Lets go for 80%, the remaining 20 can be for alts.

I really would find it funny if 70% of the playerbase became Russian tomorrow . Careful what you wish for my friend or should i say "comrade" from after maintainance

I highlighted the main problem, few will trade goods (risk) when more can be made with almost no risk (ok capped AI trade brig). In most games higher risk translates to higher reward (profit). Personally i think delivery missions should be less profitable for reals than trading goods. I must be wrong as they have had 3 years of testing, so plenty of time to get balance right.

Ooof! That was harsh! (but funny )

Sorry i seem to have entered a thread dedicated to the Jeremy Kyle show. Quietly leaves....

Now with port investment bonuses etc what do you think will happen when first clan/national bonus ports get taken? Getting a port up with guntowers, port bonuses, etc has already been such a drain on players time that only the most dedicated will strive to build again. I seriously hope i am wrong on this but appears to me that any great effort to destroy a nations shipbuilding effectiveness may have greater repercussions on overall game/national populations (Bridgetown for example would have been a disaster for them). Good luck with the RvR and hoping many battles will take place going forward. For myself at least I have limited interest in RvR and prefer raiding or whatever, but when pushed by national needs will take part when required.

Player see Dubloon cost of level 3 shipyard after spending week getting level 2.

Would be nice to have career total of sunk BR, kill/deaths, distance sailed etc. Also use stats for Epeen tables for all time/month.

Is ok been idiot

Server been ok, maybe time not on though.

Yes Pandora is fine ship

If alliance system could make if nation own over 50% of port on map that alliances change (grand coalition) against nation until back to lower amount. Still no post from dev about this if coming or not.

It will be ok or not, just enjoy game wait see what happens. I feel some people here not welcome at weddings, would tell bride and groom they look forward to divorce. 😂 Maybe all not perfect, but not enjoy game play other game. Go play Path of Exile, pokemon go or whatever get fun from. Being Jonah and predicting doom is fun? Also tried Path of Exile and was not as great as guy says, I thought was boring play perhaps 1 hour.

Biggest killer of South American tribes during Spanish conquest was smallpox, Typhoid and other diseases brought with European sailors. Local populations had no resistance. Not something that could be predicted at time. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/salmonella-aztec-epidemic-millions-killed-1545-dna-enteric-fever-typhoid-central-america-a8161421.html https://www.pastmedicalhistory.co.uk/smallpox-and-the-conquest-of-mexico/

No does not worry me, isn't my game and money made. Free play weekend though would fill server at release, show game with good population. Perhaps even some would buy game as result.

Is easy to get players on release, just make free play weekend. I see many games doing same on steam, and games i try buy quite often.

No word from devs about release, feeling more like funeral. Only post about this game, new game.

Watching conversation is same as viewing animated GIF, same again and again 😂 . Also thankyou Wraith for description of Naval Action as ship screensaver, made me cough with coffee .

Perhaps is language barrier that create illusion of lack of thought, also intelligence is relative to situation so for me avoid questioning intelligence of another. For example what use is rocket scientist when surviving in jungle or desert, local people may not know math but can survive and have knowledge critical for situation/survival. To be fair to yourself though he did start the negative slant with dismissing previous posts . Here i agree with what you say, should be more input from dev team and what future of game should/will be as move on past release. From player viewpoint appears perhaps dev team sick of time spent on Naval Action or out of resources to continue to advance game without income. Possible is reason for rushed release to gather more players and sell more DLC but devs i agree should be clear on position. Another possibility is that release and sales post release will seal fate and longevity of game overall, and so isn't mentioned due to this as people would not buy game that is on life support. One thing i would suggest is that we all stop bickering on forum, is open window to future potential playerbase to view situation before buying (not pointed at wraith but everyone from polarized positions). Perhaps is part of issue of player retention and new sales of game, can be percieved as being toxic as text lacks context and meant joke can be seen as much darker depending on readers position/perspective. I to was sad to find promises broken, but makes sense for wipe especially on PvP server (I also 90% sure devs said once no DLC for example). If I thought was a "battle" worth fighting i would also post and question devs, but decision been made and perhaps reasons are financial based to try hold new players joining on release (if there are any i am realist). Perhaps what all can agree on is Naval Action has something other games do not and is why we play whether Elite player/group or food for others. We should maybe focus on great things about NA (combat mechanics for example) and put aside other issues until release done and results of all realised by devs. Would be great pity for current players to be part of downfall of game, and we should all think more before posting (myself also - everyone) .

Perhaps you should read over what you type and then hopefully figure out why you have no social life and are obsessed with a game that matters not.

Is not about game or what devs do that give discomfort, more using analogy of genocide to that of server wipe. Is like comparing schoolyard fight to WW2. I not very happy about server wipe either, but is same for all. Is not end of world or replay of Khmer Rouge in Camdodia. Perhaps get out more and not live in basement, game wipe not big thing and much more pressing matters in world outside your own headspace. Play or not play is easy decision, make it.
