We don’t really have a means to tell players outside of the game, I imagine it’ll spread by word of mouth (or word of Discord I guess).

Suggestions:

1. make the safe server notification pop up whenever a player logs into the game a la event notifications.

2. add some kind of moon icon next to moon servers

and please make it so you can tp to other servers after logging in.

This thread is for questions but we thank you for your suggestions!
 
Hi, first I would like to say I'm a big fan of the TLOPO team because you guys are very devoted people working hard to bring us new content and new aspects to the game. :happy:

Q: Will we ever see released New ship models and new ship upgrades?
and in the upcoming test server are we going to be able to drive/sail with Navy, EITC, SOTL ships like we did back in Disney test server?

@The Crew

Let's talk about Muertos Moon.

Per the recent facebook post and confirmation from @John Macbatten, this year's Muertos Moon update features "safe servers" that are immune to the moon's effects. Yet when I log on and open up my map, here's what I see:

There's absolutely no way to tell which of these servers are safe.

I then decided that the next-best option is to guess-and-check which servers don't have the moon. But when I attempted to teleport to another server, I got this notification:

So here's my question: how are we supposed to make use of these safe servers when we don't know which ones they are, and there's no way to teleport to them after we've entered the game? Why not just put some icon next to the servers that have the moon and allow players to teleport to ones that don't have it?

It does not matter if this is how it was in POTCO. It was stupid there too if it was. It turns out that there are plenty of players who aren't overjoyed at the idea being harassed and griefed by this game's enormous troll population. For the love of god, add a viable opt-out system if you're going to enable this kind of behavior.

LOL.. yup. All of this. Just had a big group at the Twins on Abassa, when out of nowhere, 10 or so people from Mercy came and sieged everyone, most of them invisible, and one or two glitched into walls. Out of hand. There has to be some kind of workaround.

Yes, we have a new model known as the Carrack. If I’m being honest, it still needs a bit of work before it’s ready to be owned by the player-base. We haven’t worked on it recently, as we are focused on other aspects of the game first.

As for the test server, maybe, maybe not. Disney released the SOTL completely by accident. They revoked it a few days later but some managed to buy the ship before it was taken away. I can’t really say either way as it’s something in the future, but players likely won’t sail an EITC or Navy ship unless it’s launched by a GM for an event.

@Stephen Teague Thank you! :thumbsup:
 
Since the Founder badge discussion has disappeared into the ocean, I assume that it will be announced of who gets what near the full release of the TLOPO? Or will it be sooner than that?

Will beta content cut from the release of POTCO (from pre 2009) be implemented into TLOPO?

Depends on what it is. We only have source code that goes back to 2008.

Also in regards to Muertos Moon: adding icons like invasions to the server list is a bit more involved than you think. We didn’t have time to get that out to you for this Friday the 13th. But it has been noted! Would be nice to have that for Treasure Fleets too (and maybe a little buff for them as well, but that’s a whole other project entirely).

So I know a lot of looting questions have been asked/answered, but I have another.

Do you get some sort of percent chance bonus for being in a group? I feel like skulls drop more often when I am in a larger group vs solo. I know kill times will be faster in a group, which obviously means more chests and quicker.

I just want to know if I am at a disadvantage, loot chance wise, if I choose to solo farm a boss.

No, the amount of people you loot with (or crew with) does not affect your chances. This is likely a form of confirmation bias.

Could be confirmation bias
But keep in mind with a group you'd be killing bosses a whole lot faster than on your own. You'd likely be getting more skills just by virtue of you're killing the boss and rolling the dice more often.
 
I'd like to get a staff wording on this, but over the course of tlopo and potco in general there's been alot of misinformation and different wordings on how treasure sense actually works. Does it increase the chance for skulls/normal loot chests, or is it only an increase in gold?

In tlopo-rc-v1.20.0 the skill was reworded to show that it only affects the drop rate of royal chests when sailing, this was done to make it less confusing and vague.
