Title bonuses - Feedback needed
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 1:59 pm
First of all, our apologies for the delay on the countries&titles feature. We wanted to have it rdy about this time but we weren't able. This was due to the amount of work this feature requires. It messes with a lot of already scripted things that needed to be re-written. We got some more work ahead but we are on the final stage.
This time I want your feedback on the bonuses for the titles. We have created the titles & bonuses list a long time ago, to give you time to prepare for the forthcoming feature. Now, we want to finalize this list and we thought to gather your feedback on it. We have received some pretty good feedback over time so we are always interested in your opinion.
You can find the list here: http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... ion=titles
It is a bit hard for the average player to understand the extends of the bonuses. Especially if you are unaware of the future planning. Perhaps the greatest mismatch has to do with Pirate bonuses. It is difficult to explain it right now, so I will just say that the ideas around how a pirate should be are right now at a preliminary stage. There is still a long way to go with lots of features that will affect players who choose the piracy path.
(The general desired outcome for pirates, is to make it a hard path that will need much activity and will be dependant of other players for maximum effect. Players choosing the Piracy path will not have the need to maintain a merchant fleet ---this is currently possible but requires really aggressive players which are likely to end up ganged by the rest, therefore not a balanced choice--- and will even get penalized from trading. Such alterations and more will follow the country&titles feature and explaining it more is beyond the subject of this topic.)
Now, back on topic, if you got a specific idea for an extra bonus that could be added or some tweaks, whatever, let us know. This is what we mainly seek to hear from you.
