There is no doubt in my mind that you are correct, however, it seems logical to have a proper test of the full system before release. At release would be a bad time to discover a major problem. Maybe another test bed server, but those don't get a lot of love. Add a reward for the hardcore testers who tough it out, maybe.

Or it's gonne be even more "impossibler" (sic) Well if your going to play impossible mode than that what you have to deal with. Other wise pick a real nation if you want ports. Or as some did go capture them. 1 hour ago, Serk said: It means nothing, knowing the real wipe is just a few weeks away. I expect the server to be less populated until release.

Dibbler (Retired) Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) The biggest thing about the new mechanic that is messed up is that only capital port is needed to move onto next capital port. So could end up with capitals taken and most of associated ports in regions left neutral with nobody able to take them. Surely taking whole region before moving onto next would make more sense, as things are it is probably set for epic fail. Making nations take all ports in a region before moving on could also open up RvR for smaller clans as more capital regions need to be coloured in (taken) totally. Edited April 25, 2019 by Dibbler 4

o Barão Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 10 hours ago, znôrt said: dunno, even in its present state, and even if there are a few things i would prefer differently, i consider this the best game about the age of sail ever made, and by a huge margin. So let me see if i understand what you are saying. You consider NA the best age of sail ever made. Ok but if this is the only game in the market in this genre it is always going to be the best game. If you can tell me another naval game from this time period with multiplayer and OW i could make a comparison but there isn't any. So does it mean that being the only game in genre makes that game good? Nope doens't mean anything. NA could be the worst game and still be the best game of the genre because you don't have anything to compare with him. So what you are saying here doens't make any sense. If you ask me about the combat system, and the graphics i would say YES it is amazing game in that department , unfortanely we don't have sea trials anymore and the project Naval Action Legends was cancelled so what we have now is a beautiful naval game with complete broken OW mechanics. critizise away, that's always healthy. but keep in mind that what these two guys have achieved so far is truly remarkable. no other company, no matter the size, has gotten so far that i know of. happy to be corrected if you know of any better one, or even similar (and would appreciate). What are you trying to say with gotten so far? To create a beautiful dead game? The game is dead so i don't understand what remarkable that thing can be. I am going to explain in more details to make easier to understand. Every MMO game to be a sucess needs to follow a golden rule . "Fun to all" It needs to provide game mechanics that give every player a reason to play and have fun. The moment an MMO favours so much one player category , it creates a game so unbalance that makes the other players to quit the game leaving an empty OW not interested to play by anyone and the game will die. So what categories we have inside NA and what is the experience they have inside the game? - new player: The most terrible thing i ever saw in any MMO. There is no high sec region like EVE online for the new player learn the basics in peace and have fun. Well they could go to the pve server to learn the basics but they would need to start from zero when they comeback to the pvp server so what is the point? The moment the rookies get out to the OW they will meet the sealclubbers that want to feed their ego. If that is not terrible already the devs had the brilliant idea to release last year the first DLC ships. What that translates into the game is that for the sealclubbers it wasn't a big deal anymore if a player loses a requin or a hercules. To make things worse these 2 ships were completely broken OP when they comeout and the Requin is the fastest ship in game sailing upwind. So when in the past a seal could ask for help in chat and the vets would come to help, what is happening today is if a seal is attacking by a Requin the vets probaly would not go to help you because it is a waste fo time to chase a Requin. We need to understand what makes an MMO live for many years is the fact there is the need to protect the new game player experience so they could learn the basics and make some economy before trying anything harder inside the game. The new players are always the game future and if the new players experience inside NA only makes players to quit the game the game is always going to die. The same way if you are a father and want to give your sons a good education and prepare them the best you can for the future , it would be the devs interest to help the new player experience if they hope to see any future in their game. - casual pve player: Same thing, many players would like to play in the pvp server but still would want to the some pve mission for fun without the fear being ganked and lose the ship. So what probaly happens is they abadon the pvp server and go to the pve server. - solo player: This type of player usually understand how the game works, the big problem in this category is that he knows is playing with a big disadvantage when facing players from big clans. Woods, books, upgrades , all the good stuff he will have many problems to get them. They can but again if they lose the ship ( not DLC ship ) they take a big hit where players from Big clans doens't have that problem. - traders/crafters: This category was completely destroyed with the last economy changes you saw in the last months and now only a few continue to do something. - smaller clans: The players from this category can have a good time and make some interesting things in game, however if they don't have good relations with the big clans leaders , and this could happen for different reasons they lose any chance in being part in anything big inside the game. - Big clans: This guys control almost everything and have acess to everything they need to give them an advantage against other players. However the interesting part is that the devs destroyed so much the economy in the last patches that they give up in doing any RvR. What is the point? The ships are so expensive to craft that there is no reason to make port battles anymore. And the biggest irony is the devs always ruined the sheeps game to make the wolfs smile, and now to make more money with DLC ships they ruined the economy for all lol. This game is so F.U.B.A.R. atm. So in conlusion in 6 categories , 4 and maybe 5 are complete F.U.B.A.R. and the big clans are strugling to understand what to do inside an empty OW. I quit playing this game in November and i continue to come here hoping to see if the devs finally learned what needs to be done to save the game. And i only do this because i saw an huge potential when i first saw NA combat system. will it be a success on release? well, that depends on what you consider as such. will they get dirty rich? who knows. will it have tens of thousands of players? no idea. will it hit the twitch headlines? probably not. guess what, i don't care about any of those things, contrary to popular belief i don't think any of that, which is basically marketing and celebrity cult, is remotely related to a game being good and enjoyable or not. if the developers are fine with that, personally i'm more than happy with 500 captains on the sea, that would already be a success for me, but i'm pretty confident there will be more than that. this is early access. let them finish, let them give players a clean slate and stability to get involved and we will see how it goes. Just going to add one more thing because i am already tired. When you say "...personally i'm more than happy with 500 captains on the sea.." You are talking about 500 real players or some players and some alts? that said, you very likely know a lot more about RvR than me, im not disputing your vision, at all. it's just that theorycrafting is a lot easier than developing a game, and i'd rather have you contributing than antagonizing and pretending you know better.

You stated that you quit playing in November so if that statement is true, I am quite sure you have no clue what the game is like now... So for you not reading the patches and talk with friends about what is happening in the game is not enough. oh ok. Well if you want to know i joined the game 2 weeks ago and played only for 3 days i guess, i am not consider that time playing since what i did was more testing the delivery missions and trying to understand what was the state of the game and i also joined the pve and pvp server yesterday just to see what was the changes in the OW. The big difference is when i quit the game in November i was playing NA every day. You have a list of wants and grievances and you’re gonna beat your drum.... that is boring. Interesting for me boring is to reply to players that fail to add something to the conversation, like you. Generally, in those type of responses like yours... solutions are offered. You offered none really, just moans... more moans to join the chorus of moans here... The problem with this is that you are to lazy to read all the comments , or you could just click on my avatar and read all the posts i made. if you weren't so lazy you would understand that i shared my opinion about what could be done . But again you are just showing to us how much a fool you are. Thats what triggered my unkind remark. Help make the game better, moan less and solution more... Help make the game better, stop being a lazy and read first all the comments before opening your mouth. #solo-life #solo-idiot
