Quineloe Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Today when DKN assaulted Aves, Babay the flag carrier was pulled into battle outside the port. He managed to leave the battle, and literally seconds later the message that conquest had started was displayed. It was nowhere near the two minutes it takes to plant a flag, it was seconds. Is this a bug, intended or what happened here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quineloe Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Not really asking for advice, just wondering what the mechanic behind this is. Maybe it's related to the teleport bug? Edited April 24, 2016 by Quineloe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If the timer planting the flag is already couting down nothing will interrupt it. Flag carrier already dropped it. It is just another 120 seconds to wait, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 There was a bug that when you started the flag timer, got dragged into battle, the timer still ran down and the PB opens the instant the flag carrier can leave the battle. Maybe that's what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tac Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Indeed if memory serves if you plant and then get dragged into battle timer runs so you leave battle and "hey presto" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twig Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I can confirm, from a not included side of the occurent, that this happened. A few swedish players (inculding me) came to see the spectacle and noticed the incident. (Looked nice btw.)We also wondered what was going on.

balticsailor Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 One thing i noticed, while being on the danish side is, that we got pull into a battle by a relativ small frigate fleet also we had more then 30 3rd around the flag carrier and your battle rating was so much higher in that battle that we could leave again straigth away.

Ned Loe Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 As devs already mentioned, new Conquest system is in works and will be out soon. Hold on tight. Expect port wipe during patch deployment. I heard, New 3 circle port capture will be introduced. Battlefield style. Devs will post details when it's ready. Devs: Port conquest will be slowed down, assault flags most likely are going to be abandoned. captains should be advised that ports are getting reset when that feature comes out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just a "port wipe" - should we make sure we keep all our assets in freetowns in case it is implemented on short notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
