Grim DeGrim Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 We used to have these. Anyone know of a thread explaining their removal? They were beautiful, and fairly challenging. I miss the foggy battle instance... Less. But it was ok too. Any plans to bring the storms back? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 So far as I know, they're back already. The storms just seem to be really rare on the OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 So far as I know, they're back already. The storms just seem to be really rare on the OW. well last time i was in a storm(a couple of weeks before early access release), the battle instance was just regular calm weather.

Grim DeGrim Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Really??? Then I am hopefully. Maybe a PB during a storm might bring that on... I hope to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim DeGrim Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 As a post note: I have not been in, nor heard of, a battle with the Strom seas since the release. You'd know, as someone would have posted how much they hate them. Lol. But they truly are immersive and challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeShot Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 They were ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim DeGrim Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Ridiculously good. It is ridiculous that every battle we fight is in perfect seas. Bring back big stormy battles! Protest tomorrow night at Kingston / Port Royal! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verseaux Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Its the same for the wind, everytime its the same pattern. This two things could break the routine of fights wich become to be all the time the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4DD4WG Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Not just storms, which I would have to agree, in battles are worth it. Very nice gameplay to be had with a good storm. Also, the instances don't seem to be synchronized with what is happening in the OW. It could be pouring the rain in OW, but enter the instance, and now its calm, or even sunny. Plus, the "missions" are the worst! Every mission will start you out with wind from the port side at 90deg, and enemies right in front of you. No matter which way you were facing going into the battle..Heck, they got it very close when attacking a trader, but always the same on missions? A little more randomness if they can't sync. missions to the OW weather. But, seeing that they can with an "attack", means they should be able to do the same with a mission. Or you would think so... Another little peeve...Wind speed....I get why it would never be 0, or gale force. Fun over realistic any day! But, some fluctuation would be nice. I don't expect any suggestion to be instantly implemented. There is plenty of time for "quality" of gameplay. I just hope they don't ignore it till the very end....lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalrus Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I agree with a lot of what is being said here. Storm instances would be great, and making the weather a real danger would be fantastic for depth and immersion. Wind fluctuation would be neat as well. Hopefully, these are all things the devs are working on, but they have so much on their plates that they haven't talked about it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Rice Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Oh the days of just skirmish battles before open world in storms....those where fun but yea it is rare to see any big wave during battle but i dont think i would want to see more after a few battle any ways....

charognard666 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Have u ever fight in a real fogy instance ? It'd be really cool ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubble Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yes, I agree that this i needed. I would like to see awful storms with huge rogue waves, in battles and the open world. They wouldnt have to be that common, but would really add to the immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Thrudd Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) If you listen to the dev discussion with Braincage and skip to 1:20:30. They talk about the storm combat map Edited February 16, 2016 by Cmdr Thrudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickNixon Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Seconded. I know it wasn't a fan favorite, but I too miss the storm map. I think one of the reasons people disliked it is that in the old battle lobby setting, there was no control as to whether or not it popped up. Tying to the OW weather would allow one to (somewhat) avoid it if its not their cup'o tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Dekker Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 ships wouldnt have fought in storm since they couldnt open the gun doors without running full of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 ships wouldnt have fought in storm since they couldnt open the gun doors without running full of water that would depend on the ship and how bad the storm is(well regarding the gun ports at least), ships of line would have an issue with water running right through the bottom gun deck, however the issue would be less prominent on a ship like the constitution where the gun ports are quite high above the sea level.

Cossack Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 They would be great, it makes sense not to engange an enemy fleet in stormy weather, yet if you are ambushed by a much larger force the stormy weather can give you a good chance to escape. Just make storms and fog very rare, it is way to common right now in the OW. having one stormy battle instance out of 30 odd is hardly going to become annoying. I think it would add to the game.
