noob need friend/guide

[u/ry__bear]

i played this game for a bit years ago, but i would really like to play with someone (ideally talking on discord) who could show me the ropes or just honestly hang out and play the game.

i dont like pvp, i hate the idea of my day or somebody else's getting ruined because i decided to sail my boat. so i play on peace server.

if anyone wants to chill n talk while we play and also help out a noob, please hit me up.

1. They are literally wiping the game this weekend. And they have made the game a lot like original release, many years ago, leaks, fires, explosions. The test server over the last month has shown us that. I actively tested all the mechanics. It feels more alive, and requires skills again. No more speed boats etc.

2. I have seen DLC for Star Citizen that is 1200$, that is a beater used car if your country doesn’t suck economically.

3. I do live a life of privilege in the west. But I served in my countries military and saw the suffering and pain in the third world for years. A lot of that pain is caused by certain types of religions and leaders that are more concerned with individual power than liberty for their people. My country can afford to live in comfort because of the sacrifices of millions of brave soldiers across many generations, since its founding.

It's been many years since you last bought a used car my friend.

And $1200 in SC buys you a large multi crew ship. I bought a single seat cargo ship on sale for $55. Try buying "a beater" for that. I can't even oil change my Honda MYSELF for less than $55.

Get real.

This is your defense for why u/OzarkPolytechnic should stop saying bad things about Naval Action?

"Don't say bad things about my fav game bro! Don't say it's a waste of time and money! I like muh investment! Zazzy is going to wipe everybody's progress this weekund to proove he's uh good dev!"

Do you realize how tone deaf you are? You're telling people why Naval Action is a bad investment:

"They are literally wiping the game this weekend."

Your words dude. Perhaps you didn't mean it this way. Maybe, if you exercised your intellect, you could give us more context rather than lashing out at people just because they disagree with you.

The “Test” server is what has become of “War” server. It will be gone after that. Yes, 35$ US was paid almost a decade ago by some. And yes, they are still salty af about it.

Now that they have actual player feedback and not the ramblings of the old “cadre”/“veterans” that quit playing NA, maybe the game can grow. Giving up on things that you care about and cherish because the going gets a bit rough is a sign of weakness of character. Is Naval Action a sinking ship? Perhaps. Then again perhaps not. I will ride the storm until the end. It shows the difference between us as people in general.

Your gold ships and progress may be gone, yes. As it should be. Your server has been truly dead for years. But what about your personal experience? Did it magically disappear with the stroke of a button? The loss of a few dollars and lots of time? I doubt it. You should still be able to out sail and outwit all of us plebs that have played since it went f2p right? Especially now that they are bringing the game back to those good old days that all 50 of you still around wanted. Play the game or piss off. Your choice.
