So, as there are a number of topics that seem to want to only debate and argue about the validity of a new flag available to those who may want to use it (which is not to be discussed here or your post will be deleted), let's discuss the other new additions coming in this week's update, and their potential impact on the game.
- Skeleton Thrones
Could these be as simple as a find and interact with social objective, or could they allude to future lore content and the eventual arrival of the long rumored Skeleton Lords, with each throne representing a different Lord?
Skeleton Lord Concept art from the "Art of Sea of Thieves" book
*also, 10 concepts for Skeleton Lord's, 10 thrones... (and currently 9 skeleton forts too)... coincidence?-
Event Currency (Bilge Rat Doubloon)
Could this be the only new form of currency, and if event items cost 20 doubloons, and how much can we anticipate company Letters of Recommendation to cost (and how many can be purchased)? -
Company Events (Bilge Rat Adventures)
As the first round of Weekly Events, the Bilge Rat Adventures seem to be focused on challenges related to discovery and socialization/cooperation with other crews. Can we expect to eventually see other new factions/companies added as part of the Weekly Events offering other types of challenges, adventures, or other opportunities? Take for instance, the Sovereigns, Admirals, or some other unknown company, each with their own unique wares and customization items? And then could each of these be then put into a weekly rotation of different events for the community to engage in?
Please discuss, but keep it civil. Thank you.
