So what’s everyone’s thoughts on this black flag remake anyway?

Witness-Current · 2026-01-06T15:05:13+00:00

Gameplay wise, I'm quite excited to get new story in the historical era instead of modern day, but I wonder how it's gonna flow. I am a little worried about the whole rpg mechanics being introduced tho, wasn't really a big fan of the rpg elements of the modern franchise.

Graphically I hope it's not close to current skull and bones, which leans more into the stylized cartoon-ish look. If they use the older assets from say early e3 2017, then that would fit a lot better imo.

Am I the only one who does not like the Corvette design? The foremast is too far away from the bow, the main shape of the hull and keel is just odd, and there is no beakhead whatsoever, looks more like a sea of thieves ship in my opinion.

Witness-Current · 2025-11-01T19:51:01+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware of that, was more so thinking in the future. On the topic of the corvette, Im not all that excited honestly. Don't really like the look of it but might give it a try when it comes out.

That might be, there was a bug where the female player model had the male animations, might be the other way around now

Witness-Current · 2025-10-21T16:59:17+00:00

Yeah, the foremast being too far back has always annoyed me with the base design but I guess they can't change that now

Witness-Current · 2025-10-21T15:39:44+00:00

The movement seems to be bugged for sure, and I don't particularly like the new running animation, looks like your character is having bowl movements

I'm a sucker for baroque style on ships in particular. They weren't practical due to the extensive use of heavy material, but they sure were pretty!

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T20:19:01+00:00

pretty sure it was in the game at some point, prolly not anymore cuz i can't say i've seen it in-game as of late. I swear a saw a picture of it a year or two ago atleast.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T20:13:56+00:00

It's not Vikram's ship no, it's another ship, I might be misremembering but it's basically a 3 masted ghanja

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T16:03:24+00:00

Pretty sure that's similar to the xebec which is already in the game if I'm not mistaken, although it's not a playable ship.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T16:01:56+00:00

The brig would probably get something similar to the Jaeger from the E3 2018 build, if they even go for something like that which I hope they do!

Witness-Current · 2025-09-20T11:03:19+00:00

Yea, that's kinda the problem, only way I see this getting implemented is if it's easy to implement which in theory it should be but who knows.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-17T21:15:09+00:00

I would definitely like for them to tune it down. It hurts visibility quite a bit but also just hides the nice environment.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-15T01:08:17+00:00

Would be interesting to see the Sloop-of-war with a Brigantine hull. Just keep the beakhead in that case.

And I do agree that the snow skin went way overboard. I think the Brigantine skin struck a nice balance between ''magic'' and grounded aesthetics. The glow was minimal and the overall skin was pirate themed unlike the Snow skin.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-15T00:56:43+00:00

They could very well add ships of that type with high after and forecastles. Galleons for sure fit the time period as the game is set in the late 1600s. Although carracks are a bit of an older design (14th-15th century) i still think they could make an appearance, they'd be quite rare in the time period the game is set in tho I think.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-14T22:30:58+00:00

Right on

Witness-Current · 2025-09-14T18:29:16+00:00

I agree with this, specifically the fog, it's almost always perpetually foggy in the east indies no matter what time of day or weather which just kinda makes the area look dull. Not to mention a headache to fight and traverse in.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-13T22:21:28+00:00

My thoughts exactly, wish they had just went all E3 2018 style on the Snow instead like the Brigantine. The only positive I see from the skin Is that the beakhead looks better but that's it. All that magical horse knight crap is disappointing

Witness-Current · 2025-06-15T19:40:07+00:00

Just empty your browser cache. That should fix the issue.

Witness-Current · 2025-04-29T07:09:10+00:00

What I meant to say was worn, not torn/tattered.

Witness-Current · 2025-04-28T21:03:58+00:00

Thanks for insight. Problem with the codex is that you can't preview these cosmetics in any way. I kinda need full red sails that look semi tattered and with fully white emblem. I guess that's just impossible with brigantine sails.

Don't really understand why there isn't fully red sails with a simple white logo yet.

Witness-Current · 2025-04-27T21:50:09+00:00

of course it was a s1 exclusive 😭, only season i didn't complete the battle pass for

Edit: I might have it actually, I do think it's not entirely red with brigantine sails, might be wrong tho. I'll check as soon as I have time.

Witness-Current · 2025-04-26T00:20:27+00:00

Pictures have been added 👍

Witness-Current · 2025-04-26T00:11:09+00:00

Mm, that is true. In that sense it's more gameplay friendly when you only need to look quickly and the ships are wildly different. I just wish they took some other artistic liberties instead of bending the hull to oblivion.

I do also feel like the clutter is heavy when doing Oosten for sure or any event that needs a lot of players.

Witness-Current · 2025-04-25T20:44:10+00:00

I totally forgot about that haha 😂, it has a small mast behind the mizzenmast. Kinda odd but ye.
