[Development plans for conquest mechanics (RVR)]

 

Potential proposals for discussions. 

 

Capitals could become capturable. 

If nation have lost all the ports the last county (with capital) will open for capture. Losing the capital will force an alliance with the conquering nation.

 

Total victory should become possible (with the map reset afterwards)

If capitals become capturable this can lead to clear win conditions and map resets (seasons) with rewards for map victory. Current design is more real life with flowing changes of power (like in Eve), but maybe Battle Royale design is better. 

 

I see problems with this.  Players develop an 'affinity' to their nation of choice.  Smaller nations will, probably, never have the manpower to "win" the game outright. 

 

Frustration may lead to either players just leaving the game ... bad ... or jumping to a larger nation far a chance to be on a "winning" side, making the situation even worse for the smaller nations.

 

I love this game and the PVP, but am not into the scenario you have just announced.

[Time to ban those players using Lag Switch in Battles]

Yah I think it's funny he tells me to take a chill pill and he's the one snapping at me.  Oh and speaking of the topic the other night when we went from Walker Cay to West End I got hit by a lag spike where I was going 0 knts and than skipped a head a bit on the OW.  It's prob lost of packets lag spikes not some one hacking the game.    Lag switches are mainly used on hosted games to cheat by the person that is hosting the game.  Not to mention it's a very old thing used a good while ago and most games are created with defenses against them.  Again that is cause most of the folks that use them are on hosted games they host themselves to cheat and rule the game.  Mainly older FPS.

 

I guess we don't have the same definition for "snapping".  All I saw BadPenny do was say chill out and then explain that players that have questions about gameplay should have an opportunity to do so.  You, complaining about being snapped at, were the first person to start name-calling and acting (hopefully) younger than your actual age.
