      Ok, hear me out:
      1: Take one of the storms and make it more “exciting” to be in and less “annoying” to be in (see my ideas further below if interested).
      2: Eliminate the second storm. Instead, make TWO “storm-sized-areas” that are “calm water” areas which move around the map just like the storms do.
      3. The waves within these two “calm water” areas are just like the water around islands.
      4: If these calm water areas collide as they’re moving around the map, the overlapping area has reduced wind speed and completely flat water.
      1Extras:
      A) either reduce the severity of the wheel turning, or add a rope to lock the wheel in place.
      B) increase the wind speed and the overall boat speed to create a more exciting (wave-jumping) ride through the storm.
      C) In place of the aggressive steering wheel, just make the water fill your boat up faster - especially when you fly off one wave and crash down into/under the next wave.

    IDEA ALERT: Perhaps maybe some more dynamic oceans are in order.
    What if there was... Whirlpool, Maelstrom, rogue waves, waterspouts, towering Waters, Tsunami, Riptides and tides?
    🌀Whirlpool: getting caught in one of these drastically changes the direction where your ship is moving and puts your vessel in a spin. It will also gradually damage your ship the more you stay in it. The smaller the vessel, the more trapped in the vortex you will be. If your pirate fails to stay above the surface while caught in the vortex, they will begin drowning immediately. Before reaching the middle and instantly dying and being sent to the fairy the Damned.
    🕳️Maelstrom: A much more open basin Whirlpool that might have some valuable shipwrecks swirling around it. To effectively move around, this massive funnel, ships need to match the movement of the tide and effectively " surf" To effectively get out, Or sink to the bottom where you will effectively pop out somewhere else in the world at random with a random amount of water filled in your ship without damage.
    🌊Rogue Waves: towering waves that will knock your ship around and inflict heavy damage unless you're able to face the the wave head on.
    🌪️Waterspouts: sea tornadoes. Comes in three tiers. Each tier bigger than the last And more deadly. Tier 1 Will manipulate the nearby winds.
    Tier 2 will include pulling, treasure and pirates off of their ship and swirling them around before hurling them somewhere else.
    Tier 3 includes the latter and also The possibility of PICKING UP YOUR SHIP.
    All tears of water spouts will have debris being hurled around. Sometimes they'll be loot inside of the tornado, but most of the time it's barrels, cannonballs, cannons, anything that could inflict massive damage to you or your ship if you are unlucky enough to get hit by it.
    ⛲Towering waters: In certain areas, waves and Waters will vary in size and Cascade. Sometimes ships will have to " climb" at an angle To take advantage of the height difference.
    🏄Tsunami: A massive wave event that will Target Islands at random. For example, let's say that you are on wanderers refuge doing pirate stuff. You begin. He arranged some dramatic music, And then the Beach shore water suddenly begins to pullback. Then you see a towering tidal wave incoming. It's slow, and there's a lot of time to prepare, You would have to "Surf" This Wave to either its ends on your ship to successfully survive it without damage. Fail to do so, and your ship will take massive damage and you will be sent to the ferry the Damned if you're caught in the break of the wave. Additionally, the island it was targeting will be flooded temporarily.
    🏊Riptides: found in between the calm of Island Waters, and open sea, riptides Are kind of like speed boosters with an attitude. Sail on these directly to gain a slingshot speed boost in the direction it faces. Pirates caught in the riptide however will always go under and take damage.
    🚣Tides: imagine you were at reaper's hideout, you're trying to cash in, and you suddenly hit that stupid sand bank that you always forget is there because it's always just below the water surface. In the instance of low tide, you'd be able to see more of the island's typography. The contrary, during high tide, more of the island will be covered.

    I mean if the sloop is slow enough to joke about being 20 mins behind the other ships maybe it needs a speed boost. I do like your change ideas though. Maybe they should add maelstroms and whatnot too that would give a speed boost as you went into it. Another comment said something about reefs and sandbars and stuff that only sloops could go over and that would be fun too I think. Sloops do need something to happen. Its really impossible to play right now as a solo slooper. I can't leave my first port without looking behind me and seeing another ship who is willing to chase me for an hour even though I have nothing. Why would I want to play the game if I can't even play the game.

    I also say that sloops should have areas to tuck underneath and sneak through terrain. Anyone remember threading the needle at Sunken Grove?
    A good example of a smaller, more maneuverable ship handling the islands better.
    Perhaps the brigantine with its flatter hull and long shape could be slowed down less by keelhauling a sandbar, and be more resistant to terrain damage.
    Where sloops and Galleons have to avoid beaching themselves, a speedy brig can jump the sand and keep going.

    I kinda like this idea, giving more effects on ships from water to bring a better balance to the game would be an interesting way to rebalance the ship situation, possibly some new weather and water effects would be a nice addition as well to keep things interesting on the water beyond the storm and sea monsters and skellie ships. However, I still think some adjustments to how wind effects ships should be done still, ignoring that it had been changed and dramatically giving one ship a larger advantage over others is a pretty glaring problem and should be addressed directly regardless.

    Something I've been saying for ages that should be added to the game is wakes. I think adding wakes could really add interesting dynamics to the world and to sailing and ship speed in general, as well as adding some awesome realism. Crossing over another ship's wake, especially a recent one, could seriously impact a ship's speed, effectively acting like an oceanic speed bump. Galleons would leave massive wakes, while sloops leave tiny ones. Imagine a sloop or brig getting caught in the wake of a galleon and careening over it like it's gone over a ramp, or maybe even forcing the wheel to turn in the direction of the wake. Also, slip streams could be a thing, allowing smaller ships to follow bigger ones and take advantage of the speed boost. I think it could make sailing in the game really dynamic and way more interesting!

    Does each ship accelerate to max speed (no wind boost) within the same timeframe? If not, perhaps the sloop can do so the fastest, giving it a chance to not get immediately overtaken by the galley or brig that's rushing toward them while the sloop is parked at an island. Would also help in situations where both ships are hit by anchor balls, giving the sloop an advantage in the recovery aspect.

  • @sSteppingStones
    @sSteppingStones 12 днів тому

    I would love a realistic sailing system that takes skill. Then if you catch someone/manage to get away is about who is better at sailing instead of who has the faster boat.
    Having the sail move in it's own when you tack or jibe would be sick. The fastest route wouldn't always be the direct one. Tacking to get a better angle on the wind would add more depth. And sail management would mabey even be less hassle because on real boats you set how far the boom can swing and then it just does it's thing depending on the wind direction.
    I would love for the helm to have something more interesting to do

  • @nickallard28
    @nickallard28 13 днів тому

    It sounds great but I see that the problem is that some ships will end up with I speed advantage in more scenarios. For example the one faster in open ocean would be faster the most as most of the map is open ocean. Meanwhile wind direction offers a way to escape no matter where you are. This needs to be the
    case as new crews don’t have a chance against veteran ones so they need that simple out to give them a chance.
    The devs got pretty close to reality with the current boat speeds. But if we want to revamp it I say more crew means a slower boat, it plays to the strengths associated with the crew. Small crews have to play smart and more passively to win the day while big crews need to overwhelm smaller crews by playing aggressively and fast.

  • @adamleblanc5294
    @adamleblanc5294 7 днів тому

    Honestly, the sloop needs to be some amount faster. Not even for PVP balance, but because it takes forever to sail from point A to point B in a sloop. Then when you get to where you're going, it takes longer to finish what you're doing because you have a smaller crew. Playing on a sloop significantly slows your rate of progress because of that.

  • @jordick8427

    I agree with everything in this video. You could also put in a weight portion to it. More weight going up a wave slows but speeds up going down. And vice versa. With the brig being middled. Now if they would actually make this happen id come back and play......but im still waiting till it does. If it doesn't i will never play it again. And that doesn't bother me.

    • @boopjack9522
      @boopjack9522 14 днів тому

      In heavy waves the galleon is always the fastest. In storm waves every ship slows to a crawl. Though if you are sailing perpendicular to the waves (heavy or calm) the sloop gets pushed around the least.
      There is probably a bit more to it then that but that is what I've seen in my experience

  • @davidthewhitewolf6257

    I wish that they'd make it harder to give sloops 2nd and 3rd tier holes, having 1 cannon per side, is a huge disadvantage. And usually when fixing while fighting a larger ship, is essentially pointless, because at the point i fix a hole, there is either 3 or 5 new tier 2 / 3 holes, and I sink.

    I absolutely agree that the brig is the fastest ship, but I'm a believer that that's about all it has going for it, so it should remain the fastest.
    It's the only ship where every hit it takes will be a lower deck, it doesn't allow you to have your entire crew firing on the same side like the galley, and it's the hardest ship to harpoon loot off of in a timely fashion.

    I totally agree that they don't need to nerf the ships. But I believe they should change the seas. There are no currents. There is no change in the way the water behaves in each ocean. It always flows one direction. Sailing skill is a factor in ship strategy but as the helmsman, the sea offers no challenge to sail. And there is no joy in sailing because of this. I believe they need to add more Variety to the sea's behavior so the crew needs to know more about the sea to function as a proper crew. But I truely do love the effort the crew at rare has put into to make sailing as realistic as they have. It's amazing how they have set the ships movement to respond so accurately to the ways. I can't wait to see the seas change and grow.

    We do not need a dramatic overall to sailing physics not every game needs hyper realism to be fun. The reworks to most live service games is what eventually kills then for me due to them never feeling like the same game update to update. I genuinely may never return to this game if sailing physics are too overhauled.

    I feel they should make the ships behave as they would in the real world. Turning your sails hard left to catch starboard wind is a dangerous thing to do. 45° to side wind will actually make you travel faster than the wind due to lift. Full left or right sails (plus tacking) is advantageous when traveling into the wind.
    Making the sailing more realistic would both allow sailors to translate their irl skills into the game as well as educate players on how sailing actually works; and it would make sense.
