Ship tow request

[Tomasso il Fortunato]

As we know we have the possibility to tow a ship from a port to another. Like was in the past , you could tow a ship and wait 5 hours to tow it again . 

- I am suggesting to put that system back .

- Put back the tow request in OW without alt the teleportations.

Why?

One of the most magical, gamier mechanics we’ve had.  Please don’t put it back.

At least the tow request from port to another port.

You can tow from port to port now. It hasn't been removed. You don't even have to wait 5 hours. Instant tow. One Tow permit per day.

I like 5 hours over 24 hours but that's just me. I'd rather have ships where they need to be in order to PvP.

Sailing the OW you might have PvP whether you don't want it or the other way around. Sometimes a lot, sometimes very little.

Sure way to get PvP are the Patrol Zones AND Conquest.

 

but back on topic,

 

Tow to Port was always intended as a "get unstuck from geometry" option, so to overcome a error and not a final mechanic ( was extensively used in testing and manifestely used in other ways by players ). It is still in game for those rare occasions where a player gets sorrowfully stuck in shallows - you can test it yourself, find a position where your ship has shallows all around and the button will show.

Ship Tow is a good measure of comfort that allows 1 ship to be placed in whatever outpost you want immediately ( like putting a playing piece in a board ). The limit of one per day is a balancer, not a setback.

To illustrate. See the button is available ( left most in the bottom row ) when totally surrounded by shallows. Gladly the deepest water port was not far away so i got unstuck.
