Guess US time zone dont get any ports???

[Hammy]

Not sure why im posting as last time i gave feedback i got suspended for 2 months, still dont know why. Anyway, its 3pm US timezone and it seems we are not going to be included in the new map wipe as every port has a PB.... 

 

So as we wasn't taken into consideration, i have a simple question, on full release will there be another map wipe???

 

If so could i please suggest that its done on a saturday, when it would at least give us a chance to get on to grind some ports before they are all gone and set into an EU timezone.

This would be nice, Since one nation seems to have taken half of all possible ports today. Not only that, we are now facing PB timers that we honestly cannot contest as a US Timezone player. With the new trade missions, port timer costs are a joke.

Ummmmm….   you DO realize you cant take just ANY port, right?   You have to go down the coast anyways...  So set it at your own time.

I just logged in at 20:00 server time and all of the ports that could be taken from free towns and from Mort already have port battles set. Same thing will happen in two days when the next set of ports open up. Something has to change for final release. Of course there will be a lower US timezone server population when all the good ports are locked behind early timers.

I guess you missed something.

Look at the map in game? Many capitals are not scheduled for PB still. What is the problem?

I'm rather astonished that the 2 ports that can be capturable from pulling missions at Mort are Cap Francais and Baracoa.  Cap Francais?  Not Pitts or Grand Turk.  What a fail.  

Not releasing this patch on a weekend so everyone could get a fair shot was a poor decision.  Also allowing unlimited battles against neutral faction was also a bad decision.

I find it to be a bit ridiculous that the US Timezone players got royally screwed. Everything is going to be set to a horrible timer and the map is going to be blocked into sections horribly.

Normally I would not say a word with a rat in the room, But There does seems to need to know basis be a Alternate timer on these. and not for just 1 clan ,I think any blue on blue should make someone an instant pirate , just me.

all the ones available to be ground have a PB set

And there's nothing stopping the early timezone from grinding up the next set that open up. US timezone will only be left with ports that aren't worth grinding up earlier.

If there is a wipe, we should limit pb to one per nation for 1st 2 weeks or so to give all a fair chance

you mean NeT neutrality warfare..or hostilities that take a week

[--Privateer--]

It needs to be on a Saturday and the port battles need to be limited to maybe 2-3 per nation, like they always have been.

You don´t know that which ports are "worth" and which aren´t. Nobody does. Except for Cartagena and those which AT THE MOMENT have rare woods.

This is going to be changed anyway.

and it also happens that the Russians were set up in every freeport ready to go as soon as the map wipe happened to grind more or less every available port? #InsideIntel

So what? Legit attempt to disturb enemies and their operations.

[Steele OooOoOOoOOOooooOOOO]

Maybe we can get the Devs to ajust Hostilities , game over in 1 week too much of not enough..

You do know, for instance Marsh Harbour is the way to the secret island, and there is no possible way it could be taken by a US timezone clan. Even though it's neutral now, it's already lost to us.

HAVOC didn´t sleep whole night, organised banzai screening in nation, and took Navasse from WO at 4? 5 o´clock in the morning.

Again, what is the problem?

Do not worry - the front lines feature is new and there will be a full map wipe on release again.
And the issues you are talking about will be taken care of too. Current limit of 3 pb per day per nation should be drastically increased. The more PB the better, even if they are at night

unlimited pbs. We need the drama back

against nations, sure.  Neutral factions.... no.  Limiting the amount of port battles a nation could snag from neutral at the start would cause nations to plan more strategically and would potentially allow other nations into certain areas not conquered immediately and allow nations to butt heads sooner rather than later.

The issue here is majority of the conquerable ports are already gone by the time US time zone clans get online....especially on a weds.  Does this matter now?  Not really.  It will in the future though.  A map "adjustment" of this magnitude should have been released on a weekend to provide all walks of a global server fair shots at snapping up the dots.  I'm sure if this patch was released during US primetime and the players snapped up most of the ports and put evening timers on them you would have similar reservations.  Shit most of the ports were gone before a lot of the working EU base could get online.  No one is asking for preferential treatment, just a fair shake on a weekend would of been ideal.  

As is typical in NA, since this affected only US based players no one gives a shit and "stop crying" is an acceptable response.
