this happen a long time ago why i say that before i enter this game there was 4 servers and most of them are the same with 3rooms around 20;00===02;00 before WAW released there are more players playing to get there bb6 because its the longgest time to reach and most of the player now stop playing @ lvl 100 and wait for the 200% exp to lvl to 120 which is easy grind to 120 in WAW

this are all my ideas why we are decreasing

WAW mode =decrease the number of bb5s playing in GB

HA heavy lag/delayed =decrease the number of players playing HA means why bother play if its unplayable

players got old =decrease most of the old players specialy when having a rough time in real life but most of this players only play HA and events with big exp

LOW exp for new players =decrease the number of new players

LOW lvl biggener players are not getting accepted to any huge fleet to incurage them to get a bb6 at the same time have fun what its like to be in HA =making this new people leave the game

Also:

Nearly non-existent tutorial = newbies learn the hard way, get frustrated, quit 

Lack of promotion of tiered game modes (for example, Skirmish would be a great way to segregate BB1-3 from BB4-6) = No BK 90% of the time, newbies have to go into GB and get killed almost every battle - more frustration

Low after-battle credit/point rewards = newbies get stuck at CL/CA, lose patience, quit

Lack of balance between ship classes (new DDs and CLs are more or less encouraged to play gunnery first, while it makes for fun in BK, it's useless in GB) = newbies try to rush to BB/CV, find out the learning curve goes way up, get frustrated, quit

I think some of these issues could be remedied with our efforts on the following:

-More national ship guides - could really do with a community guide on each nation, it'd help the newbies AND the veterans. The existing guides could do with an update too.
-Moneymaking guides - this one's a no-brainer, it would really help new players get on their feet.
-Early-game guides - for ship/sailor classing tips that most have to trawl the forums for. Right now all I'm seeing is a mash of opinions on classing that doesn't really help the new player.
-Strategy guides - this one's optional, but I think it would help a bit if the new players knew what they can/can't do in each game mode.

This might seem a lot to ask of a frail, dying community, but the way I see it it's the only way forward. Especially if all of us want this game to keep going.






 

wow thats a long post whats the point of your long post? to lvl fast? do you want me to tell you how to lvl fast from 1 to 70?

I have been playing blitz a lot lately and the de syncs in there have been occuring at an alarming rate which also throws new players for a loop, confusing them and disheartening them to see why this game doesn't work the way it should.

i think you guys are way over thinking this you have to take in to account time differences and the fact that people work or have school which also during the week puts a damper on alot of the people playing my self i get a couple hours a night and then time on the weekend . because if ya look when the events are going this server is packed at times ya almost cant click a room fast enough to get in . and with winter here now alot of people cant do much outside so there will be a slight increase in rooms being played . and ya the tutorial would be nice to have an update and be more user friendly those things will be further down the line .

fix the crash and desync will help. Now, every longer battle  has desync, every one out of three battles will crash. This is not playable...

there is only one cause to the decline of NF. just one. 

Shared EXP.

the fact that skill no longer matters as the supreme agent in progression of the game is what killed the drive for this game. it would not matter how much xp you get if you had to earn all of it legitimately

when  started playing back in 2006, there were not a single sared xp system in place. consequently, the average skill was much higher, and there were MANY more game modes becase users created their own (Normal rooms for the less informed) there were BB1-3, DD/CL, CL/CA, BB1-2, BB3-4, FF Wars, FF/DD, and the like. it was a beautiful thing.

so shared xp through forced game mode rooms destroyed the game

but keep complanging of the high xp, as if that was the main problem

Fixing the connection would be nice.

3 games tonight. 20% BB/CV crash at start. Then lag/lagspikes and 3 lost games. Fun? Na...

But hey, I still like the game^^
