(if you know exactly what you are doing). the teleport to port battle was being discussed since early 2016. The constant greifing and abuse of the game rules (keeping players in battles for 45 mins during screening), has flipped the balance. Its done and being tested internally for deployment within 1-2 weeks. Good riddance Say thanks to griefers and maybe next time you can foretell this and tell your allies or clan members to stop abusing mechanics kicking them from clans or alliance if you think they are doing a wrong thing. Just like you say - it was foretold. I am foretelling another thing If the level of abuse and toxicity in chat does not start falling starting now - all communication with enemies will be removed like in WOW.. people will say KEK and lkjsdfljwoeijow .. and that's all you will read from enemies. Hope this foretold warning will allow you as a community member to push more friendliness from allies. 9

Cheap ships and dlc ships make game more fun but create one dilemma You are not encourage to sacrifice yousefl during hostility (because if you lose ships it will give more points to enemy) = good design You are not encouraged to sacrifice yourself during port battle (because if you lose ships it will give more points to enemy) = good design But you are encouraged to sacrifice yourself during screening (because there are no mo points to enemy but less enemy ships in port battle). Losing ships actually benefits the screener with no penalty. Because in reality in historical pattern you would not have a parallel world and if you just sacrificed 20 npc victories you would get trashed anyway. This is what PB transport (teleport) achieves. You cant sacrifice ships any more. You must sink them during hostility and must not sink yourself (because it will then create port battle faster) As a result its bad design. Screening when ships and crews are cheap or free is bad design. Because ships are cheap and we dont want to remove them - we remove screening. Effects will be immediate. Skill will win numbers. Players who want content will have to change nation or attack another port. Good Change Lowest Nation will have more chance to make pb , and will turn more to clan pb than Nation pb. Skill will count more, and more pb can be make at the same time. Gj dev

Port investments improvements Players will be able to invest into increase in port points, drastically changing the flexibility of port control bringing it into the alliance hands Major. Transport to port battles item We are no longer satisfied with griefing during screening, and are axing the screening completely. Clans will be able to transport their port battle fleet directly to port battle area using an item item will work both for attacker and defenders Hostility will be slowed down and unified for all ports in points Improvements to anti-farming mechanics (partially already deployed) Major. New player starting mission to show case the game (not the port UI). Major. Cheaper edition launch (could happen a week later due to valve approval) All current edition owners will receive a free DLC ship New price will be set at much lower levels DLC will be then set for sale for new buyers. This is going to be basically a 40-50 dollar gift for current version buyers New rare trees only usable in shipbuilding (but not available in ships from the admiralty) NPC raider routes in patrol zones (both PVE and PVP servers) Light ship protectors for capitals. Naval Bases (tentative). Map control points generating area home defense fleets for the owners. not all ports - we will use historical large bases for this feature. Stay safe and healthy everyone. Drink water, vitamin C and give lots of love to your families and parents. Do you have already the stats of the wood @adminto know what they will do? Edited April 10, 2020 by Lt Sekiro 1
Mouth of Sauron Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, admin said: OF COURSE - we have you covered mate The item - teleport to PB is not mandatory. If you LOVE screening you can of course sail to port battle yourself and fight with screeners . Those who dont like the screening will just teleport there and will finally get good PB content. Win win for everyone. (Except griefers) Have you considered making this item costly or limit the amount a nation can use or be used against during certain day/time period? I guess also in that same vein, limit the amount of port battles vs a nation again back to 3. What I’m trying to say is the days of multi flips need to stop regardless of side. Your solution has merit, but I can see a large nation like Russia Zerg it out and gain access into 5 port battles of a smaller nation and essentially cripple it in a matter of hours. Screening by other nations was a counter of sorts to that. Edited April 10, 2020 by Mouth of Sauron 4
Botq Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Will you give some big limits to low cost edition like not being able to put up buy/sell contracts or not being able to make buildings ? The game already suffer from the mass of alts and this could cause even more troubles 2
Carl_infar Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Removing of screening will only benefit strong nations and what will matter most will be only monster ships with best upgrades and to much smaller extent :skill... The weaker side alwyas could screen the fleet out now they will have no chance its very sad 2

You can't force players do what you expect them to do - there always will be griefing and toxicity in chat and people will always try to find advantage at all costs (just as in real life, as they are real people). But instead of writing clear game rules and creating internal mechanic of policing the game by players themselves, you just cutting out potentially griefing content from it. And it is more and more looking like curing headache with guillotine. P.S. People won't hear you - most will, but there always will be toxic people 3
Erik Eriksen Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Many bought the Redou for screening in a game that has launched and is no longer in EA, and now such a dramatic change take place, its a bit weird I have to say. With all the bonuses this game has to offer the hardcore players will win every PB, adn the casuals have no meaningful way to particpate in RvR Edited April 10, 2020 by Erik Eriksen 13

That a clan can now make all their ports 55 point ports? And also, if you are trying to prevent toxicity in chats, instead of removing the chat function entirely and turning it into Rocket League with ships, maybe appoint some more moderators? I havent seen a green name in months. Edited April 10, 2020 by ScipioTortuga 1

Capitalism Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 4 hours ago, admin said: Stay safe and healthy everyone. Drink water, vitamin C and give lots of love to your families and parents. The only thing worth reading in that post in my opinion. Fine woods on steroids where there likely will only be truly one competitive choice to rule them all... Plus removing any reason for new players to actually get trained up and participate in larger RvR battles (they'll basically be excluded from port battles, planning, and comms entirely by removing the strategy and larger involvement that screening requires)... A complete dedication to screwing over your existing open world player base by committing more to point-and-click action... Not putting some of those sweet, sweet DLC dollars towards paying actual moderators in game and instead just removing chat... I mean, come on. 🙄 6
s2bu Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 so on the new woods: will there be seasoning for those woods as well? if not - how will they be in performance compared to the current "normal" and "seasoned woods"? In between the two or above seasoned?

Carl_infar Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 "it ll be skill that matters " and for that You remove screening, add teleport to battle and add even more op Woods for veterans for even more monster ships.... xD 5
Holm Hansen Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 hmm... many new woodtypes, maybe also with an seasoned variant, and a blueprint for that ..... 24 new item types, if you not store the basic variants of that is it possible to extend the amount of slots in clanwarehouse? 3
