Eveonline player enjoying Naval Action, it could trend

[Huffbert]

I really like the concept and how the game is still really playable at a ping of 300ms. I've not yet tried a PVP server but things seem all good on the PVE server. Currently in Eve there are some changes going on that might see some players looking for other games to play and I think Naval Action could fit the bill. I don't know how much the devs want to specialise or segregate the different activities and the ease with which all can take part but there are some really cool elements here. I especially like the tactical skill and understanding of the environment required to succeed compared to Eveonline. If some elements of Eve, the good ones, could be emulated I think you'd see a fair few converts, especially if you get themittani.com to write a piece though only if the issue of ganking gets resolved. ^^

 

Cheers and thanks for all the gold pieces,

What's to be resolved? It's not really that bad at this stage. Ganking exists in EVE too; from what I hear it's actually pretty bad. I think it's very unwise to restrict PvP. We had the 1.5 BR join restriction and there was a huge backlash from the community.

themittani.com is the news site for a corp/clan that are ganking addicts, a good community if you want any exploits found, hence the advisory. lol

I just wanted to say that I've been enjoying the game ^^

I am a 10 year vet of EVE Online and i can say this is the first game in 10 years that pulled me away from EVE Online for a short time, this game is very good but has long term killing flaws. I wrote an entire thread about that opinion about a month ago, so i wont rehash it here. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/13296-the-most-beautiful-naval-game-that-will-die-like-potbs-didhear-me-out/#entry242920

 

What i will say is that regardless of being in alpha or beta or whatever they call it now, this game will not last far past release because of two key reasons (there are others I'm sure). 1. it is not a sandbox it is a closed box and after the "awe" factor wears out in a game, without more stuff to do, other than keep taking the same old ports, players will move on. 2. It is not balanced for your carebear to your hard core pvpr. We are seeing this play out in pvp1 right now where the USA is being steam rolled by pirates and it may soon have one port left, that kills a players morale, fun and server population. On pvp2 Spain and sweden have one port, hardly anyone plays them, and players will only switch sides so much until they get sick of it. If the Devs do not come up with some solution such as several "unconquerable" ports for each nation, then the hard core pvp'r will eventually steamroll their way to an empty server and they will then just move on too. 

 

EVE online players will come to this game, declare it beautiful and very fun, but like myself realize that this game has a LONG way to go to "keep" players playing "long term" and move back to EVE Online.

 

See you around o7

Aye. The game as awesome potential and I expect the Devs will figure it out at some point this year.

Huge changes are on the way. Conquest will be different and it will keep people playing.
