ADD NEW ELEMENTS IN SOT

    Hi the game is improving in mecanic and its great what next ? here few of my idees…

    -A strong Wind : a strong Wind you can notice arriving by observing the sea. if it hit you boat when your sails are down you need to raise the sails before fast before the boat capsize… or break the mast. could be good to had "capsizing" mecanic for the ship so "sinking from holes" would not be the only way to have a ship destroy.
    -a tornado : take out the ship of the water and fell somewhere else. with break mats and holes in the hull.
    -a Whirlpool : have battle like in pirate of caribbean.
    -fire : we can use bucket for turn it off, it can start from lighting … and slowly get bigger and bigger if nobody take care of it. a pirate can put fire on an enemi ship too. it would take a 10 sec for the fire to take where he want to put it. ps a fire can make hole on wood if water down. so a fire in the below deck of the galion make no holes. (normaly)

    • A Rogue wave : this wave take place only in storm and fill the ship with a lot of water and push pirate out of the ship if they are in the outside deck. (can make some damage)
    • a tsunami (of course) would be a rare moment when a huge wave would cross the entire map. only way to survive would be to face it or the ship will capsize. (could be cool to surf on it too hahaha)

    other idees??? :D

    I think it's safe to say that tsunamis and tornados wouldnt work. tsunamis would halt anyone doing any mission with no way to avoid it other than having a ship destroyed or "surf it" which is always the pirate way of doing things, not to mention would destroy everything on any island. tornados would break physics for ships, players and ultimately anything. giant whirlpools that can move ships dont really exist, and again would break physics pretty bad, not to mention they are hardly noticeable. fire could get out of control too quickly and would just add another element of annoying especially to people soloing as they already have to worry about keeping a ship strait, repairing from new holes from lightning, bucketing water etc.

    @taaaamas wow... u seriouly dont want any of this coming to sea of thieves.... you must have been hating the game when volcano came up.

    I know how sea of thieves will be safer for you.
    How about u dont play so you will not sink.

    Ps: are u a rare developper for confirm any things new of these will break the phisics??? And are u a rare developper who knows its impossible to modificate the phisics ?
    Ps I actualy thinks most of the phisics needed is here already. I cant confirm it but I seen ship flying... was bugs but still they did. I seen ships out of water because of the harpoon, so why tornado will not be possible?. A tsunami could be conter if u face it. What the problem with that? A tsunamy would destroy anything in the island. (U sure????) I can shoot a tree with canon 100 time and the tree still remain. That normal in video games. So a tsunamy could cross the map without damaging the island As volcano doesnt distroy the tavern . I prefer if there is damage of course but instead of nothing I prefer to have the tsunamy, volcano, etc than nothing for the sake of phisicly impossible. (What u actualy assume but u dont know as rare have already breaks many game mecanics for sea of thieves and done what other would have said :"impossible")
    The fire... sorry? Because It would anoying u u dont want it??? U serious right now? U must hate every kraken , megalodon, skelyship u cross pirate!!!!. Be more gameplay focus.
    A wirlpool is hard to had in mecanics. Finaly im kind agree with u with that it might be harder than the rest but still. I believe rare dev could do. Even if it take few years too. And seriously player cant see wirlpool as its flat in the water, that why u think its a bad idee? U never though some hints could be had? Some sound... the sea reacting weard around... the wheel starting to turn by it self?... use ur imagination pirate . Sot need to be deam of . Let not be narowminded here ok?
    Also u said no wirlpool big enough for a ship to take in real life... u must hate skeleton. Megalodon, kraken, be able to shoot yourslf with canons. ... u have to know rare doing a kind of monkey island pirate theme like. So a fantasy pirate world with some realistic good mecanics, and some magical mecanic, cartoon like.
    Seriously. U must be desagree with all the idee post on this forum no? 0o!

    Well, some things are good ideas, but I only like the whirlpool thing (as in Pirates of The Caribean). But, it would be very hard to manage physics and that. The tsunami I don't think it would work.

    Also, I can pretty much speculate that ship fire is going to come to the game soon.

    I would tend to agree with the sentiments regarding Tsunamis and Tornados strong enough to lift a ship. Those disasters are far too destructive for the purposes of the game, and would cause far too much frustration for players.

    Now, @Taaaamas a massive whirlpool fits the pirate fantasy aspects much better; we've seen something like that in Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

    Wind of varying strength was something in the concept builds of Sea of Thieves shown through developer videos and streams; blink and you'll miss a tool tip by a wind speed indicator. But wind strong enough to break your masts would only occur in storms.

    One last thing, @kermar-tutu your posts are hard to work around; bad spelling and grammar makes it very painful to read.
