Changing Winds

Can we get some sort of update for this game? maybe some balancing stuff and new quests? maybe add a way for new players to get items instead of all the higher level pirates getting all the items?

There are new quests starting this month, but balance is always a difficult thing. I'm open to suggestions.

add settlements to the islands(can start new quests, trade items, buy items)

new ships, rehaul the available ships

Add new Cannon types (fire shots, drop oil in battle for extra damage etc)

add factions- factions have different buffs for the pirates that have joined that faction and certain quests that buff skills during battle- would add a huge dynamic to battle and fleet wars---for example the trade faction gives more nav points and training modifier to nav crew training, assassin faction gives makes assn cost less and more effective and gives ship speed %, and extra


I have so many ideas...

diagonal movement (maybe after a certin level)

more than one of some items dropping so you actually have a chance of getting one (set a default to where if one person in a fleet gets an item, No one else can until the next reset)

S.O.B. Those are particularly interesting ideas. I'm happy to hear more, either in a message or here.

Diagonal movement is also interesting. Sounds like a good idea for a quest reward.

How about for fleets, being able to explore from the home port shared map. that way if one uses incense/reef chart/island chart then you can easily see all of that instead of having to count squares and toggle back and forth between the exploring map and the shared map

I know the Bounty Hunter is not a favorite of some pirates, but at the time, it was the only way for smaller pirates to prevent the constant "short offline" hits by the bigger pirates. For example, I am off line a lot, especially during the workday. So, my progress is not impeded if I am continually hit by pirates wishing to level up. But when I get home from work, I am off and on a lot throughout the evening. It's frustrating and consumes a lot of repair kits to return hull back to 100% so I can move 60 squares and have to wait for my nav to replenish. I come back on line to find that I am in repairs again and have to use more kits to play. It can be frustrating to have to do this over and over. I want my co-pirates to be able to advance but, I would also like to play unimpeded for a few hours a day as well.

Perhaps there could be an option to place a barrier (for example: a fog back or something similar) to conceal our ship from attack for an hour at the expense of 100% Vitality. Or change how long the online status shows to 30 minutes instead of 10. Or maybe someone has another way to help smaller pirates play without quite so much interruption.

Let's see some implementations of what we talked about Hagar! Would love some nice big changes/implementations for this new round!

I think it would be great to get daily quests for gold implemented since voting for gold doesn't work
