    keeping someone in battle without intention to fight is griefing.

    Screening is tagging someone, but not keeping them there for ages without a fight. This is a legit tactic. When you screen someone out, you fight or you let go. Everything else is griefing.

    someone could argue that by screening, all I need to do is hit you every 2 minutes to make sure you don't leave.

    People "screen" others out of a port battle and do exactly this without "fighting."

    there is no black and white because what you think is fine and doesn't warrant a tribunal, others believe it permanently warrants a tribunal. 

    Screening is for the strict objective to not allow someone to fight what they want to fight, it's no different than someone attacking someone for the sole purpose of not allowing them to do something they want to do.

  2. I am 100% for a total Clan v Clan, apart from that I disagree with your issues and solutions, but agree that the problem should be fixed. These 3 things would be what I would change to largely change/solve what players perceive to be an issue.

    1. Clan v Clan - nation only as a dackdrop

    2. Friendly clan list - any clan on the list is friendly to you (even clans in other nations). Players in OW - if friendly, would show up just like you see players in your nation.

    3. Port Bonuses should be destroyed, completely. In exchange there should be more "Economic" bonuses. Stat boosts are hello kittying stupid. kill port bonuses as they are now. Look, I love port bonuses, I also loved the idea, but they were a mistake.

     

    on a side note, It is interesting to note that the issue the pirates brought upon themselves is entirely unique...and while it probably is the perfect example of what "can be abused" the majority of the rest of the nations seem to not have the same issue here... 🤔

    Other nations that possibly have issue with friendly clan list abuse or "satellite clans" are Russia and Great Britain - but I haven't quite seen the same irritations (except everyone hating on the BASTD clan).

    What kind of arse bothers a victim to laugh at their demise?

    What if there was a Nation combat news that gives that info for nation kills? This way the enemies would not get the info, but nation members would be able to communicate with the victim?

    Maybe I am just being pessimistic... But I know a good few players that would do it.

  4. If I understood the original intention correctly.

    1. The intention of not showing the player name that got sunk was to stop any harassment upon the player. Personally, I would not prefer if the name of the player was shown that sunk.

    2. I agree

    3. again, I'd prefer if we keep it as only the killer - but otherwise I agree.

     

    The playful taunting has become rather harmful very quickly in almost all the experiences I have dealt with or had the pleasure witnessing.

    I'm told it was an ego fest between Koltes and 7grams.  Koltes left BL4CK to make RAVEN or whatever it is, 7grams opened all pirate ports they owned and quit the game.    

    Saviors of the pirate nation.

    so fairly normal PvP2 pirate behavior.

    100% agree, I've had lots of fun conversations with opposing players in the game.  I miss open-world conversations, those have been fun too, very few abusive.  For a MMOG the population is unusually civil overall.  One day I was in a Requim (which I can't sail for shit) when engaged by an expert in the same (Latron I believe).  He spent 15 minutes giving me lessons before sinking me.  A gentleman and a sailor.  Not often you hear someone say "now shoot at this part of my mast"...

    interesting, becuase I think @Latron actually despises the requin :P. He much prefer's his Mercury or Pickle.

    Anyone have a screenshot of George's Town? I'd like to congratulate the U.S., and the British on a glorious victory over BL4CK... solid work on both fronts.  I sure hope that BL4CK has spent some solid time upgrading Nuevitas' shipbuilding as a fallback position instead of putting all their eggs in Santiago! ;) 

    No battle - pirates were not at GT

  8. 1. Port bonuses should only be economic boosts, kill all the stat boosting bonuses.

    2. Lower BR on all ports

    Players stop the perception of a better ship because of port bonuses. All ships in game lose the crazy stat boosting we have in game which allows us to go back to more strategy/skill (in my opinion)

    A nation holding a high point port can make larger ships more efficiently - i.e. using less resources and less labor hours.

    Lowrr BR allows smaller nations to participate in port battles - this doesn't mean offensive PBs may happen but rather the defending small nation has a higher chance to contest a port that otherwise they just give up now with no fight.
