The problem of the rewards for screeners could be solved quite easily. Let's suppose that - when at least one member of a battle group enters a port battle - all the members of the same battlegroup that are within a certain distance from the port in which there is the battle become elegible for marks in case that battle is won (even it they do not enter the port battle). This should allow the RvR clans to organize battlegroups in a way that also screeners could be actually rewarded for their contribution to conquest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still use the 10% damage threshold for the assists and associated screeners reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a national flag for us is just a fictional thing, pure formality and creation of appearances. Devs, what about players without a flag?

I remember screenings that worked out just thanks to very good kiters that made almost no damage to enemy hulls. I know it's very situational, but the criteria based only on distance from the port of the battle could give rewards also in these cases.

Hethwill Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I was thinking of actual battle to prevent the enemy fleet arriving at destination - sinking of Alliance fleet before it could sail to the Channel and cover invasion army crossing to England - Was not in powergaming meta mindset. Sorry for that. Will step away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to do is glance at the map to see how drastically better RvR is now, than it has ever been. Just about every nation is a contender now, even the tiny vulnerable stinging insects like Prussia and Poland. Of course, the many players who used to sail for the unstoppable overpopulated zerg nations that painted half the map in their color would likely not agree. I have played conquest games that consisted of 3 nations, and I think it worked very well. Ok sometimes (always) the ginger-of-the-month would get beaten on by the other 2 teams but it worked well I thought. (Aces High) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Texas Sir Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 2 hours ago, admin said: we want to change it but we doubt it will have the same effect as tutorial and localization. and we will not make mistake of last year where we were focused on rvr instead of new player experience. So i guess you will just have to wait. This is why instead of the old alliance system I kinda been pushing having a privateer system for pirates. That way they can work for other nations/clans and keep the RvR to the core nations. IF you odn't want to get involved in the RvR you just remain an outlaw and do your OW thing. IF you want to get into RvR you have to get a contract (letter of Marque) from one of hte nations/Clans to work with them. While on the LoM you get bonus to your credit and xp depending of the nation is a high pop (negative towards) or low pop (bonus). Kinda the same way MWO (Mechwarrior Online) does there Merc units. You can take 1 week (think use to 1 month) contracts out at a time as for who your Merc Unit works for. This will help fill out smaller clans/nations with other clans and give them something to do. After all what is a Pirate? A Privateer without a job. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Crowns Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 5 hours ago, Christendom said: Game is diluted with so many factions. I’m sure rediii can recall how many fights we would have daily/weekly in the old western vs eastern alliance days with less average players than we have now. RVR has slowed down considerably since then. Most of it has to do with the removal of the alliances (which is good btw), but some of it is that we have too many nations and not enough players to stock them I disagree. there at more port battles now than there were ever before in naval action. I'm sure that @admin can confirm that easily. since the server merge there as been 5-15 pbs a day. smaller nations simply means more targets. @Christendom the reason you have no RVR targets is because you allies with to many of them because your afraid of the big bad sweedes.

I'm not complaining about the lack of targets. Just simply that the amount of RVR players is spread too thin throughout the nations. Things are fine now, but lets say 5 players from Prussia stop playing....that will hamper the Prussian RVR group and potentially restrict them from defending ports (though it sounds like they don't care). Same goes for Poland. Russia is better off with several larger clans. The amount of port battles is a direct result of the lower BR requirements, which is great. To quote the good book, “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”. That's basically RVR currently. Now if we had more players, that would be different. We don't. The alliance system that was proposed by rediii and myself would solve this issue with our current level of population. We also only have 1 ally and several agreements in place that make sense. After the flurry of PBs last week and this past weekend I'm enjoying the downtime. Edited January 10, 2018 by Christendom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Poland. Poland is probably going to be going through that next week. My clan is granted, a bunch of what many of the hardcore community here would call casuals, perhaps filthy casuals if they desire to be as harsh. The thing is though we do not just want to do PvE and trade but rather enjoy all aspects of the game. Hence why we are attempting significantly to recruit clans or just individuals to join us in Poland because rather than just be stuck enjoying a limited aspect of the game we want to enjoy the entire game we payed for. Even with the numbers the entire faction of Poland has currently we have to be picky of what we attack because of our size as a nation and availability of our members. I am currently not against how PB are set up now but maybe some slight adjustments are needed to compensate the servers population is required.

I think every nation right now has the players to fight in 2400 br ports. which means that we are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist yet. there are more urgent things that need to be worked on rather than some clan based alliance system. deal with this problem when it shows up.

Our prestige and reputation will attract naturally more players. At first, it's going to be great because first to follow us will be good PvP players, but then, the nation will be getting overpopulated with all kind of players until the bubble will burst as the veterans and core players decide to leave due to these circumstances. 5 hours ago, admin said: like all empires Almost like I wrote about that exact thing back in June... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georg Fromm Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) When I read this discussion here, it gives me the impression that only PvP players are playing the game and only the interests of PvP players are important. I would like to point out that there are also other groups of players. The nations in the game provide a way for me and other players to identify themselves. I like the opportunity to play a game with a historical background. For exactly the same reason, a game like "Ultimate Civil War" will be more successful and find buyers than a game called "123" against "456" because there are a lot of players who are more interested in the US Civil War than one fictitious scenario.

(sorry, Google Translator) Even though this isn't native tongue, you make a good point. Historical nations is a big grabbing factor of this game. You can identify with real nations of the time. Having a solely clan focused game would be out of place with the historical map, with historical setting and historical ships.
