Archaos Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 13 hours ago, Sir Texas Sir said: We all know Pray button was the Global/PvP2 server Pirate hack button. That was at least what we keep telling the US and GB players since they always accused us of hacking. Well judging by the current actions of that pirate clan, I guess many of the accusations leveled against them were true, maybe not hacking but cheating by any means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikawa Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Well over night it came to me that this might be a kind of disguise item: for enemy players the ship is marked as AI but indeed is a player who tags in the next moment. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquês do Bonfim Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Loki Rune is definetly about deceit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrago Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 My theory for the Loki Rune is that it will allow at least a trade ship to disguise as another nation. Purpose: once someone has stolen one of those new raid chests, they'll either need a key or be able to get the chest into the raid originating harbor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pvp item - it probably wont work on the Peace server even for testing How does it work? Do I have to choose "use" to get it working?

Horatio Thorp Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I got the Loki Rune thing after fighting and NPC elite Essex, the icon for it is what looks a bit like a jesters head. I opened it in port and it instantly chucked me into a battle on a badly damaged French Trinco against a Pirate Victory which had just sunk a Frigate. It had no repairs on board and was just about floating, I ran out of range of the Victory then exited the battle thinking it might drop me somewhere random on the map but it just put me back in port where I was before. In my eyes all a bit pointless really..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl of Grey Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yeah, loki rune allows you Take control over a random AI fighting in a battle against player. This will spice PVE a bit ... not sure if Epic events and port raid battles are available for rune-users, but better prepare for angling and stern-raking Elite-Bots 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tail Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) and it works not only for OW fight but also for any missions (including hostility). Probably works for PBs etc. imagine some clan is capping Neutral port and you can prevent them to doing so by activating the rune and prevent them to cap the port 🤣 Quote exited the battle lol. that guy probably was super confused about such move from "NPC". BTW i guess it should be fixed a bit, since join battle as "NPC" when the ship has already too much damaged not fun 😕 Like NPC should has at least % of HP left. OR battle is last not more than Y minutes Edited October 23, 2019 by Red Tail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaba Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Seeing these inventions... I want hire a fireball-launcher wizard and two dragons... Next patch would be even idio.... I mean grater. Seriously, only can see some logic in this whole patch of the goal is get everybody leaving the game voluntarily.... So nobody complains when you shut down the server. If the goal is save money without claims from players, we'll done.... otherwise, only can explain it as a decision made during the worst hangover of your life... And we saw things like the fine woods, I mean, the bar was very high, it even seemed impossible to overcome it but... some wise man spoke long ago about the only two infinite things we know and here we have a fabulous example of one of them Edited October 23, 2019 by zaba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duration of both was 9 minutes. 1st one was in a relatively empty spot on the map and it showed me nothing for the whole time. 2nd one was near La Tortue and it put up big yellow swords on the map where battles were in progress. Additional info was the BR's in the battle but not the nationality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilsonMG Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Loki Runes... because consensual PvP apparently wasn't good enough, they're now turning our PvE battles into PvP without the consent of the player who sailed out to grind some PvE. Sure, let's fine tune it to make sure it favors the troll with nothing better to do than randomly drop into some poor bastard's battle! I feel like the title of the post-release development roadmap should be "New Ways to Keep Frustrating Our Players Until They All Quit". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furyGer Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I like the Loki Rune, thats a nice idea... Fun, but 90% no chance, but 10% you will kill one poor human player the day hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get absolutely nothing, no loot, no XP. Not sure if the kill counts towards PVP missions (either side), I heard conflicting info. The kill does show in the combat news chat.

Raekur Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The Loki runs is the materialization of granting a big boost to the pvp hungry players at the expense of others by allowing them to FORCE another player to doing pvp without warning by ambushing them. So add this to the list of catering to the pvp players at the expense of the pve, and traders. While the rune might be entertaining, I suspect it will get a lot of hate if it permits hostile players to enter battles that they otherwise would never be able to enter.

While the rune might be entertaining, I suspect it will get a lot of hate if it permits hostile players to enter battles that they otherwise would never be able to enter. We gave PVE server, port battles, investments, clan control and taxation and some pvp (through loki). We gave PVP server MORE pvp. Catering to players is how we make money. It is strange that you bring it up. We will continue catering to players. We have NOT forced ANYONE onto the War server. And will continue expanding PVP fun for everyone on War server. We are not forcing anyone to attack NPC ships. You pick the targets and their quantity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki looks like a great feature but I have yet to try it. Can you put some cracked red eye orbs in my account? I would farm them but I can't find the arena. 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
