[Update] opinions on visuals, content and experiences

Hey guys why don't we ask fo a change
1)Instead of kill for ship with specific weapons, do more damage with it
- that will demote use of uncommons since high damage with it is impossible
- also the many players look for chances to get kills, i mean everyone is a thief and trying to grab kills
This a small change i ask for, and i know there is a lot to change.

The weapon variety is stupid. CAN we kick our members who never even touched the following weapon for quest completion.? Can we be selfish enough? NO!

The guild quest need to much more different than regular quest

TO PEOPLE WHO ARE BRINGING SALT, KEEP THE THREAD PRODUCTIVE, WE NEED HELP, IF YOUR GUILD MAY BE DOING FINE, GOOD!!! WE DON'T CARE

THANK YOU WAVEBLOWER FOR CREATING THIS THREAD,WE NEEDED CHANGES

 

Low guilds, low goal and for than you receive low reward. Because people are literally dropping to make killing very easy. So what's the point of GUILD RANK AND INFAMY right now. INSTEAD if low guilds get low reward, people will be prompted to do high damage at the same time careful enough not do drop their infamy and be unselfish dealing max damage

 

Ben posted a great suggestion for fixing this:

Quests focused in teamplay rather than quests requiring a specific item.

 

hi Rovio,

Here's my feeback on the update... (i'll make a separate thread for the guild quests feedback)

1) Visual upgrades are awesome and seamless

• i would be great if you guys can add more boat destruction animations like:
  • death from a mine: boat is thrown a few feet into the air before landing
  • death from a railgun: some kind of melting animation or disintegration (no wreckage left behind)
  • last hit from a point damage weapon from the side: boat tumbles several times sidewards
  • death from incendiaries: melting animation or fiery burning animation
  • death from a mortar/missile: boat is blown to bits, fragments flying everywhere

2) battle badges/highlights are great but i have to agree with @American Marauder that for phone users, they block the view considerably, delaying succeeding shots by at least a full second specially for long range shots.

• suggest moving them to the side (upper left maybe)
• option to remove them during battle
• option to reduce the size of the icons
• option to adjust opacity / transparency

3) Guild quests, as a whole, are awesome and just about the same as what i had suggested previously (full review/feedback to be done separately), guild chatter has increased 5x since it came out and the active players are generally enjoying the challenge.

4) chat block is an awesome, awesome feature (i can now avoid reading idiotic messages in the global chat rooms)

• still hoping for you guys to feature a quick search of friends on the friend chat section (unless i'm missing something) i still have to scroll down manually through a long list of friends to find somebody with an ign starting with the letter "Z". add search player option to search via ign instead of the "#"
• quick delete: allow multiple deletions (check list type)
• add option to block friend requests or guild invites from certain players or guilds

5) Battle replays - hands down, an awesome new feature!

6) Item balancing - not much to comment here...

Overall, an awesome update guys keep it up!

Cheers!

 

If you have no problem killing ships with 2-3 slot weapons then you can easily dish out damage. Unless if you are a kill stealer.

 

God i hate that you have to win for the quests progress to go up...

 

I don't want battle notifications moved, i want them gone. The only way to do that is to allow us to hide them in Options.

 

Questions: can we get rid of the exclamation on the guild tab just to tell us we can afford a raffle, I only need a notification if I can claim a quest or boost.

Why does the raffle show a better item after you buy something for example if you buy land on the rare perk it becomes an epic perk, or the 100 pearls becomes 150 pearls, but the next time you start the game it goes back to the original item? Shouldn't it stay as the better item until you buy 12 or the season ends or something?

How long does a boost last? 1 win that contributes to a quest? An hour? Should be an info page when you click on a boost icon to explain thanks.

Lastly again I want to ask why medals are in the game? Are y'all planning to give them a purpose? I haven't gotten to the hard page of quests maybe something there?

 

I swear ppl cry so much....

"THANK YOU WAVEBLOWER FOR CREATING THIS THREAD,WE NEEDED CHANGES"
You are correct u do need changes, ya need to change ur guild roster if u wana complete the quests plain and simple.

"The weapon variety is stupid. CAN we kick ourmembers who never even touched the following weapon for quest completion.? Can we be selfish enough? NO!"

Again yes you can, if u wana get these quests done. I'll leave this thread alone with this last comment.....if ur not willing to make tje needed changes your guild will suffer and that's no one's fault but the ones who run the guild. GL with your crying like a 2 year old not getting his way I tried to explain it as simple as possible but ya just can't seem to wrap your head around the fact that if u want the best out of this update YOU GODA MAKE A CHOICE TO CHANGE if it's needed
Ty, RD out!

 

Ok till the developers changes the quest refresh time (iff they want to) all of us should keep a space open in our guild for a mercenary/specialist of the quest we can't do. We can hire them
They do quest get raffle pts and we get our quest done it's a win win
We can create a thread on forum with everyone specialising in what they do.
Whenever one need to get a quest done we can pm each other and ask if they can help.
And @*Rubber Duck* since u have or almost created a perfect guild I would really like the help of ur guildmates in these quest.
Edit: please create a thread in off topic with everyone stating what they specialise in both ship and weapons.
@The_Otherguy can u maintain this thread buddy it would be really helpful

 

Iv already offered my help

 

Good observation... I do have a swift torpedo stashed on a boat I never use. I'll have to fix that. I falsely assumed quests would be given based on the weapons you actually use in battle.

 

The quests do need tweaking. Maybe for the top 50 guilds these quests work, but for any other guild, it's a mess trying to complete some of the odd weapon and fleeting quests.
I am going to take the only logical step and create a separate MK1 account on a different device and complete quests that way to help my guild so it doesn't ruin my infamy.
This seems to be the only solution to not ruin my infamy or the infamy of people that are on my team. Seriously, this should have been thought out better and the repercussions thought through. The game I would imagine is going to have a whole lot of new accounts created for people spending ZERO dollars, just to accomplish the quests. Maybe that's what the developers want, to pad the membership count.

 

I don't really like the badges / accolades / highlights or whatever they're officially called. Sure, it's fun the first few times, but when you did something many times you don't care about the badge anymore, and it becomes merely an annoyance because of the pop-up in battle.

Also, as usual, the poll options suck. Why can people on these forums never make a balanced, non-biased poll? Is that some special skill?

 

I totaly agree with new Badges/Highlights in-game totally disturb vision of the game on phone,
especially with Shooter which does a lot of successive shots, the more you're good, the less you can play/see anything.

Besides I feel it also totaly change the atmosphere of the game,
we've moved from a strategic/anxiogen/focus atmosphere that I loved,
to a pinball/slot machine with overwhelming sounds, we're now in a casino !

The game was Serious&Fun, it's now Amusement Park ... (not even talking about a lot of guys playing weird weak weapons for guild quests)


My thoughts to improve this Badges/Highlights issue :
- option to disable them in-game (Option menu)
- at least move the Badges anywhere else than focus zone ! Putting it over the boat itself should be the better option as it wouldn't disturb
- (lower badges/highlights sound)


On the other hand, Badges/Highlights in the Reward en-game page is a good thing, as it is a resume of how good or hit you've been,
I even think that they should be highlighted in this Reward page, been buffed here.


Edit :
After only 1 hour of game post-update I was so upset I thought to definitely quit this 4h/day game I play ...

 

hehe poll would be my fault. what do you suggest would be better?

Really made this before update was even functional so i imagine a "could use improvements" would be a good addition

 

I do think BB should have separate infamy ratings per ship...would solve much of this issue.

 

Then u would have to have separate weapons for each ship cuz I could jump on my mk1 defender and rock my legendaries and epics

 

I agree, move badges to the side out of the focus area.

 

I agree with marauder, an option to turn them off completely would be ideal
