Important: Server status announcement

[admin]

Captains. Please pay attention to the important announcement regarding the pvp servers

PVP EU will be renamed "Caribbean"

• PVP global will be closed down 
• All assets from the PVP Global will be transferred to the redeemables tied to steam account including
  • combat and crafting xp
  • slot xp
  • knowledge books learnt
  • ships
  • money and monetary costs of buildings and outposts and dockyard slots
  • resources
  • clan warehouses are under review - we will try to merge them too to the officer who logged in last
• Defence timers will come back: clans will set the 2-3 hour defense timer that will be used to set up port battles
• Defence timers will cost 100k per day, clans can choose to not setup the defence timers if they choose to do so.
• Next day port battles will be partially abandoned. Majority of port battles will start the same day from the hostility generation.
  • If you raise hostility before the defense timer port battle will start during the defense timer (which sometimes mean immediately)
    • you raise hostility at 2pm UTC 
    • defense timer is at 4-6pm UTC
    • Port battle will start today at 4pm UTC
      • if you raise hostility to 100 from 4 to 6 port battle will start immediately
  • if you raise hostility after the defense timer port battle will start the next day during the defense timer
    • you raise hostility at 8pm UTC
    • defense timer is at 4-6pm UTC
    • port battle will start at 4pm UTC the next day

TLDR: One world - one pvp server. 

Discuss.

HOLY F*** DEVS YOU ABSOLUTE MADMEN! 

We wanted big change and you brought it, will this make the game better? Certainly, but we still need big OW changes.

If you don't think the devs randomly dropping a server merge on our heads is completely insane, and that the game could use more OW content then we'll never agree on anything. But I digress.

Global was literally on its death bed and you pulled the plug devs. Good move, it was more frustrating than fulfilling. Now Global players can return to a completely different game, and all opinions and suggestions from here on can be based from the same server perspective.

What different game? You really don`t know what are you talking about.Players from other timezones can play on same server when Euros sleep? AWESOME CONTENT.

I don't like that a pb can be set immediately. 

Attackers can do 4 hostility missions without anyone noticing before it's too late. 

With the BR on ports the defenders need the right ships there and an outpost ofcourse. 

[Teutonic]

I would prefer a 4 hour time window. But I think these changes are needed and good.

Seems good at a glance - going to discuss with folks.

Currently I am partial to portions of the map having "timezones" instead, but I see nothing wrong with this.

 All smiles here @admin. Welcome back to the real PvP sandbox my European friends!

All hail to nightflips.

I guess those 100 from GLOBAL can ruin the game completely 

 

[seanjo]

Am I going to have to move my ships from non protected ports?

You set your time window, there is no nightflip then.

Nightflips are okay, battles are in the primetime. It wasnt really like you could have prevented a port flip anyway. Its only 4 missions, you could do with enough people at once. Solution sounds fair to everyone.

Agreed on this. I would prefer if port battles were still only set 22 or 46 hours later to give everyone some time.

Works for US and Australians too. Good luck taking THEIR ports.

THE NIGHT KING HAS JUST CROSSED THE WALL.

 

@admin 4 hour windows please and no need to make it complicated. Keep the 22 hours (46 would be better) after PBs

And again - you set the time window on your port, so in fact there are no nightflips if you don't want them.

Yeah, so if you want to take their port fight in their time, if that means waiting until the weekend, so be it.

And again, when US and Australians set an opposite time to Euros, there is no fight again.

@Christendom you win...

Sad news.

Incredible, the devs havent learnt anything. Well it looks it is time to look for another game.

port battles are clan based - remember. 
As an owner of the port you will have full control on when you can defend and who can enter. 
Also don't forget that on release we had same system on all servers and it worked just fine. Night flips were a problem with alliances - with no alliances (clans based content - it is not going to be a major issue)
