Sailors,
Ok first off i have to say wow love what we have so far in this game . Been looking for something like this for so many years and no one has even come close to making this a reality till now .
With that said things i love about this game are the navigation is hard which makes it more realistic hope they DO NOT include a map with icon of your location that would ruin this game i think .
Things that i think would make this game even more appealing to others and more than what it is :
1-First off starting with 0 gold is hard enough to make money trading should at least start with something to kick start a life at sea .
2-Would love to see a first person view from the wheel / captains eyes during sailing or combat as well , zooming in puts you in the middle of ship not at the captains point of operation .
3-Not sure if it is in or not have not tested this yet but i hope you gain exp for buying then selling at another port like in trade goods and so on. (got to appeal to the merchants as well)
4-Option to customize ship as in color , sail color , crest .
5-Maybe down the road have a more social network at ports . Lets face it most games with a large and more friendly social network tend to last longer and do better for the gamer and developers .
6-Slow sailing down in the hi sea's a tad bit little fast ( just my opinion and we all know opinions are like rear door's we all have them
7-Conquerable ports of some sort for clans / guilds would make for some great guild / clan wars to fight for something they can collect taxes on for guild / clan funds
8-Friend list / buddy list , be nice to add friends / buddies and see when there on or pm them so you can communicate locations and chat strategy with them .
9- ill think of more ideas i think would be nice to see in game .
thanks
