Your Seafight Team

 

Ahoy Pirates,

We shall be syncing shortly, please plan your gameplay accordingly.

Event Preparations:

• We have prepared the upcoming Halloween Event; The Darkest of Eves.

Improvements:

• When the Aura of Protection is active, users can no longer Build or Repair Towers in the Island Administration window.

• Sometimes the full name of the modifiers on Items or Skills was not visible - FIXED
• You would experience a lot of lag when you had a lot of Captains and/or Captain Equipment in the League of Captains - FIXED

Your Seafight Team

 

Ahoy Pirates,

We will have a sync later today with the following event changes due to the large amount of NPCs contributing to the lag issue.

Event Changes:

• Minions will now despawn after 2 minutes (previously 3 minutes).
• Base NPCs will spawn every 3 minutes (previously 1 minute).

Your Seafight Team

 

Ahoy Pirates,

We had another sync a few hours ago with the following changes.

Event Changes:

• We have changed the base NPC respawn rate from 3 minutes to 2 minutes.
• We have halved the amount of minions that spawn from the base NPCs.

Your Seafight Team

 

Ahoy Pirates,

We have a sync today with the following changes, please plan your gameplay accordingly.

Event Changes:

• We have added a fallback reward to the Design when you receive it from a Shipwreck / Vengeful Shipwreck

Genie Quest Changes:

• We have made a change to the Genie Quests.
  • Previously all Genie Quests would reset once you redeemed a Genie Quest, allowing you to complete the same Genie Quest the next time you activate The Lamp. This was contributing to the lag issue we have on the Ultra Server due to some legacy code, especially when a lot of players are redeeming them at the same time.
  • Therefore, for now, we have disabled this reset. This means that the Genie Quests will only reset every 12 hours when you have a new set of Genie Quests to choose from (you will have to activate a different Genie Quest each time you use The Lamp).

Your Seafight Team
