Ayy!!
Soo... You guys all know about server/portal hopping. Some love it, some hate it and others just don't care about it. I'll just cut straight to the chase!
Emissary flag status lost?!
My idea is that after You "travel" between servers:
- While sailing under the Reaper emissary flag You would become emissary level 1 no matter what level You had before. It would be like starting on a new server only You keep your supplies and loot.
Pros:
- would make it less boring for Reapers as they would need to raise thier emisarry level every time they "find" themselves on a new server to see what they can "borrow" from other players
- would make it more similar to gameplay intended by creators
- would make it easier to defend against Reaper crews as other players would have time to prepare against level 5 Reapers as they normally would
Cons:
- Nothing comes to mind.. since its easier to gain level 5 as a Reaper because ANY loot will increase your emissary and tall tales are rarely done with Reaper emissary.
- would make it impossible to server/portal hop the old way.. but that is kind of the point, ain't it? :)
Whlist sailing under any emissary flag EXCEPT Reaper You would lose a maximum of 2 (maybe 3) levels of your emissary depending on your current emissary level.
Pros:
- would make it fair against Reapers since they too would have a reduction in emissary level when they "get" to a different server
- would make it more similar to gameplay intended by creators
- would make it fair against Reapers since You give a chance for Reapers to attack You until You reach emissary level 5
Cons:
- would make it harder to earn money after You "appear" on a new server - if server/portal hopping is a thing with PVE crews
All of the above would exclude server merge.
In my humble opinion server/portal hopping needs a nerf.
I am open to suggestions of course, hit me!!
Have a Good One, Mate(y)s!!
