Level up during an event

pixel_player566427697

Hello. My current level is above 40. (42) The 4th City was opened. And all missions are here. The ships I bought during the whole mission are in Rotterdam. I can't send these ships to missions in other cities. Are you able to fix this? note:Wonders of the seas, club med 2, argus, cyplos; i bought all of them and unfortunately they are all in rotterdam. i can't use these awesome ships for new missions 🙁 PLS Help me..

pixel_player566427697 Yes, that is the way the game works. Every ship you own is "locked" to the region where you obtained it. From then on it is a permanent part of your fleet for that region. Once you move on to a new region you will have to obtain more ships in order to develop your fleet for the new region.

In the overview of this event it states this fact in a slightly different way:

What you've run into is common when entering a new region. Fortunately you will still get jobs for both the new region and your previous one so you have not entirely lost the use of those ships. Plus in the future you will have a great demand for Copper Ore, Wood, and Timber, all of which can be fetched by those event ships.

Hi, I joined the Oil Spoil Challange, but during it I went up a level (Scandinavia), which means I now only have puny boats to complete the challenge. I there anyway I can use my better boats from the previous level?

pixel_player237683215 ooouuufff, chalk that up as a "learning moment". Unfortunately that is how "levelling up" works during events. Events use your 2 "most recent" regions. By entering a new region your "active" set, in your case previously San Francisco and Rotterdam, drops San Francisco and adds Scandinavia. You will no longer get "oil spoil" jobs for San Francisco.

Make the best of the current event, maybe pick up a good ship or two. Use any keys you saved up to buy 100 or 200 key containers (most folks recommend the 200 key one). You might want to start planning what you'll do as you approach Osaka. Again, most folks play the "slow - long game" and try to avoid a lot of XP while they save up keys and parts. The "best" plan is to get to within 10-15 levels of a new region, avoid collecting the event rewards until entering the new region. Perfect timing would be to arrive at the new region just as the event is ending (or in the 1-2 day "grace" period at the end).

Keep in touch, let us know how you're doing or if you have some questions.

PS, some Mod may want to split out these two replies as they really are not related to identifying Bluto or Olive 🙂

Hello there. I can confirm that this setup is correct since it is one of the core mechanics in our game - when our dear Port Managers unlock a new region, the event jobs require ships from your current region (4 - Osaka) and minus 1 region (3 - Scandinavia) as you can see on the picture below.

You can find this information in the event info window:

But of course, we understand that such a situation can be stressful for our players, not only because level up during the event but also because of the new story jobs in a new region. Currently, your fleet is not strong as it was at the end of the previous region and at the beginning of the ongoing event, but as we have mentioned previously, your event jobs require ships not only from the new region but also from the previous one. We hope that this feature can help you a little bit at the beginning. Don't worry Port Managers, with the new event ships and new ships from containers, you will be able to compete with the other players in the competitions soon.

I'm having trouble with the event. The Osaka region was released upon reaching level 100. With this, the event only releases ships from the Osaka region, which ships are at an initial level. thus hampering the development of the event.
how can I compete in the ongoing event with new ships with little capacity. taking away the player's opportunity to compete with other players who have an event in progress.
very angry with the situation.

As soon as you reach level 40, there is only one ship available with less load. You can never compete with users with a lower level, because they have a lot more ships. Too bad, this is no fair competition anymore.

pixel_player632714303 Event competitions are always difficult for the early regions, as you've discovered, advancing a region, in your case entering Scandinavia, means having to build up a new fleet. Best to use these early events to earn some new ships and parts and other goodies. Concentrate on just doing jobs and getting keys and whatever coins you happen to earn.

cdosr that means a lower level player has a big advantage over a player that moves to another level (and region). The lower level player has a big(ger) fleet to transport goods to the spots then someone that must build a new fleet. So the lower level player wins the competition much easier then this other player.

cdosr

pixel_player632714303 in early regions you advance more quickly, 100 levels covers 3 regions whereas later regions are 100 each. In R4 (Osaka) and beyond you have much more time to build up your fleet. I've been in Osaka for 6 months now and just about ready for R5. This is not a short, fast game. Strategy and planning are an integral part. There are lots of posts here about how to plan region upgrades during or at the end of events. Competitions are a smaller part of the game and don't expect to win every one. Averaging 4th in 6 competitions will still get you the legendary ship.

I can confirm that we had an issue where our players had Dragon Isles's event jobs only with ships from the latest region. This was already fixed. You can find more info in this article ➡️ HERE ⬅️ (please check the following section: "The event played only with ships from the latest region").
But everything that cdosr mentioned above is correct and when everything works as it should, this information can help you to proceed after unlocking a new region.

i just been selected to join Ocean City competition, what i saw at the beginning of event, there is alot high level and sure having high level ships too. my concern is this event to use region 3 ship which is i just unlocked it recently and having very low ship. How do i want to compete with high level players? this is unfair for new unlocked region 3 player like me.

Hello there,
I have moved your discussion into this thread where you can find similar inquiries as you had since level-up during an ongoing event is one of the game mechanics. It means that you continue with a new fleet that needs to be first collected and then upgraded. But don't worry dear port manager, the event jobs are generated not only with the new region ships' requirements but also with the ships from the previous region.

Regarding the competitions - please note that there are different factors that decide which players are in the competition. For example, it takes into the matter how you finished your previous competitions, at what time you started to play the competition, and so on.

This is the only game where leveling up is a handicap.. I just made level 100 so the ocean city event was automatically flooded with level 4 jobs. I was ahead in the event now Im behind. I have been saving up keys for a month in preparation but it doesn't help much..

This is the second time I have been screwed over during an event like this..

Please fix this, leave ALL aspects of a region locked until it is voluntarily unlocked by the player

Hello there.
I have moved your request into this thread where you can find similar requests and useful responses.

I am sorry to hear that you feel this way. Level-up shouldn't be perceived as a punishment. When you play events you can use ships from your current and from the previous region. It means that you can finish the jobs with the fully upgraded fleet from your previous region when you unlocked a new region.
