It should be " it's a game where you do naval combat sprinkled with a bit of sailing for the flavor" This Chunk of the game should be fast paced and represent the least amount of time spent in the game.Īt the moment it represents the core gameplay.īecause if I had to describe this game to a friend I would say,"Naval action a game where you sail a lot on empty seas and ocasionally do naval combat." Open World is basically the map where the all the stuff is and where you need to get to.

Now, I get the fact that the game tries to emulate realistic sailing conditions, and it's doing a nice job in Combat Instances. It's literally like sitting in a queue at the post office. Just consider those of us who love your game, want to experience all the cool stuff in it but feel like, in order to get to the fun we must first be forced to sit through several hours of doing nothing before we can get the "reward". To those who are not bothered by this, I say, fair enough and good for you. This scenario is ideal for players who are on vacation, or retired, or simply have nothing else to do and I've heard a lot of players actually play like this. Add some counterwinds and you might as well leave the computer and do chores and come back half a day later.

The farther the destination the longer the sail(doh), and in turn the longer you stare at a screen doing nothing. I hope you do not resent me for it, I'm just trying to prove a point and I mean no ill will.Īt the moment 80% of time is spent sailing towards some destination. I've read all the "Devs are Evil" posts and I find them imature and nonconstructive.įor the devs: I have been spamming the F11 ingame every time I log in and try to do simple actions like getting to a mission or just getting out of port in counterwinds. My goal with this is to make a bit of noise and hopefully get the devs to make some improvements in this department.įor any who would dismiss the willingness of the devs to acknowledge players demands and opinions, I politely ask you to refrain from posting. My goal is to get every likeminded player to come here and make some noise about slow sailing, counterwinds and everything related to OPEN WORLD Travel.įor any who would dismiss my arguments, I am aware the speed was increased a while ago, yet I am here to tell you it is not enough, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way about the current situation. I've created this thread for everyone that feels the sailing in Open World is too slow and time consuming.
