Nations with 2 many players

[Nocturnal626]

So i really like this game but the USvout numbers every nation by alot on pvp2 and its not fun anymore. If they see a solo player and have 3 they will fight. If its even they run. They in one single night took all the bahamas from the pirates we stood no chance. Will anything be done to address this issue or should i quit playing now?

play pve if you can't handling being griefed every now and then.

Reroll to the US and leech off of the cheap prices to regain your ships/money. It is faster progression than fighting them if you value getting into bigger ships faster.

Last I heard, a clan of +50 pirates swapped over to the US side. Maybe the devs will take a look if 2/3 of the server is the US faction (getting close to that already).

EVE us alone for gods sake. If you love that game so damned much, go play it. It's still online.

I think the issue is the historical factions, it seems logical on the US server many want to play US. Where on the European servers the mix of France, Spain, Dutch, English makes a better distribution.

I can not speak from experience tho, I have not tried the European servers so not sure of the exact balances there.

I love how you think that's somehow valid or adds anything to the discussion.

The other factions could always decide where their territory is going to be and then all turn on the USA and share their territory.

I would say the problem here is that a lot of people seem to recommend that the other factions should have to do something extra to fight the US, when the US has to do none of that. They dominate the US PVP server and its quite sad.

Realistically something has to be done otherwise US PVP servers will have mostly US faction players. Honestly the way I see it is to either script it so any faction with lower members recieves a proportionally higher XP and gold boost, or to limit each factions server pop to a limit. I.E if the server limit is 1200 limit each faction to 150 players on the server at the same time. This means joining a bloated faction like the US you wont get the choice to play when ever you like, encouraging diversity of factions.

I am most admirant of your blatant disregard of reality on PvP2 and ability to form a concise post more full of feces than a constipated rhinoceros.

Britain is not threatened at the moment by the US at all and for the moment distant. It's in their interest to quietly farm French/Spanish holdings around Cuba.

Spain has a lot of ground to defend from both the British and the US. They've tried to appease the US so as to not get completely reamed.

Pirates are fighting the (US) from completely taking over their starting zone. Or they are off in the South East spanking non-defended British and French/Dutch holdings in the fatalistic thought that the US is going to wipe out most of the map anyway.

Dutch, Sweden and French? Wouldn't even tip the scale against the cheeseburger behemoth and they may as well not exist.

The top three non-US factions combined wouldn't get the numbers of the US faction. Finally, ignoring the distance that prevents any cross faction defense, there is no game mechanic to allow cross-faction port battles.

Ergo the superpower can and will fully fist each of its smaller neighbors as it chooses.

The problem to begin with was that the starting positions are strategically balanced around a more distributed faction population than PvP 2 currently has. Some form of incremental/proportional population cap would have pre-empted the situation.

i find this whole thread hilarious.

1. resources being cheap - that is freakin laughable. people are selling fir for 500 per in our capital at times. we have more people meaning we have a higher demand in a fixed production market. meaning there isnt enough to go around.

2. most of the US doesnt even PVP. however, when the US does PVP they usually gather some forces to do it. they are organized. they have a plan.

3. eventually the US will spread itself too thin. you simply cant hold all those ports at one time considering the time it takes to get there and the numbers it takes to defend. the other nations need to coordinate with each other, not just within their own nations. if the US is such a threat, why are you fighting each other? consolidate and fight back. there are means to do so if such a desire existed.

4. eventually US players will get bored. too many wins and not enough losses gets old in time. i wouldnt be surprised if 1 of the 4 major US clans nation jumps or if some of the more PVP centric players unite and decide to fight the zerg.

Get orginised ... i ambushed a russian player on his own , i was on my own , he ran twice , then he came back with 8 of his friends in frigates , ambushed me i took out some sails and escpaed then i came back with a fleet of around 30 british frigates they ran with their tails between their legs while shouting in chat "RUSSIANS NEVER GIVE UP" while similtaniously running away so i dont get what they are on about .... either way talk to ur nation get orginised , people will help you , get clans together , work as ONE nation and you will do well , in PVP EU mirror the one im on most of the nations are well orginised and constantly taking ports from each other and having large open sea battles

Why was the american faction even included in this game? They were a non-factor during the time and certainly didn't meddle with european interests...

Trying to appease US carebears huh?

We actually only have around 150 people out of the last time I checked about 600 people online.

You guys say get organized but we have every pirate that is not a coward with us. Two or three pirate clans refuse to fight and would rather run as far as they can from the US and pick on the little guy. I do not want to pick pn the little guy i want to defend the area around home port. Also in hostory nassau was pirate capital so we must own it! I call out the coward clans regularly but they are children and immature and only play games to not loose. They are afraid of loosong durability =( there is nothing we can do but fight and sink against the US while being taunted by immature kids screaming MURICA and freedom.

I don't, but your obsession with that game borders on insanity.
