Patch 10.1 - Such is a lord
Naval Action - Gamelabs

Patch will be deployed today to live servers.

Changes to conquest
Conquest changes significantly but we want to keep the details about the change vague.
Conquest marks as a reward for damage port battles are removed - so don't be upset when you don't get conquest marks in today's battle that will happen after maintenance. Conquest marks will be distributed differently from now on.

Certain regions significance increased for conquest.

Capitals of the regions your governments demand to bring under control of your nations and will provide additional benefits for them:

•   Santo Domingo
•   Cartagena de Indias
•   San Juan
•   Port Au Prince
•   San Iago
•   Morgan bluff
•   Vera Cruz
•   Campeche
•   Nouvelle Orleans
•   Bridge town
•   Road Town

National governments and Brethren of the coast councils will consider current state of the map status quo and will only provide conquest marks for the increase of the land and its control.

For more information read this topic http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/20628-such-is-a-lord-part-2/#comment-418142

Other changes

•   PvE to PVP mark conversion improved on the PVE server to provide for the above mentioned change.
•   Additional UI bugs fixed
•   Stability of the bug reporter improved

Mystical bug bringing 6th rates into 7th rates missions is still being searched for. We can't reproduce it so please send us more reports from inside the missions while you run away from that rattlesnake

Hotfix 1 for Patch 10.1
8 JUNE - GAMELABS

Captains - hot fix is being deployed today to live servers

•   Low level missions fixed - 6th rates no longer spawn in 7th rate missions
•   Brace now protects your crew from explosions (unless its you who explodes). If you know someone is planning to explode use brace to reduce crew losses.
•   Fixed bugs with rum repairs - surgeon now repairs 30% crew and uses rum properly in instance (1 crew = 1 rum)
•   Increased hostility points generation from pve and pvp by 25%
•   Bellona and 74 blueprints added to a pirate den
•   Speeds at certain angles and turn rates adjusted (mostly improved) for the following vessels
  o   Privateer (angles to wind turning)
  o   Lynx (turning)
  o   Niagara (angles to wind)
  o   Rattlesnake (turning)
  o   Renommee (turning)
  o   Cerberus (speed)
  o   Snow (speed, angles to wind)
  o   Brig (speed, angles to wind)
  o   Endymion (turning)
  o   Constitution (turning)
  o   Mercury (angles)
  o   Surprise, Endymion and Renomme were too fast at close angles to wind and their bonuses the were slightly reduced (approximately 0,5 knot loss at 15 and 45 degrees to wind)
•   Several important bugs fixed

Significant changes
•   Basic cutter is now a basic pve farming ship. It will not be able to attack players and join pvp battles and outlaw battles (battles originated against the player) as reinforcement. It will still be pulled into combat instance if he is in the pull circle.
•   Open world Unstuck command (Tow to port) has returned to its original form. It sends player to the nearest deepwater port (not to capital). It was a temporary change because we had to the random teleport bug.
•   Ship knowledge tree requirements were relaxed and changed at high level ships.

Experimental feature
•   Hull and Rig repairs now share cooldown to provide more depth in combat tactics

We plan to address fleets in outlaw battles issues this month. We know it is an important issue.

Please try not to hoard your conquest marks and spend them - we plan to gradually increase prices for permits over time.

Naval Action - Gamelabs

Captains

Patch have been deployed to live servers today.

  o   basic cutter cannot attack other ships (including basic cutters)
  o   basic cutter can be attacked
  o   basic cutters are not pulled into battles if you attack another ship
  o   basic cutter ARE pulled into battles if you attack a basic cutter

  o   Invisibility timer reduced to 30 seconds (players coming out of invisibility won't be able to attack for another 30 seconds)
  o   Battle closing time reduced to 3 minutes from 5 minutes
•   Demasting rebalanced.
  o   We were not satisfied that too many pvp fights focused only on demasting and it will be much harder to destroy lower mast sections from now on.
•   Labor hour costs of repair rig materials became lower
•   Lower caliber guns costs were reduced
•   Loot tables updated and npc combat ships will drop rare refits and admiralty skillbooks (previously only available for pvp marks)

Patch 10.4 Conquest changes, Battle Groups, Wapen von Hamburg (III)
Naval Action - Gamelabs

Good day Captains

Patch is being deployed to live servers
What's new:
•   Conquest mechanics changed.
 o   Conquest marks converted to combat marks at 10 combat per conquest mark
 o   New mark added - Victory Mark (pve server will receive a combat mark to victory mark conversion)
 o   Victory mark will be granted for map wins (not port battles) using the legacy system (old control will move to the next round)
 o   The whole nation (captains who logged in during last 14 days) will receive a victory mark if their nation wins the map
 o   Map is won by the nation having largest number of conquest points.
 o   Points are received from 3 sources:
     port control - nation gets 1 point for most ports, 3 points for important ports:
   •   Santo Domingo
   •   Cartagena de Indias
   •   San Juan
   •   Port au prince
   •   San Iago
   •   Morgan Bluff
   •   Vera Cruz
   •   Campeche
   •   Nouvelle Orleans
   •   Bridge town
   •   Road Town
    wins - nation gets 1 point per win
    losses - nation loses 2 points per port loss
    This reduces the incentives for port trading as you lose a lot more points by trading ports
   •   Current map win cycle is set at 1 week for testing



•   New group type added - Battle Group
 o   If battle group is attacked only battle group is pulled into battle
 o   If battle group attacks only battle group is pulled into battle
 o   If attacked by another Battle group BR checked between battle groups only
 o   Battle group size - up to 25 ships
 o   Important - all allies who are not in a battle group will only be able to join using reinforcement circles
•   PVP combat mark rewards increased significantly
•   Invisibility now has a speed buff and allows you to ignore wind
•   We added a possibility to review the ship that you just boarded in the inspect ship interface
•   Combat news channel added allowing you to see whats going on in pvp right now
•   Admiralty pvp daily leaderboard added - showing top 15 captains by pvp kills
•   The pull circle has moved to defender as an experiment
•   Fleet ships will now be pulled to outlaw battle
•   We have brought the ability for the clan creator to transfer the creator (founder) status to another person
•   We have added the ability for officers to promote other members to officers
•   Clan warehouse expansion is added
•   Blueprint and permit changes
 o   Blueprints of Rattlesnake heavy, Ingermanland, Niagara, Wappen von Hamburg have been added to game (they all require permits that were added to the admiralty as well for victory marks)
 o   Ocean, Santisima and Pavel permits are now available for victory marks
 o   Bucentaure, 3rd rates and HMS Victory permits are available for combat marks

Fixed bugs:
•   Fix the bug which did not trade the ship you were trading to your counterparty (thanks to Banished Privateer)
•   Finally fixed the bug with random teleports in the world
•   Fixed the bug when the player could be present both in the OW and the battle instance
•   Fixed the bug which randomly removed the player from the open world if he Alt F4 during exit from battle
•   Fixed the bug which did not update the Open world speed if the fleet was dismissed
•   Fixed a ship duplication exploit (thanks to Banished Privateer)

Tunings:
•   Agamemnon now requires shipyard lvl 2
•   NPC no longer can gain hostility by sinking other NPCs
•   Tow to port does not tow you to county capitals anymore (to fix the potential PB expoit). It sends you to common deep water port, but excludes county capitals
•   Ships sink a bit longer
•   Permit prices were rebalances slightly
•   Trincomalee side HP and thickness was buffed slightly
•   NPCs no longer sail rattlesnakes, Niagaras and Ingermanlands
•   War supplies can now get 100% hostility
•   Removed the outdated ability to leave the battle for the side with large BR difference

After this patch is stabilized we will be starting to work on Unity 5 transfer

Naval Action - Gamelabs

Captains

Here is the list of cumulative fixes that were applied to 10.4 patch during this week:

Tunings:
•   Mark limit increased from 1000 to 10000. Lost marks due to previous limit were compensated via redeemables.

  o   Wood types speed characteristics slightly rebalanced as well - (changes in yellow)
•   Caps for thickness, armor and sail hp increased by 5%
•   Victory marks will only be granted to captains with rank post captain and higher

Fixed bugs:

Forthcoming patch final discussion.

We would like to present the final review of the coming features in general (some of which are partially on testbed).

Economy tuning
•   Number of trips required for crafting will be drastically reduced
•   Ship prices will be adapted to better suit older costs that included durabilities
•   Combat marks permits and skill book prices will be adapted but some ships will remain rare and expensive
•   Trading resources placement will be improved and demand and supply volumes adapted for new system

Hostility and map rework
•   All ports will be split into capturable and non-capturable - the amount of ports will represent gameplay difficulty on these original difficulty levels
  o   Spain easy
  o   Britain easy
  o   USA easy
  o   France medium
  o   Netherlands medium
  o   Pirates hard
  o   Denmark hard (only 3 uncapturable ports)
  o   Sweden very very very hard (only 1 uncapturable port)
•   Conquest will remain national - but will be ran by clans
  o   Clans gain hostility for the nation
  o   But rights to entry to port battle is decided only by clan who has highest hostility points for that port (only that clan and his allied clans will be able to enter)
•   War supplies will be abandoned
•   Regions will be split into individual towns. Nations will conquer individual cities.
o   Because regions will be removed from hostility (but will remain for historical purposes)
o   Hostility will now be raised using hostility missions or pvp or pvp in missions, (that will come back)
    o   Missions will only spawn in a certain radius near the town
    o   These missions will be open for all 1.5 hours so both defenders and attackers can react and come to the rescue
  o   We can set mission distance from the port so nations expand their territory gradually (not jumping directly into the backyards of their enemies).
•   All capturable ports will be set as neutral during map reset (we could set them as historical national, but we wanted to give players an option to move resources out if they happened to move there).
•   Neutral towns will have NPC defenses in port battle if they are attacked
•   Because we will no longer need hostility related bots all OW bots can set into traders and occasional combat privateers who will attack players and enter battles from time to time (as before)
•   We will remove rarer ships from missions and will add them to Open world fleets to encourage hunting.

Clan/Guild partial alliances
•   Clan can allow entry to port battles to other clan by setting a friendly status in the clan management interface.
•   Only clans set as friendly to the port battle creator will be able to enter port battles.

New taxation feature
•   Nations will tax all transactions that are using money done through (Stamp tax)
  o   Private Trade
  o   Contracts (they are already taxed)
  o   Public trade using the stores
  o   Ship transactions
•   Barter transactions will not be taxed
•   Crafting and resource gathering will not be taxed

New town management features
•   Clans will be able to set taxes in the city they control but not higher than the government level
•   Clans will be able to set lower taxes up to 0
•   Tax will be paid to clan if clan controls the port (directly to clan warehouse)
•   Clans will be able to set controllable city neutral or national
•   Clans will be able purchase trading outpost in the city increasing the volume of trading resources sold or bought in the town
  o   under consideration - clans will be able to set reinforcement level for their city
  o   under consideration - clans will be able to set the time they can be attacked on (like the old lord protector role) but this will cost money this time.
•   Clans will have to pay maintenance for cities they control
  o   Maintenance will automatically be paid
  o   Maintenance will be calculated based on the city tax level but will not be lower than X (for example 500k per day)
  o   If maintenance is not paid the city will turn back to neutral
•   If clan does not wish to control that city anymore
•   No country for old men Reinforcements and new players protection program
  o   All free towns will turn into neutral towns with the exception of
    o   El Rancho
    o   Tumbado
    o   Shroud Cay
    o   La Tortue
    o   La Mona
    o   Aves
    o   Dariena
    o   Guayaguayare
    o   Neutral towns will allow pirate entry
    o   Neutral towns will allow normal teleports and building construction
    o   This means if nation A does not like free town there - they can capture it and turn into a national city
    o   And vice versa. If another clan does want a free town there - they can capture it and turn back to a neutral town (new freetown)
  o   All uncapturable major regions will provide protection to players of their nation (minor regions and all other towns will not provide this protection)
    o   If the player is attacked in that region he will be able to call to heavy reinforcements that will spawn within 500m of the player with the only goal - get his enemies to the bottom of the sea.
    o   Reinforcement fleets will be sufficiently buffed to both defend a player and not let the enemy escape.
    o   Skilled captains will of course be able to sink the person who they attack (if they bring good numbers) but they will sink too giving some closure to the defender if he sank.

Patch 13: Ship variety in port battles, epic event rework, swivels and other things.
Naval Action - Gamelabs

Captains

Patch is being deployed today

Epic events reworked.
•   Epic events now allow only 6 ships to enter (spawning 9 enemies)
•   Epic events now spawn epic (strong) enemies. If you sink or board a ship in an epic event you can pick up a chest from a destroyed ship.†
•   Players will have to show strong coordination to be able to destroy those stronger enemies.
•   For first stage of testing we will run the Lineship event (that spawn in unprotected waters around the caribbean). After this initial test we will add a frigate event as well.

Port battle changes
•   Port battles now allow limited battle rating based on the city size. We used historical city sizes initially. Please comment on the port battles sizes in the comments and propose changes if any changes needed

Open world loot
•   Open world bots and hostility missions now drop better loot depending on ship size.
•   Mission bots drop less rare loot on average.
•   If you are searching for a particular rare book - you have a better chance to get it by hunting†NPCs in the open world.

Other changes
•   PvP marks have returned. PvP rewards added to the admiralty store.†
•   pvp kills now grant both pvp marks and combat marks
•   2lb gun has been added to game for use on the ships with swivels. First ship with swivels will be added to game in one of the next hotfixes
•   Timers have been tuned slightly. Invisibility timer is now 30 seconds, cannot attack and be attacked is now 45 seconds
•   Reinforcement bot stats slightly changed
•   Speed cap has been increased to 15.5 knots
•   All % caps have been increased by 5% to provide more variability in fitouts
•   Turn rates have been improved for Endymion, Constitution, Agamemnon, Trincomalee, Indefatigable
•   Damage from fire slightly increased (for testing)
•   Explosions now affect ship structure
•   Shot logger has been switched off
•   Fixed the bug that some contested ports are not shown in the list of the contested ports
•   Fixed the bug that did not auto-repair the rudder on the Indefatigable and several other ships

In the next hotfixes
