PVP fans rejoice!

With a well set-up defence you - the defending player - makes a huge difference for the attacker. Just give it some time. Small tier 1's - cannot even be compared huge tier 3´s. The more you get around in the exp. islands, the faster you will see that there are easy ones and really hard ones.

Actually the PvP or not PvP discussion is kind of stupid, as BB calls it PvP. If you disagree there are loads of 24/7 PvP games to be found.
The awesomeness with the exp. islands is that it is dynamic strategy - you need to make your own decisions everytime you land on an island.
That is the big change from normal adventures, and once you get the idea of exp. islands - normal adventures gets rather boring.

Looking forward to the upcomming progress system.

• When searching for an Expedition, friend's and Guild friend's islands won't be included in the search result any more

so a player that sells/buys many LSs will be limited to the amount of player owned islands his/her explorers can find?

Yes.

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:

Time to clear some people off my contacts list because they are not friends. I need a Contacts list for trading with people. People I still want to attack

I enjoy the expedition battle mechanics, and have tried to be a supporter of the whole thing and come up with constructive ideas. But....I just can't do it anymore. At tier 3 I can search all day at 150 coins a pop and never find a granite or titanium island to attempt to conquer....not to mention one that is player owned.

I suppose I could go in and intentionally lose enough times to get knocked back to tier 2 or tier 1....but that just seems so pointless. Please BB do something about the reward systems...nobody wants a tier 3 large hardwood lumber or coal island for 7 days!

Actually, if you want to sell me red paint and tell me it's blue, then that's alright...it still doesn't change the fact that I'm not getting blue but red. So what it is and what you call it are 2 different things. BB can keep referring to it as PvP, and the proper rest of us will continue using "PvP".

What's pointless of having stats to compete for epeen and you get to forge them yourself too ^^?

You don't have to actually lose, you visit the island, go home and cancel the expedition. It may take only once, it may take a few times if you've done a lot of tier 3's, but you'll drop back to 2 without losing any troops / intentionally losing any battles by just canceling. I'm also frustrated by the lack of choices in tier 3, even put in a ticket about it. I was told it's a known problem and will be fixed eventually.

Just that there is no competition between any player. [...] PvE remains PvE, regardless of what you lable or dress it up as. [...] Monopoly is more PvP than the current "PvP" we got here...

lol - Thank you - I think I was trying to dress it up too much! ;

About your second question, you can find the answer in a previous [...]

Thank you, Endesmor for the replies - you are correct on 2nd issue, I appear to have missed that changelog in my travels...

It would be SO simple to make PvP popular.

Frozen Manors are the most wanted buildings in the game.

Put Frozen Manor in the exp. island loot with a fair drop chance - and you'll see how everyone will love PvP. He-he...
