/agree

Also, a group finding system, like most MMO's. Or at least /lfg!

For that matter, emotes!
And also, a couple different weapons from the beginning. I don't want all to be forced to just use the sword all the time.

Also, Cuba is too far away!

IMO, so far most of this game is just ok. The only thing that really makes it stand out and be awesome is the ship combat with crews. (now imagine a Star Wars MMO with Starship fighting like that...drool)

Funny you should mention that....I was thinking the same thing the other night. Space was one of my favorite parts of SWG, but really, you were better off in most cases flying a ship by yourself. I wish they would have found a way to make a ship that had a crew worth it.

My suggestions for POTC are:
1) continue to add content that crosses the barriers between land and sea;
2) add other items to loot;
3) add variety to the types of cutlasses, guns, daggers, etc.;
4) give players the opportunity to change their appearance in game;
5) allow customization for ships; and
6) add additional names for ships plus possessive forms for the first part of the ship name.

I am going to post your suggestions on thier website k.

[EERaider]

I can guarantee more enemies. I'm a decent sailor, and a few shots and such, say they can be used agains: blah, blah, blah, and monsters. I bet ther'll be sea monsters that will be cool. Like seeing the kraken, that would put this game over the top. Off the charts. Amazing!!!!! Can't wait. I'll be waiting, after i finish the Black Pearl Quest this weekend about 70 percent done.
SO i'd say im close.

I would like the doors to open when I walk up to them. I'm really tired of pressing the shift key.

[Vangelis]

Agreed about the doors, especially the one where you are in jail and try to kick the door open, but it stops after one kick so you're stuck.... lolz

A way to change your base clothing a look, when I made my guy, I did some things wrong that I want to change. Like the to change your skin and body you can go to the tatoo parlor and maybe add tatoos, and that tailor is how you get new clothes. (Why is the tailor in tortuga EVEN there? It doesn't do anything.)

Those are one of the best features dude. I get so annoyed in Toontown because it has that. You walk into a wall by accident, then you're in a building. Annoying.


I wish they would add more weapons. A actual rifle would be nice instead of a little flintock.

[Sir Upticious]

One thing I have noticeed is the dead silence of the game. Every message just appears on a small area. As annoying as the constant animal noises gets on Toontown, at least you know when someone is talking.

Perhaps a series of Yarr, Yo Ho Ho's when characters spoke would add to the atmosphere.

Yeah right! Maybe I will turn the music back on!

[Trevinator]

I am just going to give it some time, if they have not added any new features in the next month of this month It will not please me, ill probly just quit if that happens. Hopefully htey add the Sea monsters, new enemies, weapons and the ship custamization in the next two months or else that means that it will be a boring six month then update game and that would just suck! Also the walking into a door thing I hate that 2 it would make it to much like toontown!

[Lindyshutterbug]

Wow, where do I start? There are a lot of improvements to the game I'd like to suggest. Some perhaps might be doable, others . . . well this is Disney afterall . . . I'd like to see , but may not go with the theme of keeping this game accesable to the casual gamers and families.

The best feature so far for POTC is the ability to crew ships. In addition to helmsman/ship's pilot and gunners I'd like to suggest a few more things for the crew to do:

Lookout - Situated in the crow's nest, this person has the ability to determine with increasing accuracy the possibility of ships carrying high value or special cargo. Targeting assistance - Focusing in on a target (via levels of spyglasses) this person is able to assist the gunners with a targeting reticule that shrinks with experience and with every shot from the gunners. Ship-to-ship signaling. Ability to raise guild colors (flags).

Engineer - Person has the ability to do minor repairs (up to perhaps 75%, the rest would have to be done at the shipyard). Also has the ability to put out fires before they spread, assist in tacking manoevers, and assist in increasing sailing speed.

I'd also like to see the following elements introduced (most likely best done in an entirely new area(s)):

Shipbuilding, player driven economy, ability of guilds to establish pirate ports/bases . . . .

[Talion]

I would like to see many changes from profesions being added, classes, weapons, more/better chat options more content. a better map, cords? customisable keys. an echomony/trade.

some profesons could be, sword smith, gunsmith, ship builder, talior,

some classes could be, medic, witchdoctor, captin/deckhand/sailor, swords men, riflemen

some sort of ingame mail or bulltin bord, at least for guilds

some chat comands like /wisper - /w /reply -/r /guild - /g /crew - /c

the ablity to see who in your guild is online, where they are, what level they are, and even put this on the friends list

the ability to make a small note by the people on your friends list and or guild list

customisable ships

chang clothing, get tatoos, get earings/ percings / change hair style/ shave, grow beard

a guild house, base or ship would be awsome, with things like a guild bank/ profesions area/ships ext.

a guild sash or patch or tatoo or something

a way to remove your or other names from your screan

minor loot in the lootable things, like diging a hole,creats, barrles. not just noting found, maybe have money or something else in them once in a while

customisable hot keys

ablity to respeck your talents

show what the next level of a talent dose for you

more quests

a better map, show the layout of the island, be able to make notes on it, have cordnents on it

ablity to be navy or pirate? might be cool, but i also understand that this is PIRATES online

over all this is a fun game, but a small game, i dont see it keep my intrest or the intrest of manyothers if some improvments aren't made and made fast.

this is a very limited game, everyone is basicly the same, aka no classes, no diffrent weapons, no realy diffrent ships, no proffesions

I lookforward to this being a very cool game, but it will take a lot of changes to get there, it was awsome when i first started but is allready starting to lose its appeal. the only realy cool thing is the sea warfare . I would love for this game to be as versatile as other games such as wow, eve, guild wars, ever quest

[BadgerDog]

I want to be able to gain something from PvP matches. Right now, they're pretty pointless other than 60 seconds of bragging rights.

I also want to be able to fight the Kraken or some other sea monster that takes an entire crew to take down.

And I want to be able to decide whether or not to sink a flagship, like keep it as your own ship.

[Davy]

There should be a server where we have our houses, or at least a Pirate Island where Pirate's houses are. A house should cost about 20K and should be able to hold 200 Cannon Ammo, 100 Dagger Ammo, 200 Grenade Ammo, 5 Furniture Pieces, and 10 pirates. We should also be able to pay about 5K to get another ship bottle.

Clicking on a Guild Member should bring up the same menu as when you click on a friend, except for guildmasters there should be a button 'Member Options'

We should be able to have our own shops (again, house island or server). We sell our stuff, say our ships, houses, furniture, clothing at cheaper prices.

We should be able to have parrots, dogs, etc.

Crew needs to be able to repair the ship (15 gold for every 1000 health points)

We need to be able to see what is in the cargo (Spices, Rubies, Silver Bars, etc.) that we get and regulate what we keep and dump. Cargo holds need to be bigger, and crew should be able to go down into the bilge.

The biggest (PotCO did say it's coming out soon): Customizable Ships!

[DrStinglock]

Whoa, you guys want to pretty much re-write the game then?

Repairing ships while in the ocean? Thats laughable, maybe a 10% fix up could be done, anymore than that and I'd like to know how it would be possible. Like, your ship floats out of the water, you start hovering around it and patch it up with your magical wood and nails that floated past.


Shops, Economy? This game doesn't need it, and it's better off without it, I'd rather focus on fighting/ sailing / looting and doing quests than looking for somewhere to unload my cargo when I get on shore. Or spending time trying to find people to trade with or re-stock with.

Cargo? Bigger Cargo? See what's in the cargo? Nah, ill pass on both of these, More cargo is not needed, and to see whats in it?

I'd be happy with a simple 'drop cargo' button, none of this sorting and hmm, what do I keep, what do I get rid of. You either empty it all, or you keep it all, none of this going below down deck and sorting through it all.

Keeping Flagships? Like how many ships do you want?

Most of the cosmetic changes, well, they will and probably can get left for a more detailed game, the focus for this game seems to be as player friendly as possible.

That could be very much improved with some enhancements to the guild feature.
Everything listed about guilds would be much needed and used to enhance their use.

Primarily,

1. Some kind of MOTD for crew members to read when logging on.
   
2. An ability to either Friend, Goto, Whisper or Crew Guild Members
   
3. When hovering a Character a 'Last Online Time' field would be good for removing inactive players.

Crewing Positions would be quite good also.
