National only Combat News

[Bluetooth]

Could we have combat news that only shows your nation's victories and losses rather than an instant global combat news.

It would be more immersive and would protect hunting grounds from soft hunters who flock to an area of victories looking for easy kills.

After hours of sailing I found a nice little area of traders doing their business in peace.

I sank several over a couple of days and then the area was flooded with groups of hunters from all nation's ruining a nice balance and over killing my new ground.

If combat news only showed your own nation's combat, then this silly instant world broadcast would stop and more people would have to actually explore the OW to find their own hunting grounds, leading to more PVP encounters.

I would as far as only showing Combat News ( all nations kills ) for the region the captain is in as opposite to be Nation only.

The map is huge and it is hard to find players. Like Banished said there, it is a compass to help you find other players.

Are you sure they all came to the area because couple ships you sank?  Or did they have already outpost + ships nearby?

Buddy dragged them in, blinded them from the OW events, the rest of the gang teleports and still has time to sail and join the battle. Simple  

But yeah, it is a "hot zone" kind of mapping tool. I would remove player names though.

Please leave it as is, it is hard enough to find OW PvP.

Furthermore, it is the only info we get about how PB's are going generally.

The game is broken, one simply cannot gank in peace anymore.

I think this makes total sense. These gankers already know where to go to gank. I would like to see a little more information on combat news. On global more information would would make things pass by to quickly in chat but if it was just going to the Nations concerned it would last on screen longer.

Should be a map layer that you can activate.

Show active regions in colors.

Combat news is a vital part of the intel for traders to see if there is any possible hostiles in an area. I have diverted to a safe port on several occasions due to hearing of enemy activity close to my destination.
