Aviac64 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Here's what it's been like for the British today. Almost every single other faction coming to our capital and ganking our players and farming our AI, with no recourse. Not to mention they're actually teaming up, not attacking each other. Here, have a look. Attached small images because of size restriction Edited June 27, 2015 by Aviac64 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankey Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The world nations fear the might of the British Empire and its Navy. They try to crush our new captains and dishearten them into quitting or re-rolling. Do not worry a smidgen. This is testing and either cope with the challenge, move to new hunting grounds or by all means re-roll. Enjoy the testing period and have fun. feedback all of those annoying F11 bugs, that is what this period of testing is about. Only your true metal will be needed when the final release goes live, at that point we will all be Ensign's in Lynx's and re-rolling our toons. I hope we will be given a decent grace period to retain our player names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry White Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Unfortunatley their target is the SLRN but they just engage all which is understandable, but pretty low, seeing as everyone said people starting in lynx's are not going to be fair game, but now that the players are in surprises at M&C they have to fight off a conn and 6 1st rates.

Guest raat Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 No one is engaging British players around English Harbour that are in Lynxes. Of those known to be in the area, their intention is to farm AI at the port. If British players enter the battle of their own volition, then of course I'm sure they are being sunk... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not lynxes, no one engages lynxes anyway lol. I'm talking about anyone in a ship bigger than a privateer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry White Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 well I guess it could be seen as a kind of, blockade....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest raat Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 well I guess it could be seen as a kind of, blockade....... well, that could be solved if there were more large AI fleets sailing the Open Seas instead of just parked in front of major ports... If you're looking for gold and XP, unfortunately the most reliable place to get it right now is in front of home ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry White Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 indeed it is, I do think that the fleets should not give any XP or reward at home ports, just for the fact that this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry White Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 And just to clarify, I don't blame anyone for doing this, we did it at fort royal, I just think it puts off newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry White Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Indeed, and if it was the SLRN you were attacking, I would understand, however these guys are innocent by standards to what you are punishing them for, I understand engaging them as valid targets, but if you want an engagement with the SLRN, come get us.

SteelSandwich Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I want to highlight some things: I often go to english harbor to fight the big AI fleets that are in front of the british capital, however, i NEVER fight players that arent in SOL's. (sometimes the ocasional constitution) When players, lynx's, join the battle, i dont engage them until they start to engage me. Not a single 'gank' has occured today in my pressence. Whilst fighting some AI in the aeria, some brits however, resorted to some unpopular tactics: As mentioned, we dont attack low ranked players, but several players attack us, dragging others in and we get shit for 'attacking brits'. As much as you might dislike our presence, we dont target your players, just your AI. Edited June 28, 2015 by SteelSandwich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver H. Perry Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I heard a number of times of small "fleets" of British Lynx engaging our large ships in recent days. If you're going to attack our forces, we have to respond, our Captain's can't and won't just sit there and get shot up. That said, not every American in those waters is necessarily TDA, just as not every British player in those waters is SLRN. It is a hot spot just now, however, sailing just a tad south gives you waters that are full of smaller French ships to prey upon. Please avoid attacking large American ships when you're not looking for a fight and it's pretty likely you'll be just fine - assuming they're TDA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry White Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I understand that you don't steel, I also know a few other dutch players that don't, but the people you asociate yourself with, well they do, going off the global chat, every time someone gets into a surprise they last 5 minutes before a speed modded conn appears and gunns them down.

Aviac64 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 The problem, Steel is that we don't know that you won't attack non-SOLs, leaving everyone in the port afraid to go out of it, feeling trapped. And also this is not fully true on the US as a whole, there are players who come to farm AI and will go off and attack a much smaller ship.

maturin Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Why are you guys even scared of SoLs? Unless they are accompanied by a frigate they won't be able to catch you anyhow, not unless it's a speed-modded Bellona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, we really weren't camping but I get that might not have been apparent especially to the newer players. Capitol bot fleet farming is the FOTM at the moment though so probably best for all the lower level players to move away from the capitols as soon as they can. That said, I suppose a brand new player is kind of tied there given it's their only outpost. So it is a bit of a conundrum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tac Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I can confirm the British blockade of fort royal was indeed frustrating for the French as one of the lower populated nations and did indeed put off some newbies,it also wasted good playing time unable to leave port while the Brits farmed to their hearts content. I suspect you can't have it both ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry White Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 We farmed for a day, and I was the sole instigator of the farming, we did not engage any french players unless we were engaged, all day 2 players had ago at me, one was trucky and the other JG other than that we had no problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I honestly think that anyone in a lynx should be left alone-unless you are in a lynx. I am guilty of bringing a navy brig in an all lynx battle the other day bc I thought the enemy was many more than it was. It was a little shameful (for me) and I quickly went to port and gathered up a lynx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomms123 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Well personaly I was in most these big battles and both in a lynx and a yacht. One for getting in battle and I know it will yeld me good XP and Gold to be in this battle and nail the big ships a bit. You sat out there for a fair bit but I just thought it were fun as it for me just helped me as I didnt have to hunt these pesky brigs which really dont yeld that much as these battles did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tac Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm glad you had no problems blockading Harry hopefully your countrymen will have the same feeling around English harbour, personally I spent a long time feeling unable to leave port in a 1 dura ship with so many Brits outside, it's a risky business don't ya know...

I think most of the dutch captains are familiar with that kind of behaviour arround oranjestad. Several times swedes have ravaged the new player base of the dutch. I also think that every dutch captain, that has grown under the guidance of the dutch antilies squadron, knows that they just have to give a shout and the cavalery will sail home. I am not denying that the behaviour itself is disgusting on a new level, but as the 'big guys' of your nation you have some responsibility as well. Are you not able to destroy the 'evil-demons' outside of port, take your guys to a remote aeria where they can level in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
