Chest of Souls - respawn chest

@mr-whaletoes LOL! you have to kill other players haha

e.g put chest some where kill people and collect the green smoke (soul) that appears when they die,
so as you probably know you only have a short window to collect the soul.

players will have to descide weather or not to risk waiting for a revive or going to ferry so the enemy cant take their souls and continue the onslaught haha

@mr-whaletoes in that case maybe a disorientating black screen when your soul gets taken.. same time period to respawn as the ferry but harder to find the exit?

@galactic-geek i dont see why you wouldnt be-able to revive on an enemy ship? it does promote pvp (obviously! lol) spawn campers are already a thing though so 1x chest per server gives people who are getting camped somewhat of a chance to retaliate/even the playing field... and lets be honest, if a galleon of toxic spawn campers get the chest... odds are another galleon without the chest made you rage quit yesterday anyway lol

i take back what i said, it demotes pvp lol

@crowedhunter haha maybe bro? but i think that would make it abit OP, my idea is all you have to do is find their chest and empty it, if they kill you again then just return to ferry so they have no more souls to use.

A bit unclear on why this should be?

@crowedhunter and then what? Fun..?🤔😆

@crowedhunter GG EZ

haha or leave your boat elsewhere and beable to die on an island. dont mean to toot my own horn but its a great idea! lol if people say otherwise theyre just salty from pvp without the chest... sea of ptsd i reckon aha

same people have a shores of gold and jack sparrow tall tails saved to exploit the game though haha

heavily promotes PvP.

Now, whats wrong with the fact that PVP is promoted in this game?

There are 2 issues with this.

1, Rare does not want to incentivize just killing players for any reason other than sinking a ship/stealing loot or defending your ship/loot.

and 2, This feature sounds entirely out of place for this game and how it plays. It may have had use back in arena perhaps, but it sounds entirely out of place for normal play.

It's in recent patch notes - you can no longer revive allies or crew while they are on an enemy ship. This was a purposeful change to prevent, or at least reduce, spawn camping.

Indeed, spawn camping has become a modern issue that rare is trying to stop people from doing, even going as far as to punish the action if its done excessively, so it would make no sense that they add a mechanic that goes against the hard work they have been putting towards ending spawn camping.
