Captain Stabbin 34 Posted May 17, 2019 Ummm...did they mention they were shrinking the regions somewhere by about 25%? Check your maps folks. You will see a huge difference in region size or is it just me? O.o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UnknownSystemError 111 Posted May 17, 2019 Yeah, they finally caved that the mechanic of staring at a screen, sailing with no wind or against it, for hours at a time just to experience content might just be losing them players. I am a firm believer that if you make the devs play their own game without god powers a whole mess of quality of life issues would be fixed quite fast. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Stabbin 34 Posted May 17, 2019 I got that they wanted to make the game smaller but where is it that they told us this was happening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dulu 11 Posted May 17, 2019 Are you kidding me. It's already very hard to catch people at sea without them immediately running to a cannon tower or mortars. Game needs more ocean, not more land/animals/farming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Stabbin 34 Posted May 17, 2019 Okay so I am not imagining it then? The regions did noticeably shrink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INVALID 1,037 Posted May 17, 2019 Not sure what you mean by regions, do you mean the size of each grid? We haven't made any such changes since the launch of our last Mega Update which introduced additional islands and trenches early April. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Stabbin 34 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks . Yes grid size! I know I am not certifiably crazy but I noticed in L2 I now sail to the region curtain to K2 much quicker and I can see my island easily. Okay well thank you for the input I guess it just felt bigger before. Edited May 17, 2019 by Captain Stabbin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocHolliday 366 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) The more you become familiar with any given area it will continue to shrink in size in your mind. Happens with drives to new jobs, houses, buildings you frequent, etc. I've noticed it in this game myself. My island felt huge at first. Now its home, I know where everything spawns and it feels smaller. Edited May 17, 2019 by DocHolliday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now its home, I know where everything spawns and it feels smaller. True. I used to run cross country, and our coach would load us up in his truck, take us out into farmland and drop us off. We had to run back to the school. When it was roads I was unfamiliar with, it was demoralizing because it just felt like it was longer. But this hardened us. Courses we were familiar with, seemed so much easier in comparison. As a result, our team was very good. Odd how the human mind works...we crave change, but we need stability...the familiar, to be mentally healthy. All animals are like this...too much change stresses them out. But it is really interesting how a ten mile run on roads that are familiar, seemed easier than a 5 mile run on unfamiliar roads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 246 Posted May 18, 2019 Regions do sometimes look smaller. Esp the ones with 5-6 islands in them for 122 or 81 pts. But my region is same size as rerelease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Stabbin 34 Posted May 18, 2019 Problem solved. My wife was playing tricks on me and she switched my monitor out for a slightly smaller one! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next, she's going to take away your 3x magnification reading glasses, and so, the next time you use the restroom, you are going to be in for a...ahem...big surprise.

I would run you to someone else's towers if i could, gain advantage and repair, turn back and nail you too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except they never turn back. 99% of the battles at sea in this game are people desperately running away, throwing everything overboard, and sitting behind mortars/cannons on land if they can.

Ah yeah looking for a quick win button. Tells you how many are really ready for pvp. There is some pretty weak players out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
