Leviathan

Love all those pics Surcouf!

Beautiful stern!

Sorry to disappoint mate but TDA is alive and doing fine so you can stop with the blatant lying. It makes you look petty.

Same here Chustler. I can't remember that last time I was in a PvE instance unless it was to cap a trader to move a ship. I only speak for TDA but I'm really tired of these delusions from people that have been here a handful of months. "You can use your illusion - Let it take you where it may..."

So what about the frame spacing and structural superiority of the Constitution versus the Ingermanland?

This is only the first iteration. I'm sure elements may be adjusted based on feedback such as yours as we go. It's better to take small steps than to make it wide open initially and allow for a clans econ to get sabotaged.

Sorry 2 Trincs 2 Connies 2 3rd Rates TDA 2 Connies 2 Trincs (One may have been another frigate) 1 Frigate The two that escaped were Mercury/Cerberus sized and we told them to leave as we knew we were out numbered and going to get demasted and not escape.

It will be. Gold was the first thing listed in the first post.

I don't know if this is related or not but on recent occasions some people have been able to see the crossed swords but they cannot click on them while others can. It hasn't happened to myself but i've been with others when it's happened. It seems like a random occurrence so i'm not sure what the common element or cause is.

I've have stayed silent on this topic and this will be my only comment. I'm getting tired of the "TDA is dictating this and that to the US nation comments" over and over. This is not the case and we do not dictate to anyone except TDA members. In fact for the past several weeks we have been doing what we enjoy the most...sailing around and finding open world PvP. There have been no council decisions or demands to the US nation and especially nothing from TDA. When the East coast was first attacked by the majority of the pirate nation TDA was there trying to defend it along with some other use clans. However, we were outnumbered and without the full support of all the other US clans that were in the Gulf it was not possible. I personally was getting 3 hours of sleep per night from defending ports for nearly a month. Literally, the port defenses were ending at 2:30-3am my time and I was getting up at 6am for work and then here to moderate the forums. This cycle repeated and lead to burnout for myself and many others as the game became more work than fun. I'll be honest - it was frustrating that we were giving that level of effort while some clans refused to help defend the coast. Because of this TDA had to take a step back for the best interests of our group and return to having fun and finding a game/life balance. Ultimately, the US had too many ports and this allowed the player base to spread out and isolate themselves from each other in individual groups. The best thing will be to force the US to a central area and then allow natural and sustainable expansion. We saw this with the Spanish and it is the same for all nations. Ports mean nothing if you don't have the population to defend them. Life is short and we have no ill will toward any US clans, but hopefully these events shows the importance of a unified nation and working together. TDA, nor any single group, can defend it by themselves and it only benefits everyone to work together. When the US is ready to fight as one we will be there to fight along side. Again, this is my only comment on this topic so any following responses, accusations, flames etc will not be responded to.

As Bommel said, just click/hold on the group and you can move it to whatever position you want. Personally, I drag mine to the right side of the screen above the battle map.

I chose US because I am from there but also because it has never been an option to me in other games before. I also didn't want to play the most populated nation and figured the US would land somewhere in the middle. I've previously played pirate in all the games before this one.

You can always use headphones to listen and then use the chat function to type when you need to. We have a few members that do this.

There is no dura loss and you do not get any XP or gold from it. You join the duel room in your preferred ship and as soon as another captain joins in the same type of ship the duel will start.

Send me a PM here or in game and we can try to arrange something if you are interested. I'm at work now but i'll be online later this evening.

I won't be on for a while but I can hook you up with a 3rd rate to get you sailing again if you want.

I'm not sure about the pirate frigate BP or if/when it will happen. My guess is it won't happen since it's a specialty ship but things may change. However, for the rest of your post - there isn't any plans for avatars but we will have some degree of ship customization in the future.

@AKD Don't allow the same nation to duel each other on the open world

After some more thinking I would like to see 2 options (I know this isn't possible right away) Option 1 - Duel room works like Admin's first post. You enter and get assigned to player in same ship class. No dura loss and no rewards. Just fun dueling PvP for whomever wants it. Option 2 - You see someone on open world and have option to challenge them to a duel. If they accept you are sent to duel room with dura loss enabled.

I think there needs to be dura loss to encourage proper fighting, but If there is no dura loss then there shouldn't be any rewards. Can we also get a duel request option in the private message/player info window?
