What I Would Like

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

First off, NEW CONTENT. Before any other changes, I would like to see the new story chapter--all the way to a final Boss Battle.

Next, I would like to see sailing improved. Add wind direction (variable) with speed (also variable) so that sailing is more like sailing, and less like motoring aorund. Also, with these changes it would also make sense to adjust what ship speeds are, and how different ships and sail plans handle (fare-and-aft sails beat better into the wind, square-rigged ships sail better running).

Next, I would like to see a better selection of ships and ship customization. Not only are the hulls ridiculous, but the sail plans are just wrong. The Light Sloop and Sloop are indeed sloops, but the War Sloop is actually a Yawl. The Light Frigate is a Brig (minus the spanker sail), while the Frigate and War Frigates are actually Galleon-rigged. The Light Galleon is rigged like a Brig (minus the spanker again), but the Galleon and War Galleon are fully rigged ships. So, I would like a choice of hull size (light, standard, and War still work) and a choice of sail plans. Choose between fore-and-aft sail plans or square-rigged. From there choose the specific sail-plan according to size of boat and type of sail. All of this affects your ship's speed and maneuverability.

Next, ground combat. I think it's pretty good, but the ability to personalize yoru fighting technique went away when the update hit allowing us to retrain skills, In order to use certain combo moves we have to use the move before. I would like to see players be able to use just the combo moves they want to use, and also be able to plce them in any order they like. Why can't a pirate just do a stab? The NPC's do.

Clothes. I'm getting tired of seeing all the cool clothes the NPCs have and knowing I can't get them. They got striped pants, and shorts, and blue hats and all kinds of things. Also, the boot thing is cool, but boots just weren't that common during the time. Shoes (with thhe big ol' buckle) were, and there's at least ONE NPC I've found wearing them. How about sailor's slops? Maybe the cooler and cooler clothes could be made available based on level? Meaning, a level 7 player could get basic slops or stockings and shoes, but the full Captain Jack outfit only for those who master?

HAIRSTYLES! Jack Sparrow runs around in three movies with long hair and dreadlocks. Long hair on men was COMMON during the Golden Age of Piracy. We need (males and females) more hairstyles. Mohawk? We have a mohawk but no long hair? That makes no sense.

That will do for now. Of course, I have a thousand other suggestions, but these will take 2 years.
