    PVP fans rejoice!

    Yes! No more waiting for those pesky travel times! Once you start an expedition now you can cut the travel time of your marshals in HALF! Simply purchase the feature from the gem shop and go on to having fun twice faster!

    I am guessing the popularity of pvp is simply going to fill up the BB coffers with flooding gem purchases. O wait, was that sarcasm? *blushes

    There is no pvp here.

    It might be asynchronous and anonymous, but it is PvP.

    If it is truly PvP, please explain why we do not know who the target colony is owned by (in the case of attacking other players).

    It seems that we might be attacking friends and/or fellow guildies. (Well, to be honest, some need to be 'liberated' of resources) As friends and guildies would be able to recognize each others troop's regalia, flags, guidons and etc. and not target for liberation. So, second question here would be, Does the expeditions offered screen available colonies to NOT be friends/guildies?

    PvP can be used to describe aspects of the game where players compete again each other. The fact that players are anonymous is a design choice that we made.

    About your second question, you can find the answer in a previous changelog:
    • When searching for an Expedition, friend's and Guild friend's islands won't be included in the search result any more


    Cordially,

    PvP can be used to describe aspects of the game where players compete again each other. The fact that players are anonymous is a design choice that we made.
    Just that there is no competition between any player. Player A takes the colony off a PvE based enviroment, as, eh, reward for winning, one gets to place additional defenses (and quite a few of those predefined places need some help... there is no way one ever even passes close by).
    Player B now randomly chances to fight the colony of Player A, which is the exact same PvE based enviroment with a few more PvE baddies than before, nothing in this scenario is anything remotely closer to the concept of PvP than before.

    PvE remains PvE, regardless of what you lable or dress it up as.

    Being anonymous is fine as that doesn't interfere with PvP, then again you'd like to know which *** you kicked and who handed it to you

    Monopoly is more PvP than the current "PvP" we got here...
