I have already quit the game because of the booring meta to grind reals. Only reason i got here is because CKA posted to come over and like / bump this topic. Make earning dubs and reals interesting again and ill come back.

Just few examples how my suggestions have been accepted on forums: Let enemy ai (at least traders/pirates) spawn on all ports for easy and fun action anywhere, reasons to leave port even for 15-30min fight safely. - Reaction was NO. This will move too many players away from PvP action! We dont want this. Have easier AI back, not the stupid one but the easy one 2 years ago before the overhaul, and the big fleet missions that were super fun. - NO NO NO. Again too many drawn out of PvP. New AI is GREAT its good practice to PvP fight with all its buffs and bonuses! We want to keep it! Well.. Bring back small battle rooms? - Nope. No one will leave port! and again we have no PvP! These are the majority responses i have got. And there is many more. So it does feel alot like most here on forums wanted it to be like this.

I have ranted so many times here about the game being not noob friendly, AI being stupidly strong and PvP being mostly ganking. Game offers zero fun and fast content. Its all hardcore pvp and rvr. That's what most of you wanted here on forums. Now you have it. Now its niche game that offers only butt clenching hard content or time consuming pvp/rvr that most people don't have time for. Moments i have fun in NA have decreased to very low. I only collect nice ships nowadays. when taking them out for kill missions now and then, im still afraid it might lead to sinking one of them. If im doing 1 wrong decision against npc it can lead to you sinking to the npc magic... So im not really tempted even doing that either as replacements are often hard to get for casual player like me. (ships that need dubs or cert) Quess i just quit.

It has been asked thousands of times. They wont even fix the clan message of the day problems. Why would they fix ranks?

Yes, if redeemable ships have PBs then should nation capital build ships have too. And Admirality ships. At this point bonuses being so OP. Every ships should have some. Redeemable ships already have superior advantage as being ship you can spawn anywhere, now them having PBs too i dont see why other ships shouldnt have em too.

Just give captial region ports some random Port bonuses too.

My advice, find another game that is newbie friendly. "NA is made for hardcore gamers only." Thats what admin has written.

I bet some of them are the backers and stoc kowners so they get to change the game to their like. In before timers removed again. Honestly im just waitign that we are one ported again. Or Trux is farm fest. Oh joy so much fun game mechanics. ^^

Pay the NPC to sail your ship to a port. And the actual ship would sail the sea. Thats what i want.

Still my only wish is AI ships felt like they were the stats they are shown. And i dont like that AI is put up whit all the mods either. Sure we players can have the mods, but we need to resupply them quite often and most of the time are forced to grind AI to get dubloons and marks to buy them... So we need fight them whitout mods. Fighting super annoying AIs whit bad loot fitted with buffs and mods... > Quit game or sail whitout mods anyway. OR Do shit ton of econ > Sail pixel ships hours and hours for eco missions and possibly just get ganked > Quit game.

Any day if they just sail the hello kittying ships they are in (fir/fir) whitout bonuses and buffs. Have same realods ect ect... Fir ships are like ironclads whit turrets atm.

I like this.

Yes its parallel. I use it quite often.

Yeah same action is also used on if you try to tag along with friendly NPC to safe port. Enemies attack the NPC then leave and it will not respawn. Then they attack you when you are kicked out the instance.
