Display a Compass with Wind Direction while in ports and in the battle result screen please

[Kanay]

Hello,

 

One thing that bugs me out and for what i would like to see a change in the new UI is the possibility to know the wind direction when i am inside a port or after a battle ended, without either having to get out of the port with a ship to see by myself or ask in chat few times after a battle and sometimes getting an inaccurate answer.

 

 

Captains should know the wind direction while in port, and be able to decide for the best moment to leave it without having to get the ship out now and then and wee if the wind turned enough to be favorable.

 

Captains after a battle, either pve or pvp should see in the end result screen the wind direction and could wait 10 minutes for the best wind to leave, all this without having to ask anyone.

 

I hope the Dev's will add this essential information element to be available all the time in the new UI that is probably already worked on.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

 

 

PS: 

I am a quite a noob at coding such stuff, beside some basic php and batch i can't really do something but this thing is so important to me and missing so much in game that i may start to spend time to learn c,c+,c++ or else and just try to make a small .exe where i can set the wind blowing direction at the start of a gaming session with a small compass having the wind rotating like in game, just to be able to see where the wind is pushing any time i need it.

 

Maybe there is talented people around that could code a small .exe doing this in a blink and it will be nice for now but i would really like to see this implemented in the new UI, this critical information for Captains should be available every time and part of the game.

Will be a cute addition to ports  (though I would prefer the old claiming of a "who is connected and in the harbor" , as wind can be safely known by getiing out in a moment).

 

 would really hate seeing it on battle end screen, that screen is unavoidable to allow for different timescope OW/battle , and waiting over there to attend real life is unavoidable.....   but providing tools to make more easy waiting in a limbo to a wind of your liking? No please.

I should not have to get out of a port with a ship to know the wind, especially not doing it repetitively while waiting for the best wind to do a trip, I should have this info while in port.

 

And i need to know the wind direction for when i get out of a battle and plan my travel back or escape routes, it's really not to camp 30mn or hours in it, it's to have the info available and plan my things,  and if wind is really too bad and i need to wait 10-15mn for a better wind i will, not to avoid the fight but to have better chances, without having to bother Nation chat asking for this info, same when exiting a pve fight,  if wind is total crap i rather wait 10mn and do something else than loose my time against the wind being a sitting duck.

 

I advocated many times for the end result screen allowed wait time to be limited, players allowed to logout only once each 6 hours with a cooldown or auto pushed to OW after 15mn , but this isn't the problem here for what i ask, front my point of view it isn't at least.

 

For result screen most ask them clan mates for this info already, others ask in chat too, it won't change the physiognomy of the end battles game at all, just get correct info without bothering others.

Absolutely +1 about Kanay proposal!

I completely agree that we should be able to see the wind direction while in port.

 

I totally disagree with the idea of having it in the end battle screen.

I'll add my support for having it in ports - it made sense and was common practice at the time.  Doing it in the battle screen though, no thank you.  When the battle is over, the wind is the wind.
