Abram Svensson Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Could be a good idea to remove the crossed sword immediatly after the join timers are down. So right at the moment where the Battle is closed, the swords in OW disappear. Makes it more difficult for everyone who is coming after the first 3 minutes to locate the exact position and they can only guess. Not a solution but maybe a start.

z4ys Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 How man ships got recaptured after they were prized back in these days? So in my opinion revenge fleets are accurate in a way. Dump teleports at all. It was good to solve the magic star fleet appearance at Freeports. Why cant it solve other ports too? A right because everyone is so lazy and dont want to sail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this one. Probably easy to implement as well. Current implementation with additional speed bonus while invisible. The best suggestion so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems unfair if you target trade ships. Still like the dual invisibility more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfimp Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) I am completely opposed to any and all teleports. In a game about OW sailing and PVP on the high seas, anything that takes player ships out of the OW is a mistake. A healthy economy depends on trade goods and ships being exposed to risk - without that, the primary gold sink in the game (destruction of ships & cargoes) does not happen. It also prevents a lot of PVP (including hunting of player traders) and a variety of play styles. I think the current system is the best we've ever had in terms of teleports. As for revenge ganks, the ideal solution in my opinion would be for the exit point of the battle instance to be reflected in the exit point in the OW. This solves the issue of instance exit camping (aka "revenge fleets") nicely, while still giving the "coast guard" a chance. Devs say this is hard, but maybe they can revisit it - @admin has also said that "all things are possible," so who knows. If that is not possible, then I think trying the suggestion of extended invisibility - along with an extended "cannot attack or be attacked for X minutes" - for ships leaving a battle instance would be an improvement to the revenge gank problem while still preventing the exploit of invisibility to attack other ships. We could try 2min of invisibility followed by 1min of "cannot attack or be attacked". If you didn't escape the revenge gank at that point - well, sorry buddy but you got in over your head.

Problem is the game map is too larger not to allow teleports. It takes too long to sail from one spot to another in hopes of engaging anyone. The only people who can spend 2 hrs sailing to a spot for pvp, and then 2 hrs back home are people who are hardcore gamers. The causal gamer doesn't ave time for that. And if that's the goal, hardcore gamers only, your population is going to decrease dramatically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that's the goal, hardcore gamers only, your population is going to decrease dramatically. If you setup an outpost in a well-situated free town then you do not need to sail for 2hrs to find PVP. The casual gamer who only wants well-balanced PVP on-demand, with minimal time commitment, and no threat of meaningful loss is in fact asking for an arena combat game. A sandbox-style open world game with player-driven economy that's meant to emulate the solitude and sometimes loneliness of real sailing is not going to scratch their itch. Hopefully Naval Action Legends will, though. P.S. - With only 500hrs since Sea Trials, I am this "casual" you speak of, and yet I enjoy the game as it is. I have a career, a family and an active social life. I still find time for Naval Action and usually don't play for much more than 2-3hrs at a time. I have picked a play style that affords me plenty of excitement and action... while also requiring patience, planning and perseverance. MMOs are time sinks compared to other games and are not for everyone... and that's OK. Edited June 27, 2017 by Benedict Ahhnold 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daguse Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 37 minutes ago, rediii said: No that's something to say when you question the others person knowhow how things play out in pvp nowadays. Basically your first goal is to trap the enemy on his position while you get more people to surround the battlelocation and cut off every escaperoute. After this you let them go and make some nice tags on them. Yesterday 3 Constitutions, 2 Suprises, 1 Pirate Frigate went into Port au prince and wanted to gank a 3rd and a 4th in front of leogane. When they came out they got tagged with a bad tag. We held them inside battle for 10 minutes. After that they got retagged with a better tag. We got 1 Consti in this battle. They left battle again They got retagged 2-3 more times. 1 Suprise escaped out of port au prince in a course of 2 or so hours. Everything else got sunk/boarded That's why the invisibility needs to be increased. Hell go 5 minutes, you should be able to get out of there in 5 minutes. If you are tagged it will be a smaller fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a huge improvement without logout option as well, but... In my opinion we should encourage people to not form revenge fleets. Those fleets are huge time sinks for everyone. Tag -> Instance -> Escape -> Tag -> Instance -> Escape -> Tag -> Instance -> Escape -> Tag -> ... Logging out is not a nice option either, maybe it is Friday evening and you were planning to play 6 hours more. Also some kind of possibility to go to sleep should be provided, imo. Maybe you can logout directly, but your ship is left visible for X seconds and cannot be attacked. I suppose revenge fleets cannot know if that player is going to log back in 5 minutes or 15 minutes. Revenge fleets are also decreasing reasons to escort. Why to escort when you can "teleport" a fleet to your location when needed? I do not know if you have ever been target for revenge fleets, but inside it feels like that revenge fleet was teleported to your location. Escorting should be easier. Provide /follow command, or players could be allowed to be in your fleet. Edited June 27, 2017 by Cmdr RideZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored_Sheep Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 You cannot play this game PvP only. The PvP does not bring much progress to your ships or player rank. PvP is tip of the iceberg for those that already learned how to sail and fight NPCs, who got the resources and can afford spend their ships in fighting other players in OW. PvP battles in OW are and most probably will never be fair and that´s good IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t think so. I like that OW is now full of frigates rather than epic lineship fleets. PB screening is now also more interesting as lineships are rare and it is dangerous to use them unprotected in OW. Maybe one day I will experience PB with variety of ships instead of 25 identical slow floating fortresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revenge fleets are of course no joy if you know that battle was ended and there are no ships in OW. I like revenge fleets because they bring multiplayer cooperation and fun. I like to punish unwanted intruders for sinking my clan-mate. I like the tension when I sail in enemy territory always looking over my shoulder and scanning the nation chat for valuable intel. As soon as you commit to PvP you have to accept the reality. This game is about war and war is never fair. I actually suggested few months ago that I like to have some in game automated enemy reporting - as soon as my ship gets to friendly harbor I like to be able to send report to nation chat about last known enemy location. Such game mechanic may IMHO generate many opportunities for PvP missions. Edited June 27, 2017 by Armored_Sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will eventually just make people not venture out of their "protected zone".... thereby decreasing PvP... like it already is... Would the Danes or French actually get ANY PvP if people didnt venture into their areas? I have yet to see any west of La Mona.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daguse Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) The fact is revenge fleets suck, no one wants to be ganked. TPing doesn't work either, players need to be in OW otherwise there's no one to attack. To far one way or another and you kill PvP. So we need to find a solution that allows players to enter enemy waters, attack players, and leave without being ganked. All this while allowing nations to defend themselves. So no bitching till you have an idea. I've said my peace and I believe it meets all the criteria. Increases invisibility timer drastically and make it so invisible ships can't see other ships. Includes the idea of increased speed when invisible. Attackers have a chance to get away from the main revenge fleet while nations still have a chance to attack enemies that tread into their waters.

PongoNW Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 "I want to be able to ambush a weaker party in front of their own capital and disappear into a battle instance that denies that party any support then I want to be able to teleport safely out of that invisible instance when the battle is over" I AM HARD CORE LOL this whole game is upside down.

Sureshot Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 2 options to find PvP in Naval Action. Sail to enemy waters, take a risk of getting ganked in the first place. After battle you will get revenge fleeted and if the revenge knows what they are doing you won't escape, it will be impossible. Wait for enemy to come to your waters gank them right away, or revenge fleet them. They can't escape and you will definitely win. Why go look for PvP again? Stay near your own waters. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
