monk33y Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just now, Lonar said: So it is Prussia, Poland/Lithuania and Russia? I have one big question about this. Why not Portugal i mean they are the most logic one because they actually had holdings in the "New World"? Portugal doesn't have the second largest playerbase... Before long this game will be translated into Russian.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example Russia has a few ships into the game, the Germans got the Wapen and now Prussia which is fair but it shouldn't be about always satisfying them.

Simon Cadete Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Since historical accuracy is out and it’s all about pleasing the player base, you guys should add Australia as a nation since we have so many players from there. I mean if Russia or the commonwealth ( Poland-Lithuania) are in, why stop there? We have a Chinese clan in Global so add China as well. I’m Portuguese by the way and i’m Pissed!!

Simon Cadete Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Since this is a thread people are paying attention to, I have a suggestion. Get rid of nations altogether and just have clans and the ability to create their own flag. Maybe a nice random map about a 1/3 the size of the current one to match its player base. I think these would be nice changes to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk33y Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The game has always panda'd to the biggest playerbase/nation. Brits complain about kpr ganking... Devs install forts every ten feet on Jamaica. Brits complain about kpr ganking again... Devs introduced the stupid greenzones. Sweed/French/Spain/Danes complain about night flips... Devs make eu and global servers... The Russian players just get on with it and get rewarded. I don't see any problems with this... Iv not seen the Russians threatened boycott etc!!

admin Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 13 hours ago, Sir Texas Sir said: Some other limits this should not work in any neutral ports or ports open to other nations. You should only be able to move ships from your nations captured ports to another. Hell I would love it if it was limited to only clan owned ports. The ship has to have no cargo in it. This prevents Trade ships from moving cargo. You can keep the cannons on it, just no cargo allowed. Maybe allowed repairs but nothing else. Hell most folks just ship cannons to a port and open a WASA in those ports. What you have said is of course a worry. But we lived with ship transfer for quite a while last year and based from what people say there were a lot of pvp anyway. Ship transfer will indeed remove some ships from the map, during travel. But people send the ships for a reason (to check pvp in that area or to go to port battle). Saving time for travel will increase time to combat. The balance we think will be achieved by the fact that this saved hours will result in more combat, so lets see. ps - ships can't be sent with cargo. and can only be transferred from outpost to outpost of your nation or to free town. (Clan set neutral towns don't participate in this tow system) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sella Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) There is a difference in satisfying in-game nations that represent a larger chunk of the playerbase rather than consumer groups from certain nations These changes benefited or not, larger chunks of the playerbase of multiple nationalities to impove the game in general and not only to satisfy certain nationalities. Just my humble opinion Edited October 12, 2017 by Sella22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Clan set neutral towns don't participate in this tow system) Thanks for explaining the mechanic. But in my opinion it will lead to: login - tow ship - logout - play other game while waiting Next day: Login - do pb -logout Because RvR is the only gamecontent beside pve at the moment. How does it slove anything for the OW player who already has no content. OW is already so plain. With that in mind way should people go out and hunt even they have now more spare time? If i may remind. Yes we had more pvp but it was just freetown ganking with most of the people sitting in port chatting and waiting.

Ok I was going to say you killed 50% of the OW PvP with this cause we have most of it when folks are trying to get or leave a port for a port battle. Now you say it's instant. Screw that crap. Now your going to see big nations just gank the crap out of any small fleets cause they can instantly send there fleet to the hot spots. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt look like that it is just for a few weeks. At least there is no word about that. 9 minutes ago, Wraith said: You just eliminated any reason for limited dock space and ship choice management, in addition to removing huge amounts of strategic content from the game. It deserves to be asked, what are you thinking? I still wonder why we have to choose perks. The game lost so much depth in the last patch and now it looks like its losing even more. The 3 new nation are just a drop on a hot stone. May I suggest a new target group : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps global timers are actually bad for the game and hard limits keep players better? + US buyers join US server and see no enemies as everyone joins US there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
