Don't get me wrong here the map is great as is, but I haven't been really excited to play the game like I was when I first heard about the devils roar being added. When the map was expanded for the devils roar it was AWESOME. even if not that many people go into it, I still love that the map was expanded at one point.
I miss being able to fight the skelly fleet in different regions of the map. And I feel like as the seasons go on the map is getting more crowded with everything that has been added. I think that the map needs to be expanded to the west and north. The addition of new seas and new islands, new enimies, pve aspects, and more pvp areas to fight at would be awesome. Think of a more mountainous region or a tundra type area. You would have new environmental hazards to encounter.
Such as falling rocks in a mountainous region, or an avalanche in the tundra region. Even a desert region would be pretty cool with a new environmental hazard of quicksand. New foliage to look at, new areas to discover. New forts for world events to spawn at, new islands to fight ghost fleets, and new enimies to encounter. There could be new loot for these areas, and maybe a new world event in them. Much like the molten sands fortress that is a rare activation because it has an active volcano.
I think this would open a lot of opportunites to add more things in the future because you would have new areas to do so. I would love to see the skelly fleet be able to have the ability to spawn in different areas again, or complete world events at new islands. This would also open more opportunites to make new ruins, and maybe new talltales. These areas could also add new megs or ancient megs. I feel like this would be a really cool addition to the game, however I do know that the map now has everything in a specific spot so one part of the map would be more focused and these areas would end up much like the devils roar with a low player count that actually goes into them. But there could be an incentive to go to these new areas like certain commendations that you would need for a new ship set, clothing set, equipment set, etc. could lie within these new areas.
This would also give way new areas for people to explore and immerse themselves in. Even a jungle area would be a pretty cool addition to the sea of thieves.
