I wish there were more incentive to actually play beta. Would make it a lot easier to get footage if more people were actively playing but the whole beta grind just for a wipe thing is a huge turn off.
Can I suggest that fri-sun be ftp? Good action on the weekends, test time during the week. This also gives a good server load test during what would be considered peak, also incentive to buy backer stuff.
I loved the player video, but! If only there were a few player POV's in there to show people who haven't played the game what its like from a player perspective and also the FPS aiming. I know it wasn't meant to be a promo video but it would have made more of an impact to someone who doesn't know this game is all I'm saying. There had to be someone in that fight who recorded it. At the very least, something to think about in the future when someone sends a tell to 'Camera Man'.
Sea tower kinda sucked. With only launches available the sea tower cannons were too powerful. It took away a lot of opportunity for ship and water combat. Dunno how to fix this as they're not bad with real boats, but they definitely ruined the sea tower.
The mats needed to build a shipyard are astronomical. Ship building is essentially locked out for quite some time unless you are willing to sacrifice every other part of your cities development. Along with you and your clans character development.
It's really not that bad. The ships and lvling shipbuilding is the pricey part but there are easy ways to get the mats for that.
