[Idea] Ship System

[Alexand3r]

@Mojo Risin I prefer the vehicle approach but your idea is also pretty good. Would be different, require fewer changes and stay true to the WoD Garrison feature. Thing is I dream of ship fights like in AC: Black Flag. It would be fantastic (of course, it wouldn't be as detailed and realistic as in AC, but it still could be fun).

@Sollye Thanks!

@Nayami Totally agree. As far as my idea is concerned, you could have a crew made entirely of undeads/death knights! And even customise your sails (though I'm not sure the whole image uploading you suggested would work). Maybe they could implement a tool that allows you to modify even tiny details of your ship's sails, thus allowing unique decorations.
Thank you for the feedback!


Just saw the 6.2 PTR Notes. Damn, I would love to use one of those new ship models with a feature like this.
A man can dream, right?

Yeah..it's a shame but I'm still hopeful. Maybe in the future we'll see something similar to my idea.

A lot of effort put into something that will probably never happen. I don't know why this idea of having a personal ship suddenly got so popular, but I'm pretty sure that most of these things would not even be possible in the wow engine. Even if it was then every player having their own ship to sail around would never work cause either the entire sea area of the expansion would have to be phased or there would be hundreds of ships stacked on top of each other.

Basically same thing as the garrison, cool idea on paper but terrible in game.

Can't we just get back to actually playing our characters, using their abilities to defeat our enemies? I thought one of the big whines of Cataclysm and Wrath was that it wasn't us that beat the end boss; why the sudden desire to delegate the killing and the winning to NPCs?

Now...if they show something like this at Gamescom I'll be a happy man (highly unlikely, I know).
