wait why didn't I get into the super secret test server?
FT Adventures came out of nowhere - so something just as huge?
Or....87 new bugs/glitches in one go?
Hmmm.... well, whatever they are, there's a "new version" going up on the test server Monday. We're supposed to find out what these are on Monday..... hmmm. A post providing more details will be published on the test server forum soon. Hmmm.....oh that BB loves to tease doesn't it?
Mybe new types of generals.
It is all about the sale of gems. Income!! The real name of the game.
Lol judging by the number of sarcastic and disappointed posts... How can they make pvp if they can't solve the training more than 25 troops slider cosmic enigma...
Unless those buildings introduce some new mechanics helping to run the adventures and reduce their cost... Well, one could dream:)
If its not pvp... i give up
but that is definitely looking like pvp
Well if its PVP Then 1 or 2 guilds will have to break up and fight each other and be Enemy's now because no one else wants pvp except for a couple guilds. So when your crying to fight break it up and fight each other.
For the same 20 people crying about it all the time you all can fight each other.
Im sure its the same 20 in the secret server as well LOL
Why is there a (rubber) ducky sitting by the cluster of cannons :confused:
Lol the general is taking a bath in the tent and the rubber ducky slipped out of the tab:)
Jeez you guys have it all wrong it is the Renaissance Fair to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Settlers Online where you can go and do games for prizes the easy ones of course give resources and or buffs but the hard games reward gems (mind you not enough to be useful think like 1 to 5 lol but gems none the less)
Looks like a set of defensive positions from towers to castle strongholds
If this for PVP I hope they also make cannon first strike
I see archer towers, bandit camps and garrisons :)
I sincerely hope it is not pvp stuff, that will force me to find a new game to play. :p
With the addition of medipacks to the merchant it's obviously pvp.
Get them while you can...
I don't think this game would ever be built on a PVP style. But I think It will try. But if they do so be it let those that want to go do it do it. I don't see them making this a mandatory thing LOL most of the game players would quit. There are only a select few really that want this..Quote:

But I think you had better get ready I mean the topic would say it all did you guys catch that?
Next week, Settlers, the wait will be over!
So im guessing yea it will be PVP But it will be guilds breaking up so they can battle each other. Some guilds have built some of the players that have everything 80% of the people don't have so you cant compete .
They will break up and have to battle each other because no one else is.

Hmm. Pirate ships!Quote:

Looks like it is PvP related. Since the tower at the bottom could be neutral and the tower at the top looks like a player captured it.
I hope it is PVP and those are towers for the bandits to attack back when we leave to go on Adventures... gives suspense to the game.
sjoe. so many negative comments. I'm not too pleased w/ things i see (that aren't even completely changed to test) in the test server, but i do know BB is trying. and listening. i know tons of ppl who want pvp. i'm not one of them, but ppl don't seem to realize that pvp would take all sorts of different items that they would add just for the pvp. it's not going to impact ur home island, it's not going to impact ur current productions/trades and whatnot. and they've always said it'd be voluntary so only the ppl who want to play it would be impacted. if you don't like it don't do it, but honestly, why all the negativity?
Hello,
PvP will not be coming, that's been boxed. The best match I think is the Expeditions Advs. See Link below.
http://siedler-vision.de/2014/05/exp...eine-vorschau/
looks like new decorative buildings that can only be purchased with saltpeter?
yes, looks like it's what the article describes, PvE and PvP "expeditions

The correct answer is "chicken butt".
Rather it is pvp or pve or any other expedition thing it will affect us. New buildings mean more space needed. With the changes on test we are going to get cramped pretty bad because of so much coal needed to make all the weapons. Most of you guys think it will be like with bronze, you replace few bronze swords makers with iron/steel and its all good. Well Iron/steel production requires about 3-4 times more coal than bronze/copper. Have fun fitting all those cokers/wood cutters on your island...
It's like a domino nightmare. One change affects 10 different things in game. This is the problem when 2-3 different design teams working on different projects. All great ideas and once they come in test - the game becomes a horrid chore that no matter how many shiny new buildings you put in gem shops will not stop people from going "Screw this, I got plenty of chores in real life, don't need dozen more in what supposed to be fun.."
Thank you Deichgraf, for the link. It's pretty interesting.Quote:

The first option, expedition, is similar, maybe less combat & resources paid out?
At any rate the new buildings are built on the new island, not your home island, so space isn't an issue.
The combat changes aren't final yet, we still have time to go play on test and howl at the devs to make the changes reasonable. The changes may never even happen. Remember when they were going to "balance" pine production and all the noise. Then what happened? Nothing. Who knows what's going to happen with combat? Does that even have anything to do with this new feature?? Guess we'll find out Monday on the test server. See you there!
If these 'new islands' have marble deposits to dig out and exotic wood to cut down, then this could be a nice addition to spice things up a little.
Also an expedition probably will be like a geologist or explorer search on the new island.
We would like to announce the first annual The Settlers Online COLOR WARS. Come show your team spirit. Interserver contests for points with rewards for everyone participating. Be the envy of all your friends.
You mean, like...... with crayons?!?!?
Because we've never ended up on the short-end of interserver contests. ;)
Wow, finally! New islands to build and in essence, conquer. And they are adding PVP to the whole deal as well, bout time Ubi, and well played.
As someone posted a page or 2 back, you can find the info on
http://siedler-vision.de/2014/05/exp...eine-vorschau/
it is in german, but you can use google translate to get it in "mostly" english
Looks like PvP to me. My guess is Pvp adventures with winner-take-all loot.
ok that link is to a thread posted back in may. so you're telling me is that the super secret server stuff was leaked way back in may and no one knew??? where is Snowden when you need him?
So we have to buy a new general to participate in pvp?
Not so sure about that line of thought. Especially when they are considering nerfing the MMA right after I bought him.
We'll see I guess.
Glad to see pvp's arrival though, lets hope its somewhat un-abusable by cheaters.
Thats what ruins good pvp. Abuse of the system.
Siedler-Vision knew....Quote:
