Hello again Comrades in 2d WWII Naval Combat. I come before you again with intresting news from our brothers in Europe and Asia. As of late, all hope in SDE and the future of NavyFIELD as a whole has been slipping away, as the release of 2 Major Games (or features in a game) draw closer.
It's quite understandable at this point, to be doubtful about the future of SDE and it's flagship franchise (no pun intended.) But after scrolling through my Facebook today, I ran accross a post by NavyFIELD 2 EU's Page. Now, it seems, SDE has done a 180 degree turn in terms of game design and mechanics.
First up, on the EU NF2 Servers, the following items have been removed from the Item Shop:
- All Premium Ships
- All 30 day items
- All Officer Supplies
- Schemes
- All Permanent Expansion Items
- Additional Premium Slot Items
- 20mm AA MG
- Unknown Supplies
Along with this, a SECOND, yes SECOND Closed Beta test is being launched in Korea. And the intresting thing about it? I don't see a Nexon Logo anywhere on the CBT Site. It seems as if it ispurely SDE running it.
Some of the announced features of this "2nd Launch" you may ask?
- Brand new interface (And boy does it look nice.)
- New ship remodel system
> Also includes a ship tree that starts with DD Ships (Old school NF1 tech tree! No more starting with a Battleship at Level 1!)
- Exchange of the Main Fleet System with the old Single Ship System of NF1 (No more taking 3 ships into a battle, no more respawns, no more of that nonsense!)
- New Fleet Interface
- Optimized Matchmaking System
> Now, it is also planned to start a group match, so you can play together with your friends
- Optimized Ship Textures (Makes the game look better. Durp.)
- Weather Effects (Makes the game look better, AND affects gameplay!)
Not only that, but these are not even all of the features of this "2nd Launch". The list here is simply a list of the largest of the changes so far. NF2 EU's website has promised to display lots of screenshots and footage in the near future aswell, but until then, enjoy what I've managed to find so far!
