map expansion?

Any news of this happening in the near future?

 

No idea as to when it will happen, but new maps are promised.

 

The hype train is at the station on that thread (http://forum.plunderpirates.com/ind...r-official-hype-thread.851/page-22#post-20383), so maybe new maps are closer than we think!

 

Different era maps sound great. Any new maps sound great. Hurry up, guys. We are all in favor of new ports and monsters.

 

Likely this won't be released for awhile. I imagine that the coding required to add maps is extensive, can you imagine the coding required to switch between maps? That's quite a bit of code for an 8 man crew. Still, this is definitely one of those features that I al anxiously awaiting

 

Is the consensus that you'd only get to sail your ship on one map at a time? Or is there the possibility of creating our own fleet(!)? Add a Harbour building that costs EP (since there's no more use for it after getting the last lighthouse) and can creat "scavengers" that hold a couple guys and can simply go exploring but not attack anything beyond 1 star. Give them greater speed by 25% though to make up for it. One scavenger per level of Harbor.

Edit: just saw this thread: http://www.midoki.com/forum/index.php?threads/breakdown-of-ships-complement.1273/ could put the scavenger in the Shipyard instead...

 

Hurry please as my ship lays idol and my pirates are just getting drunk allllll the time. I keep saying how about a little sail about the map and its always the same thing...Been there done that! Sometimes I just want to slap them but alas we will wait for a new map....

 

We could have a space pirates map and we could all travel around Ur........Some planets.

 

Just when I thought I could live without PP running 24/7, I read this.

Ok; It's a hopeless cause and now I'm in it for the long haul. Bring It ON!

I know a tiny bit about coding, enought to know that the code work required would not be too hard. They already have a template for the next new map with the original. Also switching maps would be as easy for them aswell.

 

Coding is one, but it's not pretty to look at code. The time consuming thing is designing it. And as you can see from the game they strive for perfection.

 

For a coder its always fun if it's their dream profession. I don't doubt the time consumption one bit.

 

Two things:
1. You should do a 40 hour a week job. Everything get's boring at a certain moment.
2. I was talking about the graphics and the designers who need to draw everything etc etc. That is time consuming.

 

Ok I'll get right on another 40 hour a week job while being a legitimate shaman.

 

Wait...what?

 

My off days are devoted to shamanic rituals and magick

 

I like the idea of scrolls of maps lying on a desk. the visual of that makes me happy. perhaps with ones that have visible compasses? so we would know which direction is NESW and so on... you know, so when talking about our islands we can give coordinates. I thought I knew which way was which but we recently had a discussion about this in my guild and now I am not so sure...

 

I think the devs said the original map would not be expanded, but new maps (probably buyable with all that EP) will be available.

 

New maps? Like different places err.. I mean different seas?
I also wonder if there are new mobs...

 

Yes. Entirely new maps. Some maybe having different places, or themes.
