Ferry of the Damned and Ghosts

  • Gents! I come before you and the Rare dev team that will listen for another proposal. Nothing major and nothing likely to get implemented but an idea I would like to float out there.

    When a pirate dies out in the world and his body evaporates in a plume of green spirit smoke, he travels to the Ferry of the Damned to become another member of its crew for a short while. Eventually as the Ferryman opens the doorway back to the living, you step through, and just reappear on your boat.

    I have heard of fellow pirates getting struck down immediately upon entering back into the living world. This is not only why I bring up the idea though, maybe also for more immersion. I suggest that upon entering back into the world we stay in ghostly form for up to 10 or 15 seconds...slowly transforming back into our living body from ghostly apparition. This can be a more immersive experience from coming back from the dead and give a pirate time enough to position his self, if need be, when in a scrap that sent him to the Ferryman in the first place.

    Edit: Indeed! No interaction with the world while in ghostly form. Not so much as droppin the anchor or grabbin a cannonball.

    What say you to that? Let me know! Down below!

  • @ximp0sterx Provided ye cannot interact wit' the real world during this period, I says aye. So ye can't raise sails or attack or pick up items till ye be corporeal again.

    More for the atmosphere than the prevention of griefing, but it be an added benefit.

    Howe'er I would also then say the duration on the ferry should be reduced 10 - 15 seconds so yer not being punished for extra time before ye can get back into the fray.

  • I like this Idea. I have one question though, would one be able to attack while a ghost?

  • Side tangent: Why is d a m n e d censored? It's a name of a place in the game!

    Agreed

  • I like this idea, but I think any enemy players on your ship need to be invisible to your eye and vis versa until you're fully corporeal. A guessing game of where someone will be on your ship, while giving you a chance to fight back.

  • I like this, and i would like to see ghostly servants of the FotD, maintaining the ship

  • No.

    For one simple reason. All the ghosts will be in the crows nest. And that's where all my gunpowder is.

  • @guybrushcrpwood then store it in the hold please, makes it easier for us.

  • @guybrushcrpwood

    I get what you are saying about storing gunpowder in the crows nest. But, they respawn on their ship as a ghost. They only stay as a ghost for maybe 10 seconds. Possibly enough time to get to your crows nest, depending on how close your ship is, but not likely.
