Season 16 QOL Wishlist Update

@hammerpunch I don't agree with all of these but I'm just gonna add my own stuff instead

• More PvE depth and challenge
• Rebalance loot pools to encourage single server play more
• Add a 6th emissary level unlocked via stacking
• Improvements to weapon balancing (revert Blunder spread changes)
• Don't add more bugs than you remove
• Mention HG at least once 😭
• Keep the monthly release format
• Don't troll the season

• Guardian Athena Curses ( likes colors of the 6 flames of the death) (blue, purple pink green red white)

Absolutely agree with anything that makes the 4 mecharnt commnedations viable.

A minor thing I'd like would be the ability to use any tier of captainacy trinket. I am avoiding purchasing the Cherished tier of most things as they are a bit gaudy for my sloops. But it would be nice to have the option of any of the 4 tiers.

@hammerpunch

I would say take the burning blade improvement a step further and once it claimed it is free from that world event shackle where you actually do things with it. Other raid voyages (if there's not a burning blade on the other server), tall tales, other voyages, etc. I heard in the recent podcast episode that a new reaper voyage is coming so it would be cool to use the burning blade on that voyage as well. It's just a huge, missed opportunity to keep that ship locked to a world event. I also feel like the ship as a world event currently doesn't offer much and if you're not a massive crew you're not going to try and take it most of the time. I think they should take it out of the world event and have it patrol a zone around reapers to patrol. They can do that or give it the ancient meg treatment have it roaming in different spots still like you can fight and take it but then the "world event" is over. You then get to keep the ship to do whatever with it.

@v01ds7r1d3r sagte in Season 16 QOL Wishlist Update:

• make PVP optional or make safer seas a PVE private server with all the perks and benifits of high seas. Since I know not everyone wants to participate in PVP, you could even make PVP part of like a battle mode instead so those who want to PVP can join the mode, battle it out, and receive rewards specific to that mode.

PvE servers or Optional PvP on high seas, are not going to happen.
These go against the core gameplay of sea of thieves, so even if one of the two would be implemented the risk reward ratio would have to be adjusted again.

A PvP mode would be possible though.
Arena was a thing after all and could become something again, considering RARE is frequently using Arena assets in their advertisements.

Maybe have a fort of fortune raid at like level 75 or something

I’d like to add another variety to the dangerous sea life. A giant whale, the leviathan, which is capable of one shotting your entire ship. They could have it tail your ship, mouth agape, wide enough to swallow your ship whole. It just tails you with its mouth open and you’d have to shoot its eyes with small arms to get it off your tail. Then it could loop around from the sides, opening lines of sight for cannons but threatening to ram your ship. It’s over gameplay loop would be similar to the Meg, only attacks in open ocean away from islands, drops food and loot. It could also drop leviathan oil than could be bucketed onto enemy ships to increase the damage and strength of fire bombs that set the oil ablaze. It could also make players slide across the oil as if it was ice. The main differentiator would just be the chance to be swallowed whole, I think 3-10 shots in the eyes should be enough to break the chasing swallow attack depending on crew size. I think that potential to be swallowed whole is a fun dynamic and the oil shenanigans could be fun as well!

• Black Powder Merchant - On-demand keg delivery that gives a random number of kegs between 1-8

• Merchant Forager - On-demand crate delivery that gives a random number of crates between 1-5 (wood, fruit, cannonball)

Yes this has been a problem for a long while. At this point people are spamming it under their YouTube comments because they refuse to acknowledge it.

Considering how they are now also making Kraken meat (and meg meat) much more common, I dont see why this doesnt' see an update at this point.

A new Ship Type,Arena come back,every weapon set (Legendary dubbel barrel pistol),player housing,New map parts,new emesaries,new anti cheat and old rewards as Glorious Sea dog sets should come back but with commandations.

Pls Rare do something against Cheaters.

Since only 2% of the player's time was spent in Arena, it wasn't worth the cost/upkeep of the server, so it was removed. Arena's not coming back.

@angelina1235855 good idea
