Flag on Aves planted within seconds

[Quineloe]

Today when DKN assaulted Aves, Babay the flag carrier was pulled into battle outside the port. He managed to leave the battle, and literally seconds later the message that conquest had started was displayed.

It was nowhere near the two minutes it takes to plant a flag, it was seconds.

 

Is this a bug, intended or what happened here?

[Quineloe]

Not really asking for advice, just wondering what the mechanic behind this is.

Maybe it's related to the teleport bug?

If the timer planting the flag is already couting down nothing will interrupt it. Flag carrier already dropped it. It is just another 120 seconds to wait, nothing else.

There was a bug that when you started the flag timer, got dragged into battle, the timer still ran down and the PB opens the instant the flag carrier can leave the battle.

Maybe that's what happened?

Indeed if memory serves if you plant and then get dragged into battle timer runs so you leave battle and "hey presto" .

Sounds exactly like the teleport bug then

So if you get tagged - plant it.

 

Good got it

I can confirm, from a not included side of the occurent, that this happened. A few swedish players (inculding me) came to see the spectacle and noticed the incident. (Looked nice btw.)

We also wondered what was going on.

One thing i noticed, while being on the danish side is, that we got pull into a battle by a relativ small frigate fleet also we had more then 30 3rd around the flag carrier and your battle rating was so much higher in that battle that we could leave again straigth away.

As devs already mentioned, new Conquest system is in works and will be out soon. Hold on tight. Expect port wipe during patch deployment. 

 

 I heard, New 3 circle port capture will be introduced. Battlefield style. Devs will post details when it's ready. 

 

Devs:

 

Port conquest will be slowed down, assault flags most likely are going to be abandoned. 

captains should be advised that ports are getting reset when that feature comes out.

Wind, do you know when it might happen? I dont want a date, but maybe the month?

Of course just if you are able to tell us

If it's just a "port wipe" - should we make sure we keep all our assets in freetowns in case it is implemented on short notice?

It will probably get locked until retaken. Not sure.
