Just a quick few notes from the Gamescom stream...
September 19th Release Date
(Talk Like A Pirate Day. Coincidence?)
New Volcanic Region
You won't start off there but make a choice to take part in missions there.
The islands have geysers and volcanos on them.
- Water can get too hot to swim in.
- Geysers can chuck you up in the air if under one.
Rowboat
Merchant Alliance Cargo Runs
NPCs will ask you to deliver items across the seas to other NPCs on other islands. Including:
- Rum - Very delicate - so need to sail carefuly.
- Expensive Cloths - Can't get wet or decreases in value.
- Plants - Need keeping wet as not to shrivel up and die.
Reaper's Mark
The next Bilge Rat Adventure after Cursed Sails is Cursed Crews
Players can show themselves on the map for others to see and hope come to chase them down. (Useful for a player started bounty or maybe to advertise a gameshow/personal event)
