'Every time someone asks for fishing, Rare push it back another month.... ' official ;)
Dev update due 7th November
Shrouded spoiler
'Explosive' new feature,
Fog is incredible, very photogenic - when the fog rolled in while anchored near a skelly fort it's so dense you couldn't see the ship - audio is also amazing.
More skull forts - fascinating idea, winks
Pets are still included in plans, in discussions and work ongoing around this.
Being able to cutlass other pirates through floorboards/walls isn't intentional.
Owning skull forts - never been an idea or plan.
Man of war - not in immediate plans, but there are designs and ideas around it, not if but when is more the question.
Changing ships in game - a huge amount of work to enable this with the way existing matchmaking works. It's not something Rare are against but there is currently more value bringing content at the moment rather than something like this which is complex.
Sensitivity slider for spyglass - interesting idea, note taken
9pm GMT Sat 10th November for Xbox stream from Mexico
New shanties - not right now but there are plans and memory work needs to be done to enable these.
As other content is added, each feature so far, there has to be work done to tweak the memory the game uses to ensure there is sufficient capacity.
Capt Ronald McDonald boards the ship and proceeds to wipe out the entire crew..... Hamburglered... several times... :D @wejoww
Stream sniping - at the moment have been talking to streamers at Twitchcon and there is likely some things which can be done to discourage it. Particularly where players are entering streams deliberately to ruin them. Feedback has been heard, and it will be worked on.
Kicking afk players - nothing coming just yet, not reached top of feedback list
More ships per server - might be something coming which increases the density of interesting encounters per server. wink
Ever thought about adding skeleton sloops? hmmmm
