State of the game: Zergzergzerg... (opinion)

[Kloothommel]

Is it me or did the recent patch turn this game more into a zerg game where there is no tactical depth? 

 

Port battles are boring now.

Ships hardly sink, so a decently defended port is unavailable.

1st rates are going the way of the dodo, no need for them.

Ports taken in dozens at a time, just swarming. 

 

The state of the game at this point is one where I want to take a break. Am I the only one?

 

Up to a few weeks back there was action and a nice spread of activities. Now it is waiting for timers.

The current patch is a step along the path the devs have created to get to the end product.  

 

Politics and War is to come with a change in port battles.  the current port battles is just a small step.

 

Keep up the good work devs.

You are not just playing a game, you are helping to build one.

 

This is how a game is developed & fine-tuned.

 

Your patience is not only appreciated, its very much needed at this stage my friend.

I believe there is a patch on Wednesday to address the penetration issues.

[surfimp]

As a dedicated privateer / trader / crafter / patroller / defender, I am loving these changes, especially to teleport.

The issues with damage & penetration will be sorted out.

It's gonna be fine IMHO. If you're feeling burned out, maybe take a breather from the port battle scene and try out some of the many other things to do?

Me and the British traders and escorts I torment off KPR are having a pretty good time, IMHO.

1) What do you think is wrong.

2) How do you think it could be fixed.

 

You can't just vaguely complain and expect magic to happen.

ok then, 2)

- bring 1st rate pb back. Right now it is boring as ****

- Armor nerf mis coming, good. But the tuning will probably not go that smooth/as planned.

- 3 day cooldown rewards zerg attacks. Great job there. (scarcasm)

 

Good enough?

someone seems pretty salty that he can't zerg sweden with 1st rates.

So thats the point...you cant Roflstomp with 25 Santisima anymore...

[Quineloe]

First Rate PBs are still in. Attack regional capitals. It's really such a non-argument.

 

He's not even giving the new patch a week, hell not even a single day given it still needs some fine tuning and it's already "omg game ruined!!!1"

Funny that certain players still don't want to help. Some don't really know what "testing" means.

Not adressed at Sweden. Did I say Sweden anywhere?... Keep your toxicity down, please...

 

I'm just stating that 1st rate battles are more fun. More tactics, less brawling.

All of 38 ports on the entire map. Seems a bit of a non-topic. Too few of those available.
