Cut content - let's post stuff that was in beta but is now gone.

    So, I've been going through the website recently, and noticed a lot of stuff that's on display, or was in the beta/alpha but has been cut from release.
    Thought it'd be neat to have a place for people to post stuff that they know of, that isn't in full game.

    Reckon this was cut to add/sell later?

    I'll start:

    Waistcoat

    Jackets /recolours of admiral's

    Breastplate / tricorn

    Vest

    Shark hull/figurehead/sails

    Stripe ship sails

    Other striped sails

    Any more?

    Sorry if photos don't work properly, please feel free to collate more stuff we are missing.

    I also saw haircuts like the Mohawk, and the viking/mermaid braid, as well as a lot of bandana recolours.

    It's probably still in the coding. They're probably just going to add it in via events or the premium cosmetic store.

    @mcdoll the race of merpeople from the original trailer. The skeleton pirate king. The gold hoarder skeleton. Fiddle from the trailer. Pet parrot and cat. (Pets are coming I know)

    They even made a fricking action figure for the gold hoarder skeleton even though it's not in the game.

    @x1-two isn't the gold hoarder skeleton just a skeleton captain covered in gold? Because those are definitely in. But huge back tattoos were cut from beta.

    The bow and laughing emotes have gone on a voyage at the moment. But I don't think the things that are no longer in the game were cut with the express intention of having more to add to the game later.

    With the way the game has been built around/along with the community, it seems pretty obvious that things left on the cutting room floor were just design decisions to focus what would be best for the core game at launch.

    I imagine most of them will probably return at some point, and not as DLC.

    Can't wait for the roadmap:

    June: Captaincy update. Own your own legendary ship. You can also buy pets now with real money.

    October: Tattoo update. Customize your character even more. Oh and you can now change your hair color. You can also buy more outfits now with real money.

    January: Ship customization update. Here's four new sails and figureheads for your ship for only 210.000 gold each. You can also buy ingame gold with real money now.

    It would be a pretty stupid design decision to cut cosmetic content that you have already created from the game when all you have in the game is progression towards cosmetic content.

    @x1-two this is what they do now... cut content and sell it back... I hope it don't happen here but I wouldn't be surprised

    I know, it's happening in a lot of games. Instead of delivering a feature rich game and then adding on top of that they just release half completed games and build a complete game over the months. Should at least be so honest to call it early access, because that's what it is.
    Ubisoft got a lot of backlash for this kind of behavious and look what they did, they changed the way they behave. Instead of releasing broken messes of games we get complete games and DLC for years on top. That's how you do it right.
