Crystal ball for spectating on Ship of the Damned

Good stuff. What would the camera angle be ?

maybe the game would choose a random crewmate you can view from.

@madtba999enz
If the devs would add the amazingly awesome crystal ball on the ship of the damned for spectating it should be a very limited and somewhat hazy view; you should still see the crystal ball while spectating through it ...with a similar effect that we see on the villainous skulls...

@xgodkevin
yes you should be able to scroll through the different players on your ship

@ironuzuka
Sorry what do you mean by 'update your OP'? Origional post? if so how exactly?

Yep
How many times have you been on the ship of the damned biting your fingernails desperately asking the guys in your party: 'what is happening?!', 'Did you kill them?!', 'Is our ship sinking?!', 'Where are they?', 'Did they steal anything?!'
Well the ship of the damned is way too cool not to have... But imagine fellow pirates, if you could walk up to a crystal ball on the ship of the damned and have a peek at whats goin down... your ship or theirs...

Im still waiting for private crews...

:(

@t377y
Yeah no doubt l**o
Im just tired of biting my fingernails (lol) wondering w*f is happening while Im gone

Its not so much to be useful
It would be insanely cool
and entertaining - whats is all about - being entertained
If it was so cool that you wanted to spectate so much that you forget to spawn back in then it would be a great addition
besides - the idea that a vast number of players are on the edge of their seats asking their party members whats happening while they are in the sip of the damned.... isnt an idea its a fact
theres a reason a spectating mode is available to just about every game on Earth these days and is prob for similar reasons
The devs prob just didnt want to add spectating so that you would go through the afterlife on the ship of the damned but having the crystal ball would give them the best of both worlds
just in spectating they would need to make it so that you see the crystal ball in the persective so that it would feel like you were still on the ship of the damned

@ironuzuka
On top of being able to scroll through the various players in 3rd person you should be able to choose a ship to spectate...
the camera angle would be just above the ship and you should be able to circle the ship with the camera, all while its pointing to the center of the ship
if you were to imagine a cone with the point facing down, the camera would be attached to the top circle. and the ship would be at the point

Not a great idea. If you're dead, you don't deserve to see what's going on.
Also, I'm sure the added load that spectators would add would surely cripple our poor, fragile servers.

@arcticharmony70
Hey thanks for replying
You can spectate in most games and most gamers like the ability
I get that youre dead and dont deserve the ability and all - but its entertaining and most gamers prefer it....
hopefully if the devs can take the game further and it gains popularity enough the server issues will go away
And sorry but again I would have to say that I think a crystal ball on the ship of the damned for spectating would be just too cool and I cant imagine that the community wouldnt LOVE IT

id want a birds eye view of your own ship, something just above crows nest height to the side so masts arent that much in the way

This! For solo players this would be a huge help to know what they are coming back to.

I am sure that some sort of spectator mode can be introduced. Don't know exactly what field it fits in, well enough, when tactics are involved though.
