admin Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Captains. Please pay attention to the important announcement regarding the pvp servers PVP EU will be renamed "Caribbean" PVP global will be closed down All assets from the PVP Global will be transferred to the redeemables tied to steam account including combat and crafting xp slot xp knowledge books learnt ships money and monetary costs of buildings and outposts and dockyard slots resources clan warehouses are under review - we will try to merge them too to the officer who logged in last Defence timers will come back: clans will set the 2-3 hour defense timer that will be used to set up port battles Defence timers will cost 100k per day, clans can choose to not setup the defence timers if they choose to do so. Next day port battles will be partially abandoned. Majority of port battles will start the same day from the hostility generation. If you raise hostility before the defense timer port battle will start during the defense timer (which sometimes mean immediately) you raise hostility at 2pm UTC defense timer is at 4-6pm UTC Port battle will start today at 4pm UTC if you raise hostility to 100 from 4 to 6 port battle will start immediately if you raise hostility after the defense timer port battle will start the next day during the defense timer you raise hostility at 8pm UTC defense timer is at 4-6pm UTC port battle will start at 4pm UTC the next day TLDR: One world - one pvp server.

If you don't think the devs randomly dropping a server merge on our heads is completely insane, and that the game could use more OW content then we'll never agree on anything. But I digress. Global was literally on its death bed and you pulled the plug devs. Good move, it was more frustrating than fulfilling. Now Global players can return to a completely different game, and all opinions and suggestions from here on can be based from the same server perspective.

You really don`t know what are you talking about.Players from other timezones can play on same server when Euros sleep? AWESOME CONTENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepp636 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I don't like that a pb can be set immediately. Attackers can do 4 hostility missions without anyone noticing before it's too late. With the BR on ports the defenders need the right ships there and an outpost ofcourse. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I would prefer a 4 hour time window. But I think these changes are needed and good. Seems good at a glance - going to discuss with folks. Currently I am partial to portions of the map having "timezones" instead, but I see nothing wrong with this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess those 100 from GLOBAL can ruin the game completely Nightflips are okay, battles are in the primetime. It wasnt really like you could have prevented a port flip anyway. Its only 4 missions, you could do with enough people at once. Solution sounds fair to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer if port battles were still only set 22 or 46 hours later to give everyone some time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christendom Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 THE NIGHT KING HAS JUST CROSSED THE WALL. @admin 4 hour windows please and no need to make it complicated. Keep the 22 hours (46 would be better) after PBs 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so if you want to take their port fight in their time, if that means waiting until the weekend, so be it.

admin Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 7 minutes ago, Intrepido said: Sad news. Incredible, the devs havent learnt anything. Well it looks it is time to look for another game. port battles are clan based - remember. As an owner of the port you will have full control on when you can defend and who can enter. Also don't forget that on release we had same system on all servers and it worked just fine. Night flips were a problem with alliances - with no alliances (clans based content - it is not going to be a major issue) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
