New guys need that flavor from the start. Give them some basic Chest drop with basic ship deeds and colors to get them going. Many have 0 idea what is out there... Also, can you show NPC flag when clicking on them? Every ship sailed under some flag that NA does not have.

admin Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Main post updated Additional changes to Raiders Port Battles will be applied this week 1) Raider Port battles on Peace server will now happen daily and NPC raiders will only attack ports owned by NPCs to allow more port control for players (current speed is not enough), this will be done until NPCs will lose control of all ports. After this happened NPC raids will continue at old speed (9 ports per weekend). 2) Raider port battles on War server will no longer happen - we are taking them down for rework or abandonment. They have not achieved what was expected from them and only annoyed the players. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An outcome which was anticipated by some players. If you really look for a more balanced, thus healthier and prosper, server we have already given you the answer, a thousand times.

Vizzini Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 i'd have liked to have seen ( pvp server) the raider port battles attacking the ports that nobody goes to / take the least money. That way , they could have been used as training for nations if they wished or open up ports for others to use. Just my thoughts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that daily attacks are an addition to what we already have (weekly attacks), and only these daily attacks will not attack players' port. I hope that the raiders' attacks on the players' port remain on the weekends. I'm right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Raider Port battles on Peace server will now happen daily and NPC raiders will only attack ports owned by NPCs to allow more port control for players" and after when all NPC ports will be in players hands we will back to 9 rides per weekend - that what i understand.

Or there needs to be some kind of bonus with joining a low pop nation, be it admirality gift and free forged papers or something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z4ys Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) @admin why not make "wooden chest" a rare trading mission reward too? That will be given after delivering and has to be sailed to "friendly port" in order to open it?

Holm Hansen Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) a suggestion for the PVE server: Make seasoned wood for combat medals available in the admirality store, expensive but available. In example 10 or 20 logs for 1 combat medal. On this way, there would be no farm threshold and everybody can work with the same activity what do here anyway, slowly, but with progress, towards the s-wood. Also, nobody will forced to sail ship-classes, which he may not like. (which might otherwise be necessary for privateer fleets) And finally, it would also reduce the surplus of combat medals, so that these will be more attractive again, ... never mind how much someone own of them.

If you than add an exchange reales to dubs, you got the economy 90% fixed. Guild Wars eg had a bot exchanging currencies. Bot would adjust exchange rate to supply/demand. This would also take care of the different difficulty of generating income in a certain currency per server. Example: trade for reales is riskfree on PvE, result: reales are worth nothing on PvE. Thus the exchange rate reales to dubs would be higher by auto adjusting to supply/demand. Historically reales were silver coins, doublons were gold coins.....and they could be exchanged.

Where Reals are simply generated from nothing. Unfortunately, the imbalance in the Reals is already too great for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
