still an os joining bug

[ulysses grant]

1. there still is an os joining bug in the red...
2. why the f.... can u leave the fight when u get boarded in an exit zone
3. why the f.... can it be that when i sit in the os in a city zone (which i can see under the minimap) and attack a fleet which is not in the port zone (i cant see that right????) i get no f....ing points? am i clairvoyant or what? it should be the zone where the player who tags is in!!!! ffs
4. if there are 8 or 12 packs spawning in a contention zone why the f.... do you let em dock immediately????? does that make sense????

the list goes on and on but that let's me rage most atm

1. I haven't had any problems since the patch, are you sure you didn't have prep ship still on?
2. If you're in an exit zone, why not click out before you're boarded?
3. You have make sure the name of the port is on the banner below the minimap or it doesn't count. If it says "open sea" or a different port, you won't points.

1. yes!!!! of course we checked!!!! and even then you could join after your ship is prepped if its within the 30 secs....

2. you misunderstand this: I (!!!!) boarded one and he could still click out. IMO when you're that dumb and get grappled in an exit zone you should pay for it -.-

3. oh no really???? you don't think we checked this!!! jesus f...ing christ why haven't I thought about that... no for real, you're misunderstanding the point here again: WE stood in the port zone and attacked a fleet that wasn't (THAT you can't see) and we didt got points for it ...that's why i said: let it be the zone where i sit in...

1. I wasn't trying to be insulting, but most problems people have joining battles in the red have to do with prep ship. I've played around with the mechanics and the old bug was gone for me, but maybe you found a new one.
2. We are in complete agreement. If you get boarded you should be in a separate combat instance that doesn't allow you to leave until one of the victory/defeat conditions of boarding is satisfied.
3. This happened to me earlier today. I think the location of the battle is the average of location of the two OS positions, so even if you're in the proper area, if the target isn't, the battle may not be in the correct zone for you to get points. It seems like the mechanic is working just as intended, so I don't think you'll see a fix for this. I think the best answer is to look at your contention before/after sinking the first ship, and if it doesn't go up, just run away.

P.S.: Sounds like you had a rough day, I hope things go better for you.
