Having a smuggler faction would be interesting.
Benefits of faction
- Locating high value maps and selling them to crews
If i let my imagination run wild, this would be the tip of the iceberg on a huge update that lets us find a way to leave the sea of thieves, and smuggle its goods to the pirate factions on the closest big port (could be fictional big city on the closest landmass). You'd have to traverse the docks and channels within the city and keep your illegal goods hidden.
Who knows where the game will go. As they keep expanding things, they add more functionality to the game. On one hand making the game too complex and big will make the game less and less be about players interactions with eachother... but on the other hand, if they are able to take Sea of Thieves 2.0 to a grander scale with more than 6 ships, it would be possible for expanded things to happen.
Again though: one of the biggest Charms of Sea of Thieves is how deceptively simple it is, with the Tools not Rules mentality, and a level of choice not seen in any other games.
Having Smuggler Faction implies that you would need to smuggle things though/past something... would that be a PVE thing? would that be a PVP thing? How would the game guarantee the thing you need to smuggle it through? How would it affect players NOT smuggling?
I think it would be interesting if there was some new quests/chapters in the Legend of the Veil that involved sneaking around. (Like the final Fortress in the Legend of the Veil could allow you to sneak/fight through waves of phantoms and set off Athena Kegs to blow up each of the fortifications?)
@metal-ravage Yes, but does anyone use that bored as much? I think it should be us supplying the maps. Not the board, but it could be a way to store maps, but only if you're in the faction can you sell them? No kind of like role playing as a shady person in the alleyway
@immaket I'd say you'd have to purchase.
An emissary flag which gives a new option to sell maps to people when interacting with them
@hiradc I know, I know honestly.I had the idea of smuggler faction.I just didn't know what else to name it. a smuggler faction would be nice though But you do have a point in order to smuggle You need to have someone to avoid.
@hefty-henri Yes, definitely That sounds perfect for a smuggler.Faction the only faction that would be able to have access to a new area where you have to smuggle stuff from there Or two there
