i can still sometimes get immersed into the game, but its definitely way harder than it was in wom to do so because everything feels so mini. even the ships are really small relative to your character
I’ve never had that problem
the thing that makes it worse is that bigger ships(than the brig) are just resized/tweaked models of brig
Maria’s big ship, as well as the Borealis from AA, I feel are the only true offenders of this. The Fenrir did a pretty good job making it work if you ask me.
it’s literally just a bigger brig with one less mast and more gun ports
how do you call that a good job?
Because it wasn’t just directly upscaled and nothing else done, you don’t see the interior looking identical but with scrap wood along the giant doorways, and everything else about the Mistral Update was way more shameful.
it was a world
and it was magic
I mean like that’s true
but still, it’s just slightly higher effort than just resizing
Well, that meets my standards. Especially in a game where the faction in question who owns the ship has a leader who creates the ships using his magic powers.
Wotan’s train of thought be like: “Oh hey a brig, let me just make a gigantic version of that and rebrand it real quick, nobody will ever find out the original design”
Wotan doesm’t have that kind of shame. He knew a brig was good, and made more brig.
following high lvl ppl to watch them level the Silent Tower or whatever the big prison was called
“Sir, another metal mage has hit the tower…”
A lot of it is probably Vetex not wanting to make a whole new ship model especially when he was trying to cram for that monthly model he was trying for a bit. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Fenrir model ends up getting changed in a future update. Full Release is honestly a good opportunity for it though if he does it then it probably won’t be til the latter half of development.
the thought process was probably more “why do i give a shit about making a model detailed that players are never really going to see up close for more than 3 seconds”
also this is kind of a derailment
the issue with making bigger islands though is that its hard to fill them up with interesting things to explore
for example, ravenna is mainly filled with a mountain with nothing on it, and sameria is mainly just desert (although i have a feeling that sameria isnt quite finished yet so ill give it the benefit of the doubt), whereas small to medium sized islands like makrinaos have secrets and interesting stuff to explore around every corner
also yeah i imagine the fenrir will get way more detail later on, especially if we end up boarding it
infamy was more fun to gain in wom
