Justme Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm not the most computer literate guy out there, but seeing the devs talk about unity 5 makes me wonder. What does unity 5 really mean to the future of NA, and is it really worth the potential delay it will cause switching to it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Texas Sir Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Going to proper 64 bit system would let the game be way more optimized than it is now or ever would be on current Unity. They can add more ships and items. I think they have mentioned they have hit there in game object limit and had to remove some ships to add other things. A lot more control over things they can put in detail wise in game. I'm sure some one more computre sazzy than myself will come along and add more, but it's a good thing. Really surprised it wasn't in the works as Unity 5 has been out a while. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlavDeng2 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I remember RUST made the change, and it performed better and looked better and IIRC the object limit increased before things got laggy on the server, with that said, the change to Unity 5 was a long process so id expect the same here, with that said, no clue how it would translate in NA, never used Unity 4 myself(well i have, but a long time ago and only smaller projects) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdWatchmaker Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sir Texas Sir, thanks so much for the video clip. It led me down a path of videos that has greatly increased my knowledge and appreciation of open world games and how they are made. I didn't know what engine this game was using, looks like Unity 5 would be a great move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 We cant have more ships without an engine upgrade. That alone is reason to upgrade. Dont forget all the optimization we will get as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rychu Karas Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Its not a true, upgrade to the new engine version is only an OCASTION, not a reason for migration to 64 bit. Of course, its a very good news, but dont expect the revolution for the gameplay. It will not solve any design issue. Its only an open gate for further possible changes.

Koltes Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 @admin does it means 50 vs 50 in battles? Or maybe no instances? We sail and fight in the OW? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not expect anything new please. The switch has purely technical reasons: 32b unity 4.6 cannot build a game due to memory limitations. As a result adding new assets became impossible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdWatchmaker Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 From what I learned today, thanks to Sir Texas Sir, give us Unity 5. We are testers, you and us will sort it out. Okay, I'll agree there'll be a lot of pain. HAHAHAH, without that, how do we know we're alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst would be sea monsters and zombie pirates ships, with magic fireball spells raining from the sky.

"Yay im part of a 50 ships blob so doesnt matter if I dont perform well" Oh and naval action isnt strictly an rvr game - its a sandbox. Back in the day, portbattles isnt the only thing that happened. And lets not forget that there was also a time before the OW. Edited July 5, 2017 by Liquicity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to be being part of a blob and fighting another blob winning against a faction as I enjoy some small OW pvp. You don't, we all know that for some time now Was just sort of confused by your statement that the more numbers can join a battle, the better , because "it's an rvr game", when its a sandbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can also see issues, once it becomes obvious someone's going to lose, say it gets to 12-35 then it's probably going to lose its appeal to the 12.

Pad Seayew Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I look forward to more assets, I hope that includes more variety in the OW, for instance, more unique towns and landscapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
