Getting production going takes like at most 2 hours a day, most of the time you just wait for hours to build up. What am i suppose to do for 2 weeks?!? go out, play sports? NO! i want to play potbs.

May be make 1 pvp zone untill 22.? it could be that lonely dutch port

And Release new Players come in and see all Ports changed???

No way, its good that this is disabled, you can always make you pvp-flagged at the Port-Captain.

Make missions? Make more than 1 Char? They are many ways.

Ummm..., how about just reset the starting locations on official launch day? You know, just like how they are going to doing it at the end of every round in the live game.

nobody is going to flip anything in 1 week especially with such low population

I want some contention, I'm leveling and getting my Business set up still and I'm going to start getting unrest supllies ready for the 22 nd

I think if they turned on the contention on about the 17th 5 days won't ruin it for the 23 rd launch.

NO! i want to play potbs.You'd get more exercise from sports. Assuming you've already reached the level cap, get a good ship, turn on your PvP flag and sally forth. Don't care for PvP? Then go buy products where they are cheap and sell them where they are more expensive.

Turning on port contention is right out.

Look at it this way. At least with all the level 20s out there come the 22nd it should only take a few hours on the more populated servers to start getting ports into contention.

It would be nice of them to give us a pvp zone somewhere. Maybe the island with the super natural content so it doesn't really effect anyone.

I was thinking Grand Turk...which is no longer accessable...but Bermuda works too.

Grand Turk becomes accessible. Not important at this stage though. But wouldn't the zone from it cover Whitby?

I totally typed half it. I didn't want to understate how much I want pvp zones.

We don't need the money sinks yet. Lets all focus on getting the economy stabilized before we go off and stress it out.

Yes, we do.

I have completely stocked 3 different AH's in 3 different nations on my server with gun outfittings [small and medium], ammo, gun powders and a few select general outfittings.

Its incredibly hard to move product, even when your by far the lowest list price.

why?

Because of a level cap and hardly any sinking.

you can't, by definition, stabilize the economy when the one thing that causes the most flow, is turned off.

right not its got to the point where, 2 days in a row, there has been no reason for me to restock the AH because my items from earlier listing still haven't sold.


also people don't have to pvp if they can't afford it.

right now I'm level capped, in the best ship for my class/level, fully outfitted, tons of production stock, about 200k in stockpiled production materials in my warehouses, mulitple days of labor on my forges and weapon smiths.

No, I'm not going to level an alt, I've already leveled up 4 or 5 times during beta.

I want to get to the most fun part of the game, the pvp in pvp zones.

don't suggest turning my pvp flag on, since most of the time no one is willing to go for it, plus that doesn't fix the problem of lack of income from the items which aren't selling because there is very little loss going on.

In fact level capped pvp in contention zones is loads of fun, even plain old Bermuda sloops are useful in groups.

Remember, normally PVP in pvp zones is optional, atm its not.

and we still have a week to go =/


btw turning contention on does not instantly mean port battles have to be on, there can be pvp zones without being allowed to take the port.

The only thing pvp flag does now is make you a huge target for those 6 ship gank squads. They can simply reset the map on the 22.
