US/GB have the players and now have the endless supply of combat marks and gold to defend their waters. No. I am telling that obliging PvP to be also something else than ganking only is a good thing. My traders are most of times outside safe areas, because more profit can be done that way. Young or new players need learning areas. Before finding by themselves that staying in safe areas is not the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your post up to the last part. There is a simple concept that we keep forgetting, so I will say it again: You cannot force players to play the game as you want them to. They will leave if you try. They will not go to the PvE server because they told or getting forced, they will leave because that's not what they want to do. Please see below. This is your answer. 6 hours ago, Shrez said: nope Everyone that joins a PvP server have in mind to PvP, when, how long, veteran or not, it's all up to them. If I started to tell and then force everyone to play the game how I wanted, I would end up playing alone but that's what the single player games are for. In conclusion, if anyone is into forcing/telling other players what to do there are single player games for that.

The thing is nobody cares if PvE players leave on the PvP server... how are they needed when they sit in the safe zone to do PvE even at max rank ? New players should have enough protection to be able to level up safely but letting veterans use the safe zones is a bit silly... it takes away potential PvP on a server that is tagged as PvP in the favour of PvE... can you really not spot the problem here? I don't want to take the safe zone from veterans but i actually find it sad that they want / need it. They chose the PvP server and had enough time to get into PvP. I ring my little shame bell for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there are no PvE players on a PvP server, just hardcore and casuals, PvE it's part of the game and it's just means to an end. Finally, I don't think anyone cares about your little bell or what you do with it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, only problem is the current zones are way too big and some veterans don't use them to fall back and rebuild - they just stay there permanently in their little PvE world... I like the idea of the zones alot but there just isn't enough incentive to leave them even tho many asked for that... I hope the PvP Mark comeback that admin talked about will fix some of that... im all for giving people some room to rebuild their ships and level etc. but when i see 400 players online on the PvP server i assume most of them are up for PvP and in reality 50 of those are alts and 200 are carebears that never leave the safe zone ( honestly why not just switch to the PvE server ? ) and will run from you if you ever accidently bump into them in OW, even if they have the better ship etc. ... you get my point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the problem with the certain other nations over in the Dane/Swede waters, but I was coming out of Cayo De Sol the other day a port us pirates own on GLOBAL and notice it's in the reiforcement zone for spain. Glad those guys are on our good side for now or that would suck. They just have to tag one of us and than call in. Some thing we found out about St Mary on Day one of the patch. We had plan to flip that port utnil some one found out it was in the protected zone. No ports that can't be captured should be in these zones. So they need to drop a few nations (not add more or make those the new nations) or make the circles smaller to only cover zones that are none captureable. Lets see how the next patch goes.

They are a little too large. People should be free to do whatever floats their boat. If you'd prefer to see 25 people on the PVP server instead then you can try to force them to do things your way only. Probably about half the people on the server at any given time are either AFK or logged in too briefly to do any PvP stuff. I go on daily for about an hour to use my labor hours and move some resources around. Some days I have a little more time, but I will only do PvP if there's a group activity happening. No point in sailing out alone to throw away my ships/repairs/cannons just to please old Landsman.

When there was no Safezones. You either had to go to some Far away Port that took forever to Reach for other Factions. Or you could pretty much not really Sail out unless you had an Full PvP Squad ready. Cause if you dared leaving Port alone it would be like 3 minutes till some Ganking Squad was at your Ass. Especially for the less Populated Nations that was Pretty much a Death Penalty cause the more Populated Nations just Camped their Capitol all day making sure that no New Player rolling on that Nation would ever have any Fun and pick up the Game....

Well. The Problem with Players is. If you give em the Freedom to do something. They will do it. This Includes that if you allow Players to aimlessly massacre New Players and Ruin the Game for others they will do it. So anything but an absolute Protection will never work as People will just do it anyways if they can. I however find it much better this way than the other way around. Without the Safezones the Game would be Dead sooner or later cause nobody plays it anymore. With the Safezones we might for now not have much PvP anymore. But the Population will grow. And sooner or later the Population will be big enough again that People leave the Safezones on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to play PvE to "build your character into PvP", you build it into PvP by actually playing PvP. Upgrades are nice and all but captain skill / pvp skill is what actually matters.
