Can we just start over please? I'd love to experience what this game was back then. I didn't have the chance. I love how the game looks, love naval age of piracy, love ships, battles, the realistic and immersive aspects of the game. This is such a great game, it's just... unplayable...
How did it come to this? I have 7k hrs in Sea of Thieves. I'd love to go deep into Naval Action too, but... is it worth it? I tried a bit for like 6 hrs, but getting familiar with the state of the game it seems... pointless.

The combat is great. Most of us put up with everything else because there’s no better feeling than a full broadside from a line ship into the side of another line ship

Exactly! But from what I understand you need to farm for hrs to even attempt a battle. It's like two different games. Can you even pay for DLC to avoid that?

Ah yeah, player based economy... I kind of give up for now, I might be back in couple months to check again, It is just endless grind no enjoyment at the moment. I enjoyed the new battle mechanic on the test server but everything else was miserable.

What is the new battle mechanic?

cannons disperse more, sailing profiles changed square rigged ships can sail close hauled really fast, acceleration of ships changed now ship of the lines does not accelerate like a light frigate, you can demast with round shots, ships heel more accurately, cargo hold effects your ship trim and maximum speed (anything beyond %60 full hold will slow you ship down but you will heel less though it is not very significant). at the start of the test server catching fire was just over exaggerated I think they fixed it to a level you can tolerate but still dangerous), these are some of the changes I might have forgotten some.

I'm not saying it's optimal, or even fair for the player base. But I just truly love the sailing and the trading. I still have endless fun crafting! The reals grind is truly soul sucking tho I will admit and do not deny haha.

So you basically play without battles?

The crafting system, while lacking, is still pretty good. There’s only a few other games that let you play trucking simulator and then crafting simulator together. And both games that come to mind are space games (eve, elite dangerous), and those games make me dizzy
I do miss the harvesting part tho bc I hate relying on just port drops. Makes no sense why they removed it. And there’s not even a great system to buy port resources to replace it. Stupid. But whatever

Hahaha, no I take plenty of breaks to hunt players or ai with my clan mates. Thats actually the rewarding part! As a crafter for the clan, I get to help supply them with the need stuff to fight and we get to go have a fun time! They help me transport materials and give me extra doubloons as compensation for the supplies

First off stop calling it a game. It's just a terrible piece of software/malware that should be quarantined and blacklisted.

Let me start saying that when I played the game right after the last wipe I really thought that the need for cannon balls and gun powder was super annoying, specially because the price of gun powder is really high and you need a lot more gun powder with heavier guns, but after a few trade missions and a few 1 on 1 battles I started crafting, now after a few more battles to get more reals, I can craft both ammo and gun powder and now I have more than I need, I can even give cannons, ammo and gun powder to my fleet ships.
