PvP Discussion and Q/A

[The_Director]

Hello Everyone,

So far we have seen no news at all about PvP, and what little we do get comes with a TM "soon"

I want everyone who reads this to ask a question that relates to PvP.

Think of this as a Q/A request list. We ask the questions and just maybe we can get a answer from the devs, that doesn't include this: "This thread has run its course".

So, real simple, ask a question, if someone asks a question that you know the answer to, respond.

Rules:
1. No Raging

2. No Finger pointing

3. No racist remarks

4. Stay on topic

I will ask a BB to enforce these rules, so be on your best behavior!

I will start with a question; Since PvP will be done on islands that are not connected to the home island, will PvP islands be like Anno Online's islands where the player can still build on? or will it be on a blank island that is set up once 2+ players start a battle?

I was thinking of something along the lines of the old settlers series, where its a semi blank island but each person starts at different points (NPC started different points). and they grow borderlines beacons that expand with towers. capturing towers reduces their land space thus destroys their buildings. whoever dominates the island wins that island and you gain resources or whatever prize reward from that map.
could also be a time limit too so whoever gets the most control wins when its over.

also- possibly add some sort of 'ship that allows you to transport reinforcements or resources from your home island. (ship has a long travel time so this needs to be balanced of course where it takes a while to get reinforcement/supplies). spies can be useful in reporting back the opponents reinforcement arrival times and opponents current resource supplies, production and troops etc.

In the Closed Beta, the Home Island buildings had Health Points. During one of there Maintenance, They took the Health Points away and then in 2011, They said that PVP will not be on Home Islands but on a separate island in December of 2011.

This sounds a little like my suggestion written a long time ago.

I asked MrGrimm about lvl cap raises seeing that with the introduction of star coins a lvl cap increase seems like it's not going to happen. He responded with not to give up hope on lvl raises and keep and eye out for something in the forums about it. I guess we will see if this magical event known as PvP or lvl cap raises ever come true. Or is it just like the new stuff coming out and just a FAIRY TALE.
