Welcome to game testing
-
I usually have to play now with a 195 ping .195-780 My problem is when it hit's the Uk that is the cause of the constant spike in ping rate

I think it's ridiculous that people scuttle rather than surrendering the ship. Really this is cutting off your nose to spite the other players face. Not very honourable.
If you don't have time, just surrender right away. It's just a ship. Buy another one.
As others have said scuttling your own ship in conditions where most of your crew would perish (for instance in battle) would have been an almost non-existent thing.
Almost every battle historically had the losing ship striking it's colours and surrendering.
A good example being one of the USS President when it was captured by the British. Why surrender twice instead of scuttling? But they did.
I think it is even more ridiculous that it takes 4 ships jumping one and very dishonorable for those 4 to not finish the battle once they have the one ship helpless.
To not do the honorable thing and just either capture the ship or finish it when it can no longer defend itself Sir.
Perhaps it would not be a necessary tactic if the mindset of the attackers would not be they same as a cat playing with a captured mouse and let the Captain take a more honorable direction and fight it out to the death. Perhaps the ability to at least turn ones ship a little even due to wave actions totally demasted might need to return to stop the just sitting out of firing angle by multiple ships against one.
If you Sir like to speak of Honor maybe your thought should lean in that direction for both parties.as it is not an honorable fight if you do not at least let your opponent chose to try to defend his ship or destroy it as he sees fit .
With that said could it not also be an alternative to your proclamation that the choice of the Captain in your words choses a ridiculous solution to the problem by not surrendering but a thought comes to mind. What was stopping the other ships playing like a cat with a helpless mouse from just saying "We taught this one ship a lesson he is helpless now and no danger to us" , from just stopping the battle and sailing away ?
That Sir would be a more Honorable outcome.
Point to historical data all you like those instances mean nothing unless the player base plays with that code of conduct and lets be honest with each other, that is not going to happen ever so using that as an example is wasting your time 2016 historical data in game shows maybe 1% ( A guess ) of players will abide by what happened and play with the mindset of the era this game is modeled after.

If i get caught by 3 ships that think it's "Fun" to snipe at me for 30 minutes an then demast me and sit just out of my line of fire and shoot me for another 10-15 minutes and not just end it so we both can go about our business.
Then hell yea i will turn off survival and either sink faster or blow up because you think it is fun to jump one ship with multiple ships and draw out the battle to your enjoyment for that long no way in hell will I let you take my ship as an added insult if I can help it.

Danes ,French and Spanish. As they cant do it themselves

I never get involved in these but there is a time for everything.
I was there and not only did they ruin others time to play the game by doing this childish thing and then go to chat to taunt people waiting at the port to cap it, that have nothing to do with their stupidity or involved in their clan dispute.
One other serious point I must make is due to their actions it is just about a act of treason doing what they did.
The port battle that followed after this incident that took place at English Harbor was the launching point of many of the attackers that came from that very port that they never planted the flag at Codrington.
I have a very hard time believing there was not treacherous dealings going on , coincidence factor is way too high.
Deliberate helping of the enemy to launch an attack on another Swedish port needs to be addressed.
Going out of your way to buy a flag and not use it to grief others should have a strong penalty like flag buying privelages suspended till they learn to play nice.
We do not need this crap type of play in this game.

Pretty soon they are going to have to have a section on here you can go to to see who is mad at who and who is attacking who and who wants to attack who.
A weekly progarm update on who is doing what to whom (lol) so some of us can figure out what the hell is going on hehehe.
Seriously it is getting hard to keep track even what nation clans are doing anymore as even they are infighting.
Go to attack a nation player NOOOO you can't do that we have an agreement ..2 days later 5 of them jump you as you sail by lol , Wait a minute I thought ???
Post a scorecard so a lot of us know who is fighting who this week would be helpful hehehe.

I know a couple you can get a pavel into they were reported and never changed.

Solution might be :
Flag can be bought but you have 5 minutes to get it in transit to the port being targeted if you sit in port with it, it expires.
Has to hit OW in a set time frame or it expires.
Wipe xp and all assets for the exploiters

Well i am online quite a bit on PVP 2 and PVE 1 now.
Have a bit of experience in game , 2446 hours so far and try to be helpful and have chat open in game when I am on..
If you need the help I will offer it.

It is going to happen i just saw a US player using DragonFire yesterday on PVE server so pretty sure ppl will think it is me even though i shortened it to just Dragon after OW # 1.
At least they can't use it here on the forum or Steam as i still retain it.
-
Sorry to hear hope you feel well soon seems to be that time of the season everywhere.
-
There goes 2 duras on the gold renommee meh its testing hope they get it fixed
Gonna happen once in a while embarrassing to get sunk by a navy though lol glad I wasn't there to see it
Keep up the good work guys !!

Welcome and good luck to your clan.

Going to give this a break for awhile.
I am 1600 + into testing this game and the grind to level back up honestly and craft is more than I can give anymore.
Now the ai outrun you and game over and faster than we will ever be able too change boarding commands and wipe you out it has ceased to be fun anymore.
Having to grind anything this much to advance honestly only appeals to the hard core 10 hour a day players I am burnt out from trying to keep up since ow started and even playing 8-14 hours a day 7 days a week at times I still was passed like I was going the other way by players that got to Rear Admiral weeks ahead of level I am at which is still 20k from that rank.
Ships that use to be around to break if you were trying to level up crafting are apparently moved to more populated ports so moving my crafting center once again is not going to happen too much resources to move and loss not worth it in as to do so would require too much personal real time to do.
Sledge hammer changes with no warning like this with drastic results (maybe wrong word so chose one you like) has killed the enjoyment of testing this as I know the only way to keep up is to exploit the game.
I enjoyed taking on large ai fleets and trying to survive now they run or just no chance at all ZERO of even having the remote chance to cap 2 frigates and a cerb with a modded to the hilt 8 mod slot frigate thanks to the changes so the grind went up I bet 64% to ever have a chance to craft with broken ships that option flew out the window if only a couple of ppl are trying to do crafting as a team.
Sad to give this up I liked it but time is better spent elsewhere I think.
Good luck !

Interesting yes but I can see massive exploiting of it.
Ts comes alive hey guys it says 4 (pick a nation) captains are in Plymouth as I went by let's set up to get them when they come out.
Worse yet TS comes alive again " Hey guys I see " Pick a hated or hotshot player " is in This port I just sailed by let's get him.
My vote would be no , no ones needs to know what port I am or we are in at any given point of time.
Like the idea as it is a 2 way street but have seen what is going on here lately and can see that being abused a lot.

If your using multiple accounts in this testing phase to promote one account why is this allowed I just don't understand as this is an exploit.
Your not doing it to test different factions of the game it's done to ramp up a single account faster that normal.... in essence a cheat.
Even doing it to test crafting is a player exploiting time needed to learn and craft in fact cheating the crafting process and what I hope will not be allowed in the finished product.
If this is allowed how do you learn properly how easy or frustrating the crafting process is.
It also starts to run into the problem of game players in multiple accounts in essence robbing ports of rare materials or better said tougher to find materials so others trying to test the crafting phase can't do so because the exploiters raided the port using their multi accounts.
Multi accounts need to go or wiped if found to be exploiting the game for ramping up so fast and not following the natural speed of ranking up.
This effects players and game alike.

In the end of everything this game has to find "Balance"
Can a player ever hope to compete with a player that can play 5-6 hours a day 5-7 days a week and reach significant rank and have all the mods and gold he or she needs to dominate anyone (case in point Shelby )?
Most people have jobs and family obligations that prevent that many hours of becomming very skilled as some in this game.
I very much doubt without the mods in place they could survive without great frustration becoming the norm.
That said I could see the higher rank you gain the less mods available to you. You attain Rear Admiral or Commodore then you should have the skill to go against a Flag or post captain or lesser ranks with one mod max or no mods.
Might make a captain think twice preying on lesser ranks not knowing what 3 or 4 mods the junior to him chose or it might make the battle a lot more interesting if the attacked captain thinks maybe his mods might be enough to have a chance beating the higher rank
Might be worth a try and see what happens might result in a lot more pvp.
Higher the rank you get and more experience then less mods available.
Lower the rank more mods you can use to get you up to speed and try to survive and not make it a feeding frenzy on newer players.
Just a thought might balance the game a bit more.

Well i finally reached according to Steam 1002 hours testing this game since I first started in late December.
Not sure if that is a good thing or bad lol.
Wonder if that is a tad high or maybe it is average?

Fine then planking. Guys i play with say armor and i think it could of been figured out that adding extra planking to a ship was the same as adding a coat of armor to it sorry i should of been more correct and specific.
If i shoot every bit of planking off your ship it should not continue to sail or fight it should sink immediately so if the gage says you have no more hull then what in the world is keeping your ship together and floating you have no ship then .
-
I have completely stripped more than one ship of all armor it had , zero showing and even after repeated broadsides it still fought for 8 more minutes till I rammed it in the bow then it sank or in other cases more than one ship had to repeat hit it to the point we started asking what's going on why is it not sinking.
I agree the armor is gone the hull should be next 2 separate damage gauges should be a help.
32 and 24 longs hitting at point blank range should go right through the no armor zones and hit the opposite side every time

Hmmm yea thanks for the clarification I have been avoiding these types of battles for the op reason given. I had thought it was clear raise A pirate flag your demoted do it again a few times your removed to pirates.
I did it at the start of OW and I looked on the back of my ship and the Jolly Roger was flying there plain as day I had raised the pirate flag and was shipping out in battle on a pirate side in this battle (Just because a GB player had in essence flipped me the bird in a previous battle and I wanted to repay the kindness and stuff the bird down his gizzard) which I did and then the ruling came and I thought like the op it was very clear raise the pirate flag on a national ship your punished so maybe in battle just a pennant not the Jolly Roger gets raised ?.
PvP EU One Server crashed?
