OP should probably update since they added two more ships and a new game mode.

Bought this because of the summer sale. Big fan of Mount and Musket type games, add in ships and lovely players and I'm sold. It even has lovely Voice taunts, this game is great! If there's ever a Goon group for crews let me know. Not sure if the game will get big enough, but whatever. For now, I'll just sip tea on my sinking ship while some basement dweller yells at me over VOIP.

This is a fun game for a Alpha. Its really fun to grapple ships then board them and wildly swing my sword while chasing the enemy.

OK, so the party tag system is now implemented. It'll allow up to 7 players to use a tag to get in on games together. Anyway, the tag I'm using is "Goons" so use the tag "Goons" (not sure if it's caps-sensitive, but I capitalized the G) if y'all wanna play together.

This game loving owns bones. The sound design on it is superb and matched only by the wonderfully awful voice acting. I'll set up a tag later because a Goony boat would be great

So I haven't played since launch really and logged in to try the new ships. Was able to prestige once off the bat and halfway through the second immediately. The junk is loving garbage though, holy poo poo.

Fix Lag posted:The way you wreck people with the junk is by loading grapeshot in the front single cannon and ramming enemy ships. Truth. A couple of games ago I decided to start loading that front cannon with grape, and the captain quickly picked up on it, and from then on out it was murder town. He'd charge in, I'd touch off the cannon a second before impact for 3+ kills every time, and the collision itself would cause enough damage to keep what's left of the enemy crew busy for a while. With the wide-open front it's easy to then lob grenades and boarders over to the enemy ship while they're still scrambling to react. And the best part is that the junk has no bowsprit that would be damaged by a collision, so it can keep right on moving and follow up that ram with an immediate point-blank broadside. We've actually managed to outright sink a couple of enemy ships with just a single charge each that way.

Weird. Did they patch that? I thought the junk did no damage when it rammed. I remember being rammed by junks and not seeing any damage/deaths.

I don't believe the junk does much if any damage when it rams.* The key to utilizing it successfully as more than just a gun platform is to load grapeshot in the front cannon, a grapple in each of the side cannons closest to the front (or if you're really good and know what the gently caress's up just the one you plan on using) and the rest regular shots. You ram them and get a good shot off with the front cannon to clear the deck, then immediately grapple before they can respawn and finish them off by boarding. I was part of this with a good crew on a regular server and we got ~80 kills among 7 people in one round. The junk's way better suited than the other ships for close range, aggressive action because it's the only small one that can ram and grapeshot simultaneously. It's not meant to be a broadside machine or supplemental firepower to the galleon. *someone go find this out

The new pike is currently the best melee weapon. Also, they added waterspouts, dangerous ice patches, a new main cruiser ship for the Navy (massive broadside power, no forward/rear cannons, rear-facing anti-sails) and volcanoes.

Steam this has on their winter sale, so I picked it up yesterday, and I have to say it's well worth the $13. Biggest thing I have trouble with is boarding; how the hell do you tell the enemies from the friendlies? I know the outfits are technically different, but with the unlockable clothing/hats everyone looks pretty different and there's not an easy way to distinguish between factions. You can hold down Q so friendlies have their names above their head, but that's not an option in a chaotic melee. What am I missing? I also got yelled at by a captain last night for unclear reasons. I had gone to get cannon supplies, but as I was approaching the cannons with it, someone else dropped some supplies in, so I had an armful of supplies and nowhere to put them. I just dropped them, and a moment later the captain says "I saw you do that, we kick people for that!" I asked what I had done, and all he said was "watch that trigger finger!" before he got interrupted. My guess is that they were after me for wasting supplies, but I'm not sure what I could have done differently. Only alternative is they were accusing me of firing the cannons too much, which doesn't sound likely as I was landing probably 80% of my shots. Regardless, I'm enjoying this.

I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you're firing only when you can make a hit and not intentionally wasting supplies. Have they made it so you can put supplies back yet?

I sunk a cutter yesterday and got 3000 silver and 241 xp, brig is next in line and costs 8000 and 1000 to unlock so the grind doesn't seem too bad from the start at least? They did say there will be no premium ammo bullshit at least, so I'm checking it out.

Is there a thread on Naval Action, or could someone give me the rundown what it is like? I can't get a good handle on the autism level of it, or how much you can play with your buddies? Can you just sail with your friends and do teamwork, or does the game awkwardly instance and segregate?

Can you just sail with your friends and do teamwork, or does the game awkwardly instance and segregate? The naval combat in NA is great, the problem is they went down the MMO route where the game is one giant open world. It can take 15 minutes or longer to sail between ports. There is a fairly hefty grind to unlock better/bigger ships and the port take over mechanics are weird and I never figured it out. A lot of people just wanna play the combat part and not 18th century sailing for months on end simulator. It's gotten some bad flack but honestly I think it's still a great game just because the naval combat is very pretty to look at and is pretty fun. They also have in beta currently what amounts to World of Sails (instanced engagements, unlock new ships/guns) which is what most people wanted from the beginning so if that appeals to you it might be worth picking up.
