Ahoy Pirates! Here's a list of feedback/suggestions thought of by myself and the SoT Community...
For an Arena Specific list, check out our fellow Pirate: @BaronBrr's Post here: Arena Feedback/Suggestions
~New Content Additions~
-New Land Creatures (Friendly)-
-
Tortoise- Hides in shell once provoked, used in Merchant Trading. Found in tropical green islands.
-
Turtle- Can be captured in net (not killed), sold to Hunters Call.
-
Chicks- Found in Chicken nests, placed in a basket, can be sold to the Merchant Alliance, for Gold.
-
Lizards- Can kill Chicks, move fast, can be sold to the Merchant Alliance, for Gold.
-
Land Crabs- Can be sold to the Hunters Call. (Many variants: e.g. Hermit Crab, Red Crab, Coconut Crab)
-New Sea Creatures (Friendly)-
-
Whales- Can be seen squirting water out of the sea, and jumping. Also can bump into ships causing some hull damage.
-
Dolphins- Can travel in pods of 4-6. Can be seen jumping out of the water occasionally, used to add more friendly sea creatures to the game. Potentially can lead you to floating loot.
-
Sea Crabs- These are bigger than the usual Land Crabs, they are slower, but if the player gets too close, they will try to attack. Causing low damage.
-New Land Creatures (Hostile)-
-
Poison Dart Frogs- These are very small frogs, that can spit small amounts of poison at the player. They are found in tropical areas, but can leap away if the player comes too close and looks at it. This meaning it's very hard to kill with a weapon. But the player shouldn't worry, it can't deal lots of damage. It's only there to make the game more colourful and thriving with life, and of course to make the Pirate's life harder.
-
Crocodile
-
Rats- These rodents can infest your Ship, stealing food... what a pest... Arghh!
(Any others you'd like to see? Comment them below!)
-New Sea Creatures (Hostile)-
-
Electric Eels- Swim around close to islands, can give you a nasty shock! (Credit: @Galactic-Geek)
-
Jelly Fish- Swims around tropical islands, can sting the player causing damage. (Credit: @Galactic-Geek)
-
Sea Serpents- Have the ability to wrap around a Player's body, dragging them under. Can be killed and drop Sea Serpent's tooth (Rare). Most commonly found in underwater caves.
-
Sirens-Disguise themselves as friendly creatures, e.g: Castaways, once interacted with will attack the player. Can drop gems/gold/chests stolen from other pirates. (Credit: @Zevaryian)
(Please comment on any others in the comment section!)
Random Events:
-
The Ocean Crawler- These are hidden under sand, close to islands and grab the ship with both pincers, causing hull damage. To kill it the Player must use the Cannons/Guns to crack the shell of the pincers, then use the Cutlass to slice the exposed flesh, for the most effective way. This is a random event and will trigger once a ship has come into the area. This can attack all types of ship. Once killed drops loot, Hermit Chest, and Ocean Crawler Meat.
-
Kraken Variants- Just like the Megladon has variants, why can't the Kraken? One could squirt ink at you instead of sucking you up, etc. (Credit: @Zevaryian)
-
Whirlpools- Open up randomly across the sea, causing any nearby Ships to be pulled in! Can be escaped from by going fast enough, however, this causes hull damage. (What’s funnier than being swirled around while frantically trying to escape?)
-
Castaways- Can be found on an island, big or small. Just as rare as a 'Message in a Bottle' or 'Golden Artefact', once found, he can either be captured and handed to Bilge Rats or the player can drop him off at their desired island. Dropping the Castaway off may result in more or less money than capturing them, it’s a gamble. (This will link into the ‘Wanted Pirate’ posters around outposts).
-
Rogue Pirate Raid- NPC Pirates take over an outpost, like the Skeleton Fort, however, the Outpost cannot be used properly until all the Rogues are killed. After they are, you can go around to all the shops and the Inn, to claim a reward, for being a good sport. The three traders will also give you Reputation for your help.
~Ship Ideas~
Ship Customisability:
(All can be bought from the Ship Market)
- New Lantern designs. [Shape]
- New Map designs.
- New Barrel designs.
- New Mast designs.
- New Harpoon designs.
*New Bell designs.
-Ship Cosmetics-
- Arena Ship Designs - Add Arena ships designs to Adventure. Earnt by winning matches using specific ship design. E.g: 'Lucky Clover Wins Grade II' unlocks 'Lucky Clover Flag' Credit: @KlutchxKing518 Original Post
-New Ship Features-
-
Ship Name engraved above the entrance to Captain's Quarters, and on the sides of the ship/rear. (Adds a more personal touch to your Ship!)
-
Walk The Plank-Players who have to leave the game, whistle on the ship has the option to 'Walk the Plank'. This would make the plank have an actual use, and would be fun to watch a scurvy pirate jump to his long-awaited fate. Even the sharks would love this feature! Free Snacks!
-
Dice/Card Games- Long voyage ahead? Why don't you stand around a barrel and play some games! This would make long voyages more entertaining, and create panic moments when there's an enemy ship coming your way!
-
Barrels Spawn- When a ship sinks, the Cannonballs/Planks/Food barrels spawn above the wreck in the sea.
-
Closing doors- Doors should be able to be closed on the Galleon.
-
Fire Spreading - Fire should gradually make it's way up/down the mast. This makes it more realistic and gives people time to respond to the flames making their way up to their gunpowder kegs.

Trading Companies Suggestions:
Order of Souls
New Loot:
Skulls:
All of below replaces Villainous, adds greater variety and could come with extra commendations too.
-
Gilded Skull: Dropped by Golden Skeleton Captains, this skull is immensely heavy and the carrier is slowed down due to the weight.
-
Ivy Skull: Dropped by Wild Skeleton Captains, this skull blends in very well with bushes, grass, etc. Can poison the carrier, occasionally.
-
Ghastly Skull- Dropped by Shadow Skeleton Captains, cannot be seen well in the night, however, with a lantern, it can be uncovered.
Rogue Pirate Marks
These marks can be exchanged to Duke, for doubloons, and some rare customisation options. They are a patch of cloth, think of them as ‘Dog-Tags’, the more experienced Rogue Pirate you kill, the rarer the Mark will be.
- Mark of the _____ (Common – like Castaway)
- Mark of the _____ (Uncommon- lie Seafarers)
- Mark of the _____ (Rare- like Marauders)
- Mark of the _____ (Rare...er- like Captain’s)
- Mark of the _____ (Rarest- like Chest of Sorrow, Chest of a thousand grogs, etc.)
(Spaces left for the tier name of the Rogue Pirate)
Gold Hoarders
New Loot:
New Normal Chests:
Check out @Cows-n-Muffins Chest Designs here
- Legendary Chest- Golden, with diamonds engraved. 2000-2700 Gold.
New Cursed Chests
-
Hermit Chest- Ruby red glow, with a pair of pincers sealing the chest down. It houses a crab in it..? Yeah... also I forgot to mention it's going to be really hard to keep this chest still! So, make sure you keep an eye on it! 1295-1750 Gold.
-
Kraken Chest: Found floating in the ocean after defeating a Kraken, or, is held by one of the tentacles and make the Kraken drop it by shooting it with cannons. It's best to keep this chest somewhere secure, you'll often see a tentacle come out of the chest and try to damage anything around it. Even the ship hull. Can be exchanged at the Gold Hoarders for gold.
Merchant Alliance
Merchant Items:
- Crate o' Feathers
- Jar o' Venom (Also used to tip darts with poison)
Hunters Call
Hunters Call Items:
- Serpent Tooth
- Crab Meat
- Hermit Crab Shell
- Ocean Crawler Meat
Outpost Ideas:
-
Card Games- Located in the Tavern, players can play games such as Card games, Dice games, etc. To win Gold! This gives players a reason to not be too hostile towards others on the Outpost, well not during the game anyway!
-
Barber Store- This would make the game more realistic, having an NPC stand behind you, while you're sitting on a barrel. This could also make it so the NPC may not do the correct haircut every time, which adds some humour to it.
New Gameplay Additions
-
Weekly Voyage- This Weekly Voyage could be a big voyage, which happens at the end of every week. This could be a high number of chapters Voyage and even have a mix up of the 3 Traders in there. The Voyage would be just as rewarding as taking on a Skeleton Fort.
-
Pirate Legend Only Tall Tale - Possibly a backstory of the Pirate Lord? What is the origin of the shipwrecked galleon in the Pirate Legend's Hideout?
-
The Old Mother - Tall Tale which delves into the story of how the Old Mother (Kraken) was captured by the ancients/mermaids. Possibly a new threat could be found during the Tale, an elder kraken that was in slumber?
If you have any other ideas, comment them below and I'll add them to the list. All credit will be given. This isn't complete yet, and I will be checking back daily.
