admin Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Group XP ? group xp = increased assist xp + increased pvp rewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathers Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Wasn't it announced to have a new system wherein players would get XP upon completing someone else's admiralty order? So, there isn't actually going to be group XP, since "increased assist xp + increased pvp rewards" is not "=group xp" but instead is "=xp for everyone that joins your battle". Can we get some clarification there, please? Great patch anyway, looking forward to playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magee Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looks good, how about tweaking the fir production a bit in the next update that's one of the biggest roadblocks in ship production right now in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except only those in your group can actually get into missions now so technically it is a group XP buff. "Missions can only be joined by your group members and enemies of your nation." No randomers to get in and steal damage/crew kill/ship kill experience combined with the boost to assist is most definitely a group boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will continue to update Rules of engagements going forward affecting timers, reinforcements and battle pull. A heartfelt thankyou. Except only those in your group can actually get into missions now so technically it is a group XP buff. "Missions can only be joined by your group members and enemies of your nation." No randomers to get in and steal damage/crew kill/ship kill experience combined with the boost to assist is most definitely a group boost. They also boosted xp for assists so everyone in a group should notice the difference unless they are stupidly overpowered compared to the target..

TrollCraft Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Iron ore now produces 2x more ingots (100% increase) I'm actually liked the iron shortage as it added a new dimension to the game. It gave some people (like me) a reason to want to become traders. As a whole I feel like this is just a PvE and PvP game, and that is OK, but it can feel a little repetitive. With the iron shortage it drove the need for port battles, for exploration, and for traders. Going forward I think it would be great to have unannounced and random shortages rolled into the game. Anyway, with the return of iron I'll probably get back to leveling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
