[Best ship to raid traders?]

Now that I have turned pirate, I am curious as to what ship is best to raid traders. It was not something I participated in before, mainly using a snow when I did.

Can't remember what my pirate rank is( changed yesterday) but my old national rank was master and commander.

 

[Free towns and docking fees]

Not a fan of charging an hourly rate for docking fee, especially if your charged when not online. There are a decent amount of players who don't spend 1/4 to 1/2 of their day playing games.

[Is Naval Action a Simulation]

Is naval action a simulation game, a guy on steam forums is upset because it says simulation in the store tag but there is too much combat involved.

 

Just curious as to players( maybe admins) thoughts on the issue.

Time will tell, hopefully we get some decent players but not going to hold my breath.

Don't really think there is gonna be a boost but hey surprise me.

Would be interesting to see the regions have the most player population, I imagine it's Europe and the U.S.

 

I would love to see around 1k on the servers at any given time, not sure that will happen.

[How will European and Asian language localizations impact game population?]

Admin stated in this thread

That once euro and Asian market language localization happens they are expecting a population boost. Do you feel this will have the positive impact the devs are expecting when it happens?

[PvP - what does it mean, captain ?]

PVP is  activity that makes a game more challenging. There are various forms of PVP, most think of direct combat, but there is also other forms.A few examples include, resource denial whether it's from raiding traders or blockades, politics to deny enemy nations powerful allies to help in war, espionage to better know your enemies plans, even recruitment to ensure  that you have the best players and leaders. All of this can be related to PVP, as each can impact a players ability to win fights, even if it's not always direct combat.

As I sit, both Koltes and Sir Texas Sir are holding a blunderbuss to the back of my head to coerce me into writing up the endorsement. Like I said, good people. 

 

If you can't trust a ringing endorsement from a guy with 2 guns to his head, what can you trust?

[Skulls and Bones (Ubisoft E3)]

Worst case turn it on for short sessions vs NA longer ones, especially on console.

 

I would view it more for goofing off as opposed to the more serious nature of NA.

[Thinking of turning Pirate]

Been thinking about going pirate, I know it's supposed to be harder, but not sure how much harder it really is, also is it as overpopulated as it was pre wipe?

How am I being insensitive, it's the community at large that won't have anything to do with players who have trouble communicating.

Pretty sad when the leader of Sorry is the only one that would give ruthless any consideration.

At best he will get a pity  invite at best from someone who doesn't want to be more of an ass than lord viscious.

Like I said the community views him as damaged goods at best. He will never get the same treatment here as others.

Not being insensitive, just stating the facts of the situation.

Great, no hope for me then, might as well delete the game.

ah... right.  Didn't see that.  Apologies..

No worries, the only clan that would take me before was Lord Vicious group before it became SORRY, I left shortly after that fiasco started. 

[So any U.S ( nation ) clans want a mostly deaf/HoH player?]

Well I've pretty much given up on solo play, any ( U.S) clans want a player who can't use voice chat? I don't plan on being part of any SOL battles, mainly raiding traders, etc.

I know I'm not exactly selling myself well here lol. 

 

Forgot ot to add, on PVP global server

None of it even compares.

If anything only two product at the moment, and being under testing, can be interesting enough to pull attention from NA now and then IMO.

SailAway and UBoot, but neither is a full package, combat, open world and mmo.

Given that Uboot has nothing to do with AOS theme, not sure why you mentioned it seeing it's set in WW2, and sail away is just a sailing sim, again not really direct competition like the games I mentioned unless your saying NA is primarily a sailing sim.

[Skulls and Bones (Ubisoft E3)]

Problem is OP is now Naval Action is facing stiff competition. SOT, this, black wake, hearts of oak, etc all look a lot more exciting compared to the OW aspects of Naval action to the average gamer.  I suspect the real reason behind the legends beta that they are starting this summer. The current swell in popularity of AOS/pirate themed games is going to potentially put a dent in NA's population.

I seriously doubt the combat they come up with will compare to NA's, but how many want to mess with the other aspects NA open world has to offer.

[Steam Reviews]

Never seen the point in reviewing an unfinished game. While I may not agree with everything that the devs are doing I can't see the benefit to anyone in reviewing an unfinished product.

[Will open world survive long term once NA legends is launched?]

Long term it use to die down after every major patch anyway, with legends i dont know what will happen...

 

But with game release who knows what will happen i just hope the game can retain atleast 4 digits online after about ~3 months

Hard to say with legends, despite what people think it will take some time to get that going as well.

I really don't see OW maintaining over 1k players at peak times at 3 months 

[Will open world survive long term once NA legends is launched?]

When players say they log in and then watch Netflix  while their ship sails in a straight line for a few hours means the devs have failed in making content in OW engaging enough to bother playing.  Might as well take a nap at that point lol.

 

[Best server for population?]

Problem I find, at least before wipe regardless of server I was on, once population got around 400 or lower it was a ghost town. Even in the " populated " areas.

[Best server for population?]

I typically play between 8:30-10:30 pm Eastren time, which PVP server would be best to start on for the best server population?

[Worth playing now if limited to 90 min - 2 hours sessions?]

Not downloaded the new patch yet, but from what I'm reading it's making me nervous about time it takes to accomplish anything.

 

Typically I'm limited to 90min -2 hour sessions a few times a week. With how much more grindy the game has become( from my understanding) is it even worth messing with anymore?
