Suggestions for Potco?

[Goldfish]

I think fighting the Cadet and getting..whatever is in the box or crate, shouldn't be so broken. I fought like, 5 cadets, opened the desk, got nothing, searched the entire room, got nothing, and then got pwned by the cadet..

I also hope that they transition to a turn-based battle system, because the current one is a bit odd, as you may be too tall, too short, too hefty, the enemy may be too low, the enemy may be moving too much, somebody else might pwn the enemy as you're trying to get a good shot, and so on..

Added to that, I wish the chat system actually worked. I just kept silent when I played because of how bad the chat works.

A lot of things.

There should be a Davy Jones locker in the game instead of going to jail so friends can save ya and would make the game more fun for everyone. As well as the locker there should also be a kraken and a flying dutchman in the game too.

I know this kind of goes against the social aspect of the game, but a little more self sufficiency.

I think crewing the ship with friends is awesome and all, but I feel there should be a way to use different cannon ammo types when uncrewed as well. Or even just to hire a crew when sailing solo. Something to kind of level the fact that a lot of the npc enemies can shoot off different shot types while I am stuck with roundshot.

Also on the ship system, definately a custom flag option. To keep it kid friendly just have a stock of different "parts" of the flag (similar to how the naming system is done) and voila... individuality on the high seas... who knew!

More weapons. I feel the game is pretty balanced as it is now but for example, it would be cool if you could purchase a cutlass that did poison damage... or fire damage 10% of the time. Nothing too drastic but some variability would keep the game flow interesting.

I think it would also be cool if you could fire cannons from the forts in say kingshead at boats in the harbor. Along with this, I'd like to see ships on the horizon, or in the harbor when on looking out on the sea. I know this probably will create crazy lag but it'd be cool ;P But definately with the forts, I think it would be fun to attack from the sea (as you do in Sid M Pirates)

To the previous post, you CAN see ships from the harbor, but you can't shoot at them. Also, I'd like to see a "Walk the Plank" option when you're on your ship, so you can make whoever you don't want on your ship to literally walk the plank and get off.

The ability to jettson some of your cargo.

I hate having to blast the pesky Ferrets when the get to close and have one of thier crates take up space in my hold while i'm trying to fill up on chests and royal chests.

Be nice to be able to make room like that.

Walk The Plank has got to be added. I have contacted POC and asked for the feature. How about the rest of you requesting it too?
Beta Test server now has emotes and appearance changing options. They're fun to play with, but they don't have the big list available, only some emotes.
The maxing out thing... well??? Why? What do we do after we have maxed out everything (not that I'm even close), but don't they want us to stay in the game?
Getting the Black Pearl Boss battle up and further quests would help too.

I still have not found frinds from Beta server on pay server. I wish there was a way to message people from the official site to set up potential in game meeting to get back on the lists. I lost a whole guild in the transition!

my ideas:

1. Davy Jones Locker - a new member only "secret" area where players can go

2. Singapore - A new island (as stated by POTCO in the summer expansion) where higher lvl enemies are (40 - 50)

3. Shipwreck Cove - another Member only island

4. Member only Servers - we pay for the game we should get our own servers (no basic accounts)

5. Go To Guild - plain and simple this must be added

6. PvP Sea - bring it back!

7. Guild Events/Competition - i think guild need more events to participate in hostedf by POTCO

8. Walk The Plank - a way to get unwanted pirates of ye ship

9. Custimizable Ships - Member only feature members can add cannons, cargo space, and crew space and expand their ship and place cannons where they want them.

10. Guild Houses - Guildmaster buys a room for guild members only the room can expand as long as the guildmaster pays for it, largest clubhouse is an island, all guild members can access the clubhouse whenever they want.

Kingshead was supposed to be "Members Only" look how well THAT turned out

Those are pretty Good Ideas but it doesn't have to be Members only though.

Heres my Ideas:

1. Davy Jones locker(of course. It OWNS!!!) I think you should get there the same
way you do in the Third Pirate Movie. The same for getting out. I think you should
travle to the edge of the world to get there because once you get there nothing happens.
Or once you die from now on by ship you go to davy jones locker instead
of jail and when you get killed on land you go to jail.

2. PVP ship battle. They need to bring it back. I think it should be like crew against
crew. And you have a ghost ship vs their ghost ship(along with the cool look). And you can board it and battle from there.

3. The Kraken(I mean... They Should have added this since Phase 1)

4. Underwater exlporation. I think you should use Voodoo magic to breathe under
water so you could explore whats under the sea. You could find treasure chest and other valuable Items.
And you could fight enemies like sharks and octopus's.

5. Ship customization(that pretty much describes itself)

6. More weapons

7. Hideouts. Make your own house or Hideout so to speak and buy furnitures to
make it look better.

8. Walk the plank(This has to be in I mean...Every pirate always wanted to do this)


9. New Islands.

10. The Most Awesomest Thing I have on my mind all day. I think there should be
a once in a lifetime event where an all out pirate war breaks out in the live game.
Us pirates vs the Navy soldiers, Black Guard, Jolly Roger Ghost, and Davy Jones's
Crew. The pirate war will be everywhere and also on sea. I want the war to look
like the Gameplay showed on the Commercial. And I think there should be a quest
where you can go against Jolly Roger, Lord Beckett, And Davy Jones themselves!!!
AND THATS NOT ALL!!! For a once in a lifetime offer.
All pirates Created on the Test server can go to the live game for that once in a lifetime event. It should last
for 1 and 1/2 months. I think that would be so awesome.

Well Thats What I think. Too bad #10 might not happen though.

I LOVE the hideout/guild house idea.

I also wish the healing system was different. This is really picky of me, but it doesn't make sense for you to go up to random NPCs and ask them to "heal" you when you've been hurt. What are they supposedly doing, waving their magic wand and making you all better? Instead, I would like it if you had to go to a tavern, and you could either buy something to eat, which would bring your health up quite a bit, or you could rent a room for the night and sleep, which would restore all your health. They might not get a ton of use because your health restores by itself anyway, but it would be good if you didn't want to wait. I guess I just want sleeping and eating somehow incorporated into the game.

I hate the chat system, as others have said. CURSE IT. I wish we had, at the bottom of the screen, a chat window that stayed up all the time so that I didn't have to keep clicking to open it and so that it would be easier to read. There also has to be some way to make it easier to multitask; I want to be able to call for help while battling an enemy without having to pause to type. I don't know how that would work, though, I just want them to make it happen.

I also want us to have to deal with sharks somehow. I don't know how, but sharks would be cool.

I would also like to see more smuggling incorporated into the game, such as more quests where you could take your ship from one island to the next and smuggle rum and illegal goods back and forth for gold.

Oh, and another thing I really want: the ability to go into the captain's quarters/below deck on ships. It just sounds like fun.

[DarthChaosSky]

Think about this: if all the guilds get guild houses, where would you put them? The PotCO staff probably don't want to make a server just for guild houses. It would also probably slow the game down. Also, the underwater idea, not so good. I don't think pirates ever went underwater; it wasn't their thing.

I love these ideas, the only thing i would add is different types of ships, get away from just sloops, galleons, and frigates. I wouldnt mind sailing a chinese junk, Schooner, or a brigantines. The only way a chinese junk would work is if they open up a way to get to Singapore. Can only hope and wait..

Yay, you messaged them for Walk the Plank yay! I get half the pay right? It was partly my idea.

Ok, so besides the birds chirping where are the other living things?

Living things that we can't shoot or stab, that is.

I mean, a random turtle as opposed to a huge evil scorpion once and a while would be cool once and awhile.

A pod of dolphins running along the ship maybe? Could we see a few birds in the sky?

Some monkeys in the tree or a dog or two.

I know we are pirates but we can still be friends of nature.

We already have chickens and pigs, doubt they add anything else..its not really anything important but then again neither are jewlery, coats, tattoos etc...
