Duel week?

[admin]

Next content patch (september) we will move to the new regions system. There will be a reset in port ownership and many other changes will be added (potentially with trading too). Only ports will be reset that patch. Crafting and buildings reset might come later in october (due to changes in trading and resource distribution). We will post a separate detailed announcement on it shortly. 

 

This means that current port conquest is becoming even more meaningless. To bring more fun to the OW and remove the potential fear from ganks to bring more players to pvp zones we would like to propose to run several interesting and potentially exciting tests starting with Duel week. 

 

Duel week wacky patch.

All battles on the OW are 1v1. Whoever you attack, who ever attack you. Battle locks on start (except for capital waters), nobody is pulled and you have your 1v1. (missions and port battles are excluded from this rule). 

 

Alternative 3v3

Not sure I like the 1 v 1 idea. It might force most people to sail around in Rattlesnakes and either run from the fight or stern-camp ad nauseam while the other party wastes an hour and a half watching their crew numbers go down. On the other hand, we might have a lot of Rattle duels... How would that affect people tagging ships that are sailing in the fleet to port battles?

Will you tell us in your detailed announcment what will happen to outposts?

any frigate can sink a rattle if you time your tacks well.

outposts will be there

[Batman]

So we don't loose outposts, ok.

[TommyShelby]

Duel week? 

Please no... 

 

I play this games with friends and not being able to sail around together would ruin alot of the fun imo. 

 

The 3v3 Alternative sounds better but i still don't like it. 

 

In general i don't think there should be any restrictions..

[Konali89]

I am not your typicall 1v1 guy but for a week i could become that guy:P Although i do love to sail together with friends but who doesnt love a wacky patch:)

[SteelSandwich]

Make paintschemes a a 0,01% drop in PvP battles, disable port battles and watch the world kill eachother (no need for 1v1 restrictions and such)

[Guest]

Since PBs will be, as you say, even more pointless - I fear that screwing with the OW PvP setup will just make loads of people (including myself) take a break til ports are back.

 

Edit - Hope the port reset will be as speedy as possible, things were finally kicking into gear after the holidays + alliance patch...

Both extremes of the RoE in less than a month, sure why not ! Let's test it.

 

Any major changes on Free Ports !? Asking this because of my affiliation with free ports and if there's a need to anticipate some movements.

[Jeheil]

Can we have a Port Map so we can move our outposts...and at least a weeks notice....and info if we put outposts in "to be OUR PORTS" do we get to keep our stuff ?

[ulysse77]

well might be interesting for a while.... i`d love a good frigate duel...

[Fellvred]

Sounds good, might be worth disabling fleets for that week as well

[Cmdr RideZ]

What is the purpose for this duel week?

 

What are we testing?

[Mr. Doran]

Simple arithmetic my friends, Sociable - Duel week = Two minute timers. We are simply trying to get back where we started!

Regarding the RoE we are testing Two things IMO. And Both are in the same battle.

[Anne Wildcat]

Got to get to work on creating my dueling ship. Most of my ships are for groups and would sink very quickly in a duel.

What are those two things?

[Guest]

Just...Chuck in lossless Trafalgar battles with nation-defined sides so that people can do 25v25 SOL battles or something while waiting for the patch.

[Sureshot]

I would like to try 5v5 or 6v6, I think 1v1 and 3v3 is a little to much and you wouldn't really be able to play with your clan or freinds. 

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

What are those two things?

 

2 Ships of whatever model and class, rigged, perked, equipped.

[Taranis]

Would the social perk override the 1v1 restriction?
