I just think the game could offer us much more. Here are some more of my ideas.
Characters:
Look at the Video Insider: The making of, video
here. Pause when you get to david talking about the characters. You can see that the characters he has on his computer look much more different than our characters in the game. Their faces have much more details, their ears, eyebrows, chin, etc...
Why don't we have these good graphics in the game right now? My computer would be able to handle those graphics. I guess we'll have to wait about five years before the character details are as good as the video shows.
Activities: Including PVP, etc...
After playing need for speed undercover I thought, hey, if the cops and robbers can work in a car game why not in pirates?
But instead of cops and robbers, I was thinking navy and Pirates or EITC and robbers. Imagine taking gold and then trying to drop it off in a certain location while enemies attack you with cannon balls. All you need is good aim.
The reason why I thought cannon balls instead of the enemies doing one on one was because of our current PVP status. People can jump around you and avoid attacks easily. If we have a pirates trying to dodge navy cannon balls then it's going to be much more fair when the pirate is jumping around like crazy.
We should also have an island strictly for PVP. In other games there are areas for just PVPing. Why not an island? There could be two forts, one for the pirates and one of the navy. You wouldn't be able to chose what side. When teleporting or docking at the island you would be put on a side according to how many people are on the pirates side and how many are on the navys. You could take each others fort, etc...
PVP could be a lot better and I just think an island with a navy and pirate fort would be cool.
More Ships and ship customization:
If Disney or the POTCO devs look around POF at all then I think it's fair to ask them to add in at least three more ships classes to the game. We wouldn't be able to hold more ships but two more ships would be unlocked at level 20, and a third at level 25 when you master your sailing level.
The ships you unlock at level 20 would be similar to the war galleon and war sloop, only they'd look different. They'd also be more powerful and a bit faster. They would only be classified as war ships because they're so powerful.
The last ship to unlock would be similar to the Black Pearl, only it's wood would be a different color. It would be able to hold 18 cargo and would have double to HP of a war frigate.
Of course with these ships we'd need to see higher level enemy ships.
For ship customization we'd need different flags, masts, hulls, etc... We would be able to change our sails color, damage(like the black pearls), size, etc...
We would be able to unlock black flags through quests. I mean if you could just go out and buy a skull and cross bones flag then that defeats the whole perpose. I'd like to earn a pirate flag instead of going out and buying it.
We would also have different cannons, a captains cabin, below decks, and you would be able to go up to the top mast to look out for enemy ships. You would be able to see twice as far once up there.
For below decks you would be able to buy more cannons and place them there. You could go down and fire from there, although your site wouldn't be as good as up above.
In a captains cabin you could add in activities like dart, poker, black jack, etc... You would be able to decorate your desk and make it look filthy like the Pearls. You could set a glob on your desk and view it to see the direction your ship is going while your crew is controling the ship. You could look out the windows to see the ocean, too.
Pirate items:
Why is it that this is a pirate game but we still don't have eye patches, peg legs, a hook hand, or even a parrot on our shoulders?
Add those in and a lot of people would be able to customize their pirate more.
The catch is, you have to level up these pirates before buying these items. I can understand a level 30 pirate needing a peg leg but not a level five. They haven't fought enough enemies yet.
I want to earn the damage.(not in real life, though.)
Also, if we get attacked by a certain enemy we should be able to buy "scars" at the tatoo shop.
Ok, that's it. Sorry if this post wasn't that organized. I just wanted to get my ideas out in the open.
