I think it would be nice to have some options for telling the matchmaking system what game I want to play. This can be a solution for the PvE/PvP problem and also for gamers with more/less real life than other players.
Just options like this:
- GameStyle: Pirate(Both), Gunner(PvP), Trader(PvE, no safezones, see explanations)
- Roleplay: Yes, No
- First preferred Language: e.g. german
- Second preferred Language: e.g. english
- Find crew using first preferred language: Yes, No
Some explanations:
Gamestyle - I now most of you want to play like a real pirate, but this also means not always to shoot first. For thoose of you who want to play shooter, there is the pvp option. Some guys like me dont have the time to play 3 hours a day, thats why we want to have a pve option so we can get some progress ingame. Also some dont have friends always beeing online and you dont have a chance against a faster 4 player ship.
PvE does NOT mean there will be safezones, it is just to put you together with players who also want to play pve.
All the others (on weekend me too) can play like a real pirate - I like the feeling when you see a bigger ship on horizon ... take of the light fast and sail away with 5 treasures onboard, hoping they didn't see me ^^
Roleplay - Yes you can do that ingame and it feels really good, but not everybody wants to do that.
Language selection - There are many people who dont understand or speak english, so you can put them in a crew/server with their preferred language.
