Aster Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Could player made missions ever be a thing? so craft this ship and this is your reward. Haul these goods to here in this much time, (could be used for navigating events perhaps). Militia missions where maybe a max rank player or a clan needs to start it with a stated goal, grind hostility on such and such port, go to this patrol zone for this much time (patrol zones need to be fixed). If the stated goal is to get new players into clans where they should have a much easier time then I think the last mission could be very helpful to that. All of these events could be player funded and taxed furthering game economy and gold sink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk nChance Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kynF_6kRGMg @Aster Look at this Arma3 video. If GL could offer a NA-OW SDK package. I sucked at Arma3 but loved building complex missions... Norfolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 On 7/19/2018 at 6:05 PM, admin said: Missions will depend on port size and maybe taxes More on port dependency. Port type will determine which missions you will be able to take (this mostly concerns the old legacy kill missions (combat and fleet). Starting kill mission distribution Capitals 7th - 6th rate missions Complexity 1-3 stars (easiest) Town (not county capitals) 5 - 3rd rate missions Complexity 2-4 stars County Capital 4th - 1st rate missions Complexity 2-4 stars Free town 5th - 1st rate missions Complexity 4-5 stars (hardest) All shallow water ports will generate 7-6th rate missions of various complexity depending on port type (described above) Missions wont be available in enemy port only if they are set as free for all. Fleet missions Fleet missions have been merged with standard combat missions - enemy will send reinforcements according to the player group size. So any solo mission can turn into a fleet mission if you bring friends or your fleet. Rewards and distance Rank of mission distance modifiers have been removed - distance is not complexity and just a time waste. All levels of missions will spawn in similar distance from the port where you take the mission. Complexity will only depend on bot composition and their quality. Increasing complexity will increase rewards and will include various chests in addition to gold doubloons Safety All instanced missions will close when they start. PvP captains who previously hunted in missions will have to catch their targets on the way to and back. New mission system will make it harder to use missions to hide from pvp battles, as you will no longer have unlimited kill missions and the spawn locations will be more diverse. PvP Hunts Basic pvp hunt mission will be added (and will later transform into a complex operation) Mission will take active server pvp population and generate kill captains missions on nations active in PVP E.G. Sink 5 swedish, 5 russian, 5 prussian captains for extra rewards. Open world hunts Hunt mission - will require you to find and destroy a number of ships of a certain class in the open world Search and Destroy - will require you to find and destroy a number of a specific ships in the open world (for example 10x Cerberus). OW bot distributions To support the hunt missions bots will now be able to sail all ship types. In the future bots will be redistributed in the open world and every large region (e.g Hispaniola) will feature only specific ranks of ships. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Texas Sir Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) @admin looks good but I would make the mission ranges like 7th-5th rate 5th-3rd rate 5th-1st rate That way 5th rate ships which should be the norm can be done any where. Also either take off the rate restriction or allow one rate above the mission. This to help the casuals and well lazy folks. Just have the mission spawn in what the max level is. Hoping those chest will have chance at some paints Edited September 14, 2018 by Sir Texas Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowed ships can be taken back to port (imported cannot be taken to port, 4th-1st rates cannot be taken back to port on the pvp server) Imported ships (and uncapturable vessels) will be taken over by the admiralty on instance closing. (player will either be sent to port or assigned to one of his fleet ships) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teutonic Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Looks incredibly promising. With NPCs sailing all types of ships it should turn out to be interesting in capturing the vessels we can keep. Has there been a change to NPC ships in that they have varied trims now? All i see is 'wood type/crew space/refit" When I would like to see the crew space also be changed to wood types as well.
