Would you like storms in POTCO?
 

Who would like to see weather or large storms such as hurricanes in POTCO? I myself would like that after D begins to expand the Caribbean.

That would be fun sailing into a middle of a huge storm XD.

It all depends what I would be sailing into the bad weather. I know I wouldn't be using
a Xebec in the middle of a hurricane, It has to shallow of a draft, but if sailing a heavy strong ship like a East Indiaman, sure,
I'll sail through Hell and back with my crew. :mat:

"Brace the foreyards, lighten the main stay, get me my tea, and whatever you do, don't forget the crumpets!" :pirate91:

Nuju-

Little occasional rain might be interesting. But big storms? No thanks. And not till we get other real new content!

OoOo Nuju DONT SAY THAT and i say YES!!! TORNADOES!! EVERYTHING!

Maybe some snow in the winter too.

Of course I want storms! That would not only be a great addition to game visually, but it would also test a sailors skills a little more when your trying to fight a Juggernaut in a downpour.

And as for hurricanes, meh, why not!

I would be interesting in seeing weather. Having your ship break a waves crest and slide down the backside would be really cool. Weather could damage yer sails, lighting crashes into yer ship and the rolling waves disturb your line of direction. Ye would be putting yer ship and yer life (trip to jail) at risk.

While I would love to see it I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

I would want less lag first... Think of the lag with storms :lol:

Snow in the Caribbean? That won't happen for another 189,000 years! :smiley18:

I think leveling up the Juggernaut's power will be me next poll.That level 30 mastered sailing gives more edge I would imagine.I would like fighting a Juggernaut in a tropical storm myself! :sailr:

Well, since this is a game I really don't see why not.

I've been asking for this for quite some time. It would be cool to battle Undead ships while being spun around ( auto-pilot, no need to turn or go forward/backward or raise/lower sails ) on a giant whirlpool.

Also, while a storm is going on, the Thunderbolt cannon ammo gets a 5%-15% damage boost ( depending on how bad the storm is. The worse it is, the better your Thunderbolt ).
NPC Ships also get the damage boost, to even the odds.

Hurricanes could just push you around, get in your way and turn your ship off course. Or, in other words, be very annoying.

This would make POTC 100X better!

Well, did you see snow in POTCO 1-3, aside from them traveling to the Arctic?

Would love it! Weather in the caribbean would make everything more interesting, even on land. Think about how it would be to fight hand to hand in the rain, not just sailing combat. This idea will be on my list of dreams for POTCO. I doubt that disney will want to add this soon if at all.

no why not for winter, certain parts of the Caribbean experience snow because Jolly stole a snow amulet and made it snow in ooarts of the Caribbe. in the prequel novels, Hernando Cotres uses his sword and Jack Sparrow to summon snow storms...

Storms might be fun, but:

There is only ONE thing I want in POTCO:

The SECOND STORY CHAPTER!

A major, long term, multi-faceted QUEST that follows some sort of story line and helps me to progress my character and his development!

I'm tired of standing in one place in Tormenta and killing the same three Thralls/Urchins in order to level my Cutlass/ Pistol/ Dagger/ Doll/ Grenades/ Staff and Notoriety.

Disney has to do better than this.

Really, Jolly Roger want to mess up Global Weather Patterns too?
Can we please step back into reality, (And Don't say "It's a Game!" I'm tired of hearing that!) and talk some about sensible weather, like maybe Dead Calms or Rouge Waves, but all of this sounds more POTBS related, they Actually have weather when Sailing, Storms, Dead Calms, and Heat Waves, that all take effects on Accuracy, Reload Rate, Crew Morale and so on. And to finish off the snow topic, don't you see too many pirates wearing nothing but T shirts, if not a shirt at all? They would be freezing, just like me and DTP.

Nuju-

Winter Clothing! Now they have an excuse to increase clothing inventory caps too.

I guess it would be pretty cool, but, do we get killed? What happends really?

Well ,if you sink in a tropical storm I would say the same as if a Juggernaut did it,jail.Perhaps every large wave could even take some damage to your ship.Then possably even re-introduce the old sailing timer.

Sailing threw giant typhoons while trying to kill a very high ship? That sounds like a challenge for me!!!! Just imagine the graphics required though to create the clouds and rain.... And all that LAG!!!!! I would love to have storms, but big D will need quite some new upgrades....

You know, this actually made me remember that old Timer. Not to go off-topic, but I'd really like it if Disney put that back in. You don't find it normal that a ship is stuck at sea forever, do you?

Even though the timer was annoying, it added yet another great challenge at sea. Hurrying to Outcast before those last 14 seconds are over.

Back On-Topic: Chances are, Disney might PROBABLY add weather elements as time goes by. For now, though, they have other things to worry about...

Hmm Idk Weathers would be Epic but just think of all the lag it will cause. =/

I like the idea of storms for all the reasons stated (not so sure about snow lol). My concern is all the lag it would most certainly cause. The programming that would be involved would be complex and it would be very taxing of computer systems I'm sure. Probably only computers with high end graphics cards could handle it. For me the storms aren't worth the cost in playability.

I would say go for it Disney. As we all may know, there were alot of storms in the potco movies aye? The Maelstrom is POTCO 3, the Rain in POTCO 3, the main characters all had to survive that. I think it would be awesome and realistic, but that would cause lag, and disney would have to take some detail out of other things. Is it worth it guys?

I would so no That lag would be so bad when storms happen you would just ether get kicked or lag untill you get mad and turn of your Comp. Maybe if they made it a mode Like turn weather on or turn weather off. Like they have with 3-D that would be alot better.

Voting "Yes, I would like storms and Ect." is like voting for more lag, so I picked perhaps.... without lag.
