Community Day Allegiance Boost

What is the allegiance boost? It just says ‘a generous amount’. Like… double? Triple? It doesn’t say. Anyone know?

since it's separated from the rest without specifics I dunno if I'd bet on double

maybe 1.5x but I dunno, just a guess

10x multiplier please. Mitigate the insanity of level 1000! If only…

Imo they don't need universal allegiance boosting for the health of the content they need to make a fight rewarding in different ways so it appeals in different ways

When it first came out I suggested things like fight deeds and I still think that's where they should try to boost interest. Not things based on wins but things based on participation beyond wins/losses or loss farming etc.

using emissary flags
hitting with cannonballs
repairing mast
repairing wheel
repairing anchor
one ball kills
damage taken before sinking

all these different ways to incentivize participation

That's where the design of seasonal rewards succeeds, it rewards activity, effort and time but doesn't bind it to difficult or unpleasant play

This is a horrible idea, it'd have the same product as "challenges" in any FPS game

it encourages wonky play rather then actual serious play, basically the same thing as arenas cannonball farming

Fights should be straight fights to the death and nothing else

Most of what I posted are defense based incentives which encourage participation without controlling fights

Repairing ship parts doesn't change combat it incentivizes participation beyond loss farming

One balls are an incentive without significantly changing combat. Skilled players are already aiming for these and inexperienced players still have a chance of these in fights where they have the same size crews and ships.

1v1 fights are different than chaotic multi ship battles. Random 1v1 matchups cut down on cheesing and they addresses alliances.

Repairing bonuses can be quite helpful in a situation where 1 of the 2 fighters/crews is/are discouraged by a system that has yet to serve them as inexperienced fighters.

What I suggested directly aims to cater to players that are struggling with losses and slow leveling, the content needs participation and interest, it needs inexperienced fighters to not be discouraged out of participation,

and what I suggested doesn't harm skilled players or players that are already well on their way to 1k

It would be changes that offer support for 1-100, that's what the content really needs right now, people to want to shoot for 100 and for people to not feel defeated the entire way there.
