Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I've counted at least two. I found one on a long sail in the northwest, and then encountered another in the southern part of the map. There may be a third lurking as well.
Blackjack Symons Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) New goal: sail into a storm for giggles. People have said it slows you right down. How badly was your speed affected? Edited September 22, 2015 by Blackjack Symons
Spacks Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Didnt affect it much at all, just couldnt see the coast anymore so I had to anchor up and wait for it to blow over.
Mirones Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 and the storms travel witht he Wind so its hard to tell how many are out there
Daniboy3000 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 New goal: sail into a storm for giggles. People have said it slows you right down. How badly was your speed affected? if you are caught in the middle of a storm you are stuck and cant move. (while AI still can ;-) )
teatrader Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 If i remember correctly i was sailing a Yacht right into a storm and at first noticed a small speed change from 20 to 16-17 then when i got in the centre of the storm it slowed to 12-13 knots. Keeping the angle to the wind at all times.
DesertRat Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I have been in storms a few times. it does affect you speed a little, but not too bad. I think in the first OW build storms were really slowing players down, but that seems to be fixed.
Leo R. Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 i once totally lost myself in a storm and had to search a port to get my location. In addition it would be great if storms would also let you ship drift a lot to the side so you would get the real deal 1
Flavalicious Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Should youtube the old storm battles from pre-opem world
Flip Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Spooky scary storms. Makes your snow into a submarine
Henrik Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I do hope that storms will be a great challenge after release of the game, many risks and such!
Flavalicious Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 The storm battles were so fun. Trying to aim a broadside while your ship soars into the air on a wave then crashes down. You spent waaaay more time controlling your ship and sailing then you did shooting lol. The ship who didnt ram into another ship was likely the winner
Arnaud Arpes Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I've seen two storms, up in the top of the Eastern Caribbean island chain.I'm really hoping that they pose a threat at some point to your ship. I'd like to see captains be forced to anchor down and protect themselves from storms. If you're caught in the storm you should take some damage to your sails, and risk losing your mast if you've got your sails catching wind. If anyone remembers storms from the Pirates of the Caribbean game by Bethesda in 2003, I'd like to something similar to that. 1
Ulf Kristersson Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 This looks absolutely stunning! And I agree to Arnaud's suggestion, that'd be a lovely and immersive addition to the game.
Flavalicious Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 https://youtu.be/Innu6p5fHxk https://youtu.be/wy2YJ6dfS2w Stormd in the battles were actually dangerous, was fairly easy to capsize if you bumped into anyone. Lol
