Pirate enemy npc’s

  • It be decent if there where possibly pirate enemy npcs to fight as iv noticed it’s always skeletons, ghost’s , skeleton crews skeleton captains you encounter , it be decent if you could take out enemy pirate npc crews, captains etc to change it up visually, maybe you can raid there camp , take a bounty out on a npc pirate etc would help keep things feeling fresh.

    The more variety in enemies, sea creatures, wildlife the better

    Story lore. They are the “threats” along with other pirates who are the players.

    Also could be due to T rating on fighting “human living” characters. But idk

  • @burnbacon I thought this much with the player being the pirate etc 😂 but still few wouldn’t hurt occasionally as an encounter , say red coats , etc aswell . The player kills another player if u get me so I’m sure killing npcs would be fine . It help keep the game feeling fresh add more variety of enemy encounters

  • I prefer knowing that if I'm dealing with pirates I am dealing with players. It is useful in decision making. So my preference would be to not have this, and instead seek variety in other ways with the PvE.

  • @redeyesith I hear wat your saying , I wouldn’t mind if they kept pirates strictly players but there’s definitely room for more enemy variety to spice up the visuals. Maybe undead zombie pirates or something, tribes , more deadly wildlife , sea creatures.

    I could still picture pirate enemies to an extent tho lol 🤔😂 accepting bounties/ missions etc to take out legendary pirate lords or crews as a mission or event as a community boss fight would be decent

  • It would require them to make a fully new type of NPC that can do all the things a player can do, at which point they have to try to make it balanced against a real player otherwise they'll be worthless to fight or too hard for most. Things like knockback would also have to be figured out. Could they be knocked off their ship? Would they mermaid? At present, the horn of fair winds and blunderbus knockback do not work for any AI enemies.
