Would you like storms in POTCO?

[djr_8fan]

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.

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

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.

[Bubba Bunny x]

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...

[Ben Lockshot]

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

[Dan_OB]

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.

[James Bladefury]

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.

[Buck Seahawk]

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