Captains
On previous update
- Massive update with more than 240+ paints and skins was a success and Painter is now the best selling DLC overcoming Rattvisan.
- Around 5-10 paints will move to refits and Navy editions in this forthcoming update.
- We plan to continue adding new paints but the process will be slow. It takes a lot of time to prepare a good paints as it not only requires taste and lots of experiments (paints should look ok in all weather and light conditions), but also lots hard technical work from texturing and paint/material creation to memory management (they all have to fit into texture memory limits) to LOD generation (simplified visuals for long distance images to save memory).
- Please propose new paints in the relevant topics that we posted.
Information on 3 main features of the update
We are working very hard on the new update and its launch date is getting closer and closer. There are no definitive dates yet. But we are very excited about the forthcoming features. They will truly tie the rvr together, and bring 3 important features to the Peace server.
NPC Port battles will come to Peace server.
- NPC will try to capture rich ports from large clans using unique raiding mechanics on both Peace and War servers. If NPC's manage to capture the ports the port will then have to be recaptured. We do not know the intentions of NPC raiders on the port assets (yet).
- Most importantly this means that ports could be recaptured from NPCs, which will open clan control, taxation and investments for the Peace server, and long overdue map fluidity.
NSFW Leopard
NSFW HMS Leopard (1775-1790) will be a new imported DLC ship added in this seasonal content update.
Raids
- Small groups will be able to raid rich ports for profit and glory. They could become a second or maybe first source of admiralty rewards and money for adventurers like you. They are oriented for all segments of players and will be accessible even to those who only have 1.5 hours in the evening.
