GAMEPLAY UPDATE

⚓ BattleSea — Gameplay Mechanics Update

Ahoy, Captains! 🏴‍☠️

We’re excited to share an overview of BattleSea’s current gameplay mechanics, including level progression, combat buffs, and our planned beginner protection system!

📈 Level Progression

  • The game currently features 10 player levels.
  • Earn XP by defeating enemies and completing quests.

To encourage fairer battles between players of different strengths, we’re introducing a Morale Debuff system.

  • Players attacking someone 5 or more Elite Levels below them will deal 20% less damage to that player.
  • Lower-level players will still be vulnerable to attacks, but will have a better chance of surviving against stronger opponents.

🌟 Catch-Up Bonus — Planned

We also have a progression bonus designed to help newer players catch up with the strongest players.

  • +50% XP and Ship Points for eligible players.
  • Available to players below 25% of the TOP 1 player’s progression.
  • Once activated, the bonus remains until the player reaches 50% of that progression.

DEVELOPMENT LOG

Combat, ships & progression

A look at the systems already implemented in the current development build, from targeted combat to quests and ship customization.

Explore the game systems
  • Targeted combat and repairs

    Select a target, use E to attack and Q to cancel. Combat includes ammunition types, critical hits and NPC aggression when hit. Repairs restore hull health and stop when you take damage.

  • Decks, cannons and ship skins

    Equip cannons within your deck capacity. Ship skins change your appearance and can add damage, hull health or cannon slots.

  • Items and tactical bonuses

    Use gunpowder and armor, speed stones, health amulets and damage or slowing rockets. Range and strength books trade damage for range or range for damage; only one can be active at a time.

  • Quests and progression

    Accept quests, track objectives and claim rewards. Earn experience, gold and pearls, and progress through levels up to 10.

  • Maps, safe waters and the minimap

    Explore connected maps with level requirements and PvE or PvP areas. Use the world map, coordinates and minimap to navigate. Respawn in the same map after defeat.

Update 17 brings a new navigation system, coordinates, and an eight-slot item bar.
