I think it would be great to be able to crouch in this game.
Crouch
@tankeyturtle indeed.
... and while doing so, be able to hold one's weapon/tools at the ready to use while crouched. I'd also very much like to be able to at least use my spyglass while sitting down, and crouched.
Perhaps a list should be created delineating which tools/weapons can be at ready and usable, while both sitting and crouched. I'd love it if our GT could disappear also while crouched, as it is when we sit. (For stealth reasons. I'd also like it to disappear when standing, running or swimming, but at the moment that would be impractical).
@tankeyturtle ikr! Im guessing it has something to do with all the different body shapes in "the random pirate generator."
Maybe theres no coding for different body styles in place, so theres no way to divide up the animations based on if you're skinny or fat. I dont know just speculating, I know if my fat pirate crouched in the same animation as a skinny pirate my knees would become one with the gut lol@lord-pharqwad some large body types may just have to go down on their hands and knees. I mean, so they don't fall over. Heh.
Yeah, I suspect some characters would just look awkward and not be able to hide very well because they are so big. I mean, we often crouch to hide... the smaller, leaner body types would have an advantage in that department.
@tankeyturtle said in Crouch:

This ability should have been in the game where we all are thieves at the very beginning! It is ok to be bold and walk right up to something and take it. It would also be very fun to thieve with stealth.
We need to be to crouch and sneak around as we lurk around on other player ships to steal their loot and sneak up on them. The gamer tag should go away during a crouch to better allow us to hide behind things and in bushes.
Also, give us an empty barrel here and there we can jump into. We can hide from skeletons letting them pass to jump out and re-engage them. Be able to spring out and surprise other pirates as well. An option pops up to hide inside. The hidden pirate can jump out at anytime. If someone comes along and checks it the pirate's cover is blown and they pop out automatically.
Just like Jumping in Final Fantasy XIV I'm going to say Crouching in SoT is NEVER going to happen ;-)
Nah I'm hoping for even more than just a simple crouch. I'm hoping for a stealth mechanic, press and hold crouch (or toggle) and you'll hide your gamertag/name so people have more trouble seeing you. This way you can have an ambush where you don't have sleeping pirates and actually move trough bushes unseen.
