OneEyedSnake Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Likes, harder to get lineships, and about the right difficulty as well i like the fleet concept for raising hostilities not teleporting to free ports has turned into a blessing, sometimes annoying, but better than not. i know the teleport thing is temporary right now, but with the 5 hour cooldown it's actually really balanced, and doesn't break anything how commander perks work, MUCH BETTER than the officer perks Crafting Cannons Having to buy full sets of Cannons The Dutch Players are the kindest in the game, seriously, best least toxic, most fun loving community of the game, seems to be both EU and Global. Something about being the most barren nation makes for nice people. Dislikes, Arsewipes that should be drug along the keel of my Indefat not giving a crap about anyone but themselves and lieing (looking at a certain nation, you know who you are) Fleet composition in the south seems VERY OFF. Like 9/10 fleets are not Spanish, rather AMERICAN AND BRITISH. What. (Have reported through F11) AI have gotten their speed reduction taken away on open world and are now a pain to catch Missions. Just no. Stop. NEVER take away combat. If I want to go out in a first rate and kill an AI cutter then let me. It's funny. Now I can't. Bad Balancing of low level missions. A cutter taking on a brig, ehhh. RIP newbies. RIP. Cannons. I like them, but a bit too expensive to buy at lower tiers. 5th-7th rates should not cost so much to outfit, these are the news tiers and first slug tier, it's important that these be nicer on the learning curve UI still no tutorial RIP newbies that don't say anything in chat or ask for help. Economy is a little weak, but is close to being right, I'm thinking once everyone is not all trading at once this won't be as bad. MOST ANNOYING THING. Easily the progression line for perks, Willis' suggestion would be ideal, Conclusion, Overall this patch (despite the how many negatives there is) is WAY BETTER THAN NOT. The concept and direction is excellent! For the most part balance just needs to be looked at harder, especially at lower tiers. We want our new players to enjoy the game, not feel the grind immediately and decide this game takes too much time. Hook them. I am overall enjoying the game, I feel challenged, yet can see a clear line of how to get on top. I just worry for the new players. Edited May 30, 2017 by OneEyedSnake 2
William Death Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 I agree with most of your thoughts. Also, I still think there is a bit too much grind in the economy, and the PVP multiplier for XP is too low for the risk involved vs PVE. 34 minutes ago, OneEyedSnake said: MOST ANNOYING THING. Easily the progression line for perks, Willis' suggestion would be ideal, (don't have the link at the time of writing this, will put it in when I get up in the morning or after work tomorrow.) I especially agree with the above here is the link for you: I fear, if this grind is not lessened and replaced with something like my system, that players will start leaving in mass exodus as soon as they do enough grinding to get a couple slots opened on their favorite ship, only to find it needs another ship opened, then another, then another, etc. A few more points: I do disagree with the removal of TP to free ports, I think it will reduce PvP, but time and a bit more testing will tell for sure. I also think the cost of crafting some ships, especially fifth rates, is too high. Market definitely needs some adjusting to make it a bit less "afk sailing and trading." Lastly, I gotta correct you, PIRATES are the best nation in game! 2
VonBarb Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 No argument there. I also find that everything has become too expensive and hard to come by, especially guns. I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to boost up AI production to compensate for what the budding economy is failing to provide in sufficient numbers.
