More Natural “Disasters”

  • While the title does say disasters, I’m talking about natural occurances in general. So, here’s my list of great additions to the natural disasters the game already offers, like the storm, earthquakes, geysers, and eruptions.
    Meteor Showers
    The night sky in this game can be gorgeous, especially with the appearance of northern lights. But what about meteor showers? This would look beautiful, but it could also even be a chance for treasure! If the player is lucky enough, they could find a meteorite on an island to sell.
    Tidal Waves/Tsunamis
    With all the earthquakes and eruptions, there’s bound to be some response to that in the ocean itself. Although I’m not quite sure what exactly these waves would do in terms of affecting your ship, it would certainly be a nice addition. However, this of course should not occur too often as that would make sailing unbearable
    Waterspouts
    How awesome would it be if a tornado on water occurred, picked up your ship, and tossed it off course? While this should obviously not occur too often nor be a continuous occurance for a long period of time, I think the added danger would bring new life to sailing near storms.

    Sure, my list wasn’t too long, but I think these would be nice additions to the game to give it a more realistic lively feel. Consider it, Rare!

  • @mr-dragon-raaar Ah I hadn’t even thought of whirlpools

  • Theirs Whirlpools or a huge Maelstrom something you get in world of warcraft would be absolutely epic while fighting in one would just be amazing

    Meteor showers would probably carry some form of material interesting all of the companies, and therefore functioning almost like a mermaid statue gem.

    Tidal waves would probably damage and push your ship, but not be full on tsunamis. They would be larger waves which would either occur from an eruption/earthquake, or even something like a large gunpowder keg explosion.

    Waterspouts could pull and push the ship around, but picking it up would suggest it is powerful enough to pull the ship apart or capsize it, instantly sinking it. Not going to be received well if it is that powerful.

    I like this idea mostly because it reminds me of stardew valley.lol

  • On the aspect of meteor showers if one hit a ship it would be like a small volcano rock dealing damage to the ship and setting it ablaze meaning that it would be a natural disaster

  • I think these ideas would be neat if they were a 'Shrouded Ghost' level of rare. Just so you get excited when you see them not disgruntled.

  • This is a very interesting topic to discuss. Game needs more immersion in weather, however this thread is a year old. @Quartermasters
