sometimes announcements can be quite effective I think. A little poke or wake up call.
I heard the Capture Point Zone got attraction again and people don’t accept it being downgraded by me. That’s good. I need active feedback.
So I boosted it also for NA again and it is for both servers like this (again, depending on activity it can change):
We have 4 PvP playfields with the Capture Point Zone active.
Golden Globe, Homeworld, Armageddon (special PvPvE Rotation) and Black Hole.
Each of them has 3 Capture Point Zones.
1 of them will now give 13 HWS DNA and 100 000 credits reward per day per player in a faction.
The other 2 will give 1 HWS DNA and 1 000 credits.
Let’s see how this goes for the next week(s) and I’ll track your <#1048599970741223475>
Capture Point Zone rewards are given out only to active players now (active the last 24 hours) until we found a way to implement the proposed command to claim the reward - like the eb:interest command. It’s bit difficult to implement…
Capture Point Zone rewards reduced on RE EU until PvP is active again.
POIs in Phoenix got updated here and there to fix reported exploits.
Prism is now a min. 3 player Coop-POI, preventing solo farming.
Sphere and Prism slight loot and difficulty changes
Prevent Swarm Shield Generator from repair
Added 2 new Garage Ships. CV with Furnances and a high shield SV. Thanks to <@151403064413126657> and <@260535232841646081>
Note: the upcoming bigger RE patch (War & Industry) will be fully applied in the next HWS RE season. It requires a wipe to make full use of it, which we do in mid October.
Note 2: Always forgot to mention that we added a similar limitation to buy Garage ships as we have for the HWS Trader packages.
Fighter Origin can buy 1 Garage ship per day
Engineer Origin can buy 2 Garage ship per day
Dealer Origin can buy 3 Garage ship per day
Explorer Origin can buy 4 Garage ship per day
I set most of the turrets to target structures only and rebalanced the loot in the Sphere and Prism. The reason why I added them was to prevent people to spawn ships inside and do it the cheesy way. Also increasing the difficulty and motivating team play to take them out in a rock-paper-scissor game. Nvm.
Welcome to a new HWS RE season <@&926930721812123738> <@&276037439074729984> . All changes in detail below:
<:patreon:740271765225341020> New Patreon Core
One is available for Master Patrons for free at the EGS HQ as all the other benefits to claim.
For non-patrons you get 1 for free if you do all the HWS Star Fragments (PvE)
Additionally, everyone can get +1 Patreon Core (2 in total per season) if you find the special Star Fragment X.
The Patreon Core can’t be put in the OCD, can’t be repaired back, can be recycled to backpack and is the ultimate core for your Base and CV, that gives +1 000 000 CPU and infinite fuel and oxygen.
<:GoldIngot:728165517332054107> Gold Rush
Golden Globe is made out of pure gold and a large spot of red gold that has more gold to drill for.
On Golden Globe there are 2 EGS Bunker that you can claim via Auction.
Once the first player bid on it (at least 50m credits), the global Auction timer of 7 days starts. The winner must pay the amount at the end of the Auction to claim the Bunker.
PvP Radar Feature
You get now more rewards the longer you defend your base in the specific Capture Point Zones. Since it’s a big rework we start with small numbers as a test, so the final reward is not set yet and will be announced if everything works.
Basically you have a base reward for day 1 and get then X credits and Y HWS DNA per day on top to a max. amount of ZX/ZY (make suggestions here about the amount:<#1048599970741223475> )
Also there is a new command o:radar players have to type individually inside that zone, to claim those rewards, if they claimed that zone and meet all conditions for it.
<791849999314190356> Ore Economy Rotation this season is Silicon and Iron. Ore cost +1.
HWS Star Fragments
Apart from playing a big role for the HWS Patreon Core, they also have changed NPC Traders in them. With lucrative trade routes it gives you another reason to find/visit them.
Some minor things like the starter Light Armor and some config fixes. I try to add more content during the season again.
the HWS PvP Radar device will be implemented tomorrow… today, after sleep.
we will start with PvP Radar rewards of 10000 credits and 1 HWS DNA as baseline. Then +1 000 000 credits and +2 HWS DNA per day to a max. cap of 10 010 000 credits and 21 HWS DNA (= reached after 10 days).
we also start with only 1 Capture Point Zone per available PvP playfield again and see how it goes.
Feedback about those numbers please here: <#1048599970741223475>
The 7th Star Fragment has a public 0000 Medic Bay now, you can respawn to, if you die in the Homeworld PvP System (hopefully, have to fully test)
Temporary allow to complete the Ninja Mission Cloud PDA action, until Eleon fixes PDA + Signals
Added/Changed 7th Star Fragment treasure. You have to get the one-time-use Token first for it to open the treasure.
implemented the new HWS PvP Radar Device, combined with the PvP Tokens feature from HWS+(a changed version of it)
It means that you can convert your PvP Tokens into 3 things for the start.
50 PvP Tokens = Instant Player Level 25
25 PvP Tokens = 100 Tech Tree Unlock Points
10 PvP Tokens = 1x HWS Radar PvP Device
As reference this is the current PvP Tokens leaderboard of HWS RE EU and HWS RE NA:
Numbers are up for <#1048599970741223475>
The point is: you get for 10 PvP Tokens the new HWS PvP Radar device, that activates the whole Capture Point Zone feature.
I want to go with that logic, to indirectly implement the logic to give incentives to do PvP overall, which then allows you to settle/build a base, which then forces you to defend you, which ultimately forces others to come at you, so you both can farm PvP Tokens in the end to keep the cycle alive.
What are PvP Tokens?
They are collected as soon as you kill other players in PvP. 1 kill = 1 PvP Token. PvP Tokens transfer over to the next seasons, like your items in your OCD.
Where to convert PvP Tokens?
The 7th Star Fragment, in Phoenix, has a Terminal Console, that you can access to do that.
added 2 new Garage ships! Thanks to Hazama and Xyston
Check the stats for them here: HWS RE Garage Ships - #12 by RexXxuS
Made also 2 very short videos for them.
removed many green ball turrets from Prism and made satellites indestructible again. Does not work destructible for now. Maybe next season with other idea.
