Topic: [379065] New Storm - December 2020

[-379065] domitsu (GB1) [GB1] :: Dec. 16, 2020, 3:41 p.m.

Great to see more relevant rewards in Storm suddenly - quick question though, quite a few people (myself included admittedly) get a lot of the aqua from spam-farming level 70 and 80 aqua forts with loot comms. Obviously, the aqua got _this_ way is capped by storage size, which is ignored for island captures. Island captures, particularly now, require chasing islands against top players with fully upgraded ruby boats and the ability to launch on pretty much every single available island at once, meaning that any rewards over 80k aqua (like all the new useful ones) is unachievable any other way.

Is there any plans / thoughts about allowing aqua storage to go up to a higher cap than 81k? Even if it was just (quite expensive in wood/stone) 5x10 buildings in the castle that each give you an extra 10k aqua storage or something it would give a lot more people an incentive to grind the event.

We (as moderators) are pushing for 2 changes, we can't promise anything but we are trying.
1: The removal of honor from storm.
2: Increasing the storage for aqua or removing the limit

I hope they get looked at soon and get taken into account.

Both sound excellent to me. Can't see any downsides to either

@Poseidon X Angel can you clarify when the first point will be implemented? Because with us (our server) it is relevant for malicious players who goes in Islands just to easily steel glory.

is the no attacking islands that are already taken in storm, (unwritten rule ), going to continue?

No

These changes are being considered by Boo Masters but Whitetiger currently has an unfavorable view of these proposals and it unlikely to approve them at this time.

Thank you for your question. When the new event was unveiled, Whitetiger abolished the "no attack" rule.

I sincerely doubt it matters whether Whitetiger approves or not. If it does get implemented, then it'll be a game mechanic that completely blocks gaining honor in the Storm Kingdom, I would imagine, similar to how honor cannot be gained by knocking capture flags.

Or just like in Berimond..........
