Lt Sekiro Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Nice event! Maybe in the future more of this kind of event , and/or maybe some pvp tournaments Edit: The capturable ship will have port bonus?

Montagnes Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 This kind of events are very positive. Almost every mmo or online game has special events to give something different to his playerbase. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several Diana patrols (with some other rare ships) will cruise around a central location on the map. Ships will be capturable + will sometimes drop additional notes for the ship. Some changes will be also deployed on permits (finally). We will add full patch notes to this topic tomorrow. will it be possible in the future to maybe add treasure fleets? say you find a treasure fleet sailing from Havana to Panama, the it says 10 medium ships (indiaman) and 15 large ships (elite lineship escorts). Could be same even as these, maybe escorted by rare ships and happen at random times and maybe once every week to make it unique Edited March 5, 2020 by erelkivtuadrater 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathal Brugha Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 How about having the patrols all over the map so people on more out of the way places get to enjoy, rather than spend all the time just sailing to the location. It would also help to spread out the action a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenfish Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 A date with...would suggest it would happen again. The date with... would suggest more a one off event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "fleet destroyed" event is kinda failure as only the closest and fastest players enjoy it. A event that lasts 15-30 mins at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A event that lasts 15-30 mins at best. yeah the fleet destroyed is farmed by the closest ones since you go in a 15kn indiaman. But i dont think a frequent respawn timer would be good though, to keep it from being farmed. It should rather be a fleet you find randomly and you would want your friends to come out and help attack it before others can spot it. It would perfectly replace the epic events as we have today. The loot from epic events vs combat missions are terrible so they are not sought after. I remember when they just launched the epic events people would fight over them because those instances were the only ones that would drop special loot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think there are too many Redoutables now, take an Essex, sail and kill someone. Other people do it too crybaby.

Baptiste Gallouédec Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I think the idea is more about frigates having lost most of their purpose outside shallow patrols when Redoutables&+ are everywhere & gank groups in snow are better as cheap disposable do it all ship. So making such beautifull but "meh" frigates so rare is difficult to understand. They will mostly end taking dust as dock queens. Ok for the event, but give us admiralty notes/ permits too !

MaverickESP Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thx devs for this event. Sounds good! But devs, you have bring a functional and practicable diplomatic - alliance System ( in my opinion between Clans (of all nations) not with Nations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dlc the next strongest ship in the class, its bound to happen That happens when community votes for late launch date ships / best of their class. You end up with ships that outperform the early ones. Implacable is better but hidden behind a rare permit keeping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathal Brugha Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Also, it would be nice if the event lasted at least a week. Some of us work on the weekends and don't necessarily have time to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just have to send a char out hunting. @admin make sure they respond through out the day so all folks get a chance at them. I’m still working crappy hours but want to try this event. Also don’t have all in big fleets so folks can solo some of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
