So I've been playing this game for a couple weeks now and I have to say its a pretty good game! I loved playing naval games like Pirates of the Caribbean Online growing up and I absolutely loved to death AC: Black Flag! This game reminds me so much of both! The combat is great and realistic and the open world is vast and beautiful! That being said, I think there are quite a few things that would spice this game up and make it alot more fun...And attract new naval warfare hungry players!
So shall we get started on my list?...
More AI ships: I think this would really help to flesh the game out. The open world is huge, but I feel like its dead and I'm the only one on the planet!
Massive AI Fleets in lower rated ship brackets: I've seen quite few of these massive Ai Santisimas with 24 large ships in their fleet. But why just the 1st rate ship of the lines? Why not other ratings like 6th and 5th ai massive fleets? That way everyone can hop onto the train and have fun even if they don't have a ship of the line!
Ship Customization/Cosmetics: Ok so this idea is a big one for me. One thing that every successful online game has that makes it so addicting and successful, is giving the players the ability to customize their appearances and look unique! In PoTCO, you were able to customize the appearance of your entire ship. The sails color, emblems on the sails and even the ship itself with different colors and textures! In AC: Black Flag, we could put different Bow Figures on our ship. All of this really let us stand out and look unique! They allowed us to place our mark on our avatars and that's a good thing I think this game would greatly benefit from!
Now lets get to the meat and potatoes! 😊😐😦😠😈 Possible content I'd like to see!
Battlegrounds: The ability to que up for something and participate in a massive battle with other players. It's an online game, we need to be able to compete against or with eachother in a fixed environment! Possible types of battlegrounds? How about this! 😈 Survival mode: You and friends vs an endless army of AI ships! The more you sink the better the reward you get when you finally become fish food! When you finally do sink to davy jones locker, you still have your ship when you teleport back into open world. 😈 Deathmatch: You and your nation can que and participate in a deathmatch with another nation! 😈WWIII Deathmatch: You and your nation vs whom? THE ENTIRE WORLD MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!💀
And last but not least....The final thing I think this games community would really like to see....
Rare Trader Fleets: These rare fleets would function similar to the royal navy fleets that would appear every now and then in PoTCO open world. Every so often throughout the day - maybe once or twice - a rare, massive trader fleet will appear in the open ocean. These fleets will have rare items and resources in their hold. Or just alot of junk to vendor at a port for alot of gold. Nonethless, making it worthwhile for any captain to wanna try and take on the massive fleet! Like Mr. Gibbs liked to say in PoTC: Take what you can! Give nothing back!
Anyways, so this is it for me...I think these ideas would be greatly appreciated and would really help to make the game alot more fun overall and bring in new players! More content can't go wrong! I hope you guys consider my ideas, and I hope everyone else likes them! Thanks for reading!
