Arsilon Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 land in battles in and of themselves won't fundamentally change a lot of the broken mechanics. In the meantime nations/players/clans 'optimization' (bordering on abuse) of those mechanics to tilt gameplay in their favor (not an indictment since this is a competitive game and any advantage will be leveraged if possible) will continue to erode people's enjoyment of the game. Even when you lose it should still be fun (unless you are just a complete sore loser). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batista Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I mean... you won 1 battle but what does it matter when you lost 10 ports in a matter of 2-3 hours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Lord Lucifer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 We were expecting, and hoping, for fights in the Puerto Rico ports. I think the Brit clans in that area either moved to another part of the map, or got frustrated by the French pushing back. I hope they don't quit the game, we can't lose any more server population. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Roberts Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I mean... you won 1 battle but what does it matter when you lost 10 ports in a matter of 2-3 hours? Undefended ports are not that big of a victory, yes they are a victory but not worth boasting about, anyone can take undefended ports, just depends on the time of day and numbers.

Lord Roberts Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 so you're saying most of the British port captures aren't worth boasting about right? I only care about ports that actual PVP was done at, not ports that had no one defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsilon Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hopefully the Brits will stop setting their port timers for times where there won't be any PvP then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chetamista Noud Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 All leaders and diplos, it would be wise to LAY OFF the smaller nations, and allow them to grow. When a group gets beaten back into submission, it creates an unenjoyable experience, an experience that will lead to a continuing decrease in server population. We can't afford to lose any more players. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snackbar Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Roberts is too busy sending hate mail to me to pvp. Yet he says he doesn't care. Irony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMCS Warrior Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I mean... you won 1 battle but what does it matter when you lost 10 ports in a matter of 2-3 hours? 10 meaningless ports. See what happens if you try to capture something we care about. Oh wait Snackbar knows. Edited March 20, 2016 by HMCS Warrior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ravenburg Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 From what I hear it was a glorious fight, on both sides, much like the last few engagements with the pirates. They are truly being dastardly and I salute them for their tenacity. I was there for many of the open sea battles, alas I missed the port ones. Dare I say it, the pirates are giving us the fight we so crave. Even in my lowly Trinc I am having a blast (GET IT?!) firing broadsides left and right while wholeheartedly accepting return fire. It would seem the French wish to see Haiti restored to its former French Empire, looks like the grind to Flag Captain just got that much more interesting, tis but a target rich environment. I will say this, at least they didn't flee like the Americans, would they not be pirates I would have invited them for tea. Regards, Ravenburg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
