Really wish the new Ghost ship had more time put into it. For half a million, it's a black ship with a small decal. The hull should have parts that glow (the decal, glow leaking between planks, the lanterns green, etc.). The decal on the flag should also glow.
The new Hunter hull has more going on than the $500K Ghost Ship.
I agree man, I’m a pirate legend and as much as I absolutely love this game I am disappointed in the effort being put into Pirate Legends.
The new ship is pretty generic for what you would expect to see on a pirate legend ship especially for the insane price which is also a little over the top.
So our reward for all the hours of sailing, grinding reputation and teaching new players how to play this game for you because this game still doesn’t have a tutorial for new players is two costumes that have been here since launch and a cheap looking ship that doesn’t scream legend but cost us 1.5 million gold?
I love ya Rare and I appreciate all the effort being put into the game and I personally love the cursed sails but feel neglected at a Pirate Legend.

Agreed. My problem with this isn't that it sucks for Pirate Legends (which it does) but surely what we want as a community is to see it grow and more people playing....and this is what they are effectively playing for.....which sucks....I've just made a post on the very matter of new players and low levels having little to no encouragement to play....there should be....the ships should glow, our weapons should glow so when new players come they say "wow I'm gonna be here till I get that" but currently people see that at "end game" what we get isn't cheap in price but is cheap in lack of effort to provide us with a Carrot on a Stick, I suppose us PLs will just go around griefing and PVPing till we have something to work for...
PS I think Athena should be changed and be locked for people who aren't PL, if you're not a PL you shouldn't get Athena rep, it makes being a PL even more shallow than it already is :(

yah saw this sort of thing a lot early on. thats why i never pushed being a legend and still wont. they have never really been taken care of aside from a couple outfits and really long quests haha. i will continue to slowly get there and hopefully! by the time i do itll be worth while.
This is my point....no encouragement or reason to even bother
@ducklol1337
You should still get Athena rep, but maybe the items should be locked until you're also PL. That way people won't be discouraged from playing with PLs.
Or maybe there could be different tiers of sets. So an Athena set for non PLs, and one for PLs.
@Admiral-GreyJoy
It could be a slight glow. Or maybe you could toggle it on and off. Commence the light show!
Well really in okay with the legend ship not glowing all crazy like. The hull could use some detail. A glow would just mean you could spot me from across the map and know I’m doing an Athena’s voyage.
However! We agree on the Athena’s outfit. There’s nothing for legends to aspire for. Anyone who knows a pirate legend can gain the rep and get the ghost outfit just as easy as I can. Why not have an outfit only available to legends to achieve?
I have to believe that Rare already has plans here. I’ll be patient and wait it out. I’m just eager and wanted to join in on your conversation but again I’m sure there’s more to come.
@admiral-greyjoy lol ufo ships. Yeah please no! A slight glow when your on the deck maybe lol but no beacons of come kill me please.
@admiral-greyjoy said in New Ghost Ship:
@hailhypnotoad1 absolutely not rare. This is a pirate game!!! I don’t wanna see a bunch of glowing ufo looking ships sailing the seas. If your going to give us glowing ships you might as well give us cannons that shoot lasers & lightsabers too.
Then use the non Athena ships.
The gear glows, weapons and ships should too, if you're high enough Athena you should A: Know how to fight and B: Know how to run.....The two PL Figureheads can be seen miles away, so why not? Besides, the average player doesn't want to start on an Athena 10 Glowing ship PL
@ducklol1337 I never did learn how to run. That’s a tactic employed by merchants. I’m a self respecting pirate legend & my ship is simply gorgeous just the way she is 😍😍😍
@admiral-greyjoy Haha we already have glowing suits?! And hey i think we played together a week back or so! :D
But not UFO-y more dingy spooky glow lol i can't explain it but it would be rad IMO.
I completely agree. I was freaking out when I saw the image because of how awesome it looked and then I realized that it was half a mill for one piece of the ship. Now I’m sitting at 400K and debating between the regular legend ship and the ghost ship. I’ve held off getting the regular legend ship for so long because one I was hoping they’d come out with more for legends and two it’s pretty underwhelming. It disappoints me with how big of a deal they make pirate legend out to be but there’s not much for us. We don’t have legend weapon skins. We don’t have legend equipment. I really hope they put a little more effort forward for legends in forsaken shores but at the same time I don’t think they should wait that long. This is all stuff that should’ve been in the game for a long time seeing as it’s the highest rank in the game.
@iceman-0007 or why not extend the discounted prices to legends as well. I don’t care about anything in the regular shops anymore because I prefer the legend stuff yet they decided to give zero love to legends and keep those wicked prices.
@admiral-greyjoy said in New Ghost Ship:
I actually really like my ghost ship & am glad they didn’t make it a glow in the dark immersion breaking monstrosity. This is pirates not tron & if you don’t like it no one is forcing you to buy it. Aside from the figureheads the only glow I wanna see coming from a ship should be loot.
Maybe you missed the fact that Athena gear glows? Or that the cursed Ghost pirate ships sails glow?
I’m not talking about laser shows, just a slight glow leaking between a few planks (which already happens when you have skulls on board), the decals and changing the lantern colors. Plus they should have put more effort into the paint. It’s literally some generic stamp.
This game has more than a toe already dipped into the fantastical.
@admiral-greyjoy said in New Ghost Ship:
Lol, I do love the figurehead although seems to be hard to see the detail unless your standing two feet from it. Secondly I’m not exactly sure if the sails are a donut store advertisement or a tire commercial logo. Circles? Really? Ooo that’s intimidating. Lastly, the hull. A squiggly swirly line? Is this letterhead of a pirate ship?
I can appreciate the pride you have in your purchase. But your like a 16 year old who just spent way to much money on your first car the 1992 Nissan hatchback screaming “it’s a classic!”
The ship is a disappointment to me. But that’s my opinion man.
Legends need real rewards and incentives is all I’m saying. The prices are horrid, the options are non existent. I would love to feel some love for the hours invested in my loyalty to the game and community.
@vendettax84 to each their own I guess. I really like it & think it looks bad 2 the bone. It is I who makes my ship legendary not my ship which makes me legendary. You don’t have to take my word for it though, I implore & encourage all crews to hold their ground when they see this beautifully menacing war galley approaching. I assure you all who do this will likely have their perspective change & will then view this ship for what she is “bad 2 the bone”
The so called donuts on my sails are symbolic of the “whirlpool” of 💩 you’ll find yourselves in if you are unfortunate enough to be around when she makes her landing. Say goodbye to your skullfort 👋
I agree completely the ship should get a more ghastly appearance. The green lanterns are a very great idea to start with. And just the entire image of the ship like worn down ropes, mossy or ectoplasm woods maybe go a little more with how the ferry of the damned is designed? In general I think the customization options are very limited. You have a ghost hull but stuff like the masts and such aren't included in the skins. But maybe that's a topic for a different suggestion post. :)
