[DevelopersNotes] What's happening in the Caribbean Sea(Done)
06-21-18
Greetings, Captains
We are here today to talk about the upcoming changes in the Caribbean Sea. Some of them are already around the corner!
First things first, let's begin with the most exciting Content, The Cutthroat Cove.
[Changes in The Cutthroat Cove]
The Cutthroat Cove, where all the top 100 captains gather and fight against each other to determine the strongest captain in the Caribbean.
As the contenders' timezone varies, we have decided to do some changes to the schedule.
■ Schedule Changes (PDT)
| Before | After | |
| 1st | 10PM | 6PM |
| 2nd | 6AM | 6AM(no changes made) |
Please note that the changes will be applied from July 1st. We will ensure that the Cutthroat Cove will be the best place to test your cannons in the Caribbean!
[Bring Out the Exciting Changes, Tacticians!]
The biggest changes in the history of the Caribbean, the Tacticians.
We love to see all the tacticians settled in the Caribbean, But as a matter of fact, Tier 1 Tacticians are not the most loved. Hence we prepared to re-balance the tacticians, which will include their skills according to their characteristics!
- Time to embark, Tier 1 Tacticians! -
Level Max Tier 1 Tacticians will grant a higher chance to activate buff/debuff.
■ Changes
| Name | Skill1 | Desc. | Changes |
| Bartholomew Blood(Wind) | Aim for the cannons! | Attack 1 enemy ship and decrease enemy bombardment speed | Increases
a chance to decrease enemy bombardment speed 50% > 85% |
| Bartholomew Blood(Fire) | |||
| Felix Da Costa(Wind) | Rapid Fire | Attack 1 enemy ship, buff allies' and your bombardment speed | Increases
a chance to buff your bombardment speed 50% > 85% |

| Joaquina Diaz(Water) | Mockery | Attack 1 enemy ship, taunt enemy and buff your ship armor | Increases
a chance to buff your ship armor 50% > 70% |
| Joaquina Diaz(Wind) |
In addition to it, some tactician skills will be re-balanced to bring in changes in where players favor particular tacticians in the battle. We would love to see various tacticians as well as various tactics!

[Research it step by step]
We know some research items need lots of Bloody Coins.
To alleviate the burden, we have split it into two steps.
| Categories | Number of the affected items |
| War | 14 |
| Expert Research | 11 |
The research items that are already in the process of researching will not be affected.
[Turn your trash into Blue Prints!]
For the captains who have enough Mammoth Galleons,
the function where you can convert your Premium Ship Tier Up Ticket [Mammoth Galleon] into x1,000 Premium Ship Blueprints will be added.
We always wish you all the best, captain!
[New Challenge, Perfect Kill]
The last thing that will be addressed is the new feature, the Perfect Kill.
The First Kills that were granted at the first defeat of Merchant ships and Monsters will be removed, and the Perfect Kill will take its place in which compensations are awarded according to the total damages dealt.
You can check the achievement list of the Perfect Kill at the Lighthouse. Gifts will be sent to your alliance members as you achieve 3 stars in the Perfect kill. Even additional rewards await you depending on the number of the total collected stars!
In addition, Minor changes will be also made in the Event Mission and Rewards along with the Perfect Kill system that stimulates captains' collective lust.
We hope this could help you out with preparing for your new adventures.
Thank you for sailing with us.
