Cosmetics/Weapons

@voshell Additionally, I read that a lot of people were upset about the changes to the "Shores of Gold Curse." It seems that it originally had more variety and was then changed to be the same for everyone. This also seems to have upset a lot of the fan base. I can understand the disappointment due to what is needed to obtain it. This appears to be a very easy fix. There is the "Sailor Tattoo Set I - XVI" and I don't see why you couldn't just add "Shores of Gold Curse I - VII" to the vanity chest which would equal each variation of the Gold Hoarders NPC's. This would somewhat restore the initial uniqueness to the effort put into unlocking it. That way no one would look exactly the same.

Devs, this whole forum is directed at you in hopes you will do more than just consider these fixes/updates. Looking at one of your art books; you had so many original concepts that you should not overlook. Some have made it into the game but weirdly most are still absent. I see concepts of other additional weapons such as what appears to be a hammer, an anchor (both seen at 00:31 of the linked video), and even muskets! (shown below)

There are a ton of additional tattoo concepts/symbols; such as face tattoos, mermaid tattoos, some sort of kraken/serpent sleeve tattoo, among many others.

Sails have many designs that can implemented as well. At least half the sails/figureheads made it into the game shown so why not all?

You would literally be taking pages from your book. For anyone who watches the video I recommend viewing it a half speed. They had some spectacular original ideas. Hopefully this triggers something in the Devs so they re-acknowledge some of the great ideas that they appear to have forgotten about. Check out the link below!

Yeah, all the original weapons in their concepts should have never been left out nor the ones that were found in the data-mine of the game....

@Voshell ur aware what scrapped content is right?

But yes some is of that stuff added would be pretty cool, especially the greymarrow sword in one of the photos.

@doomscorp
Of course I am aware but I have never seen anything about them admitting it is has been scrapped and will never be used though. If it was scrapped it was a bad decision on their part. But, it doesn't hurt to try and bring it up and possibly stir up some forgotten ideas.

@galactic-geek
True about the variations of the sword but from I remember when the game first came out the rapier was supposed to faster attacking with less damage and the greatsword was supposed to be slower with more damage per swing along with the boarding axes which I assume would cause melee damage to ships. There was also supposed to be a second type of pistol. See link below. There was a few articles on it before the game was even released.

@voshell
It would just add some more strategy to the PvP having to adjust to different play styles; which always gets my mind racing.

I was informed that "There are several forums that the development and design teams are interested in and always monitor. It would be very helpful if you would be able to add it here so that they can be considered." so hopefully sometime soon, someone from one of those teams replies and does something about it.

@MiffedNote201 Pipes would be pretty fun especially if they had different smoke tricks lol

I love seeing it when ideas and creativity flood the forum!!!

Agreed on the above shirt. I would sport it in game for sure! A couple other cosmetics they need to add is both mysterious stranger outfits.

@voshell
Oh and maybe a new curse that gives us the glowing eyes that the mysterious strangers have! I really dig the eye patch from the female version and the male gloves.

There is also the matter of adding the gold hoarder eye patch, Duke's/Stitcher Jim's face bandages, Stitcher Jim's arm chains, I could go on and on. The NPC's have more variety to their outfits than we have. I would love to have all those little details incorporated.

@galactic-geek Like I have said previously, it is already an in game model; I can't imagine it being difficult to add. Just like most other items/cosmetics mentioned above.

This is another outfit they need to add (Belle's) and again showing us the glowing eyes.

Then we have the below facial bandages.

We still need the following hairstyles as well. How can they give NPC's such sweet looking setups and leave us out in the cold?

arghhhhh because it's a pirate game, and their advertising is just as pirate-y arghhhhh

Nah, there's actually no reasonable explanation. Rare would rather just Photoshop some promo-images to drum up hype than actually release the teased cosmetics.

And this isn't the first time I've heard of similarly teased cosmetics never showing up.

@voshell I mean this is a game that only has cosmetics and we still don't get a color wheel (except maybe for hair)? And how many of the items only have 1 color option?

You know how in the game fort-towers and trees are designed to resemble sails from far away?

I think a lot of this game is like that: it's meant to trick players into thinking it's something it's not, all the while someone, somewhere is having a laugh at our expense.

@thagoochiestman They just need a little push in the right direction to add the things being discussed in this forum. Hopefully with enough views and responses it may get their attention!

@thagoochiestman And don't get me wrong; I love this game! I was hyped about it back into 2015 when I saw the first trailer for it. But they just need to realize that all these little details would just top off their amazing product and like I mentioned above a lot of the community catches stuff like this and wonders the same thing. If I worked as a developer for SoT I wouldn't of let any of it slip through the cracks and been clamoring for it to be implemented from the start! There has to be someone working there that has thought about all this!
