Age of Water Steam Charts & Stats

Just frustrating to play due to bugs like randomly insta-flooding/exploding from full strength for no apparent reason, repeatedly. Keybind identifiers not actually meaning what they say, anchor for example seems to shift the engine into reverse, not stop and there's no anchor, toggle engine does nothing? It's super confusing. That one idiot on voice chat screaming his head off constantly. In fact, anyone in voice chat at all... Seemingly unable to form any coherent form of language, just screams, grunts and people eating what I assume is their mic. Feels like a low-ranked drone MMO missing a ton of basic MMO features or obscured MMO features. Not idea how to group with anyone, play with anyone, everyone just seems to be randomly roaming the map doing their own solo thing... The only events I've seen are marked all the way across the map from inside the PVP areas. Nothing is really... Rewarding. Fishing is slow and not very profitable. Dredging is slow and yeh... Shooting pirates will fill your hold with all kinds of things, many vendors won't even touch and will overload your boat going around picking up everything, with little idea of the weight impact of any of the items in your inventory. The stuff you can sell to vendors you get currency to buy limited inventories from the vendors and it's like... There's 3 different vendor templates and half the inventory is the same between them, the rest of the items are a smattering of general stuff you pickup randomly from the ocean. Sure you can do a few quests and go kill the randomly spawning POI pirates, but then... ? You have to feed your crew, you can do fishing, but cooking? Do they eat the raw fish? Is it just vendor goods? How do you feed your crew, is it automatic? Very little explained in the UI, no idea what the stats on weapons mean, they're represented by symbols, most of which I don't recognise Fair few quests are gear-gated, you'll get wrecked going remotely near them... Haven't seen this 'personal naval base' and no idea where to go to upgrade the boat tier. Feels a bit like a scam to be honest, sure I got this on a sale, but this certainly doesn't feel like a full priced £24.99 game.... £5... Maybe, being generous.

I love the game, however it is so incredibly irritating when you are dredging in the smaller circles for items and before you get there someone already dredged it, this happens 50% of the time. Please fix this to make dredging Client side.

A very fun game. Lots of naval combat. Plenty of ship building and ship customizing options. I could sail around salvaging resources for hours. I would love to see them introduce a player economy with like trade posts or auction house so players can buy and sell resources and rare equipment with each other. Maybe one day!

A little grindy, has that No Man's Sky vehicle progression to it but it's worth it when you get big boats, guns and more crew. The only issue I have and I wish could be fixed is getting crew, you HAVE to do missions to get more crew and I just wish we could buy our first one at 5k, 2nd at 10k, 3rd at 15k and so on so there's progression to it the more we get stuff and the more money we make later on from killing bigger boats and doing harder missions so we aren't having a static amount of crew members.

If you like pirate games but haven't found that game where you can build and sink ships, this one is for you. Using newer weapons than just cannon balls, build it up, be sunk and sink others while sailing the seas.

if you love being a pirate, then this is the game for you. Fight multiple villains or be one yourself! Build and steal ships from the enemy! Plenty of quest. fun for everyone!

Videos of the game reminded me of Blood wake and original Xbox exclusive game, that's what got me to try it out. Definitely a game you need more than a an hour to get into, but once you get the hang of it, it isn't too difficult. The mission loops aren't the best, but PVP is where the fun is. After the tier 1 ships you have to capture a ship to get the blueprints to build your own. I got the Gold Edition while on sale, so just $8 more than the standard. While not necessary, it does give a slight advantage in the beginning. The ships you get have a little more hull HP and a little more building space. There are some missions that require you to spend corks to continue or complete the mission and while you can just sell resources to get them, from the videos of higher tiers I've seen, you need a lot of those resources for both building and repairs. At level 13 with my first tier 2 ship, I've yet to have to sell anything as the corks I've made from missions keeps up my total. Having the extra 250,000 medallions at the start was also helpful, the game has a medallion only store where you can buy items that do help like the ship hull repair kits. They fully repair your ship's hull without the use of resources and they can be used in battle, and it's instantly, but won't save you from flooding. You can also buy an item to boost weapon damage by 50% for a short time, boost turbo, refill energy reserves, resources, and some cosmetics. I would recommend JBRider on Youtube to learn more about the game. He has a lot of useful information.

Better than Skull and Bones. Except for some minor issues with voices randomly changing or becoming much quieter mid sentence and escort caravan quests sometimes getting stuck, I've not seen any major issues. In addition the multiplier aspect is fking over low Tier players sometimes a high Tier player comes close. The spawning of NPCs seems to be based upon your tier or it's based on quests. I just know that many times I was suddenly hunted by T4 and T3 boats while in T1 ship, which is basically guaranteed death sentence. Each time a T4 or T5 player was close by. This can be very frustrating in the middle of missions, especially long escorts. In addition you can get ships by boarding them. This can be very useful to get a new better ship, but gets really annoying when the ship you want shows up in one mission and you never see it again. Especially when after multiple tries to capture it, either it automatically blows up when disabled, or some random high lvl bastard shows up and blows up all the mission ships in seconds forcing mission completion. All missions cannot be abandoned or replayed, so you will never be able to spawn these enemies again . . . at least I've yet to figure out how . . . Other than that, solid game.

Okay, after 102 hours in, I'm good to give an opinion, this is a good game, sure the servers are a tiny bit unstable, and there is the occasional Cheater (Saw only in Caravan PvP Event), which is far few in between... its all fun, got a lot of options in ship design, could use more enemy ship variety of course... But anyway I highly recommend this game, especially if your the type who loves the sea, and Boats. The Ground combat could use some work, its... lacking feel to it, it may not be a focus, but could use more polish to it.

One of the Rare game these days without micro transactions and actually fun if you don't mind the AI voice lines.
