I still have no idea how certain new things work like forts, it seems you spawn at the fort when the match starts and the captains can choose what ship to build (??) and you can get on it and then into the match spawn on the ship, or be teleported from the fort area by a man at the docks to your ship, but i dont know how you get back to the fort if your ship is already at sea other than having your captain go back and drop you off if its being attacked. The one new thing ive noticed that i like much much better is the new ship damage stuff, its not just a big panel of wall missing, now there's cannonball holes and it looks nicer/better.

One new thing that I like is that it's possible to aim cannons left and right now, but it's very slow and resets itself to 0 if you leave the cannon.

Is this related to Holdfast: Nations at War in any way? Because the naval combat from that looks a looooot like the OP for this thread.

feedmegin posted:Is this related to Holdfast: Nations at War in any way? Because the naval combat from that looks a looooot like the OP for this thread. I have both and Holdfast's naval combat is way underdeveloped compared to Blackwake, and Holdfast's naval combat hasnt been updated at all since release. However, Holdfast's naval combat lets someone(YOU) play a fiddler as you fight with the cannonballs flying past your head so that's a plus in its favor. Holdfast has a decent foundation for the naval combat but if that's all you want it's not worth it at all, last time I checked in prime time barely anyone was playing a naval map and I'm not surprised, it needs a lot of work. The land stuff is fun but still very early access.

Holy poo poo this game is so much fun. Picked it up on the weekend for 45% off and would happily have paid full price. There's minimal polish and maximal jank, but that's ok because it's a 2 person dev team and it's pretty clear they're putting as much effort as possible into the core game loop of "shot gun at bote" Game is better with a mic, best with a group. Pubbies aren't universally terrible, which is nice, and the game isn't yet big enough to have a toxic-by-default community. On average people are friendly and helpful and crews are big enough that having some guy loving off all match isn't going to hurt that much. Even when you have a rough go as a captain, people are pretty quick to forgive and forget as long as you keep them provided with targets. also watch this it's very helpful (although the ingame tips are generally enough to keep you informed while being unobtrusive) e: I think it's still on sale, pick it up and let's get some more goonbote action ChickenWing fucked around with this message at 15:04 on May 28, 2018 |
