If the guy in charge of balance can't even be bothered to play the damn game and have firsthand knowledge of how everything is working in practice, fire his ass and hire someone who will. Seriously. There are so many passionate, knowledgeable players who would jump at the chance to work on this game.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: I am begging, please add minimum level requirements to pilot...

One of the main problem I had with novices was that they had voice chat off. Would it be possible to just put a small symbol near the name of people who don't have voice chat activated. By this I mean cannot hear me at all, I don't really mind if they don't have a microphone as long as I know if I need to communicate with text chat or voice chat.

That would be nice. Although it seems like every deaf novice I encounter can't be bothered to read text chat either... Is it really that hard to read text chat mid-game? I mean, I'm an autist with ADD and I can do it just fine!

I think back to when I first played the game. I bought the game wanting to be a pilot. Not running around whacking things with a Mallet or shooting other ships out of the sky, but standing behind the helm, flying the ship through the sky, and all the cool things I thought a pilot could do. Yeah, I was a complete scrub when I started. I thought putting the ship on full throttle would damage the engines, and I had no idea what good any of the helm tools were for me. But I eventually learned, and I guarantee I would not have stayed with this game if I saw I couldn't even be a pilot until I played several hundred matches.

I bought Disgaea wanting to deal out ludicrous amounts of damage on ludicrously overpowered characters. That takes many hours of grinding. I bought Saint's Row 3 wanting to run around fucking up who/whatever the hell happened to be in the general vicinity. To do that without getting promptly rekt by cops/rivals, you'll need to do some levelling. I bought WoW wanting to go on epic adventures. Once again, that requires some progression.

Few, if any, games let you access all content from the get-go. Sometimes you have to level up more, sometimes you have to git gud enough to kill that boss, sometimes you must construct additional pylons. This is a ridiculous argument against a feature that would reduce suffering for everyone else.

jfc jedi just submit a job application already

The new tools are interesting, but upgrades are such an unnecessary pain in the ass...

I also noticed there are now STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS for referring friends. In-game 'chieves, sure, but official Steam ones? The fuck is this?

The missions could use more detailed descriptions. Most of the time I'm not entirely sure why we're there, or if this mission is even supposed to be for my faction.



Some very minor quibbles, but I'm nothing if not vain; there should really be more options for painting ships. Especially the new ones. Sure, you can paint the Magnate's balloon, but nobody's going to notice with all the bright yellow sails. They're all beautiful ships(mad props), but I'd love to customize them. Come on, there's an entire store tab dedicated to tricking out your skyboat.

An accent option for clothes would be nice, being unable to change the color of brightly-colored accents kind of limits what you can use without making something that is a crime against all good taste.

Atruejedi would like us to know that ramming and receiving rams feels good.

Sorry. Just had to get that out of my system. It's a good read, and Muse did say they're reading it, so hopefully we'll see it implemented in the near future.

Add "Remember to turn off pilot tools," "Don't try to 1v2," and "Ramming the Galleon is rarely a good idea"
