Pagan Pete Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Can any of ye scurvy landlubbers who voted "Nay" explain to my why you like to be blinded by a mast in yer puss? Normally, the Captain would just step to the side and have a look around it, but that aint an option here. Explain yerselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prater Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We already have the option for transparent sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagan Pete Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 We already have the option for transparent sails. Yes, but you still can't see with a great big tree in front of you in many ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEagleGER Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Tell me Pete, where do you have your camera? When I am underway my own masts don't "blind" me, infact I personally think it would take away too much atmosphere when the whole rigging vanishes when zoomed in.

maturin Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We need immersive keybind masthead, fighting top and forecastle views, not more ugly transparency. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagan Pete Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Pagan Pete fights with his camera right on the deck, like a captain of olde! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Pagan Pete fights with his camera right on the deck, like a captain of olde! And the on-deck camera views are terrible, exactly. We need something like this: Numpad 8: Forecastle view Numpad 2: Quarterdeck/helm view Numpad 5: Mainmasthead view etc, etc 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 And the on-deck camera views are terrible, exactly. We need something like this: Numpad 8: Forecastle view Numpad 2: Quarterdeck/helm view Numpad 5: Mainmasthead view etc, etc we can't do it yet, due to other priorities. Some day we will add those features. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Caldwell Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What's next transparent ships.... no keep it as it is, or introduce on-deck camera views as above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagan Pete Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) What's next transparent ships.... That argument tactic is known as "Reduction to the absurd". It is about as valid as my forged letter of marque! Yarrr! But I be satisfied that if Admiral Admin says there will be different camera views, that be good enough for Pagan Pete!

Funny_Bunny Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Id like transparent masts… but i can wait for the camera. as long as i know its coming. Edited September 15, 2015 by Funny_Bunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagan Pete Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 It may seem absurd to you Sir but someone would ask for it.... Ye be known' what is in Pagan Pete's head now, do ye? Seems a bit uncredible. Did Pagan Pete ASK for transparent ships? Don't ye be tryin to put words in me mouth… Leave that comment for the flea infested bilge rat that does ask for transparent ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vovolov Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 If you're going to make sails transparent to provide visibility you might as well include a transparency effect for anything that gets in front of the camera, in my opinion. Either do it properly or get rid of it completely and have obstructed views be a part of the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Vincent Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'd prefer to see features like transparency removed completely. Ships fought with courses, spritsail etc clewed up, reefed or furled for good reason - to avoid having them catch fire from the muzzle flash and fragments of burning wadding (which is another feature that I'd like to see, frankly), but also to improve visibility in combat. It may not be a high priority for the devs, but I'll be content to wait for fo'c'sle/masthead/quarterdeck/etc views. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booyaah Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I would prefer the multiple camera angles like maturin suggested. Hopefully the devs find time to add these eventually... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint George Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Try zooming out. Shouldn't be sailing zoomed in the first place. Personally, the only time I am zoomed is when I shoot. Creates better situational awareness and keeps ya from doing things like crossing the bow of an ally and getting rammed or blocking their shot or ramming them.

Hethwill Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Said Aye but would definitely would like the second mast camera snap to be solved and then I could do away with the transparent masts as the camera angle is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
