Q&A píše:9. Has development for the new skill started yet? Mark: Yes! So, first proper reveal of the day. We are currently working on two skills. We’re working on a gathering skill. When I say gathering skill I mean things like mining, woodcutting or things like runecrafting where you actually are gathering the materials, and then another skill which is more like a finishing skill or a production skill as we call them where you’re doing cool things, making new things to use in the game. Those two skills might not necessarily be linked together. I’m not thinking about a new mining and smithing but it’s that kind of thing. We’re looking at a new gathering skill and a new production skill and both of those are in development right now, and they are also linked to the whole change in lore that we have got planned for next year.
No sailing at this time, but don’t forget that we are doing Player-Owned Ports and that is going to be you, building a port, attracting captains, changing your ships, building a crew, sending your ships off to look for certain things and certain adventures. Whilst you yourself aren’t actually on the ship doing things, you’ll get to wave to them and they’ll send you cool little messages as they go along. We’ve been having quite a lot of fun recently, creatively coming up with cool names for ships or coming up with technology to allow players to build their own ship names and those kinds of things. I’m not intending to do anything like sailing just now but player-owned ports is sort of the first step in that direction.
Paul: Will people be able to customise their ships or anything?
Mark: Yup. So, how much do I want to say about this? Yes, you will be able to upgrade your ships, change your masts and do various different things with all the different parts of your ship like cannons or rigging or crew, changing hull size, different kinds of cargo, you know all that. It will be very tweakable. There will be no SvS combat to start with. As always, with every update we ever do, we’ve had say; a thousand ideas and a hundred of those will be put in to player-owned ports. We’ve got all sorts of ideas that we would like to do in the future and more expansions to the idea. It’s incredibly high-level content. We need to look after our high-level players but not forget about everybody else.
