Duel week?


Recommended Posts

Next content patch (september) we will move to the new regions system. There will be a reset in port ownership and many other changes will be added (potentially with trading too). Only ports will be reset that patch. Crafting and buildings reset might come later in october (due to changes in trading and resource distribution). We will post a separate detailed announcement on it shortly. 

 

This means that current port conquest is becoming even more meaningless. To bring more fun to the OW and remove the potential fear from ganks to bring more players to pvp zones we would like to propose to run several interesting and potentially exciting tests starting with Duel week. 

 

Duel week wacky patch.

All battles on the OW are 1v1. Whoever you attack, who ever attack you. Battle locks on start (except for capital waters), nobody is pulled and you have your 1v1. (missions and port battles are excluded from this rule). 

 

Alternative 3v3

Not sure I like the 1 v 1 idea. It might force most people to sail around in Rattlesnakes and either run from the fight or stern-camp ad nauseam while the other party wastes an hour and a half watching their crew numbers go down. On the other hand, we might have a lot of Rattle duels... How would that affect people tagging ships that are sailing in the fleet to port battles?

any frigate can sink a rattle if you time your tacks well. 

Will you tell us in your detailed announcment what will happen to outposts?

Since PBs will be, as you say, even more pointless - I fear that screwing with the OW PvP setup will just make loads of people (including myself) take a break til ports are back.

 

Edit - Hope the port reset will be as speedy as possible, things were finally kicking into gear after the holidays + alliance patch...

Both extremes of the RoE in less than a month, sure why not ! Let's test it.

 

Any major changes on Free Ports !? Asking this because of my affiliation with free ports and if there's a need to anticipate some movements.

Just...Chuck in lossless Trafalgar battles with nation-defined sides so that people can do 25v25 SOL battles or something while waiting for the patch.
