Do you have to finish the master exam for that or not? I can't remember. 280 rank after finishing the exams. And yes, the exact same problems the author of that review describes "how do I get more crew" "how do I equip guns" .... is asked in pve chat almost daily.

Then maybe new guys should get more crew without the need for the harder exams. Afterall light frigates are the easiest ships to sail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree about this, the game should rather be encouraging gameplay in light ships instead of forcing people onto to largest ones because all what they see are dlc 3rd and 1st rates, but this has been discussed so many times and the same problem appears each month with new players Edited July 1, 2020 by erelkivtuadrater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger the ship, the bigger the reward so players will want bigger. I'm not sure how you can encourage people to sail smaller ships without making large ships really expensive or reducing rewards in them. The devs have tryed it with making larger ships extremely expensive but the backlash was huge. Removing rewards or reducing them on larger ships would probably not go very well either. Its easy to say we need to encourage players to sail smaller ships but ideas on how to do it have never been well received by the community including myself. I'm sure the devs would be very open to ideas that reduce sol spam. It has been an issue since before the DLC ships too so we don't have to blame every issue on them either.

Confusion is still part of the initial experience. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198326264850/recommended/311310/ I cant imagine how life must be for this guy. He just purchased a game, jumped it disregarded the giant book with the question mark he got on the top left next to leave port, probably asked someone for money and then purchased the first ship of the line he saw on sale... Then got frustrated and left a bad review... Took him almost 2 hours to figure out he has to do the exams before he sets sail. He must be one of the people that think Call of Duty is a realistic tactical 1st person shooter game... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we don't have the right to judge over him without more background knowledge about this case. But it shows once again we actually cannot ignore issues about new players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We the players may be ignoring all the new players ?... But this is a completely different subject from the Timber, Ship building, Conquest flag, Testing subject which is the main focus of this thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Assassin Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It's too expensive & time-consuming to craft a good ship with competitive mods. Are devs trying to "kill crafting" in order to sell DLC's? Or are we just wanting no new players? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDZ_Vasduten Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 @admin The wood prices across the board need to be reduced. Labor hours increased. If the grind was say... 30% less than it is now it wouldn't be quite as painful to play this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
