    Ahoy me hearties!

    I’m just throwing a few of my wish list features out there and invite you to do the same! Let’s get some eyes of these!

    Grog types- a time honored tradition on the sea of thieves needs more. I love the novelty of finishing a voyage with one of my homies and grog”ing” it up before hopping off to go to sleep but I want to see different types. Maybe a grog that causes you to sway outside the water but swim faster and more nimbly for a short time in the water. Maybe one that causes you to belch fire instead of throwing up, options are limitless and I’m sure many of you could come up with some awesome ideas.

    Tavern mini games- I feel this feature has been requested before but c’mon where’s the arm wrestling, knife throwing, betting gold…. The list goes on. The commendations and rewards for doings these could be really cool and it would just be fun to do.

    Dueling- I know the arena is done. I feel like the arena island space could become something else. Think about it, your ship enters the waters around the island. Not sure how to effectively pull this off but maybe make it an enchantment where weapons and cannons don’t work there. You park your ship, climb the stairs, streamers waving in the air… then you enter the dueling lists. You could enlist in various types of matches from one on one sword fights, multi-weapon matches, to team melee’s. I think this would be just the sort of thing to get new players comfortable with pvp and help them learn it without having to wait ages between fights. When you can’t get enough practice and every engagement seems to end in death, it can be pretty daunting and cause said player to run from all fights. If this is implemented correctly it could lead to more players being unafraid to protect their spoils. This is good for reapers who feel their constantly chasing runners and good for regular players who feel they aren’t up to pvping.

    Apologies for the long winded post!

    bow and special arrow tips

    nocturnal monster lore with night time creatures for big islands

    sirin creature for a sky creature that gets run off with bells and cannons

    fish weight and emissary ledgers for hunter's call

    bow fishing

    tattoo shops/ hair shops where people can design custom tattoos and get their hair/makeup/curses fancied up

    stats that can be made public and shared if people choose to, pirate profiles. all the stats on the website and others as well similar to what they show during the end of the year stats.

    @wolfmanbush I’m down with the bow or crossbow. Limited range and slow reload speed with a high damage!

    Harpies or actual siren enemies. Like that hypnotize you to walk off the ship or just carry you off or something. Something that attacks you on your ship when you get close to their nest or island whatever

    A periscope for the treasuries/shrines so you can check in on your boat.

    The suggestion of bows and arrows made me think of whale hunting with spears in Assassin's Creed 4. Spears that can be found washed up on shore or in barrels.

    A spyglass with an adjustable zoom.

    Occasional whirlpool that randomly appears but make it so that a skilled crew could use the outer edges of the whirlpool to speed up and change directions.

  • Gazgemauch

    Insider

    agree on all of those suggestions.

    i would like to add to the list with:

    • more pet types, like crabs, snakes, lizards, chickens, rats, etc.
    • voyages for cool boss fights/more boss fights in general
    • this one's more a personal thing, but a costume themed after a D&D Illithid
    • more loot with gameplay mechanics like the ashen winds skull

    Customizable ship’s Lanterns and compass. It seems like a no brainer and would make a huge difference. Especially if you’re always on the helm like me.

  • TimedSatyr79799

    Dye wheel so we can change colors of the clothes like hair.
    I would love to change the color of dark adventurers hat to white and the feather to black, slouch hat and scrappers vest and bilge rat gloves to white, ghost belt to white and black with glow, it would seem so sick.
    Emerald or ruby blade set in outpost cosmetics instead of insiders coz it takes 103 weeks and sapphire blade isn't completed yet.
    Diamond blue set in outpost cosmetics similar to obsidian and mercenary, with blue and white. The base blue, with the part white. Like the gloves full blue with white strings and blue gems, every equipment blue with skins similar to black dog.

    @timedsatyr79799 as much as I’d like to see a clothing color dye feature. I’m not sure they’ll do it. Although they could introduce the ability to pay an outstanding amount to dye a set or certain article of clothing permanently and paying a less costly amount to revert it back. That way you can’t just purchase black dye then have the option to dye all clothes black. The hat slouching feature would be sick! I’d like to see a feature that allows us to see the weapons on ourselves. Not only because it’d be awesome but also as a way to observe the enemy and make a tactical decision on how to approach or confront an enemy crew.

    Another feature that I thought of last night as a helmsman. An "Emergency Turn" feature, or as it is called Hunt for Red October, a "Crazy Ivan". Basically, you activate this feature and your character essentially "hits the wheel" and the wheel spins rapidly either left or right at a speed 2 to 3 times faster than if you use the standard turn controls. Even though the ship's turning radius wouldn't change, the ship's reaction time would be faster. It could come in handy if you're soloing and need to make a rapid turn because you were below deck and come up to see you're about to hit an island or if you want to avoid a skelly ship, Meg, or Kraken. To counter it's effects, there could be a minute cool down so that a player couldn't use it consecutively while in battle.

    @kiethblacklion I feel that could take some of the skill out of helming. Part of what you need to do is stay on top of steering, especially in battle.

    I want to equip ALL my pets! Or at least one of each type. With that and a merchant voyage I'll have my own noisy little ark!

    I am absolutely for publishable stats, that go into far greater detail of your characters story (ie ships sunk, K/D ratio, missions completed, animals caught ect)

    -Hunters call emissary and expansion to include Trophy animals (similar to Red Dead) with hunting tails and special awards.

    -Sea Fort concept: PVP (Attackers vs Defenders) archetype, imaging having 8 people attacking a sea fort with ships (4 sloops) and 8 people defending the fort?

    • Last but certainly not least, different ship styles. Not saying change the placement of mechanical assets. But it seems to me that no different than changing figurehead, a ability to reskin the hull to mimic another ship style would be incredibly cool! Imagine a schooner, junk or frigate style hull? It would open up a entire new universe of customisation! 😍

    My wishlist:

    • In game LFG thing, posts more likely to be noticed and in general better than needing to use a third party

    • In game stats sharing.

    • add Arena back

    • new Ghost fleet thingy. You don't need the floating head, just another ghostfleet world event

    • Customise the ships compass, lanterns, harpoons and map table

    • Snow during Christmas

    • Man'o'war bossfight

    • Wall of Shame for Reaper Runners \s

    • Giant birds that attack you from the sky

    • More items like the Flamethrower and Disney Sticks. Maybe a gun of sorrow that shoots water and fills up ships?

    • Standardised Portal Hop

    • Buff stolen Reapers loot

    • Increase spawn rate of FoF

    • Special Gold Vault missions where cursed chests spawn

    • Ashen Hurricane event, all 4 Lords at once (because why not)

    • No Ritual Skull limit

    • Devils Roar sea forts

    • No more Red Sea

    • Vote to Kick Players

    • Duel Teammates

    • Table Games Area

    • More cosmetics behind commendations

    • Better chat censoring. I mean I don't really care because I'm old now, but I know younger kids play this and the fact that it's possible to bypass the filter with spaces is a but bad.

    @PithyRumble
    I actually agree to Noah's ark.
    Equipping every pet will be great. Whoever boards will be dead lol
    Even a teammate should be able to do so.
    @ottyman8687

    1. Yes
    2. Yes
    3. Never
    4. Ghost voyage
    5. Very much
    6. Of course
    7. Never gh
    8. VERY VERY MUCH
    9. Exciting
    10. Yes
    11. Define
    12. Agreed
    13. Barnacle chests vault underwater
    14. Why not
    15. Yes
    16. Yes, even all events there and morrows peak spawnable outpost
    17. Yes except sog
    18. Very much open crew will be better
    19. YES
    20. Very yes
    21. Agree highly
    22. True.

    Highly, i wish rare would add everyones opinion.
    I think decorations should be something too.
    There should an aquarium in each ship, where you can make every fish you catch live and showcase it swimming in it. Same for chickens, except in a pen instead of a cage. You should be able to enter the coop, and watch them lay an egg as a animation. For pigs, a pen. For snakes, they can hang on your neck and poison an opponent.
    I even think there should be different barrels of bad drinking stuff. Like rum, grog, and ber. I don't wanna say it.
    Instead of increasing the crew size, the ship should increase. The sloop should have 2 decks, the brig 3, the gall 4. It will be a great challenge to take and a lot of fun.
    Also, books!
    Yes, there should be books. There should be a new shop on every outpost selling books, even journals or diaries sometime. Books should only cost 600 gold coins, because in pirates age it was like way cheaper.
    Books should be guides, or a story. The adventures which we have now, should be displayed in a book sold by an outpost representative, as a story, or there should be a 100 to 200 page story books available, always adding it daily. It will be a great fun way to pass time sailing. If we can write our own and sell it to other players, we can recieve 1000 gold.
    There should be chairs too. As a decoration, we can create our own!
    Crate of plants and 2 planks will make it a plant in a pot.
    Table will be made by 3 planks and we can keep anything on it.
    We can also display the meg's fin or krakens tentacle on our ship.
    And others.
    There should be bottles which we can drink out of.
    Make the tankard and bottle of the same skins. Bottles would have the same effect, but its alot of bad drinking water.
    I really hope rare adds all of our opinions in the game :D

    1: ability to name our ships

    2: if Server Alliances are allowed to continue to exist, let us join into a server with two boats (so we can play with more than 4 friends.)

    3: Make Athena missions fun.

    Getting the anchor back up is the balancing factor; we also already have an alternative - harpoon turning. Its balancing factor is the environment 's availability.

    Chicken pet.

    Pig pet.

  • Liljimothy2306
    Seafarer

    Pvp fixes (hit reg, etc)
    Desync fixes
    More/better end game voyages (excluding the new veil PL one). Yes it's good but it's more of a World event. I want more end game personal voyages like the normal Athena one but maybe a bit shorter with more variation ( something with the new shipwreck from veil voyage would be cool) and fully randomized islands. Maybe new ashen Athena voyage.
