Whats worse? We attempted to do something similar with Nuevitas rather than drop it neutral since they would have to pump more resouces into rebuilding.....but that didn't turn out so hot in the end for pirates #thankskoltes. If LAMA is still milking taxes there without messing with the friends list they should have to the right to do so after fighting the battles and building up the upgrades. Maybe it appears they are holding clans hostage, which is no bueno. Regardless allowing GB access to the port rather than jacking it from the nation completely, as your clan did, is still the lesser of 2 evils. Don't pat yourself on the back just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB as a nation took SDC there was more than just LAMA in that port battle ,,, other clans helped grinding hostility GB Clans contributed victory marks, doubloons and combat medals to LAMA to build the defenses and port bonuses ... then LAMA decide to go Prussian and hold us hostage with the threat of dropping clans from friends list ...a lot of players have lvl 3 ship yards in SDC and its not a simple matter to go build another elsewhere ,,, the effort and grinding to get CMs and doubloons to build up SDC and build a lvl 3 shipyard will drive players out of the game . if KRAKES actions force them to do it again elsewhere.... its one thing to lose a port to an enemy ..to be held hostage by another nation is another ... Krake clan over the weekend demanded all the ports from la navasse to Sale trou . the entire les cayes region . in exchange for SDC ... if GB captians are still active in LAMA how do Krake have the ability to make this offer ???? @admin Krake are driving youur customers out of the game with their actions I never said it was LAMA alone. I was talking to you specifically, where you at the battles? not just for SDC but for Les Cayes, Saint Nic, PoP? Where you there? did you put money into it? cause it's you here complaining about it like you are owed something.

I wear size 10 shoes ,, have 3 kids and no mortgage ,, anything else you would like to know however Im not speaking for my own benefit but for GB players benefit ... maybe you are hapy that they will leave game if clans are kicked from LAMA friends list .. you can maybe be happy playing game with no enemy Edited February 24, 2020 by shunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cid Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) so if i understand most of you right: it would be ok if we had gone to pirates and take the port with us than let everyone craft? yes we removed las cause they attacked us with no warning. but added them again to friendlist one day later. ok maybe we should just take sdc to krake if this solves the problem and pls no complain from havoc or nato. you forced the situation by taking trux Edited February 24, 2020 by Captain Cid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I could go for. Fx. an xp system that allows you to unlock a refit when you've crafted x1000 ships of a give type (we all love the grind ofc).

Mouth of Sauron Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It would appear that the Port Bonus/Clan Based system of upgrading ships is not a huge success. Frankly I much prefered the system during the fine woods days where anything and anyone crafted in that port received the upgrades regardless aka Strong Hull. Far less grief and shed tears. Seems like every week there is a post about clans getting excluded, alts taking ports or folks not understanding the clan lists. Do we really need port upgrades AND a seasoned woods system? I'd say no. The anxiety over losing ports and crafting hubs really shouldn't be such a monumental thing IMO. Clans/Nations quit over it and other Nations are too afraid to attack those who could potentially take them away (aka Prussia). Battles were much more simple when the ports were less strategic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an easier adjustment would be simply lowering the port bonusses stats? Can I cut here in? Sweden has how many crafting ports? So does other nations have atleast one. We let Poland out for this. So what's the motivation of rvr now? Exactly. Fun or atleast if I see the forum to cream salt into wounds of others. This whole rvr is if you ask my about 2-5 leaders of different clans that get pissed off. And to punish the other side for there actions or shit talking they start capturing ports. Soo actually if you remove the port bonuses would you still agree about we had less rvr? Would havoc stop doing rvr just because there is no crafting port?. Also why going for more ports of your nation already has a port. For me I guess the player and rvr number dropped due 2 things. First thing was the knowledge of an wipe. I personally also stopped playing due I don't want to regrind again and again (wasn't the first wipe at all) and the 2nd thing it was in summertime. Atleast as far as I know. As long clans and there leaders bashing against each other as long rvr will be a thing. But for a long time I must also agree that maybe there is some sort of gift system needed. I see in leader board all the time this word "round ended". But for what? Maybe devs tried to give some sort of gift for holding most ports but couldn't find the time to introduce it or not the right gift. Also on the other hand it would help if they introduce some sort of resources perks or books that are able to buy with victory marks. If one of these two things would be introduced the motivation for rvr will be more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
