Former PotBS RN, thinking of investing in Naval Action


Recommended Posts

Nice to see some familiar PotBS folks around. I was with RN since the early days, Rauri, Molly, the Macers and that lot. Would love to reconnect if anyone is around. Also, I'd love to hear how this game looks to compare with PotBS.

 

I am very tempted to throw down the cash and get in for what looks to be the next great age of sail experience, but I'm thinking of waiting until there is an immediately downloadable client. I'm not too comfortable, paying first, then waiting an indefinite and undocumented period of time for a game key.

The most you wait for a key is about a week. I only played POTBS a little bit. I really liked it but it was too arcadey for my tastes. This game however is awesome and doesn't feel that arcadey. The graphics are awesome as well. Watch some youtube videos to see how the current combat system is like. (which it is likely to change in the next few months as we go to a different damage model). I was hooked once I saw the graphics and heard the gunfire when the first videos appeared on youtube.

Keys are usually released once a week or 2x if your lucky.

 

Think POTBS slowed down with no magic skills and manual aiming and sail control.

Officially keys are sent kiev time Friday every week. There is a sticky on the forums somewhere here.

Remember this game is not even early access yet. We are simply testing battle mechanics and ship handling,,,, features etc.

atl you get some axe and some edr ig but most are waiting teamplay to be in to join.

The ames and the combat are as fun as potbs battle were but really different. You don't have any skill to press and everything is linked to your capacity to sail and use canons.

What is disapointed as a team as RN or edr or every society is that you can't atm choose your team. You may be 3rn in a figh and 1 in a team and 2 in the other team when you would have been together. It's what make us wait the game to be team friendly before joining and forming our society in

And it is still way more stables and fun than many finished games... :-)

This...  atm its simple match after match with ship progression. There is no realm mechanics or dockside detail. Decide if you'd prefer more content before you throw your cash its way, but lots of youtube out there now for you to keep up with and make a judgement.

Well I finally committed now that it's in Steam Early Access. Really enjoying myself, ran into one old RN member, definitely looking to connect with any more if they are out there. Find me in game as Zebbidiah MacGirthy.
