New trailer analysis - a new ship type!!!

  • Odyssee mit Tee

    There are some juicy awesome details you might have missed in the trailer.
    So I put the most juiciest of them all up here for you and hope you are as excited as I am.
    Even though I am just "a filthy Slooper" and all. ;)

    BEHOLD - this looks a lot like a new ship type and one that the players drooled over for a long time!
    But it can't be, can it? :D
    Is that really (?) the Man o' War?

    Looks suspiciously close to a model I saw in a years old video. But on closer inspection I see some stuff that makes me doubt it.
    1st: It's just a spectal ship ( which highly suggests it's an enemy type only )
    2nd: I see no anchor to lower/rise ( maybe it is just in a dead angle? )
    3rd: No stairs that lead under deck ( in the "Captains Quarters"? )

    And other stuff.
    Still to see new ship types is exciting!!

    I would love at least two ship-types for the 2 crew, 3 crew & 4 crew build.
    The more ships there are to experience and to master, or simply to encounter on the SoThieves, the more unique and fresh everything becomes after all.

    Even when I have no real hope for the Man o' War ever making it into player hands.
    Since we all know - server limits and other problems only a developer would know. :)

    What I thought was even more intriguing was the
    Enemy AI can now board our ships?!?!

    at 1:34 of the trailer
    Am I right?!

    Hmmm I wouldn't bet on that.
    Could be a cutscene like event, fully for the purpose of the trailer even and not be in the actual game.

    A few times when Rare announced a glorious update bringing something unprecedented of epic proportions into the game, they announced it with animations never seen ingame at all.
    Like Skeletons walking into an outpost, hammering a declaration of war into it in the middle of town.
    Or a Pirate walking very stylishly into an Order of Souls tent, bringing an object to one of the sexy Ladys there.

    There is a hand full of very epic cinematic stuff that Rare has produced in the last years.
    It would be relatively cool if Skeletons could throw a grapplinghook and board from islands, or these water dwelling cursed looking dudes.

    After all there is no real AI threat for us on our own ship.
    Only other players. Which gives the deck battles a quite familiar feel indeed.
    I would love to be able to board a playership that has already lots of AI enemys on it which fight the Crew and I could help the AI like the opportunistic wretch that I am, huahahahahaha!

    I hate to burst your bubble here, but that been in the game already with flameheart ships. I don’t think it means anything and Man O War is bigger then that.

    I really hope so too, man. A new ship would be amazing, but I have my doubts.

    An alternative would be if we could swap physical models of our ships, and then still apply our cosmetics!

    You got the wrong ship.

    Look at the ship Davy Jones commands.
    I think the shot of a cannon firing is below deck. But it only has three mast and a several jib sails.

    Are we sailing the Sea of the Damned with the Ferrymans ship?

    Look at the model its not the same as the old ghost ships. Doesn't mean man o war but the model is different.

    As much as I would love to see a man-o-war 6 player ship I don't think we are getting one, if we can get ship model customization that changes the physical look of a ship while retaining it's functionality I think that would be amazing, was hoping maybe they would incorporate what the captaincy update might have been but I doubt that will happen ever if at all.

    Of course I do not mean THE Man o' War, which will probably only become a boss-battle last-wave ship at best. ;D
    How many people will even have that many experienced friends to bring out the best of the best of a ship like the Man o' War?
    Not sure about the number of masts and sails but of course its too tiny, that one in the trailer.

    Never give up and dream for more!

    There is this though... New models for ships or something else?

    Seeing such a well designed new ship type making an appearance really makes me hungry for more.
    The god known as ' ShootHere4EXP ' had such cool idea's for many different designs too.
    With faction related flavour!
    Only the Sloop though.

    By being a "Pirates of the Caribbean" fan and not a hardcore shipnerd. ^_^
    All I remember is that it was an actual original Edgelord classic. :D
    Black planks, black Sails?
    " Oh my gaaawd this is so cool. This Crew must be DEATH incarnate. " - every excited Teenager ever

    Even if the new ship-designs seem to be PvE only for now.
    Just by seeing more different designs makes me so excited for the games future.
    Not new Worldevents, or the hope for bigger servers.
    Would be cool if they came of course, but new ship designs - oh yeeeeeeeeeeeees!
