My over all game feed back.

[kitsunelegend]

First off, I want to leave my feedback for the recent Deadman's chest feed back, as this thread was originally going to be about, but it kinda went a little further than that...

 

Basically, it was a complete waste of time for the PvE server. Only one person can get the chest? Seriously? If you're not within spitting distance of the event you may as well not even acknowledge its even a thing.

 

And really, did you guys even TRY working on this broken af "event" before trying to implement it again?

 

You devs keep showing time and time again, that you absolutely no idea where you want this game go development wise. You keep basically throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks, even though if you had applied a little bit of thought you'd clearly see the major issues with it. I understand the game is still in early access, but that is no excuse for being lazy, cutting major corners, having no direction for the game, and just....overall not really seeming to care at all about how you're developing this game.

It has so much potential yet you keep squandering it by going around in circles, going back on most if not all decisions, taking things out, putting them back in only take them out again later on, and just... a seemingly lack of caring about this game's future.

 

I'm sorry if this seems overly critical, but there is going to be a breaking point in your remaining players where they simply give up and stop caring about the work you do, and go and play something else. Many players have already done so, and if you don't get your asses in gear soon, the rest will surely follow.

 

One of the major things this game needs, is more content. New things for players to play with. New ships, new features that are fun. Bug fixes, hp tweaks, pricing tweaks, AI adjustments, and changing the name of marks is NOT what you should call "content". I don't give a crap if you're a small dev team, that is NOT content any way you look it.

 

Heres an example of the content you should be adding.

 

1) For almost the entire time we've had the open world, people have been asking for ways to find your current location via the in game map. A sextant, the ability to write on the map to mark interesting locations for future exploration, and just basic navigational tools that most if not all captains had during the time period represented in this game. Yet only NOW have we gotten a protractor...its a start, but thats about it.

2) Things to do on long trips. Mini games, navigation, star gazing, an actual interactive fishing mini game, a way to practice gunnery. So many things to keep a player entertained while on long voyages. Just SOMETHING FFS.

3) New UI. Need I even go into this? You're current UI is, quite frankly, utter garbage. Its terrible, broken, and actually scares people away from the game. The golden rule, is that your UI is the first thing that a new player sees. If its awesome, it'll draw them into the game. If its shitty, unfinished, buggy af, and looks like garbage, it'll turn them away faster than a stinking beggar with polio and oozing warts.

4) New animations for ships and fighting. I understand wanting to keep the game friendly to older systems, but that is NO excuse to make the players with high powered machines suffer with barely anything interesting to look at while fighting and sailing. Hell, the least you could do, is add the bloody captain on to the ships wheel! I mean, its a single extra character sprite, it ain't that hard to do.

5) Add in an actual moon. You have the sun, but the moon is nowhere to be seen. In fact, how about just adding in the actual star systems for a change? Last I checked, you just had random white dots all over the sky. You didn't even bother to add in constellations.

Those are to just name a few...

Lastly, give us a road map for the game. Show us, the players, that you have a direction for this game. Show us that you give a shit, and actually do care. Where do you want this game to go? What do you want add into this game? What kinds of things are you hoping to add in soon? I've looked, and haven't seen anything recent, and that alone tells me that even YOU don't know the answer to that question. Make a road map, and then stick to it like a bee sticks to honey.

 

Basically, as my favorite youtuber once said about another certain game company...

 

"Game Labs. Fix your shit."
