Sent the Devs the following suggestions

[The.Grand.Nagus]

I sent the Devs the following suggestions:

1) There should always be SOME kind of loot/reward digging. I'm not saying you should find a quest item every time, but when you dont you should at least find a few coins for taking the time to do it.

2) When breaking out of prison, you should have to manualy attack the cell door instead of just watching your character do it. It should be given a health bar, and you should have to attack it either with your sword, pistol, or voodoo doll to get out. On that same note, digging should be a manual process too. Instead of sitting there watching your character dig, you should have to press shift a few times to dig up the treasure chest.

3) There should be two new types of vendors added: a Tailor and a Barber. The tailor should allow you to buy new clothes, and the Barber should allow you to change your hairstyle. This would give players who are tired of their look a way to change it without having to start over,and it would provide a money sink to remove money from the economy.

4) The mouse wheel should zoom in/out on your character while on land just like it does on your ship at sea. You can already switch between weapons using the F keys, so there is no need to have two ways to do it, especialy if it replaces having a zoom on land.

5) All enemy ships should be boardable, not just flagships. I realize that not everyone wants to board every ship they fight, so once a ship is disabled there should simply be an option to destroy or board it.

6) Challenging a player to a "skirmish" from their player menu should allow the two of you to PvP at your current location, without being "undead".

7) There should be some kind of "reward" system for getting the most PvP kills. It doesnt have to be items, but at least some kind of badge.

What do you think?

I agree completely with number 4!!!

I hate only having one view of my Pirate...

Good one!

I'm not really into 2 and 6, but the others are interesting.

In beta 1, you were able to dig for treasure. I don't know why it was changed. Apparently we were all just running around digging for treasure to get gold all too often.

I'm not sure I like the idea of having to manually dig, or manually get out of jail. There's too much clicking as it is.

The tailor and barber idea is awesome. There's already a seamstress, maybe they can use her.

I really don't have a reason to zoom in on my character, but I do like using the mouse wheel to quickly change weapons when fighting.

I think the devs need to rework the war frigate. When you're at the upper deck guns, the sails are in the way, and you can't see what you're shooting at.

I'm a big fan of #4. I hate when I accidentally scroll the mouse wheel and end up with the wrong weapon in my hands. I think the F keys are sufficient and zooming makes more sense.

Agree with the greens, completely agree. How do you send in suggestions btw?

[Vangelis]

I agree with all suggestions.

However, good luck trying to get them to listen to you. Good luck indeed.

[Davy]

Great suggestions, I hope they put them into the game! Especially the Jail, Digging, and Clothes/Hair ones.

[billieboi]

Number 2 is the only one that I dont like, I dont mind the animations at all. It'd be a bit tedious if you had to keep clicking to get out of jail or dig, as someone else said "there's too much clicking as it is."

[Anonymous]

#2 reminds me of the tug-o-war game in Toontown. Yikes - Carpal Tunnel syndrome!!!!!

[Peggo]

I'm onboard with number 3. I hate my hair! And I could use some new threads too.

[DrStinglock]

um, number 7 is answered here http://apps.pirates.go.com/pirates/v...aderboads.html

[Jman2112]

With #6, we could have guild wars!

[Silver Beard]

I do not like #2 or #4 but everything else woot! yea! go!.....lol simply:yes

[DKpirate]

I love the suggestion for a barber and tailor. Not so thrilled about PvP options. However, that is just my preferences.
