Like the PZ. Some ports are only for 5th rates some only for 2nd rates etc. Not sure if lowering the Br will help.

What will happen is that people will still use christian over 3rd rates in rvr and bring 1 more christian into port battles. So i really dont get your point with this change Edited January 10, 2020 by erelkivtuadrater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is written in @admin post: 3 hours ago, admin said: to fix BR differences for Raider port battles So, as I think, they were fixing NPC Raiders and for this changed BR of both ports and some ships.

Despe Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 i like actual BR limits sistem, you can play battles with little, medium and large fleets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erelkivtuadrater Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 8 minutes ago, Intrepido said: Instead of fixing the poor useless pavel, his BR gets lowered. Also first rates, specially santi and ocean, will still be the prefered choice as their BR is more efficient than the third rates. Those ships should have a higher BRs, as suggested in the rvr thread so more third rates will finally make an appareance in pb fleets instead of oceans, santis and chritians. @admin is adding three new third rates but right now, judging by the pics in national news, 74 gunners arent really used in PBs. There must be a reason for that. totally agree, the BR on the 1st rates and 2nd rates are way to low to justify that they have over 50% more broadside lb, HP and higher thickness then the heaviest 3rd rate (bellona). Christian is basically a slightly smaller victory so shouldnt be any less br then bucentaure atleast, while they should have increased their br by abit anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebool Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 It is really very difficult to find the balance, I really liked the br when it was different in each port, because it gave a lot of dynamism to the battles, but I also have to recognize that when we put the low br, it implies that the battles always enter same players, with the exception of some exceptions we are always seeing the same battles with the same players. It is my humble opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebool Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Perhaps the answer would be to limit the vessels to 1, or 2 according to which ports. You can put a br of 5000 but only be able to take 2 first and 4 seconds or some idea based on this path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday hotfix addressed the Nassau Raider routes in port battles and slightly increased spawns of trading resources. ... good that work on it is still going on. But the layout of some raids also leaves something to be desired. In some ports, the target circles are outside or on the border of the join circle. If we have headwind from the beginning, it will be difficult to reach them, even impossible to intercept the raiders before they have reached them. I would like to remind you that for us a lot depends on it and it is not fun to lose the effort of months because of something like that. Especially on the PVE server, where clans usually only have one port and where each port will attacked at some point. Here one example: Edited January 10, 2020 by Holm Hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wins? 4 ocean 3600 BR vs 9 Wasa 4 oceans vs 7 Bellonas 4 ocean 3600 BR vs 6 christians 6 christians 3600 vs 9 wasa Etc... Highest value is big ships. Which is historical accurate but not helpfull in NA. if i play in that PB wins always the opposite side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Archer Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The problem with PB is not a BR issue. It is more the missing water depth that favours the biggest ships. I hope the devs will somehow implement that in the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouth of Sauron Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Doesn't really matter what the BR of a port is, folks will always try to bring the biggest ships they can to the fight. Only way to prevent 1st rate spam is to rate lock ports. It's quite simple. Back when the 1st rate BR was made a lot higher the meta was to bring bucs for a couple of weeks and eventually 1st rates started creeping back into every PB starting with 1 or 2. Those 42s and the thickness meta is just too good to not have. Rate lock the ports. Non capitals should be 3rd rates or lower. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
