What is your Dream Patch?

Having more than 1 custom character

• Clothing Presets, more clothes and Vanity chest cosmetics.

• Ice Biom! Hell to the yes!

• Would like to see a social hub to chat and have a good laugh with other crews. It would be outside of Adventure mode, and it would serve as a good endgame.

• More wildlife and ways to interact with the world, the seas need to maybe feel a bit more like Subnautica, more details to explore in the ocean, and more fish to learn about. (hey I know its too much to ask for but youve said its dream patch 😜) RP fun tools, smoke pipe etc... And tone down the magic, many devs are jamming magic because you dont have to explain why, "Why? Cause magic"
  More authentic tools....

• More Mythical creatures, Giant crabs, huge birds that can snatch you off your ship, Spider boss in dungeon areas like in Sailor Bounty.

• Zombies!!! Halloween update that will introduce those unfortunate pirates and sailors that didnt rot all the way to skellies yet.
  Ill even settle for a reskin to skellies.

My dream patch is Captaincy where you can save your ship cosmetics, free of charge even.
A patch that would respect players thousands of hours of previous grinds even if that meant less stuff to need to grind in the update.
The ability to vote in a captain during a session rather than only being able to set sail as a captain then the ship just becomes useless after the captain leaves.

Basically the concept of Captaincy had me more excited than I have been for SoT in a long time. But the way they implemented it has actually had me pretty much quitting the game. Every time I try to explain how captaincy works to a friend whos thinking about coming back to the game it makes me lean more towards quitting altogether.... And it prevents them from even reinstalling. Ive unintentionally made 5 friends reconsider returning to the game. The lack of updates to this season and the fact bugs like cosmetic saving are still an issue 2 months after release and Rares just been silent/absent this whole time. If they don't care about the game anymore why should we? At captaincy launch I was probably leaning 60% toward quitting again. Think I am about 85% now. The fact they haven't done a serious quality of life update to this game ever (just minor changes here and there) and now adding a whole seasonal update that just added many more things that need quality of life improvements. Just hard to care about a game when the developers keep making it painfully obvious that people of certain mindsets or playstyles aren't welcome here

@k1lroyw4sh3r3 Yea I had been arguing from early on that we should start with a little more supplies. Now we can buy supplies but still I would rather pay a large sum for a small permanent increase to my starting supply so no matter where i respawn when i sink i would have 10 more planks at least for example. Between storage crates on islands and rowboats having so much stuff in them I am not as worried about stocking up at the start of a session but then theres the issue of making zero progress if you don't sell.... Which isn't even a factor of getting sunk by another player. The server could shut down. Or the game could have data loss which has been happening since the game released and they still haven't figured out the cause to be able to fix it. And in return for the game forgetting our progress? We get a voyage to go dig up a bunch of chests... Which then might get stolen or we could have data loss again. The voyage is kind of a slap in the face like "sorry you lost hours of gold gains, here go spend hours more digging up new chests you might also lose"

Captaincy ignoring thousand of hours of past progress is just utterly disgusting though. And such a lame excuse "you weren't a captain before so obviously you wouldn't have progress" yea well captaincy was one of the first things announced. If this was a feature update in the 1st year of the game it would be fine. And its an awesome feature for people newer to the game now. But its garbage for people who grinded every update as they came out. Very weak excuse because this update has very little actual content of substance the OG players would have most of the stuff unlocked so nothing to farm so if we disrespect their time investment now look at all the CONTENT they have to do now!!!

Its crazy to think as buggy and laggy as the game could be at launch the combat actually functioned way better and felt better. Between hit reg issues and server instability the cost of adding all the new content has created a worse player experience. And considering how PvE heavy this game is PvE combat feels awful now thanks to all the nerfs for the sake of PvP balancing. I wasn't 1 to double gun but whenever I ran into them not once did I have any complaint about how fast you could weapon swap. That was on me to figure out how to counter them being a double gunner not some nerf that had to happen for the sake of someone elses choice of play style. The lower damage on all our attacks, the weapon draw delays, decrease sword swing range. Has PvE been rebalanced at all for these changes? Nope that would require them caring.
