What are these Green Circles...

....that Pop Up randomly and non-stop all over the Maps? Did I miss the Memo?

 

There are red ones too that look like mini Love Lost. They seem related to the event but no idea what they are or what triggers them.

 

Yes...I should have mentioned those as well. I'm not sure if I should move out of these circles or stay in them when shooting. I don't see much going on in Global Chat (not even sure if it is working), so I have been very baffled. That is a pretty big change in graphics to not be mentioned somewhere. Thanks for the feedback, mate! I appreciate it!

 

Hello,

I do belive the green circle you are reffering to are the buffs from the ongoing event npcs.

There are 3 kind of event circles (buffs) and each of them spawn once npc has been sunk:

Blackheart´s Mate (sword symbol - boost your damage)
Redtooth´s Mate (shield symbol - boost your defence)
Silverblade´s Mate (vial symbol - heal your ship temporarily)​

The small circles that apear under your ship are debuff zone (lower your defence and damage), so once such circle appear under your ship move out of it.

Hope that answers your query.

I like that answer, but since @The*Defiant is the OP, I'll leave it to him to also respond.

 

Thank you Rymar! I wonder why this was not put into the FAQs for this Event? I am not trying to be rude or attack anyone, but in my opinion, this was either due to outright sloppy work or (hopefully), due to a lack of communication between the Developers and Mods. (I do not doubt that this "Unity nightmare situation" is frustrating for not just the players, but for the Mods as well).

 

Ahoy,

On this occasion it was neither, it's good to leave some things a mystery and allow players to work it out - in fact their are whole game genres around that concept!

As this has been answered I'll close the thread.

Happy Sailing!
