My thread got closed in the general discussion and been told to post it here, well, here it goes. Still think it wasn't appropriate thing to do as I want a separate discussion on my case.
Why I stopped playing Naval Action
This game is great in its own way and the only realistic and immersive AOS game on the market at the moment, but there is a few gripes about this game that puts me off.
3 major things: (first being the most critical and the last not so critical)
1. Sailing time: it takes a good chunk of your time to sail around, especially for traders and I have to be continuously present at my computer while sailing around with my goods to prevent from going through shallows or get boarded by enemy. I play other games and do stuff while sailing, but it is an off putter, especially the amount of time to sail to a given port for port battles and screening. Sailing time for battle preparations and battle can easily take 2 hours and more, which only permits me to play during weekends for port battles.
2. Port battle limitation: each nation only get 2 slots to have port battles. This prevents big and small nations from having as many port battles as they wish. Instead, captains fighting with each other for slots, accusing each other of sabotage and being selfish. Then you have always full port battles, because nobody can do any other port battles. Captains complain they can't get into port battles or excluding other captains from port battles, because they have inferior ships.
3. Development: What also bothers me is the devs are not openly with their development and talking once every week about what they currently doing. I have to sit for a month before I will see the progress being made. The devs can learn a lot from the Poles who makes Factorio. Factorio is an excellent example where the devs telling once every week, usually on a Friday, on what they are working now and bugs they identified and plans for the future.
If anyone can redirect me to a similar news feed the devs put out weekly, I would appreciate it tremendously.
Now, sorry for the wall of text, just my opinion and heres a potato.
