Thank you all for your likes and comments! The channel has been growing exponentially over the past few weeks, thanks to you guys. I'll try to answer as many of your comments as I can. Happy sailing!

Just started playing, holy cow the learning curve. There's not a lot of updated videos out here

please take my advice your personally the best lead content creator for this game keep it up the algorithm has noticed you.

I hope this series continues, I am new myself and keep finding lots of new players that I gladly help out in game. Love the game a lot so far.

great video. Thank you for kicking off a new series!

Finally a let’s play series. Really looking forward to seeing your gameplay! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for making a video like this 🙏🙏🙏I have been looking for one all over

First time I have heard of this game. Started downloading it as it looks good. Will be watching more of your Vids on this while I am working.

looking forward to strapping in for this series mate, i played NA years back and couldn't keep up with all the changes. But would like to come back to play again, just need to learn all the new stuff now.

I would love to see more of this as well as a bit of a guide on how to do everything you're doing catering to newbies or players like myself who haven't played in about 3-4 years and have forgotten how everything works. There seems to be very little on youtube to help ease newcomers into the game. P.S. I hope you will be able to go into more explanation about what things are you're talking about like how to do the tutorial and how to pick a server and more basic stuff for the many watching that are lost at sea so to speak with many of the terms used. For example I have no idea what the rewards from the tutorial are even used for

Another good one buddy! Great stuff and ready for the next one! Paden Law

Thanks for getting me back in the game, im loving it again. On the British nation, maybe we'll meet at sea one day, Pirate ☠️

Thank you for the shout out and fair winds to you mate🍻😃

Yes! One of your NA videos hooked me in to this game about a week ago. Really glad for it so far. Great content, keep it coming :) I’ve found a frigate with Sabicu (S)/African Teak to be a very nice combo.

Just started the game with 4 friends your videos are great for Information:) thanks

Agreed on the wood builds. I have been doing the same with Redeeming my DLC's. I have in the past have always had good luck with Teak/Teak and LO/WO. But you are right, they have shaken things up in many areas besides Woods. Keep Sailing Mate! o7

For reasons unknown I wasn't getting notifications for new content. On the plus side I have plenty to binge watch and enjoy! Another quality vid and I'm looking forward to seeing more. I didn't know it had gone f2p so I'll definitely be giving it a go. Cheers!

and continue with the series helps me a lot

I just came back to the game after a few years gone. It took me a few days to get back into it. I'm still not quite back to the mastry level I once was. They changed the effectiveness of double charge on cutting masts and the effectiveness of grape shot raking shots. Those are annoying as I feel they were very realistically balanced. But raking shots with standard shot, that surprised me as it still doesn't wipe out crew but it absolutely guts the hull and sinks the ship, also demasts the ship too in spite of the fact the masts are thickest at the deck level. It's like the devs flipped the masts stength upside down. Still fun though.

Hey KairoS I've just started I've been zipping about doing passenger missions earning dollar. Thanks for the video. Really helps.

Your video is wonderful and you do an amazing job explaining everything. That being said, having tried this game several times I have come to the conclusion it was made for 85 year old men. Too much going on with not any of it being really meaningful and all of it taking forever. I'll still watch though because highlights are entertaining.

I was just searching for a Naval Action let's play the other day and was disappointed with how little content there was avaliable on KZfaq. I am looking forward to watching this series.

Keep it going bro I need more updated videos

Brand new player. Thx for doing this.

TY for the video. I was expecting a "get started" video but this is not that. The title was a bit misleading, but I do see your perspective, perhaps documenting your efforts after a recent wipe. Sadly, I was more confused after watching than before. The parts you skipped are the parts that fill in the holes I felt I needed to see. How you got the first bit of cash for example. And the DLC stuff is not in my wheelhouse (pun intended) yet. No matter. I will give it more time to figure things out.

I love how you pronounce Montecriti. :)

Pirates are appealing to everyone who doesn't have his nation represented in Naval Action. The british, spanish and french will always get people from areas where their languages are the mother tongue. If they added the US or the Dutch instead of Pirates to the seasonal server I think the population would be more equally spread out.

I find that white oak works really well for 5th rank ships. (White oak planking and framing)

I'm soo hyped

one thing i used to do back when i did play this game, i did buy everything that would sell for a good price. and just have stock piles so i could just go in and grab. but i normaly had trade routs back and forwords to the same towns.

I liked the video, it's on 420 likes now. I keep checking up on this game, because it looks interesting, but I'm hesitant to buy it. Mostly because of all the shenanigans the last year or so. Edit: I see it's free now, so maybe I'll give it a spin.

I just started on the Caribbean server after a year long break from Naval Action and made over 500k meals by attacking 2 trader snows and 1 trader brig and selling what I was able to carry off.

I’ll be watching this playlist. Will you be playing after the next wipe?

very happy that you're doing a let's play series for this game - I liked some of your other videos, but they seemed like you were trying to teach too much on particular things, but I think a proper let's play would be more enjoyable to watch just seeing you do your thing.

(I’ve not watched the whole video yet so maybe it gets covered) but do you have any tips for leveling up faster for new players? A bunch of my friends started playing while I was away for a work thing, and as such an behind the curve, wanna catch up but I need to cover a fair bit of ground pretty quick

Just got into the game and came across a fairly interesting build on a rattlesnake: Greenheart/Danzic Oak.

Could you do a guide how to leak sink ships? I cant figure it out tbh. I do also wonder if all this changes made some obsolete ships like le hermione and leopard a bit better?

Wish you could see the crew on the vessels, cool game though

Thank you !

I'm surprised that the Dev's didn't make Tortuga the Pirate capital.

My friend got me into this game, been loving the combat, but he's a long time player, and hasn't played much since it went f2p, so he doesnt fully understand the new mechanics much

Excellent videos, your manner and content delivery is enjoyable. I would join if no wipes. Too many other great games to play than deal with that unfortunate design decision. If the PVE / PVP servers open to new folks, I'd jump in. I'd joyfully pay for that feature. PVP question. Can players of same faction attack you or is it only opposing factions that PVP happens. It makes PVP more palatable if you were safe around fellow faction players and fought only opposing factions, which makes sense to me. Thanks for vids!

Is this game worth getting? Does it have dedicated servers.... whats the player base looking is it off line or only multiple player...

👍👍

In my game does not appear those options to buy and sell in the trading tools only appears the sale prices

left after the 3rd lipsmack

Thanks for video ( france is best) how can investment coins. Missions are so much harder to do?

Did they remove the Solo kill missions Vs AI?

Love the series man! I don't want to steal you idea for a let's play on this game, but I also heard the game has improved again and I was also thinking of doing a let's play on it to give some tips to newer players. I'm also in the pirate nation so maybe we could play together some time. Do you play on the seasonal server or on the pvp server?

15:20 - Exactly! The safety zones are far too big. It's kinda boring, if there is almost no risk. The other way round, it's not worthy getting out for a gank, as you will barely find attractive "victims", cause everyone hovers around in the safety zones...😉

Hello. The game kept appearing on my radar for quite a while, but there's a lot of drama and lack of consensus about its state and direction at the moment, and it seems to be pivoting a lot lately. So what would be your take on the situation, given you've been inside things for some time now? Are the things really looking uncertain or is it just the old crowd complaining about the game moving in the new direction? I'm trying to gauge what my expectations should be.

Im from future, the ia of the npc changes to skynet level

(S)Sabicu + (S) Sabicu gets the best of both worlds. Good HP and no speed penalties.

For Port de Paix, try Port de Pet without saying the T , Port de Pe would be wrong, the sound you re looking for is really Pet without pronouciating the T, hope this help.

The game looks interesting, but there are an absolute ton of bad reviews on steam. So I think I'll watch you and stand clear of playing it.

Would L'Hermione technically count as a 6th rate?

Didn't they used to have Dutch, Swedes, and Americans?

Wish this was on console

no crew? no sea shanties? single player? like can other players online attack you?

Thank god they reduced safe zone size

KairoS i love your videos and naval action is one of my dream games kinda. it is like an advanced Port royal 2 and i love it .I want to play it really bad! BUT the current state of the game is shocking me. I informed myself over the patches and developers decisions and they are so bad that it is unplayable for me. I dont want to play just to get fucked over and over and over again. Also it is redicolous how expensive the ships are while beeing historical INACCURATE. I think this is a really good good game, but the dev's decisions are utterly bad and will kill it over long time. for sure. too early wipes. too unfair. too much pay2win and that while it is a great game it makes me really really sad ...... maybe u can easy my mind but atm im sad because of this.. the steam reviews tell also some storys :/

The Port de paix, mean Port of peace. Its hard to tell you how to pronounce it, I think you could use google translate and listen to the voice. I'm a French Canadian so English and French is easy for me. I think you could pronounce it like this : ''Por the pay'' not exactly right but close.

Por-de-pay

👍🦜

I hope the game gets more fun than the tutorial. Cause I’m not finding it fun at all. In fact I love tall ships and this game is tainting that.

Pirates can't attack pirates anymore? also knowing where you are on the map is cheating:) might come back looks like it's still fun.

Trying to pick the accent...

According to this guy:" If you know anything about Spanish history they were very fond stealing other people's boats" Coming from an Anglo that sounds like a joke. He should be concerned about knowing something about British history. Even today in both Spain and South America when they refer to the English in general it is accompanied by the word pirate: "Ingleses piratas"

I bought the game pre f2p and the devs killed game. It’s a very slow Grindy game and why anyone would do that on Caribbean server only for it to be wiped every few months is beyond me. You just to be able to build and trade In peace server but even though online number were low 200/300 it down to 50-90 now. No one builds hey removed all the seeded trade items from ports - so if you got a fleet of 4 indianmen ships they pointless now as nothing to trade - the dlc’s are a joke - like £25 just to change name, ships that have no use in game, paints they just change the set wood colour on sides only and flags that don’t even show when sailing world (only in battles). The graphics and battles had promise they just totally messed up any reason to play the game?

Little tip. Don’t spend so much time in game menus. I tried to watch but every time I sped through you were still on the menu. Maybe start with gameplay for the first few minutes Not really offering much to watch. Just a thought.

Too bad the game is pointless when everything got wiped every few months... it's even pointless for DLC players as they need to grind cash and XP to get the crew.
