AOP: addon wishes

summersurfer

Landlubber
my wishes/proposals are

- diffrent and (more than in POTC) exciting jungles
- chests
- more freedom in cities (like if you got a picklock you could try to open normal houses)
- random Quests "find treasure" on Isle .....
- a few little story-sidequests (like in POTC)
- a lot of beaches (like you could walk around the (full) isle's on beaches)
- random Quest "find the house of .... on isle .... and steal him/her .... and bing it to .... on isle. (with the risk that a lot of soliders on land note that you are a thief and run after you)
- more intresting holes/dungeons than in POTC (the dungeons in POTC get fast very boring)
- a secret marketplace/shop under cities (?) where you could get (random) things cheapper.

A "very-cool-(less effort to put it in)-amazing-feature" --> Diving

yes that's right, let your player give the uportunity to dive into the water instead of only swimming. That will give the player already plenty of freedom, let's say you can hold you breath for 1 minute, and you can dive to stuff in the water like "pearls" a sunken shipwreck near the coast for exploration etc....

I really hope that grayangel or Urfin reads this to purpose it to your dev-crew, Correct me if I'm wrong but the only thing to do is fill up your water engine (so make it 3d filled wave instead of a flat wave with nothing under).. it's btw quiet unrealistic to see when your ship is sinking in a black hole, or see sharks "floating" in the black darkness" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

After that, the animation of swimming and mod some shipwreck models.. and it's done (ok, easier said than done :p) but this feature wouldn't be to hard to implent, would it? and believe me, it's one of the main feature's that still misses in a pirate game.. !
 
btw, I must say that the water in AOP looks really good, love the soft mild colors.. reminds me a little of the atmosphere of san andreas, just gives the game that little extra historic <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
I wonder, if akella would create a pirate game that has the environment like GTA....that would be good...more freedom...
 
Im presuming the game doesnt have this, but i would love to see more sail options, not just full, battle and furled.

You could have a drop down box with a picture of your ship with full sails, and you could tick boxes beside certain sails to decide whether to set them or not. You wouldnt need any animation for raising them, just put them up, possibly after a short time delay.

This would make a huge difference on the sailing model, im not looking for the detail of virtual sailor, but you would have to take care what amount of sail you had up in bad weather, else if you were being chased and somehting carried away, you would lose alot of speed and possible be overhauled.
