NEW ITEM: Chest Of Light - Helps and harms!

  • GeNeReDeR

    What is the hardest skeleton fight you can imagine?

    Well to me that is fighting 10 ghost skeletons with pistols and shotguns at night. Why is that? Because you may not even reach them holding up your lantern, you will get killed mid distance....

    What can we do?

    How about a new kind of chest in the game? Like there are chest of sorrow and chest of 1000 grogs lets introduce the..

    CHEST OF LIGHT (working title)

    -should be worth about 850-1050 gold

    • should be about a 40% as rare as captians chests are... why? It should have a somewhat frequent appereance and you might wanna save one of those if you are brave enough because....
    • at night it shines bright as 3 lanterns and in a big circle which helps you fight off ghost skeletons if you just drop it quite near next to them. The radius of light should be about 250% of a lantern maybe?
    • downside is that when this chest is on or very close to your ship it not only will shine as described thus make your ship very visible to enemys at the horizon but also ignite all lanterns on your ship and you cant put those out while the chest of light is within 150m again making your ship extremely visible to enemy players!

    I would take one of those with me to skeleton raids or high end skull bounty quests... sure thing!

    Interesting how overly emotional people can debate about crossplay and pve safe zones but when someone uses the suggestion forum to suggest something fun but still quite easy to add in nobody blinks an eye...

    Nope, this is against Rare's vision for the game!!!!!!

    How's that for emotion? :)

    Seems like a great idea to me. Unique and has a pro and a con similar to the other specialty chests.

    May want to add a feature where you're slightly burned or lose health for holding onto it. That way no one is using it as a giant lantern running around islands to explore. It should be more of a place it down and stay around it instead of a carry around indefinitely giant lantern.

    Op keep this on topic if you are having so much trouble dealing with the other threads. They are being moved and locked to megathreads as we speak so chill out.

    I like the pitch of this chest, more about the part that it lights up than anything, but regarding shadow skellies I don't think it would matter that much. SS already are weak 50% of the time, and threatening 20% of those times when they have guns, and even then they pose an actual challenge when doing athena's missions, I really wonder if this extra tool would feel remotely helpful and not just a combersome aid.

    But I'd want that chest in game regardless, bonus effect against SS and all, the more loot variety the better.

    Thats the good part keeping one of those chests on your ship is just an option with a downside.

    The chest could act as a campfire too

    I totally agree. Idea wise, creative and fun, but in practice, not that very usefull.
