Will anyone play a faction other than pirates?

    Since I like the novelty idea and also the era I will surely try the game out. No idea if it catches me enough to stay, but it looks interesting.

    I will surely try a Spanish Officer, dedicated to hunt Pirates, hehe. Dont ask me why. English is a bit too common and I somehow cant connect French to seafaring. Spain sounds interesting, though I have no connection to Spain. Roleplaying a totally snobbish, arrogant spanish Aristocrate about to "bring order" sounds like a fun role. Guess I will have to fill my language with some semi-Spain idioms until then. ^^

    Gonna catch you all, Pirates!!

    The kicker is that pirates can steal almost any ship! The kicker though is, once you steal a ship your open to attack from anyone so you turn into Han Solo.



    Spain is where all the pvp'ers will go. It will be small and potent like a band of Navy S.E.A.L.S
    So if Spain r the so called " Navy Seals" who are the SAS or for a more navel feel SBS cause lets face it they are by all rights far superior

    Pirates cannot build the MOST powerful ships.

    it's unlikely that the game will be historically accurate, given we don't actually know what history was like, but rather were told it by people and books that very likely were lying.



    and it's also a game, which means there really isn't a need to follow what 'history' we know of...



    the problem to me seems to be that of the 4 factions, all seem the same except the pirate faction.



    countries all have to play by certain rules, and pirates play by pirate rules...



    that's really leaving you with 2 factions, even if it was an even split, pirates vs law abiders,  it'd still be 50% pirates, 15, 15, 20% rest, or something similar.



    in SWG, alot of people went imperial... well, imperials got badass storm trooper outfits, and ATST's ;)



    i'm sure alot of people will want to play as the iron fist in this one too...



    but again, you've got 3 law abiding and thus similar factions vs pirates, so there's going to be a fuck of a lot more pirates than probably all of the others combined, which will be odd since pirates were without a doubt, a minority.

  • Its gonna be interesting to see how well the balance turns out at release.  I'm gonna go with least popular faction.

    Lol, how mean. But seriously: only an American can say that. Being a German (thus neutral in that matter) and a neighbour of France I can assure you they are VERY proud of their nation, look quite down on anything english-speaking and would play nothing but French! In fact I expect 90% of France players BE French, hehe. (I mean, who else can acutally SPEAK that language,  nes pa? )

    lol funny that, last time i checked i was Scottish so i dont see where you got american from. Being an even closer neighbour than you i belive that they probalby are quite a proud nation, but lets be honest here they are far more military defeats than victorys when that nation 's involved (never heard of that google search lol, not sure how true it is mind you lol) but hey im not  posting  in this forum  to nation bash  just wanted to mke sure you know i sure aint american.

    I won't be going a pirate because I want to be able to build the more powerful ships. Spain seems good to me :)

Scotland is quite a beautiful country, visited it several times (the area around Moffat). Very friendly and great ppl , the Scottish. ^^

    I think an over average of Pirate captains came from Scotland and Wales. *wink*

    No probs lol. Yeah im thinking of pirates too. would like to go British if it is actually called British and not England, may sound like im being picky but its like calling a Canadian an American and vis versa im sure but id really like to try my hand at a bit of crafting and i feel that there may be an over load of pirates so.... still undecided. but i can belive that an over abundance of pirates came from Scotland, any excuse to sink an English ship lol.......

    Polls shows mostly everyone going England or Pirates. So maybe I will be the underdog and play 1 of the other 2 probablly Spain.
  • zakionzakion Member Posts: 50
    Altho pirates do sound fun i think the lack of crafting which what ive read sounds fantastic, takin the cool bits from SWG when that game was good and the fact that altho captureing ships is a highlight, the fact that its only got 1 poinbt left before it visits the fishies pushies me away from them, however depending on the server layout i may be pirates as if the servers are not regional based i may try revive my old guild that were pirate themed.
