At war means only 2 hours to play the game per day.

[angriff]

Seems with just one nation to be at war and all their ports the same time.  This means only 2 hours in the entire day can you play port battles. 

[SteelSandwich]

which still leaves you with 22 hours in which you can raid their territory.

[Anne Wildcat]

That should change as they are reworking port captures next patch. Hopefully that's still the plan.

[TommyShelby]

Steel get real man. 

 

You know very well PvP is Port Battles. 

OW PvP is a lie! There is no PvP in OW. Skirmish battles on the OW sucks. Everyone knows this. This game should be Port Battle Action, not Naval Action.

 

/s off. 

 

Port Battles are only a part of the game. They aren't the game. OW PvP is awesome. Different, but awesome.  
But yeah, from what we know the timers are going away in one of the upcoming patches.

To be honest most of the ports we take are open timmers or set to some odd time that they think no one will stay up and do.  Well we stay up and hit those ports and captured them cause no one is on to defend them.  We don't set the times it's who ever captured that port.  So it's only our own ports that have timers.

Well raid is not in the game right now

I dont understand the problem

explain yourself better Captain

[Mrdoomed]

Wow just imagine how much fun you could have if you knew there was more to this game than teleports and port battles.

Take a look at the timers for PVP2

Still not seeing the problem. I've never needed to check a port timer to sail to Kingston and relieve a trader of his goods or cap a rated ship with the other pirates I ran across operating in the area.

Again those timers are set for all types of hours and the port owner sets them.  You don't like the hours drop the flag yourself when you take it and set your own timer.

There is nuance in saying "timers are going away".

Port battle time slots are not going away, but will no longer be dictated by a fixed time slot.

Yes, this might be a problem, if so then it needs refinement.

First and foremost PBs will not be the holy grail anymore (if they ever where). Rather a "small" closure of the continous ongoing struggle to increase hostility.

Region capture being the grander step. Capital region and Capital capture next steps. Until finally getting to end of season (wipe).
