Green flash on the horizon.

  • It's an iconic image for me that I have in my head, of the green flash on the horizon at sunset. It's an actual phenomenon, rooted in old legends, and was used in POTC to great effect.

    Was I the only one who all throughout playing the game would stare at the sunset hoping for a green flash?

  • @vampytripod9759 Is your name by chance James Gatz? aha jk but huh never heard of this, guess I'll have to go watch potc tomorrow.

  • @sour-patch-mcoy It was used in At Worlds End as the signal of someone coming back from the "other side", and was shown as a brilliant green flash on the horizon (compared to the more realistic and feeble real life example of the sunset being accentuated by green light and the green light lasting slightly longer as the sun fully dips below the horizon).

    Needless to say I think that'd be an amazing easter egg if very very rarely, the sunset in the game had the flash.

  • @vampytripod9759 ah ok cool thanks for the info, definitely sounds like it'd be right at home in SoT!

  • not my gif but another player spotted one in the game:

  • It's the little details that make this game so wonderful.

  • @r0guesquirrel Oh my god that's amazing it's actually there. That's how it looks in the real world.

  • tis' true, The Flash of Green is a real thing not just utilized in PoTc, I'm currently living down in Anna Maria Florida, it's an amazing site.

  • Great idea man!! I’m surprised that it hasn’t gotten more popularity. SoT is so much about memorable moments. Just imagine you and your crew spotting a “Rare” green flash at sunset. Or a shooting star!

  • @vampytripod9759 There actually is a green flash and I saw a streamer who suggested that maybe it may be a signal to how near the Kraken is to you. I think it is speculation, but it may be very interesting if that is the case.

  • Yes, I actually have seen the green flas in game, as well!
    I love this damn game! :D
    The first in-game sunset that I ever sat and watched, intently, had the green flash. I honestly didn't know it was rare... err, but I did know it was Rare... lol (sorry).

  • @nightmare247365 the green flash isn't to signal the Kraken being near you. There will be ink in the water when the Kraken is about to attack and it can attack multiple ships at once

  • @spidermonkey484 I am quite aware. I just said that was what one streamer thought.

  • @vampytripod9759
    You know that I noticed this on my last session..
    I was sailing on the direction of the sunset and had a visual sensation of something green at the last moment of the sun.
    That bugged me... because that detail really got in my head..

    Then the next sunset I confirmed.. yep, there's a green flash at the last moment of the sunset.. it's amazing!
