Lighthouse

    I was wondering what people thought about adding a lighthouse to the game?

    I was thinking about it. Main navigating object in sea for sailors is missing in game...

    Seeing as how all the ports have visable lights already I think adding a lighthouse would be redundant, but perhaps they could be worked in in some fashion

    @joethesho I was thinking an actual rotating lighthouse on the side of the islands that actually have the traders. It just seems like the lights only purpose is "well that's an outpost" (which is nice). Just wished they served a more nautical purpose.

    Take out all the outpost light and put a lighthouse instead.

    Make the nights a little bit darker for a enhanced experience.

    I like the idea of an lighthouse on only a few islands, it fits the theme and provides lighting - however with how hard the servers seem to be working now I am not sure it's the best idea. People are shooting other players and their bullets are going right through them. It's really broken still :)

    Lighthouses, bonfires, signal flares, hanging brasiers... anything adding to our choices makes the game deeper in experience. ^^

    Imagine a lighthouse with a lantern that could be manipulated by players and directed at nearby ships. Great idea!

    @fett199 why will we need a lighthouse for? What would be it's functionality?

  • Fett199

    @nunoazuldimeter I think that it could add to the ambience of the game. I find myself really enjoying the lighting they have done with the sun and the water. Now throw in a lighthouse on a port and its twilight, you have potential for some major feels. But a big part for me wanting it in the game is to have them used the way they were designed for, hazards and harbors. I would like to know what side of the island to go to using a landmark and not the map.

    Oh yeah, that would be nice.
    Letting us know what side the port is.

    Even if I already know them all, would help new players. Yeah I agree with that
