I think it would be novel to shoot bannanas and pomegranates out of the cannons and have it splatter on enemy/ alied ships without taking any damage, this could give innocently and fun target practice between friendly ships and i think it would also be fun and funny to be able to use coconuts as emergency cannonballs as well that act like a less powerful cannonballs during crunch time, allowing teams/ individual players at least one type of health item to also be an offensive item.
I fancy the idea of seeing a size diversity of gunpowder barrels, namely a smaller size to be able to smuggle onto adversaries ships. A sneaky plot involving some overcooked bannanas and an emptied water- barrel... say for instance while a crew is on an island you board with a chest full of goodies to deliver...
Id like an edition of gunpowder barrels small enough barrel that could fit 3 into an ol' scull or gem treasure chests for those potentially more desrete endeavors between warring crews. The big keg is for the ships following in my wake, not for the secret menuvers against rival pirates when i go below deck and set one on the hotplate and leave the other two next to it. (Ideally each would be a third of the orginal/ large barrels damage but much less notoriety.
I also envision a special throwable coconut grenade with a fuse/ wick in the top that doesnt cause any damage, but gives an kinetic knockback/ stagger after a playable fuse delay. Something that could be maybe picked up and thrown off deck like a high stakes game of hot potato between ships.
I imagine the idea of players having a personal grapling hook something to throw up and over the masts so you can swing onto the other ship or maybe climb up a rock face by hooking a palm tree up above as oppose to proceeding up a metal skeleton speckeled beach. Has to have a twirl and spin animation, not a spring loaded one like how the harpoon is currently i suggest this throw delay because the pvp scene would quickly turn into nothing but batman style grapling hooks. Oh and only climbing/ swinging. No grab looting and no pulling other players along with, that could be abused too heavily.
Ive been playing since beta as part of the insiders program, i was excited but got drawn away to other titles but now that this games gaining steam again im super infatuated with it. Im not a great conversionsationalist nor am I organized so if you reply to this thread, dont expect a response, i do however like to see others talk about ideas so i can better understand them. Feel free to make this string as long as you want with your responses.
