Sea of Conquest: Pirate War 12+

LOTR: Rise to war. Version 2 should have been this game

I’ve only been playing for like a day, but I’m pretty excited because after the release of Lord of the rings version 2.0 rise to war. I was extremely dissatisfied with all the other mobile games that I could find. This is the most similar version originally released by netease lotr: rise to war in September 2021 after several years of playing the game, the developers got really greedy and most of the people who played the game have left spent months searching for similar type of game, but was always disappointed in city Bilder type of games of survival, etc. the structure of lord of the rings rise to war, and this game Sea of Conquest are extremely similar whereas when I tried to play state of survival, it seemed like it was just pay to win. Not so much grouping up for team objectives ect. I’ll have to play a while longer to give fair review tho.

Fun Until

I can go back and forth all day about how games like this are a cash grab but I genuinely enjoyed the art style and mechanics I hate season 2 with the introduction of ship building you don’t have guaranteed chance of a legendary ship understandable I guess but randomized skills is one of the dumbest things I heard of it’s hard enough to get a legendary ship as is and getting what you want is basically impossible which reinforces the idea of a cash grab game I would love a skill change system to be put in place or give players a chance to re-roll ship skills at the very least and trinkets shouldn’t be using the same currency as for hero’s it’s hard enough to get certain hero’s as is and upgrading them and now with the introduction of trinkets my enjoyment has gone down significantly not because of the trinkets themselves but the system put in place to acquire the trinkets it’s nearly impossible for free to play players to keep up if you don’t plan to spend money from the start you put in a position where your going to fall behind it’s not a matter of if it will happen it’s a matter of when it will happen I hope they can cater to more to free to play players but in my experience I don’t believe they will I love this game but the direction it’s going I just don’t feel like playing anymore

Not worth the cost

So my husband and I started playing this game together. He started in Jan Nd I started mid/end of Feb. we did put a bit of money in the game, as most games like this are somewhat pay to play if you want to meet any of the achievements.
Well there was a “server merge event” that came up for Season 2. The other 2 servers they put us up against were older, and much bigger than ours. The “power teams” for the other 2 servers were substantially higher ranked levels than our server. We tried to grow the best way possible however to no avail, we just could not compete. Even though we were the 3rd largest group in the merged server, the power level was no comparison. Due to this our server was forced to either follow their rules, and not be able to meet our objectives, or continuously have our accounts attacked if we were not on 24/7 or pay hundreds of emeralds to “shield” our account. Essentially you had to pay to protect your account from being attacked. Not being able to evenly progress, without continuing to shell out loads of money, is very discouraging, ultimately causing many of my teammates to quit and ultimately my husband and I to quit. Had it been an even playing field .. it might have been fun, but paying to play a game you can’t win is not. :(
