Realm Royale Reforged - HiRezIsiah

Editing local config files to change in-game appearance is against terms of service and bannable (uncapping FPS, limiting FPS, or changing font region are the only allowed changes)
Macros used to provide in-game advantages are bannable
Teaming is bannable. This includes not killing your friends in queue snipes while killing others. Play normal.

Dev note: We receive many reports from people that aren’t participating in the queues that send reports players are teaming (not killing others, while killing them). These frequent reports are the reason we had to make this decision. We have the intention of adding “customizable customs” in a future patch that may allow a lower minimum number of players and enable bots to give a place for these types of games.

Developer Q&A Answers

Nova Empire - Aquila Interactive Community

Commanders, the devs have answered your questions.

Enjoy the read!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q Can the “Viking Class” ships used by the NPC be updated to Class 1 or Class 2 of players ships?
#A We're working on implementing radar pirates that are more powerful and with more rewards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q We need another weekly event to be able to get Solar Dust and Time Matrix… there are three things that are important that require them for upgrades. What happened to the other tasks that offered them as rewards?
#A We are currently working on this!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q Now that you guys have released t4 dreads with power totals over 2 billion per fleet… are you guys planning on bringing the Elite Pirates up to parity? Along with better rewards?
#A We will adjust the gameplay on the galaxy map, including elite pirates, planet exploration and legion missions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q How are we supposed to complete the task of 10 exploration missions per day when only 6 are available. And add to that that you can only do 3 every 8 hours of the 6 allotted?
#A Exploration attempts will restore by 1 every 2 hours, you can also head to different solar systems to explore more planets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q We need more defensive modules: shield modules and health modules would change the way game is balanced. The introduction of battle units, crystal modules and flagships did nothing to improve the weapons, everyone is still using missiles.
#A Missiles are not the most powerful weapons right now, you can try some other configurations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q Can you guys remove the red reward icon notification off of the timed battle simulation trials. I constantly am annoyed by it.
#A This will be fixed soon!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q (1)How to calculate damage when shield armor and evasion are working on enemy’s ship?
(2)How often is the merging event? It’s been a long time since last merge.
#A 1. Evasion is the first to be calculated, then the system will calculate Shield and Armor.
2. It is often decided by our operation team, no specific schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q Was it intentional to have the purple fragments set at 60 pieces for combining from the timed battle simulation? The prize pool is so diluted with other prizes not to mention there seems to be 55-60 different types to collect. Seems like a huge over sight…
#A We will release more Battle Units in different events.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q When are you going to fix legions?
#A You can invite more Alliance members to lower the difficulties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q There are a lot of players who skip going from standard to elite servers. They lower their development to your threshold then move to next server and ballon back to 1 billion.
Are you going to do anything about this situation?
I have a suggestion make level 5 and 6 stations move to elite regardless of development numbers.
#A Thank you for your feedback, we will try to optimize this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q When are you going to release a Erinyes ship point reset?
You said you would put the graviton core in the events of the first season. But we still haven't seen anything.
Better / varied / or chooseable rewards for Elite servers.
#A We are working on all three of these questions, coming soon!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q Why can you not demote, modules?
#A We can try optimizing the recyclings of your modules. And yes, the module boxes do contain Kraken damage modules, you can also equip both the kraken damage modules along with the new modules
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q How many Elite 3M, 4M and 7M pirates are there in a Galaxy? What to do to generate more of them?
#A The refresh rate and rewards of elite pirates are all random, you can click on the elite pirate to check the potential rewards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q When you are not in an alliance or an alliance without territory, you can't warp to another star system unless it's neutral. I am currently in an alliance with no territory, so I can only jump to other systems. No other alliances will accept me because my numbers are too, low, I get it.
#A We are planning to offer better developing environment for this kind of players.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Q Many including me are wondering if there will be a level 7 station? Will the current flagship updates be so hard to attend without paying?
#A Building upgrade is now in planning. You can get Flagship through in-game events for free.

BMW M4 GT3 coming next week!

RaceRoom Racing Experience - Georg

We introduced Raceroom’s new formal content release plan for 2023 off the back of last month’s On The Edge pack, which has proved to be super popular. Next up on the roadmap is an intermediary release between our bigger quarterly packs: we present the mighty BMW M4 GT3, due for launch next week.

[/img] BMW have a history of creating sledgehammer GT3s. They just don’t do ‘just enough’ when ‘all-in’ is an option. Back in 2009, BMW Alpina’s supertanker-size B6 GT3 dwarfed pretty much everything else on track, its supercharged V8 delivering a unique rasp. The factory Z4 GT3 that followed took what was a pretty compact pseudo-roadster on the street and bolted on planet-side fenders and aero to make a low-slung Batmobile of a racer that stood out from the pack: it too carried a rumbling V8 that meant you heard it coming before you saw it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LBoHG6V.jpg[/img] 2016’s M6 GT3 was hardly a shrinking violet: again BMW opted for one of the larger cars in its range, still stuffed with V8 power. Over the last decade, BMW’s GT3 racers have delivered 24 Hour endurance wins at Spa, the Nürburgring and Dubai, and a huge number of victories in international championships. The Z4 alone counted for 67 race or class wins in 12 major series! [img]https://i.imgur.com/by4TyAq.jpg[/img] This is all meant the M4 GT3 had a lot to live up to when it was launched last year: so it won the Dubai 24 Hours at the start of 2023, so it wouldn’t feel out of place with its older sisters. And M4s also came third and fourth… So, new BMW, same as the old one, from the point of view of its competitors. M4s are competing all around the world, from IMSA through DTM to Super GT: and now you’ll be able to drive them in Raceroom! [img]https://i.imgur.com/qz4mwb4.jpg[/img] The M4 GT3 is powered by a throaty 3-litre straight six, dialled up to 11 by twin turbos. In the typically vague parlance of GT3 manufacturers, it delivers ‘up to 590hp’: which is plenty, believe us. The gearbox is an Xtrac six-speed sequential with an electro-hydraulic clutch. [img]https://i.imgur.com/CDYVbeM.jpg[/img] Its suspension is provided by KW’s Competition department, developed at their headquarters in Germany. The 4-way adjustable racing dampers use solid piston designs so the damper liquid doesn’t overflow the working piston – and that enables a much larger force range than normal as well as more control for the driver, no matter the conditions. [img]https://i.imgur.com/i9mHQES.jpg[/img] The M4 GT3 adds to our already super strong GT3 field, which stretches back across a decade of this fantastic class (and includes all the previous BMW models). There are more contemporary GT3s to come in the near future, with the 992 911 GT3 R joining the fray at the beginning of July. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BjmJK0R.jpg[/img] This release will also include two other important development updates. There will be an evolution to our GT3 physics, paying close attention to balance of performance, power to weight ratios, downforce/drag and other general performance indicators. We are also introducing a new FFB linearity update, which will be more dynamic and will allow us to tune the forces on a per-car basis. It should make all the cars feel more grounded and solid to drive, particularly at low speed. It will makes the existing FFB Linearity slider obsolete, so that will be removed with the update.
