Helm quality-life change

  • Hello everyone,

    Welcome to this quality-life change suggestion.

    When we are at the helm, we do not have the opportunity to see in front because of the mast.

    I thought that we can improve the control of the rudder by giving the possibility of shifting the view to the right or to the left with the keys "A" and "E" during its use.

    What do you think fellow pirates ?

  • @hizziplay have you come across something that, when in front of you is completely blocked by the mast? I haven’t had an issue with this. Also, the ability to to tilt the head to the left or right isn’t going to be enough to fix your perceived issue. Nor will they move the camera away from a first person perspective.

    The one thing I wish they would add is the ability for the head to turn side to side. Currently, you can tilt your head up and down, but can’t rotate it. And, when at the helm, it’s fixed in place. Would love to see that change. Shifting the camera to the side far enough to see around the mast, probably isn’t going to happen.

  • I think it would be a small, non-intrusive change that makes it easier to better avoid small rocks and reefs. You would just shift your head a little to the side and see just a little more.

  • Your view is blocked purposefully by design to enhance cooperation among crew ("Rock! Look out!") and to dissuade lazybeards from falling asleep at the wheel. As such, you will not be getting any such changes.

  • @galactic-geek You're absolutely right... When I'm at the helm my friends usually just screw around, so I have to do all by myself, but I forget that not all crews are made up of prancing baboons

    Shouts through the Megalodophon:
    "Ye lazy landlubbers, one to the stern, two on the sails, ye'r the worst crew i had my entire sealife, Arrr!!!!
    By Ramsey's Beard follow my instructions and do yer tasks or ye will wish for another Capt'n, because if i rage Flameheart is covering in the corner of his lair and the Kraken tries to calm me down with all his 8 arms."

  • I've been playing the game for so long I forgot the middle mast blocks the view...

  • @hizziplay What is this helm thing? Oh how I would love to be allowed near it but my Cap is a harsh one. Stabbing the decks and emptying the bulge for me.

  • I perfectly fine with the masts and sails in my view

  • Never had a problem since release..

  • I may not explain myself well,

    I don't pay attention to it since i have a to deal with it but as a human being it's frustating for me to not be able to do this this when i am at the helm :
