Pirate potion re-roll

  • I have spent a few dollars on re-rolling my pirate because I am never completely satisfied. I get that it's probably partly why the potion exists. I have purchased yet another one not even a day after re-rolling my pirate again for the 5th or 6th time. I would like to suggest a few options though that would make me happier with my re-roll.

    I would love the option to strip my pirate down to their underwear and be able to have a true 360 view of them. Keep the randomizer if you must. I know a lot of people have wanted the option to customize their pirate to their liking in terms of making their own, but honestly if I am going to be presented with options to choose for my purchase, I would like to be able to get little more out of it.

    Sometimes belts and jackets obstruct the figure of the pirate in terms of hips. I know a lot of females who would love to have a younger more bustier pirate or one with more hips and it's hard to see some of those features. When I highlight them, they do a pose and sometimes I can't see their face all the way. Spinning them around in the ring of pirates makes it so I can sort of see their hind quarters...but not very well.

    Just let me see them in their undies, stationary pose, and 360 option. That's it.

    Thanks!

    Alright.

    I have purchased yet another one not even a day after re-rolling my pirate again for the 5th or 6th time.

    ....Soo your fault?

    . I would like to suggest a few options though that would make me happier

    You happier? so yeah...player fault?

    Rotate around the pillar, and you can basically see everything.
    But do remeber, You 99% of the time NEVER see your pirate in 360 view. Only the hands. And why only in there underwear? Is there body really that important?

    I know a lot of females who would love to have a younger more bustier pirate

    and there it is....

    option to customize their pirate to their liking in terms of making their own

    and you can do this. pick a pirare and dress them up. But the First main thing about SoT is the adventure, and your viewpoint of doing these adventure. Since...again you only really view yourself by First Person.

    People spend to much time trying to "find the perfect" pirate and waste time, missing out on the actual game.

  • You know you might never truly be happy with their appearance, no matter what. Right?

  • yeah there is nothing wrong with this imo

    qol addition that will serve many people and doesn't negatively effect the spirit of the random intent

  • I think some people haven't been in the pirate generator as of late.

    That said, The OP is absolutely correct.

    Sometimes poses and clothing obscure the pirate too much. I think there should be an option to remove all clothing, or cycle poses/items they're holding. I recall one of the poses was absolutely abysmal in terms of getting an actually good look at your pirate because it obscured too much. I used the Pirate Potion maybe 5 times already, and still wish you could save prior pirates you have "unlocked" by using the potion. (I miss my really old grizzled guy. He was cool. Like an old and tired Popeye the Sailor with a mustache, seen many ship-to-ship battles. But I opted for an Order Of Souls-esque looking woman later on to play up the Order of Souls look.)

    But yes, some QoL is definitely needed for the Pirate Generator. If Rare isn't going to give us the option to customize anything (Which at this point I'm either convinced they won't, or there's some sort of technical issue impeding their ability to do so), we should be able to see every aspect of the pirate we're about to choose. A 360 view would be awesome in addition to removing the clothing and changing the preset poses.

  • @almtychcknpoo

    Seems like a reasonable request that doesn't do away with the randomness.

  • @almtychcknpoo ah yes another fine post, I also agree. However rare seems extremely stuck on not budging on their point of view on this

  • I am 100% behind a suggestion to be able to see the pirates with nothing but their underwear.

    For some reason, especially on female pirates, they have these weird darker portions of skin, which you don't see until you've picked your pirate and undressed them.

    Like this example below, the pirate has a weird shaded area going up their body.

    I could have paid IRL money, re-rolled and found my perfect pirate, then I go to dress them how I want and see this weird skin shading.

    This would be solved by seeing the pirate in their underwear. Show me what I'm paying for before I choose it please!

    A preferrable option, would be that they fix this visual issue and make the skin consistently coloured.

  • @burnbacon I understand that it is definitely cosmetic based. However, I do feel that it's a small QOL update that would be nice to have. There are several pirates I have passed on because I can't see more behind the hurdy gurdy, they bend-over and are wearing a dress, clothing obstructs view while rotating around the pillar. So while you are busy trying to blame me in all this like some people would to try and stir up some silly internet argument (just to try and get a rise out of me), there are many people who agree that this feature is broken. I do hope you have a great day though!!! 💜

    That (skin condition) is definitely weird...

    @AlmtyChcknPoo I have long suggested that there be better options for zooming in closer, rotating (in place), showing more skin (in undies), as well as changing their item and pose within the IPG - therefore this thread gets an upvote from me.

    It's just knowing important and valuable info as a consumer before purchase which is always a positive practice in business.

    entirely reasonable request imo and fits right in with what qol is all about

    What a way to add nothing to the conversation and antagonize people over a QoL request over and over.

  • Below is another example that I just created by using an appearance potion.
    In the selection screen, she has a jacket and her skin looks normal.
    In the game, without the jacket, she suddenly has these weird inverted tan lines.
    This happens on almost all female pirates and is really annoying.

    As I've just proven, no you don't see everything.

    But do remeber, You 99% of the time NEVER see your pirate in 360 view. Only the hands. And why only in there underwear? Is there body really that important?

    Yes, it is important. People are paying real money for this and this is a game where the only thing to unlock, are cosmetics. Yet, they do not get to fully see what they are buying and only find out afterwards that some cosmetics are going to look weird. There's also loads of people who take screenshots in this game for competitions etc, so pirate appearance is pretty important, yes.

    Honestly, full rotation, zooming etc should be available for all cosmetics, but especially for those which we have to pay real money for through the Emporium.

    Your title references the pirate potion re-roll. However the content of your post largely ignores that entirely, and is instead requesting new features to the IPG. In other words, they don't match.

    Title =/= Topic

    Oh. Probably because I am in the process of trying to re-roll and am running into these issues in picking a new pirate. I'm trying to make this pirate potion last so I don't have to purchase a new one for a while. I can see why people have spent over 9 hours just trying to pick a pirate. I found one I liked then I immediately got gingerbearded.

    Oof. 😔
