  • Trying to improve our game

Let's Start again:

So. Why people are playing only on events? What the events are giving that people come back and play?

That's part of what I want to know, first of all, so that we can give something to the not so old guys what they want.

The oldest ones are always playing. I see Bwoopsy, Opnite, Gauchoarg, hashhead666, Barryaxl and many others still playing. What do they need to keep doing it?

What do the new players want or need? 


We need to improve a little on weekends and a lot during the rest of the week.
Medals was ment to improve players assistance but it's failling. Why is that? Isn't good enough the prizes you can buy with this?


My thoughts:

We need more than XP. Maybe a full time Wheel of fortune, exactly like it was on christmas event. So ten games must be played in order to be activate it.
On events 25 or a number of assistances must be completed to achieve a different price, like Event ships or Expert packs.
That should help the new and the mid term players.

CAP all abilities? So that Super Elite crew should not overrun the others. I guess this is only for fighters or Engineers, everything else is capped, right? That has to be with Noven0's Post.

Don't know what can we offer to the oldest guys.

The game isnt broke. It needs to be adjusted to todays requirements. Old and new can play if the game is adjusted properly. 

Old players can play down. Newer players cannot play up....... Bismark vs Charlemagne. LMAO.

Anyway.

Plenty of suggestions have been made. Ones that the GMs can impliment with ease.

One that you just suggested: A permanent type event. Even other games do this. Drops and perks.

But no. Per usual. Deaf ears. They dont even post anymore in the forums yet they mention that they are working on a new nation.

Well lets hear anything about that ? Nope wont happen.

You People are just funding the GMs and other games they are developing. Not NF.

Well Said .. There is no one here to look or read your post ..
GMs are making a porn site\ new OTHER game\ Playing\ Dating but not doing the GM thing in NF any more .. T.S has been waiting for months for some players, even Zeta who been helping now is dead .. Vinnson well he is developing a moblie game to get some $$ for his own .. Who can blame him .. SDE not paying them shit. Other old GMs quit the company due to no payments .. 

We are playing a sinking ship game, that has no future except of reguler days on GMs calender to give the puppys an event so they stop Woofing !

Sorry I do not want to be pessimistic but the gm apparently does not look at the forum. Your point is good and interesting but the GM does not seem to interest you. The game is dead, we have to wait and see what happens.
Greetings.

This is the biggest problem :


Noob BB6s north.  Both. Always same story.  

2 possibilities :

1) NO BB6 / 6,5 / 7 in GB   (even if extreme solution in my opinion)
2) max  2 BB6 (or above) in GB, so max 1 BB6 per team
 
Just to avoid to find 2 noobs BB 6s  north.


At moment is pretty hard leveling without event, if you consider  1 or max 2 rooms running at same time. When you find those LAZY players using BB6s, not for leveling, just for farming without a purpose......... it's not nice.

1) Ban BB/CV 6+ from GB!
2) First 5 wins a day exp 300%!
3) Weekends double exp (and maybe random drops)!

Not sure if that is the MAIN problem, but for sure one of the most annoying.

Biggest problem imho is the lack of people. So the exp sucks, rooms take a lot to start, new players are farmed so they leave few days after installing the game, old players with old standars crews (+12 110 vets? lol, I still have those) cannot level up ships below bb5/6 (here comes again the noob bb6/7s issue... even if they suck, they outrange, outrun and outdamage little ships... if you give an ak-47 to a monkey, even if he cannot aim, bullets will still kill you... you get the point)

The last thing this game needed were 49 knt BBs, kaiser range montys and auto-aiming charlemagnes with buffed SD...

But again... they just aim to squeeze the last bucks out of this before letting the game die.

OP:

What I think one by one,

Events have 2 effects: they bring people looking for free stuff, and therefore they bring people looking for more populated games too. Im more into the second group, I would play more on week days if there were more than 1 GB open at a time... Waiting 10 mins to play a game is annoying.

We know what they will not ever have: Nice graphics, Smooth engine, Lag-less experience, O.S. compatibility, 3 games in a row without crashes... What can this game offer then? An unique experience and gameplay, well mixed MMO and RTS during battle, and a RPG-like flexibility at the time of setting up a ship or crew, with lots of choices.

So, if the gameplay experience if the main strnght of the game, they should aim to let the new players play. Thats why most of us see as a problem the lack of blitzkriegs and the farming of little ships by the big guys. Unless a new player can share an account with anyone and look how a big ship plays, they will get pissed and leave fast.

Medal earning in battle is so random and rate is so poor that farming everyday during months to get the same ship that you may have but with a new paintjob is stupid. (taking in account that you cannot get EBB 6.5 and 7 with medals, the ones that are actually different from line ships)

For sure. But it helps a lot... Since we have less battles running, with less ships and taking more to start, experience per hour is really poor. You cannot rush a grind if you play 3 games per hour. More exp gives a reason to grind a new crew. And helps a lot for new players, since this game comapred to others is terrible slow without events.

More events will help a lot, but good ones (few 300% exp weekends, or many 150% / 200% days) BUT everyday running events will NOT help, if it runs everydaym, its not an event, people will get tired and all will be the same as now soon. Events should be different to normal days.

To the day to day, I think more like the x2 system (maybe expand to x5 in first win, or even better x2 in each nation's 1st win)

Don't know what can we offer to the oldest guys.

I would like that. Repair, Speed, SD, Reload are already capped... We could cap overheat time so nobody runs forever (like 350, 400 sec max), cap the fighters to lower levels (if there is a cap already, it need lots of vets to reach), cap the BB6/6,5/7 out of GBs (or maybe max 2, 1 per side. Cap SS 5 & 6 resistance, lower air reload (they reload full airtank in a single smoke, its a joke)... Not trying to be and old conservative, but every change they do to the game widens the gap between new/leveling/poor crews players, and the top level ones.

 

PD Gracias por el nombramiento jajaja No me considero un veterano del juego, pero para los estándares de hoy somos cada vez menos :C

Como la sigan cagando van a quedar nada mas que los chiniten de tarjeta de credito feroz.

gaucho i agree with you on all of your statements except 1 . Why no exp boost all the time ? i still do remember back in 2014 early 2015 before Karma made the game dies , we had so many ppl playing coz of the exp boost . Im sure if vinsonn applies 200% exp boost per weekdays permenant and 300% on weekends , we will have 500-600 ppl online during the weekdays , which are like 7-8 GBs going on . Trust me people will not be bored of constat exp boost .

Grinding credits has been a staple since the very begining. Couldnt afford something, borrow creds from FMs or goto the shylocs. Ive still got a laundry list of owed creds. Just bring the trade back so we can cash out our accounts before you murder this game anymore Vinnison. I mean thats the only reason i saw of removing trade, the fact that everyone started abadoning ship and selling their sailors on different FB pages.
