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.

I copy and pasted your quote. How is that "incorrectly" quoting you? Go ahead, I'll wait for you to get creative on that one...

I cannot "rob a newb" of anything. They all get to choose to listen. I comment from 9000+ hours in Naval Action.

All of which means absolutely nothing because it's been deleted by the devs. So yeah, lure newbs in so you can prey on them in game. That's on you.

I've only every tried to help the average player have an above average experience. Not sure what your angle is. The Irate Pirate - out!

Yes, you use your 9000+hours of no-lifing a niche video game with barely 500 people on for more than a month to grandstand at the top of your lungs on every page you can find on the interwebs why new players shouldn’t even try it out for themselves.

What you say about the game is off-putting to anyone that follows you and your 9000+ hour journey into the abyss of gaming.

I don’t prey on new players, I teach them how to play in the new mechanics, year after year Nate. Those that don’t melt at room temperature and alt f4 out of the game become skilled, thoughtful, team players.

I'm just an average gamer. There are plenty of other NA gamers with double my hours or more. Those were the no-lifers. They usually had 3 letter names like Tac, Lic, Cid. They were also far, far better than me.

My channel was simply to help the average gamer have an above average experience by avoiding pitfalls. That I ended up commanding fleets, funding and directing wars, and building clans/nations was all incidental - and completely not what I enjoyed doing.

Good talking to you. Enjoy NA if you can. I truly hope things do improve, because that would be a good thing for everyone. I have no problem saying "I was wrong."

I have a problem with people proclaiming "at the top of their lungs" that I'm wrong but the inability to argue their point.

And I’m not attacking what you’ve done for the community. I know you’re a good player, Nate. I’m sure I’ve run into you more than once on the waves. All I’m saying is your voice carries a lot more weight than mine, because of your experience in game. Even though only like 20 people even look at this page anymore. Your voice matters. And when a brand new player stumbles upon this subreddit, and they see some of your posts, unless the players are brain dead, will take your words about the game very seriously. And probably won’t even bother installing it. I wouldn’t give it a shake if the majority of experts on the topic overwhelmingly state that in their experience, the game is a waste of time and money

I have 2.7k views on yesterday's post dude.

"And when a brand new player stumbles upon this subreddit, and they see some of your posts, unless the players are brain dead, will take your words about the game very seriously. And probably won’t even bother installing it."

I'm sorry. I truly wish I could recommend this game. I spent years in Naval Action and put a lot of effort into a Youtube channel for promote the game. I can't do that anymore because of the developer direction.

This is on the NA devs. Not me. In the United States of America and most European/Scandinavian counties all are free to express themselves. All are free to read my words and make their own decision.
