    Global events 

    • PVE challenge. New lobby event focused exclusively on killing NPC ships. Players will have limited time to sink as many opponents as they can (on a pre-selected ship). Event will run weeky (or for several days) depending on the testing results. Top 10 players will be rewarded by ship redeemables, upgrades, rare materials and paint customizations. Ship which can be used in events will change every event. 
    • PVP challenge. Open world map events focused exclusively on sinking players. A special area will be designated for PVP events and will run 3 times per day for Far East, EU and US prime times for several hours. Kills (victories) will be counted for players fighting in that zone. Players who gain leaderboard positions in their respective time zones will be rewarded by ship redeemables, upgrades, rare materials and /or paint customizations. Proposed initial locations for pvp challenge: shallow - Bahamas sand bank above Cuba (2 free towns north and south), deep water - hispaniola channel (3 free towns north south and west).

    Now This is a good way to do Events, i like the way you guys made possible for everyone participate and have a chance to win. That's a good way to reward the people who play more and consecutvely contribute more, and another step in the right direction is that you guys are given redeemable ships, not redeemable BP. I still think rewarding ships is not a good idea and i dont liked, But everething else i see in the changes i do like very much! :D

  2. Why should every single person have automatic access to something that was earned with a lot of effort by a group of very dedicated and skilled players?

     

    I don't get that mindset. Like, at all.

    What is so bad about people getting rewards for doing something special?

    I Don't have any problem with people receiving anything especial. EXCEP SHIPS, and where did you see me talking anything about everyone automaticly having access to something?

  3. Time to get back on topic this is about the new ship construction method not events and tournaments.

    Please go back to page 1 and look at:

    Hello Сaptains!

     

    We will abandon the 5 color grades for upgrades and ships. Fine (blue), Mastercraft (purple), Common (green) are not used and thus are useless. Nobody makes them and nobody buys them. 

     

    As a result of testing the final ship quality and shipbuilding system will look like this.

    • Special - events, rewards, tournament vessels, or maybe extremely rare and hard to craft (months of effort required)
    Instead of quality (who would try to make a bad ship) players will select things they want they their ship to have sacrificing other elements if they want to improve one of the characteristics

    So talking about that is not off-topic! And Elite dangerous also have special tournaments, especial events even a ladder and give prizes for all that, BUT what they dont give are ships! There is NO excuses or explanation for giving people exclusive Ships in events and tournaments!

  4. Why I think people are upset about devs in general here.

     

    Players often draw a beautiful castle in their based on trailers, expectations and some pieces of information developers provide. That's is why most developers are vague because it helps them to pull more money out of you. We are not like that.. We dont care about the money http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/25/8846695/apple-confederate-flag-civil-warand dont care what others will think about us. We care only about the users and the truth.. 

     

    Some players find this contrast strange compared to nice talking smooth devs who only care about pushing extra dollars out of you. And that's why the majority of the negativity is actually focused on us. Maybe players only want sweet lies. But we will manage expectations because it helps to avoid disappointments in the future.

    I can undersatand you, and PLEASE dont get me wrong. I LOVE naval action, and it is because i love this game that i do CARE, i never was against anything that the devs trowed at us, i aways wecome every single decision until you decide to gave ships as prizes. and i will always be against that. So please don't think that my criticism is hate because is quite the oposite!

  5. I could not imagine talking to any of my bosses like that (as I have worked multiple jobs).  Why would you take such a disrespectful tone?  While tone is never conveyed through the internet, we apply tone over top as humans, in order to make more context of things.  Even as I type this, I have an "inner voice" I hear it written in, adding tone.

     

    This may be hard for you to hear, but the tone in your post is not a positive one.  In fact, it is decidedly negative.  When you come in with such a confrontational attitude, those who are willing to help become exponentially less willing to help.  If you want answers to questions - honest, well thought out, robust answers, you need to have an appropriate tone.  Otherwise, people will just tune you out.

    So first you assume and acuse Magnum to be a xenophopic, and now you imagine that i'm using a bad tone? Do you have a cristal ball?

    To the point now, please dont imagine or assume what is my tone, i have interact with other moderators and other players and i'm a pretty easy going guy, i gave the answer as i did because i wanted to hear the answer from people of the staff. I was not tryng to be a jerk or sound rude!

    remenber my primary language is no english so i speak in the way i was going to speak in Brazilian Portuguese.

  6. Tournament shown that it is impossible to do it often because it requires immense efforts from volunteers. As a result we will automate those efforts in code and add them as in game content. Everyone will be able to participate in them and receive potential prizes that increase the further you reach in the tourney.

    How players from PVE server will get the ships that are only available as tournament prizes? They will only get if they participate in the tounaments?

    Remember, one of the promisses of this game before going to Steam was that PVP was never going to enforced on players!

  7. It was widely covered on streams and in National news section.. Where have you been all this time?

    It was a true and PVP event the community wanted - PVP only, no randomness and clues. Just sheer skill and willpower.

    1- Sorry, where i was is not of anyone business.

    2- Because the entire comunity only plays PVP right? Especially in PvP 1

    3- So, there will be ships aquirable ONLY by tournaments?

  8. Erhm lulz? 

     

    Come on people. 

    You didn't complain when only the British and the US had L'Ocean BP? 

    You didn't complain about L'Ocean being OP when only your "alliance" had access to the ship. 

     

    But suddenly, when the enemy can make L'Ocean it is unfair and the ship is totally OP. 

    There was no regional bonus then!

    And if you wached babay stream you know that the Vicks and Santis had no chance against the Oceans with the hull bonus. Again, nothing agains the Danes, they are using and doing the best with the tools they have. But the buffed L'Ocean are way unbalanced!

  9. We bought the BP from the Swedes and started crafting like madmen. In a region with Strong Hull Bonus. With materials we gathered. that must seem very shocking to you...

    So what was given was a BP of a ship, and not the ship? WTF, now one entire aliance have acces to a ship that is proven to be OP with all the bonus...

    Nothing against you Kloothommel, you guys are using the tool in hand and deserve props to that.

    This entire system of Premium (Special, gift, reward) ships are a complete JOKE!

  10. Main post updated to answer some of the questions raised in the topic:

    •  
    • Regional bonuses will remain and NPC ships as well will have them too

      AWESOME

    • Regions and map will not change thus your repositioning to new areas will remain valid

      AWESOME

    • ETA for the changes is somewhere between end december - end january. We will first add land in port battles and some other previously promised things. Well done, port battles needs to change a bit.
    • Wood types will remain and will affect ships stats, what will change is how the ship general stats and upgrade slots and other elements are determined during crafting, giving more options to a crafter to build the ship just for him (or for his buyers)

      I love this, just think it should be a little less grindy

  11. I do agree that Events must be an equal opportunity for everyone. We do have all time zones here playing, we have people with full time jobs and people with limited free time. So, how can Devs make events comfortable for everyone? 

     

    Suggestion 

     

    Daily Solo Events and Daily Group Events

     

    Daily events are like unfulfilled missions. Players log in, pick up the letter that is Auto delivered to them. Inside they will find 2 Fleet Orders. One for solo Fleet and One for Group. They can discard them if they want. 

     

    -Solo Fleet Event is basically same as we have now, but with an interesting NPC inside the mission. Once you defeat the NPC it will drop few things:

     

    1) Event Currency (Account Bound)

    2) Treasure Map

    3) Fine Materials

     

    Once you complete a solo Daily Event it's Disabled for another 24 hours from time when it was picked up. 

     

    Group Event means you will have all your loot split with your group members who helped you finish the event. Same thing, but less rewards for you. Event is Automatically becomes harder based on group numbers. 

     

    Weekly Events 

     

    They spawn 4 times per day for a week and announced by Server Warning. Morning, Afternoon, Evening and After Midnight. Once completed you can't get rewards from events, but you can help your friends. Simply put, take 24 hour cycle and divide by 4. Weekly events are group events and require at least 6 guys. If players can't find a group other players can join their open battles as well as enemies. 

     

    Such events should be epic strong NPC fleets. 

     

    Rewards should include:

    -rare blueprints

    -ship paint

    -ship decorations

    -rare materials

    etc.. 

     

    Summary, Daily events are delivered my mail and optional. They get reset every 24 hours. Weekly events announced by devs 4 times a day and require group participation and work. Once completed you need to wait for a week before reset, but you can still help other people get their rewards by fighting in those events. 

    Thats even better!

  12. So i was having some discussions on other topic abou events and how the way that events has been done was unfair and didn't gave everyone a chance to get the prizes, i play World of Tanks and World of Warships, and what wargaming is doing for a good time now is giving some good premium ships and tanks in events, and the way that events are made over there are a good way to do it.
    First the events run for an entire month, and in that month you have some tasks to do, i world of warships is about damage, and in world of tanks is about kill.
    In Naval action could be about kills or damage, but if you do it in pvp you get a multiplier. Lets say, in one giving month the requirements to get a ship blueprint is geting 300k damage, inf you do it in pvp you get a multiplier of 3x so you need to do only 100k. Or something like that.. i think that is a good way to give everyone a chance to win and you could do not only with damage, you can do it with cargo, with kills, with treasure hunting.

  13.  At the end of the day, unless you had a life threatening emergency, it was a choice to do something offline instead of spending an hour or two in the game. You had the opportunity, but chose to spend your time on something else.

    OR someone could have a job that actually require to work on saturdays right? So that person shoud make a choice of play a game and MAYYYYYBE get a ship orgo to work!!! Yeah it is a tuff situation!

  14. Events available to everyone everyone can get the event ship (or just buy it). I am sure someone in your nation have one of the event vessels that you can buy.

    No, the events was not available to everyone, not everyone can play the game every day, not everyone can play the game all day...

    3maps ??? where? when? how can i acces it ?

    game shipped in 3stages . looks like the order is mixed up ;)

     

    The maps was for Sea Trials before the OW came along!

  15. You payed for an early access title. You paid for the privilege to help with development, with the understanding that things will change drastically during development, that wipes will happen, and with the understanding that some ships would be premium/event ships. From your final comment, it appears that this is not the kind of game you enjoy. So I ask, if you don't enjoy playing the game, why are you here?

    I Know exacly what i paid for... i play this game since the first weeks of Sea Trials back in  2014, and NEVER until de first round of events de Devs had mentioned anything about ships only for events and tournaments! So please.. dont tell me or other people what they did or did not payed for!

    That's so unthoughtful, EVERYONE shoud be able to craft every ship in the game (as long as people have enough craft experience and level) because everyone payed the same price for the game, with exepcion of the Yach, you are not a free to play game, so please, dont act like it. You guys are making a lot of bad decisions, in the last 2 patches the game population has been decreasing and you keep doing the same kind of mistakes! Wanna do events? OK, fine... give prizes like uncraftable mods like marines, and handbooks, NOT SHIPS!!!!

  17. The thing, which has been explained about 1000000 times now is that the problem lies within port battles ans skirmishes, we dont want one nation which is steam rolling in one place to go to another and steam roll there, or maybe have a nation which bypasses a blockade, this would be bad for the game.

    So do you wanna propose one mirror for each nation? Because there is no way to balance nation population. and Nation population is not the problem here, the problem is that people like me can't play the game!
