Age Of Water - Caravan first taste of PVP - Large ship in PVE melted me must recover loot.

With less than an hour's play time beyond the free story beta ... I find PVP during a world event, and then get blown out of the water by a large PVE ship. How does death work in AoW? I found out you must recover items which the large boat was not camping so that was nice. I get lucky shortly after...find a pontoon field that gets me back up to speed with resources all right before server maintenance.

Those who got the premium pack and especially who played in groups and had more time seemed to progress quicker when the game was new. There is a ceiling to things and the bonus was at most saving 2 days time in the first week (7 days) of progress. Beyond that it is who has the time to grind.

Being a HUUUUUGE fan of Crossout (It and world of warships are the only games I have played 5+ years beyond 20+years of Counterstrike) This game is not quite as well polished *yet*. It is early access so give it some time. This is more survival game style and I
enjoy the challenge, but I would be lying if the occasional randomness doesn't discourage some exploration beyond the absolute safest areas where the combat is mundane. The exploration and challenge to take on larger ships and to get better or more mats using a bit of tactics and say 10-20 shot deaths if you were to sink is killed off by the current system. This is caused by random OP ships near manageable mob ships areas that will swap spawns with said manageable, but fun had challenging ships and 3-6 shot your mid-tier max kit ship. I spent 30 minutes chasing down my initial dropped cargo falling prey to rotating spawns of certain tiers about 5 hours into the game. It took multiple paths to get my first mass cargo drop from the PVE ships killing me. I ended up leaving a few cargo drops behind as a new 2 shot rocket grenade boat pair swapped with the 3-6 shot cannon boat spawn and made it impossible to get all of cargo boxes back. You do not drop cargo in PVP to my knowledge having fought a lot during world events and random killing smugglers.
