Just wanna say upfront, I have voted no, and would still vote no after the what's shown, so my take on it might ofc be a little biased.
But they only showed "navigation" of the ship, and some ship sizes. The navigation looks kinda funky, I still think they have to improve it, but they also said this themselves.
They showed the ship size, and honestly, I just don't think they fit in at all. My biggest "dislike" of sailing as a skill, is that iam not really controlling my character, but a large ship. If I wanted to play a ship simulator game, I would have played something else.
But they're making a closed alpha soon, where select few people get to try it, and after some time, make it an open alpha so everyone can try it out
I voted no and would still vote no. I don’t see it as something we need for a skill, and it seems like they’re forcing it to fit into one. I could be dead wrong but I’m not looking forward to it personally
Iam in the same boat as you, it just doesn't fit into runescape, and the large ships just feels kinda "off".
But with fx shamanism, that looked way more promising, and would be something I could vote yes on, if it looked good
Voted yes, and would vote yes again under pretty much any circumstances. I loved boats in Ultima Online, so any chance to recapture some of that experience is a win for me.
