Speaking as someone who originally paid ~800R to play, I noticed that the game began to feel very different after public release. It was slow and prolonged at first, but eventually too glaringly big to ignore. They began adding more-and-more systems that stripped down what had made the game so fun in the first place: the difficulty. Northwind has become so babied-down and riddled with unnecessary and excessive tutorials that any sense of "exploration" or "discovery" has been lost. From the standpoint of a newbie, you are strung along and told exactly what to do for hours upon hours. It's a slap in the face to the agency of the player. The very existence of Beauval Isles, a completely safe place without any repercussions or true danger (loss of loot) is the antithesis to this style of game. I very vividly remember back in the day when TNF lost a significant amount of players after they gave natives safe-zone in JB. These kind of changes are inherently hostile to the flavor of game Northwind is trying to be. The developers want to have their cake and eat it too.
I would question what the "style of the game" they're going for because we see with housing rules, and other stuff that they want to keep a massive part of their game as a "RPG" while denying combat as rp even tho it has different combat roles. But I would agree the root of the issue is they want to have their cake and eat it too.
@@candypower9988 The issue is that this system wasn't designed for a contemporary audience. The idea of having rules listed away from the main-game was fine, initially, because it was a paid-access playerbase, and nearly everyone who pays a ludicrous amount of R$ to play a game is going to be involved in the community. That hasn't been the case for several years now, and they've still clearly shown that they aren't willing to adapt with their new playerbase. I can say with confidence, as an early player that Northwind has *never* been an RPG. Whatever RPG elements the game had, like boat travel, real ship waiting-times, or interesting settlements like St Paul, have all been grinded away for the sake of "ease". The developers prove time and time again that they are unwilling to adapt with their new playerbase, clinging onto the old rules and old practices, still adding onto them, when the vast majority of people from those times are long gone.
There's also dev incompetence like nerfing weapons somehow also created infinity money glitch and no updates even though I'm pretty sure they're paying people. oh and Ryez buying nutwind just to take the tech and ram it into another one of those roman slop survivals that will die in a month
I'd say dev incompetence is definitely one of the factors aswelll as a general discare for northwind though that being said even if they did I don't think they would put the care in the necessary aspects and instead of fixing the foundation they'd just put out new updates
Something annoying about crafting in mobile is you have to stay at the station while crafting or you can’t collect the items. I have even more to add, it’s possible to quick drop in mobile, but it’s not as fast as a pc player and the amount of times I clicked at ease while firing is insane 💀
i was sergeant in hbc, after they turn northern frontier to dead game and many gamepasses i had in there i felt scammed again i joined hbc in north wind and rules of hbc ware so stupidy and hard to do i talked back to officer once got penaled i was not allowed to speak, and when i was working my penalty i had to record it every time, i had to collect 50000 wood and 11111 iron ingots nnot ore ingots! i left that hbc and than it turned to slc

I agree with most things in there except for the part where aparently u dont like people storing stuff in their house?? even though in the video you were storing smth in ur house :/ there is nothing wrong with having a storage house, that just makes the game more fun for people whom store stuff and for raiders.
The video isn't against house storage, it's against the INFINITE UNRAIDABLE house storage (Bueveal safezone) where you can store infinite things in chests and barrels etc and no one without hacks/exploits can loot it. Also for the clip of me storing, I did my best to edit out the location to stop admins from bannin me but it wasn't in bueveal.
no at least as of now they arent, you could always test with a friend, tho keep in mind party members can yoink them so make sure u dont spawn it in while a random party has u
@@candypower9988a man of god... you sound like someone with strong intregrity and values, all power to you dude. Its refreshing to see someone like you in this community and even this time period.
the game id dying because of too much graphic also there are more mobile player than pc and when you play northwind on mobile its too much lag and the screen us to occupied plus there too much lag
I've already said this nearly 10 times across my videos but no I'm not in any faction because they all practice too many fruits of the flesh. I do however work with those who are shooting for the same objective so sometimes I will raid with factions.
I'm pretty sure panda at least allegedly used aimbot tho, about as alleged as zwosh being funded by a known duper and then said duper admitting he funded zwosh while an admin says the dms between the duper and zwosh dont exist while zwosh claims it would be stupid if some third party (like an admin) had access to their dms to say anything about what happened

I agree that they need to stop riding the fence between rpg and combat game
Simple explanation master, people get bored of combat --> lack of factions --> lack of battles war and chaos --> quit
true, tho if you have new players coming in then it's ok if some old ones leave
I see a load of new people playing everyday. Just need more official factions

@@Gabriel15. Lol
compared to what u were when u started posting, u are much better at the game pvp wise. good job.

rip mobile, also for that quickdrop statement I think I was talking more about internet
@@candypower9988 just get a stable internet connection like live in a more urban area
Also, I run a stable connection of 150 on my internet

We have already tired Ads. Ads haven't worked and we are looking for TH-camrs to help, but the community has pushed them out.
when I talk about adds what I mean is putting the game in front of people, youtubers, game thumbnails etc
also I'd highly question if it was the community or the game itself that pushed the yters out

the problem is you can build storage houses in safezone(on starter island) which makes them unraidable
and why is that a problem now?
The video isn't against house storage, it's against the INFINITE UNRAIDABLE house storage (Bueveal safezone) where you can store infinite things in chests and barrels etc and no one without hacks/exploits can loot it. Also for the clip of me storing, I did my best to edit out the location to stop admins from bannin me but it wasn't in bueveal.
It's a problem because it completely over rides the point of the bank since you can have infinite unraidable storage with no limit
are mounted weapons stealable? ive refrained from making a house to store my guns on mounts in fear of it
no at least as of now they arent, you could always test with a friend, tho keep in mind party members can yoink them so make sure u dont spawn it in while a random party has u

Yo candypower, what faction are you in??? If you're not in one would you be interested in joining one???
