Bullet Force

You are clearly missing the point of what this 300% bonus is meant to stop and what its not meant to stop. It is primarily designed to make it harder to sink boats by sneaking into harbors and using explosive barrels and fire gel/flame arrows. It is not designed to stop offline raiding but merely to give those who are online more time to counter ninja raiders.

It really doesn't take long at all and because you take no damage you can do multiple fights without needing to repair which also makes it cheaper. Until they up the velocity of cannon balls this kind of build will remain the meta.

The sad reality is the update won't even make much difference because it is adding content in the wrong areas. It's mostly PVE stuff when the game desperately needs proper PVP content. More guns, more melee weapons, more ship types, more cannons and in general more variation. The game currently feels very basic and linear, a very simplistic game that feels more like a shell then a full fledged game.

This bug has been around since launch and surprisingly still remains unfixed.

Well there are lot of lazy players out there like everything to be fast and easy with little effort required. That's why PVE exists and that is why we were recently given extra points for nothing. Just look at this forum, there are endless threads about the game being too hard. It is true people are leaving the game but merely because its 'hard' which it really isn't but rather there is a severe lack of content and variety. The game comes across as very generic, bland and basic.

In the natural order of things the strong survive and the weak perish but in this unnatural world called PVE even the weak and lame can flourish. As a result you have ridiculous situations such as this where people can spam endless ships and endless buildings since nothing can hurt them. Stop complaining and enjoy your PVE experience.

Yes but its not going to be adding all that much more depth. I have also suggested in a thread on how to give the game more variety and depth when it comes to PVP and combat. Players need to be given more options to design different ships with a variety of weapon loadouts.

Lol Mortar. No you can't mount that. You can mount a medium cannon or a swivel gun.

This is something that needs to be addressed. Currently in the game the fastest ships are the Schooner and the Galleon. The schooner sort of makes sense but the Galleon certainly does not. As a result of this unbalanced speed system you have a large Galleon that is very fast while a small ship like Sloop that is really slow. This basically means that Sloops serve no viable purpose in PVP since you have no endurance and it doesn't even have any speed. If you ask em the ship speed should be tier based. Galleon being the slowest, sloop the fastest. This would help ensure that there is a variety in PVP and would allow for differing and varied strategies when it came to naval combat and fleet mix up.

There isn't that many hackers, certainly not more then any other game of this type. As to 3rd party tracking, that news to me.

Dark and Light has 267 players currently playing it.... https://steamcharts.com/app/529180 I don't think we should we taking inspiration from that failed game.

The devs on here don't often get much praise but I feel in this case they deserve a giant clap. The latest patch looks very promising and is a step in the right direction. A lot of PVP players have asked for these changes for a while and its nice to see them being listened to. The changes to weight and tames were also much needed. These will allow players to move a lot of stuff around a bit faster until the addition of the crab, while the changes to taming make the tames what they should be good at farming. This will make crew organisation a lot easier especially in larger companies. An excellent change. This is by far the best change of the lot. The cart and swivel combo with NPC was not only boring but entirely skilless as well. This is a fantastic change. Another great change. This will reduce a lot of the microing of crew and make it a lot easier to keep a base maintained and fortified. This will change the raid meta a lot from mostly naked with bombs blowing ships to hopefully requiring more fleet and naval action to sink such ships. As a result there will be more large and expensive battleships being used on raids. A very good change. Overall these changes will result in a better more tactical and fulfilling PVP, that will greatly enhance the game. My only complaint is that while ranged weapons have been buffed melee has been entirely neglected and remains largely useless and most certainly in PVP.

Thx. Yes the game really does need more content. I know I shouldn't compare it to ARK because they are different developers even if many of them came from ARK but ARK had a lot of content even early on that kept players engaged.

Actually most of the claims of large companies are pointless see claims. Our company has hundreds out there in the ocean.

Have you never heard of travel company limit? It's already in the game and working.

The only reason this is in the game is too keep PVE players happy. It's pure PVE content. I guess its so they can take a break from playing farmville every once and a while.

A lot of the non Chinese ones also happen to be CS players

How would they implement this very vague idea? How could you calculate it from various random building parts? It's surprising how many folks on this forum seem to have no understanding of game design when they give these kind of suggestions.

With a lot more content this game could do quite well. The lack of content and variety atm is what is hurting it.

Meanwhile the 70% majority leave the game...

Of course they won't add it. They already tried it in ARK and it failed miserably. They will need to come up with new solutions.

There is lot of nice gentle folks in PVE. Highly recommended.

So I buy this game and I'm only allocated 6 hours of play time per day? That is really going to help with sales and play retention....... So your saying the game should adopt a mechanic that has proven to be a failure and of which you have acknowledged it is a failure?

I've yet to see any evidence of this being a problem. There are just a few disgruntled folks on this forum who are looking to find something to blame for why they keep losing.

So people that PVP on PVP servers for the sake of PVP are bad? I guess those players are too toxic for PVP right. We should all be holding hands...
