Improvement on Storms

  • Storms have a few affects on the player and in sea of thieves, this includes:
    ●Rain
    ●Random holes
    ●Turning wheel without player interaction
    ●Lighhtning strikes
    ●Massive waves
    ●Visibility
    However, a couple of these features I believe are unecessary and annoying.

    1. Wheel turning without player interaction
      The storm turning the wheel may add some fear to being in a storm, but is it worth your sanity of being solo and getting a hole from the storm, then when you go to patch it your boat has suddenly done a 180° turn? My sanity has not been preserved from this feature, which is why I want to improve storms.
      Another thing aggravating about this feature is during pvp. Not only the affect of the storm turning the wheel, but also it making holes in your boat, can add a certain factor of luck to battling other ships. Either the boat turns your ship in angle of them, or it doesnt. This feature is especially hard for solo players, but also as a team.
      I believe storms should be looked into, hopefully this gets some consideration!

    Well, its a Storm...it suppose to be annoying. But they are also Easy to avoid.

    Head toward an island...no more turning. Drop anchor and wait. (Or fish?) for those special fishy.

    I find storms to bring out the better in players. No more boarding or trying to do silly things, you must adapt too or use what is happening to you is also happening to everyone else. Its...as the kids say "Skill issue" if storms are such a problem. I find them much better to be in while in pvp, changes up the meta. Even as a Solo I gladly sail into a storm.

    I believe storms should be looked into

    Maybe but the issues above dont really add up to "need fixing"
    They already tone down the wheel spinning, rocking of ships, hole damage, made islands safe zones, and rain doesnt fill ships up as fast anymore. Any more changes make Storm just the Fog...

  • @gof-girl combine the wheel turning issue with the compass going crazy while solo and there's a navigational crisis. I like the idea of the storm being an obstacle, but I think it's more annoying than it is *uneasy" for a lack of a better word
