blubasso Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just as cosmetics, but i’d like to have every morning a bulletin on weather. A well experienced sailor can predict weather at sea, and in port Admirality could give the wather fo tomorrow, just in the port area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navalus Magnus Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 That would make sense if storms were implemented into the game ... nevermind, we already had that latter topic discussed to no avail 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKurj Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yep there are storms, it would be nice to have some idea of what the weather is while in port, including wind direction. Perhaps turn port into an OW instance, where you are looking out from the admiralty house from the balcony. Also permitting the use of the spyglass so you can see what ships/players are moving in and out the harbour or parked outside wating to gank 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was from a daring storm raid and run from KPR the other night, posted by @koiz in the screenshots section. The ships pursuing us are visible on the horizon, backlit from the lightning. It was incredibly impressive to see because in the moments between lightning they were invisible through the rain and clouds: But only ow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odol Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The admin said he removed storms from battles because of people complaining about not being able to hit anything. I also think it is a bit unrealistic, as two ships wouldnt DARE open their gun ports in heavy seas and try and fire at another ship, they would have no chance at hitting. And just increase the risk to their own ship. They would just weather out the storm and wait till calmer weather to engage their enemy. And honestly you can tell the weather pretty easily. I just pop out of port for a second, look at the sky and the sea. If it has white caps on the waves, I know a storm is coming, if it is calm looking, I know it is not going to be stormy for a while. Little secret about this game, ADMIN has modeled in the wave effects of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little reading about a stormy battle involving the RL HMS Indefatigable vs. a French 74 (which could not open her lower deck gun ports) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_of_13_January_1797 While wave effect are modeled in game, wind effects are not.

The fun should be to win the battle against the storm, don’t sink or don’t have your ship demasted, but we should have stoms implemented...

To change it back to normal the server would need a shut down and restart. SAD! Edited January 30, 2018 by Navalus Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubasso Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Talking about storm, a battle against a storm could be inserted in the sailor’s tutorial, as ultimate challenge: facing up a storm and go out alive... You need to be a good sailor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
