Ideas
I have some suggestions for the game. Oh and my character in the game is Tara Roth. These suggestions broken down are: Chat System/Whispers, "Go To" Command, Crew System, Guild System, and Player to Player (Pirate to Pirate) Interaction. These are all serious things that need to be fixed if the game is to be successful. Priates of the Caribbean Online is a pretty good game and it has the potential to become a great game.
Chat System/Whispers:
One thing that is a must is a better chat system. The current system is sub-par to say the least. Local chat is fine and dandy, but the whisper system is horrible to say the least. If someone is not on your friends list you can't send a whisper to them it shows up as going to "none" even if they are in your guild. I don't think that problem is present for crewmates, but I could be wrong.
"Go To" Command:
The "Go To" Command doesn't work like it probably should work. You can use it on your crew and friends even across servers, but a guildmate can't use it to come to someone not on their friends list or outside of their crew. I hope this can be fixed.
Crew System:
The whole working of the crew system is also pretty bad. I would like to see a system where the leader (Captain) could picked from the crew and the 1st person to invite would be the default captain of course and who would be the 1st mate (if that would matter or anything). The crew chat system is okay I guess, but it could use a few improvements, but overall it is okay. Another thing is recruiting crew is hard. I understand why you can't send a crew invite to someone on another server, but why can't you send an invite to a guildmate on the same server, but not on your friends list without having them standing next to you? For that matter, why can't I send a crew invite to someone in Port Royal when I am on Tortuga or out at sea? A better idea would be to address the problems listed above about the crew system and make a quene (list or whatever you want to call it) in the server for people looking to join a crew or something like that. And one bug I've seen is that people coming to you from another server sometimes can't join a crew even if they are not in a crew currently.
Guild System:
Right now the Guild System is weak. Guilds need to have some kind of ranking system not just member or officer. The interface could use a fixing up too. It's way to bland right now and to constricted. Some more activities for guilds to do together would be nice too.
Player to Player (Pirate to Pirate) Interaction:
There needs to be more free will in interacting with other players. If there is a way to trade with other players I have been unable to find it as have the other people I've talked with about it. I would like to be able to give my old Light Frigate or Galleon to some guildmates that need a better ship than they currently have and right now I can't do that. I would also like to be able to give my friends gold to help them out.
That's all I'll put into this message even though I have many more ideas these are the most critical to game play.
