Realism setting

[Valetudin Arian]

Hi Captains! I would really like to see a few sliders that set the realism, maybe with a corresponding negative effect to experience and/or gold gained - it is not like there is no precedence for it.

 

For example:

 

1. Manual sails with the current auto skipper settings gives 100% xp/gold. Have manual sails with the option of having the npc's auto skipper give a -10% to xp/gold.

 

2. Knowing exactly which ships you face in a mission before you begin battle 100% xp/gold, going in without using a telescope to discern # of masts, sail shapes, hull shape from the horizon or closer gives +10% xp/gold.

 

3. Have a set battle rank range for missions where + or - 5%? value gets a full 100% xp/gold but over or under that mark either get a + or - % in gold xp/gold.

 

4. This is an important one, anyone who wants to play someone else's game to the point they rant and rave about how other people should play (disregarding anyone who points out someone going against the TOS or using exploits) get -100% to xp/gold while anyone who just plays the game knowing it is full of individuals with their own style/likes/dislikes get to keep the xp/gold as it is. Semi-serious, reason being there seems to be a culture where people are envious and/or jealous of other peoples choices so they get very vocal about how THEY want YOU to play. Funny way to look at it: this is a multiplayer game not a singleplayer with many clones (all the other players) just doing what you tell them to do.

And how would this work in an open world? Some of your proposed settings give a player an advantage, which would force every other player to use the same settings or be forced to play at a disadvantage. Slightly ironic is how that seems to contradict your proposal #4. You don't want others to tell you how to play your game, but you propose measures that would force others to play in your way

My suggested option was aimed at pve where there is no particular advantage over other players. No irony needed nor any contradiction found.

Totally agree with you 'bout point 4. Certain people get upset when you don't play the game the way they want you to - but they soon learn. Just be polite and keep on doing what you want to do
