@triheadedmonkey Is this your doing?
@MaximillianZeus I love the idea of monkeys in Sea of Thieves, and this is a very well thought out and presented idea! I hope this gets lots of traction!
Thank you kindly. If you, or anyone reading this, has any improvements or thoughts I wouldn't be opposed to updating this.
@filibustersg yea i know pets are going to be micro transactions but wouldnt it be cool to go out and capture your own pets and tame them
AWE Monkeys.
This is a fantastic post from one of our old sea dogs. It's great to see you back on the forums. I must have this post on the Community Ideas Master List. May I add it Good Sir.
@maximillianzeus yep we need monkeys and gorillas because they would be good for a boss fight to win loot and stuff.
Really like the idea of monkeys stealing items from pirates and using them in merchant quests, maybe they throw bananas at skellies that spawn?
Loads of potential if we're able to encounter small troops on islands :D
@enf0rcer
Absolutely you can add this to the master list.@xXAssassinXx-AC @SailorKek
I love the idea of shooting monkeys from cannons but other than it be funny what purpose would it have? Perhaps the monkey, assuming it makes it to the enemy ship, would run to the banana barrel and begin to eat all the bananas?@KattTruewalker
What purpose, other than being funny, would throwing bannanas at skeletons have? What about monkeys can also steal bananas from skeletons? That way a pirate could lead a skeleton into a monkey troop and have the monkeys distract it.@maximillianzeus yeah a direct hit to a pirate could stun them,
You could get different colours monkey that do different things;
-Gold could eat bananas
-Black could pick up cannonballs and throw them off the ship or use them as a melee weapon.
-Brown could rip away the repairs on the shipWell I'm thinking it might put them off their aim, knock off an arm or something, perhaps give a pirate a little bit of an advantage, although knowing monkeys they'd probably throw some at us too ;)
@chronodusk
Hey now if a monkey steals from me its only fair that I can steal from him. Steal his life that is HAHAHA! Glad you like the idea though.@KattTruewalker
Hmm..put off their aim you say?.. A Skeleton slipping on a banana would be hilarious!I think this idea should be integrated into the new rumored pets that will be provided within game.
Imagine being able to give your monkey a command to go steal all the bananas off of a specified player ship? Too include, all pets should be really hard to kill ( 95% survival rate, with respawn) as they move erratic and quickly. Nobody wants to see monkeys or parrots being killed.
Pets with in game purpose:
As far as we know all pets are only available through purchasing with real money. That means that pets cannot have an actual purpose in game because that means those who have money to spend will have an in-game advantage over those who do not spend money. Rare is against the pay-to-win/pay-for-advantage mentality.
Granted if they make a standard version of pets that can be purchased with in game currency while fancy pets are purchased with real monkeys then sure pets may have a in-game purpose.
Death to Monkeys:
I want to see all the monkeys die by my hand who are you to tell me that I do not want monkey blood on the deck of my ship and in the waters wherever I go?
