the Same. Noone needs to trade If He dont want. Myself i didnt a single trade mission since the first 2 weeks after release ... nor do i hauling trade goods. I live very good from PvP and PVE income.

And Books! Let us Check the used Books in ships. I turned many Times Back to port to be Sure i didnt forget the books ...

I start to think that we have a perfect balance atm. Few weeks ago some clanleaders organized a multiflip against russia. Russia lost 3 or 4 ports this evenings and showed clearly they cant defend against all Others. So why there were No other multiflips since then? Because the other nations dont want to have total war. Lets be honest: we have now what the majority of players want: relative safetyness for crafting Ports and the opportunity to do a portbattle whenever you want ... Russia know also that they cant win against all Others nations, so they choose their rvr goals carefully to not force the others in an ally ... So everything is fine atm ...

No way mate. While i agree that Not everything is perfect you Just cant deny the improvements. You Not even mentioned UI, Patrol Zone, weekly and Personal missions, Tutorial, localisation ...

Think reward should be a Lot more when raid is done in Timer-Window of the Port ...

Thats simply Not true. In my opinion NA greatly improved since 2017 and i think No Person with open mind can deny this.

I dont understand why all ships have to be completely balanced. No one is forced to sail a "bad" ship ... Sure some diversity is nice ... but all the effort only for deversity? In my opinion this all the time demand of balancing is wasting devs time, If you thinky Endy is OP, just sail an Endy! Imagine we have 10 more ships in the Game: the balancing effort would rise and rise and rise ... Btw: dont forget the balancing by price that the Players do themselve (think thats the reason behind the permits). Endy is at least 5 times more expensive than a trinco ...

DD is needed to counter the also unrealistic effects of boarding (dropping Sails). Since i lost my aga to 3 Princes that were Chainboarding and raking me i never sail without DD ...

Would Like it too, but lets be realistic: can we please give names to our ships? And maybe a (Hidden) ID-Number so a smart Community member can provide a website where everyone who wants can write his ship-logbook and everyone who has the ID can see it ...

This would only affect some Traders, think 95% ships in Battle carry only Reps and Rum so No need for special cargo effects ...

Raids are Just night pve Content ... How often Towns get raided in the time the timers are Set? 5%?

OK, bin mir nicht sicher ob es richtig rüberkam: klar sinkt dein DLC Schiff wie jedes andere Schiff und ist dann mit dem gesamten Inhalt weg. Aber mit dem DLC kannst du - einmal gekauft - alle 24 Stunden ein neues Schiff einlösen ... Also nicht wirklich ein Grund mit DLC Schiffen vorsichtig zu sein 😁

Instead of fine tuning the existing rvr mechanics i suggest to widen the bandwith of RvR. With the introduction of portboni the loss of a Port can be An existencial Hit to a clan or even a nation. So why nit inteoduce an additional conquer step? First step is hostility (the attacket nust Show he want truely attack, He has to Invest some effort to prevent trolling), next (and new step) could be the battle in high sea to enforce the Portbattle. Many possibilitys Here: example: 7 small hostility Battles (5 vs 5 Ai + max. 5/3/1 defending Players) that Spawn in the region during 2 hours ... so the attacker must find and fight all 7 missions in 2 hours, He must prove he rule the sea to prepare the Portbattle. Last step is then the PB itself. Sure this will make Ports harder to attack. Maybe this should only be implemented for 50+ Point-Ports. There are many vatiations and Options thinkable. I want to say: maybe its time for new Instruments to Balance the whole Thing. There could be some "Blockade" Missions. Do a special hostility Mission/Port raid to Blockade a Port/Region ... Blockade means No ship-tows out and in a Region/Port for 24 hours. Or even no teleporting ... Or make trade-interruption missions ... Take a trade interruption mission (behind some trolling prevention) and then kill 20/50/100 AI traders in a Region. After successfull done mission Ports in the region will Not Produce ressources for 24 hours ... Pls Stop "doctoring" on portbattles ... maybe some problems in PBs solve if there are new possibilitys ...

Hm, seems very clear to me: Smile was Not on the side he joined. Rammed his ally, pushed him, shot him ... In my opinion a clear reason for a ... warning ...
