Great Job

[Hunt4itt]

I just wanted to tell the devs, amazing job on the game. I did not know what to really expect but I think I have around 10 or so battles and now am in a cutter. I love every bit. A friend who also preordered the game and I were on teamspeak working together and it just worked great, once you get used to the aiming and sailing it makes for some amazing duels both long and short ranged. This is the game we both have been looking for, we are both childhood friends and our first MMO we ever played was Navyfield due to both of our interest in naval combat. Since then we have tried Navyfield, Voyage Century, Victory at Sea, Seadogs, Wind of Luck, the Total War series, Ironclads series, and many many more. This game exceeded both of our expectations. Even in this simple form with small ships we have loved playing this for every single minute. I feel the length and pace of battles is perfect, I have ran into a few situations where people prefer to ram because they feel it is instakill, but only once have I seen it work, but still would be nice to somehow discourage this just because it is very annoying. I love the dynamic damage, seeing the shot holes in the hull or the mast coming off after a ram, it is extremely cool to see your ship as the battle goes on. I am so glad I preordered and convinced him to do the same, I cant wait to see this game as it grows and develops into something great. Only complaint is the PVE seems a little unbalanced right now, not in the ship types, but I end up in like a 3v10 or so. I dont mind being outnumbered by one or two, but I wouldn't mind some sort of auto-balance for that. Thank you again! Really enjoying it!

As being part of beta testing for around a year now I just wanted to say huzzah to you guys on a job well done.  I have never seen a team work so closely with its testers and provide such a great game.  Now the craziness ensues and tons of questions, comments, etc. from all the new players.  In this, the genesis of our great game, I just wanted to tell you guys you have done one hell of a job.  Congrats and I hope you can take a couple of seconds to bask in success!  Well done!

I feel pretty much the same. I really like the smoke effect. So frustrating to shoot a broadside intsead of a ranging shot and failing to see where it lands because of the lingering smoke.

[Destraex]

Yes, but as Princess Leia said "it's not over yet"

[Clinch]

For sure but so far quite an accomplishment

[Oneironz]

It's always thrilling to see the forums flood with new names, otherwise much quieter!

It means more players to fill the queues, more battles, more pvp, more testing, faster bug fixing and overall faster development!

Keep it up Gamelabs! Great job so far

[Edward Vernon]

Clinch you are absolutely correct...... BIG shout out to all at Game-Labs on a job well done (so far).......it is now up to us all to give them the best feedback we can to help them continue to develop this amazing game.

[BrutishVulgarian]

Great job, Game Labs! And it's great to have all the new players.

PvE needs a bit of tweaking. Last game it was 2 of us in brigs, we spawned against... 2 surprises, 2 brigs, 2 lynxes. Come on, I'm all for making PvE challenging, but that's not challenging, that's masochism

[BrutishVulgarian]

It would be an impressive YouTube feat, if 1 or a group of players beat PvE without the forts.

[smithcorp]

I want to agree with the sentiments in this thread. I've only played 2 matches (both PvE) and am really impressed with how it looks and runs; and how well the ships appear to be modelled. I can see myself delving deep into this game. Well done devs.

It would be an impressive YouTube feat, if 1 or a group of players beat PvE without the forts.

I've played two battle last nite and we both managed to beat PVE without fort, in one we had two suprise, a cutter a lynx against a couple of trico, a suprise and a few brigs. The other was only one suprise on our side, a cutter and 3-4l lynx against one trico 2 brig and a bunch of lynx.

I think once you get a suprise on your side with a competent capitain it get much easier. Also i notice that if you hit the sail first the AI seem to use is repair instantly on them...

[Sir. Cunningham]

Agree compeletely with OP, the game is damn near perfect combat mechanics wise and its the most fun playing a game I've had in a loooooong time!

Last game I enjoyed anywhere near as much was a WW2 game named Darkest Hour, but this beats it handily!

[Sir. Cunningham]

You're on to a winner Game Labs!????

[Marquiz]

I hope this is only beginning, and this combat arena is start of great open world sailing game. Awesome job, and keep up good work.

[thomas aagaard]

Iam really impressed with this Beta... I actually have fun playing this. And only had one crash during the 9 hours I have played.

[reaper7]

Definitely glad I pre ordered this title. The basic menus hid the true glory that was revealed the instant game was entered. Wow totally blown away by how well this works at this early stage.

Unlike many other early assess titles I've bought into, this one goes me total confidence of its completion.

Can't wait to see this title develop and the artist flesh out the Frontend menus etc.

[SerrialKiller]

I want to thank the deffs for theyr quick reply and help they offrrd me. i got my key and i will soon launch the game and start to play ut and see if i be able to find some bugs. Awsome job for the defs again making an game in a time that not manny defs dear to touch.

[Roadkill]

Just to add to the other comments, this is already looking fantastic. Also noticed how friendly the chat and banter is from other players which is always a good sign. Well done guys!

[Gunnyhighway]

I Agree, congratulations to the developers for their genuine concept and its realization.

 

It has been a nice experience in its majority, to play that game.

[Balck]

Must fun I've ever had in the genre.  Keep it up, you've got a gem in your hands.

[andyw]

As a huge fan of the genre in writing I have been waiting awhile for this.  I am loving it, you guys have done a great job so far.  The cannon sound is amazing.  I am so happy with it so far that I havn't touched anything else for days.
