Simple idea: Remove fog

I like it.

“No-one” = you.

Plenty of people like it.

It's really simple please remove fog no one even likes it.

“No one likes it”. Don’t confuse your own dislikes and make it everyone’s.

I like it because of I’m sure the reason is, you can’t see anything during pvp. XD

I like it more than storms, reapers and hourglass. Remove those instead.

If they remove fog, how are they going to add ghost ships INSIDE the fog?

We can't let go of that dream!

You are conflating "no one" with "i personally". I love the fog for ambience, as well it is a mechanic with a purpose, its a hazard that is supposed to force you to play differently much like the storm.

I like it, especially the new fog.

What happened, did you hit a rock? :)

My bets are on beached ship by going full speed in the fog.

Ok I guess saying "No one" was definitely a bad idea

Oh you bet.

Fog is annoying when you're goal-oriented, as it makes approaching scenarios much more dangerous and chaotic in decision making, but those that like the fog like the mysterious atmosphere, and... less hardy sailors will love the fog as a decent escaping strategy against enemy players in a chase.

Though, circumventing the fog is something that could be considered in the future. Lack of visibility makes traversal a serious test of your knowledge of the islands, but it does make some activities insanely more difficult to tackle at that moment, and you're either sitting still waiting for the fog to clear, or recklessly entering a scenario that will cut your session very short in mere moments.

"No one even likes it"
No one as in the players you've asked, yourself, or a majority of the playerbase?

"My source is that I made it up!"

I think you confused it with the storm.

nah the storm is awesome. it's created several top 10 memories for me

@gallerine5582 I know I didn't mean to put "No one"

I wish flares made a difference in fog.

My problem with the fog is how long it lasts.

It lasts a full in-game day. Cut that in half (maybe a quarter) and it'd be fine.

I would prefer that a setting be added where you don't join pvp in fog, but only fight where there is no fog. Because I don't want to race a new player for 2 hours who doesn't understand how to fight.

Honestly, there are plenty of things that I "don't like" about the game, that at the same time I don't want to see removed. These things, fog, storms, etc. can be very annoying and even frustrating to go through. However, they add spice to the game that would make it feel flat if it wasn't there. For example, many great stories happen because of, or are enhanced by their presence in the storm. A fight over a fort feels much more epic when a storm rolls over it, this makes the memories sweeter than just a generic fight.

Honestly, what I would love to see is emergent encounters that only happen in said weather events.

My daughter and I had an OoS ghost ship voyage that was storm central the other night. Rode out the whole encounter until the final ship sink through a raging tempest. It felt amazing. Difficult, but exciting!

Exactly! And while the storm can add some annoying elements, you will never forget that OoS fleet.

@captain-coel

Yeah. PLUS she had the equipment wheel bug on Xbox at the time. It was hectic and epic! And it was where she really learned to help steer the ship.
