The Southern Seas Event

For this weeks' update the development team have unleashed a wave of content for October under The Southern Seas event. Details include:

• South American players are now able to join the server.
• Sink ship event  - sinking the required number of ships rewards you with credit packs.
• Crystal event -  active players get a chance to earn a navyfield 2 crystal trophy.
• Gold payback event - 20% increase on new gold purchases.
• Sailor skill reset - free officer skill points resets.

The officer reset part of this event is a very important one. Many players have discovered that they would prefer to change their officer points. While this can be done at the cost of gold, the developers realise how helpful this will be to the community, especially with harbour assaults on the horizon.

Many gamers have placed points incorrectly on their officers to find out what works and what doesn't and quite simply refuse to use their gold for a reset if they selected incorrectly.

This is a good move as all players will now be able to fine tune their officer ability points to maximise their ships' effectiveness. Combining this with the ability caps mentioned on the nf2 forum here players can allocate the exact number of points as they wish.

The gold event is also great. If you're looking to spend some money on gold this really sweetens the deal with an extra 20% added on to what you buy.

Patch notes for this week also mention that matchmaking has been adjusted so that only tiers 1-5 and tier 6-12 will be matched together. This will stop the low tier population battling the higher tiers.

Also this is reflected with platoons having the same limitation as well. If a platoon wants to join a match only ships from tier 1-5 or tiers 6-12 can be used together. Ship from different groups won't be allowed to start a match if attempted.

So there we have it, have a great October event, fine tuning your sailors and welcoming all those new south american players.
