Five Sided PvP Battles
We’re wrapping up the recent open sea battle revamp with another big change – battle markers are going to open up to all sides. That means there’s the potential for up to five sides in a battle (the four player sides and neutral NPCs). This doesnt apply to PvE flagged encounters, but it does apply to battle markers with NPCs that are inside hotspots.
Spawn points will be arranged in a pentagon shape.
Allowing multiple sides means that battles will be more dangerous and international relations become more important.
Jumping from one NPC battle to another to get through a hotspot will be dangerous with five-sided battles. Instead of preventing hostile members of other nations from joining, it just changes their spawn location and wind orientation. When sides 3-5 join the battle, they’re automatically orientated towards the center of the battle.
Ad-Hoc Alliances
There are no game-enforced alliances. All alliances will need to be established and upheld by players. That means it’s not possible to guarantee that any third side in a battle will assist you, or that they wont turn on you after you work together towards defeating an opponent.
