Sin Khan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Can we learn more about this "instance" feature and how it will work. Right now everyone is just guessing it seems. This is very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austrum Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Guess there are still population issues. Part of the reason I haven't been playing is because for 4 days in a row there weren't enough people on to get a decent match so the lack of people might actually be because of the low population. Also I was selected to be in the Closed Beta Test for World of Warships so I have transitioned over to that while I am waiting for new content/more people to start participating in Naval Action again. Speaking of new content, shouldn't we be having some new ships coming along soon? I mean I think we are still missing the Mercury Brig, the 2 La-whatever Frigates and the Ingermanland all slotted to be out in the Spring of 2015 and we only have about 6 weeks left till Summer.

Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Can we learn more about this "instance" feature and how it will work. Right now everyone is just guessing it seems. This is very important. Please click the little gear next to the search box at the top of the page. Once that form loads, put "Instance" into the Find Words field, and "Admin" into the Author field. Click each result and you'll get a good picture of what the Devs have planned for instances. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean LaPointe Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Alas, I too missed the purchasing of the game and now holed up ashore waiting for a new tide to come in. When it does I am on west coast of the United States and cannot wait for the opportunity to set sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifleman57 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi guys. Well, if I could get into the alpha, I'd be right there with you. I'm a miniature gamer, and Napoleonic naval was my favourite. Just waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaaru62 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 7pm on a wednesday in usa and there are a whole 35 people logged on. we lose people daily and the more we lose the more imbalanced small matches get leading to more people not playing. its any ones guess how low it will get before nobody is playing.

We don't think its a problem. The sea trials focus test have ended. Closing them won't make it better for those who still want to sail from time to time.

Prater Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Karu, we had 12 before the youtubers started broadcasting, and before Sea Trials I've heard it was lucky to have more than 2 or 3 on. I think we just need to have 2 players starting countdown again instead of three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyrattus Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 We are kind of in a rut at the moment, people are not logging in to play since there is not enough enough people to play against, it is the same old faces all the time. I am sure the devs in their infinite wisdom will sell a few more alpha keys soon to let more people in, I for one am really glad they have limited the number of slots as it tells me this is not another cash grab, I was one of the suckers that purchased The WarZ and got stung by it.

Vilsten Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I just got the game today so not sure who it was earlier, but 40 ish people on a friday night on an alpha that is near the end of the current test phase sounds pretty good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaghan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think we're seeing the effect from three factors coming together: Experienced players such as myself playing shorter sessions due to the increasing lazck of teamwork as a higher and higher percentage of players are either novice and/or young; players in general taking a break from the game, a PVP arena is not enough to keep us coming back consistently; finally some players avoiding playing too much before open world so as to not burn themselves out before the game is even made. Just my two pence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rackham Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Most people that I know from teamspeak and playing have moved onto other games (world of warships, Euro truck simulator, Farming simulator, Warthunder) to name just a few, most of them stopped playing because of the fall in population online so there were few big games to be had, this leads to more people quitting because the games get smaller and smaller so its a self fulfilling cycle. Lots of people are waiting with baited breath for damage model 4.0 it will surge up when that comes online and then even more when open world testing begins. Personally I got to the Santisma then played a few games with that and every now and then i come on and sail the victory (best ship in the game in my opinion) and thats all I do, hopefully new testing phase will begin soon and our old population levels will return (500-600 online) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I had several Large Battles last night,so players are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigand Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just an idea. Maybe you guys could organize a battle in a weekend. See if there is enough people interested initially, pick a date (picking a date at least 7 days in the future usually gets the best response), make a loud announcement on the forums and try to get as many people fighting it out as possible. If the community organizes this, I'm sure Game Labs would wholeheartedly approve. Maybe they'll even join the fight :-) ~Brigand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meraun Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I had several Large Battles last night,so players are out there. well taht werent large battles to be honested... 15 players is a medium battle 25 + is a big one. at least it used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkyway12 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Or how about these release that open world test. That's what i want. Screw sea trails. I want the open world, freedom, adventure, exploration .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kang Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Back in the dinosaur days of hard media, we wouldn't even be playing sea trials at this point so i just kind of see this as all gravy. And the only thing worse than a slow release is a broken release. /fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We had a fantastic match yesterday evening, more than 15 ships, nice battle with good people Reminded me of the old times when servers where full with people. Just to let you know admin: I (and many others) dont need to have open world today or tomorrow, take your time to design a nice environment. What we need is you to open the gates for the arena mode, hand out more keys to new people, fill the game with life again, even if the content is "limited". Arena mode is still fascinating after 460 games, every match is different as long as there is a large enough pool of players. We can entertain ourselfs in the next months, new faces will enrich our environment, the old guys can teach the new guys and vice versa 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You talking like it was a long time since the servers had 300 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 All it would take is for people who already have keys to make the choice and simply log back in instead of not logging because of 'few' players. Then the mass battles of before and 300+ users would return. Earth-shattering insight I know However, it won't happen and we'll cruise along until OW with the same groups on daily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
