Besides - mods, port bonus' and woods matter far more than skills in this game. The mods, port bonuses and woods matters alot more in large fleet engagements (vs 3 or more) . I beat a max ranked player that tagged me, obviously confident. He was in a fully decked purple wasa with only the best mods and full ship knowledges, i was in a poor 3rd rate oak fir, liverpool refit, with medium cannons basic surgeon's chest and basic tackles refit and marines 15. If you want to beat the best, you need to learn from the best, thats how its always been in any kind of competitive thing you do, be it IRL or in a video game Edited March 3, 2020 by erelkivtuadrater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to be a lion.. then fight, and learn. (or if you want to be like me, be a noob😘) You will learn more from retreating in battle, if things go bad. Then you do retreating before battle even started. Edited March 3, 2020 by Djakary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckleUpBones Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) This should be done for around capitals, so new players can see who the raider is and with this full information be able to ask for assistance from players currently in the capital region. And the raider will know 100% that they are attacking low ranked players and maybe make a righteous choice. It would only take minimal coding to determine 2 types of battle instance conditions, current one of standard/general battle conditions and ‘if within capital region' enable a second battle condition (tag condition) and that displays op information. I think capital raiders divided over the population isn’t that many overall (not many stoop that low), but it does seem alot or a high ratio of attacks around capitals on new players from their perspective. Of the overall population such changes shouldn’t affect them but should have an positive affect on player growth. If there’s ever a time and place to start protecting player growth, it’s right now and in & around capitals. Edited March 3, 2020 by BuckleUpBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya no... if it's ok for players to chat through global, then there should be no problem with direct communication. You are welcome to still go through global since you like asinine game mechanics.

kapteinsnabeltann Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 But i still think the best suggestian was that it should be a setting in game, so people can choose themself. and the ones who dont want it on, are beeing bullied in global chat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrago Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Perhaps if they have earned a spot on a weekly leader board there should be some identifiable pennant or something on their ship. A captain would probably know the ships sailed by the scourges of the waters in their region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you don't like people who are not native English speakers. Back on topic... I think players should be able to message anyone in the OW. Just like how offering a trade in the OW works, the player receiving a request to chat needs to accept the request, this way he can stay anonymous in the OW if he wishes. I'm ok if the player names on the OW stay anonymous to enemy nations. Obviously once a conversation has begun, both players will know each other's names. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i genuinly thought you didn't understand what you were writing/reading fully. Your last suggestion would work, an option to the idea of a setting that allows your name to be hidden or revealed.

Trawn Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Well all those reasons against showing names of "enemy player" are only valid for PvP. So why do we have to have this thing also in PvE? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMonster Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Other players have been wanting ship names added. Perhaps a compromise would be that in the open world you see an enemy ship's name and not their username or Enemy Player. You can still contact them, but it wont show their username, only the ships name. You only get to see the player name when you are in battle, like now.  So Enemy Player gets replaced with the ship name that the captain chose, I can still message them but I wont see their username, only the ships name, and I see their username when I enter a battle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
