I forget where I had read this... maybe I just really wanted it and dreamed up the idea.. but I'm pretty sure at one point (around last years e3) i read/heard that players could create their own sail logo (clan logo) etc. and use them on ships.
Did anyone else see this ? I'm wondering what happened to the idea... Really would be something great to include in an update.
Would be a nice addition.
It doesn't have to be all that complicated, I could see something like the Halo emblems working well - where it's a few layers of shapes that you combine.
It could also give more stuff to work towards if shapes unlocked for various tasks and levels.
You could look at another player's sails and see instantly get some information about their achievements.

Will be open to abuse. Even with simple logo editing you'll need a lot of in game moderation to remove all the rude things :D
Personally i don't mind but yeah with a little imagination you can be pretty bad.
Yeah, I thought that too. But that really only happens if there's too much freedom (like in COD's emblems)

Players already draws mal genitalia with the map marker, tho.

Yeah but my point was even with the most basic tools to make custom logos you can break the games terms of service :D

I get ya... But I'm thinking that the layers could be fixed and there's only basic editing, just pick a shape and it's colour for each layer, as well as the sail colour.
Layer one: frames/simple shapes
Layer two: frills
Layer three: Items/animals/etc.
@realstyli Im cool with that, id like to see fully customizable ships etc.. give me any tools and ill show rare how to abuse it.. Id be their best tester for that sort of stuff. :D
@youe-chester said in Custom Logos on Sails:
@realstyli So like the Diablo III editor, that actually can work.
Never seen the Diablo one, the Halo one sprung to mind. I am sure there are other similar examples.

I can see into the future. If this happens we will be sailing with people with MLP sails and s******s. That will be the entirety of the sails in this game.

Yea the diablo one i remember making the flags and different flag shapes, etc. I liked it and it was simple. something like halo I would be fine with as well. The game needs that kind of detail, and like others have said we don't even have the ability to custom color our sails. I know its early in the game so I have high hopes this is all coming

of course, i mean we all know this is a problem as gamers right lol.. d***s just hanging everywhere, b***s on the mid sail, a mouth up front, and an @$$ on the back haha... so we would need moderation somehow, like others suggested, limiting shapes and the way they are used would still be better than whats offered at the moment.
halo did foreground and background shapes, diablo had a decent editor as well.
Gta and cod editors are great but then rare would need to incorporate a system of reporting users for abuse so I can see why they would avoid it
They could have certain shapes and letters and maybe limit your letter characters with only 2 since that will be all that can fit on one sail or maybe a certain tag idea for youtubers or your stream channal etc. Also i was thinking they should have a name the ship option to vote on like ex ¨The fairy of the damned¨ and have it on the back of your ship aswell.

yea if they did it like diablo then awesome. Cod though? If you give people ANY shapes they will bend and twist those shapes into something phallic. That's kids these days. I'd rather limit my options then chase/be chased by someone with a my little pony sporting a massive erection on their sails.

@realstyli
I should've seen the innuendo in my post really shouldn't I?
To be honest, I couldn't tell if you were hinting at it or not! XD
I've been given this some thought and what if this were the case:
Level 20 in all factions - custom flag emblem unlocks
Level 30 in all factions - custom sail emblem unlocks
Level 40 in all factions - custom hull emblem unlocks
Level 50 in all factions - legendary versions of each (which might include "shiny" colours) and the ability to recolour front ornaments (palette swap).
The emblems would be as I described before in the thread, simple layer-based compositions, no scaling, and only minor movement (if at all).
Doing activities and achievements could unlock new layer shapes, frames, frills, animal shapes, item shapes.
Maybe instead of custom text, you could also add unlocked titles for the ship - similar to the ones that unlock for pirates. Or ship names that you pick from a template of approved words? And they appear on the side of the ship.
@realstyli great idea!
Just make sure you don't allow bananas or aubergines (eggplant if in US) and the OK symbols as options!

Now we are getting somewhere ! Tie it in to more objectives around the game world. Make the better symbols part of high ranks and higher rank objectives.. more basic shapes and symbols would be lower rank unlocks

@lizalaroo my bad lol. Was trying to get a point across :3
lol I don't get what was so bad about what you said. the third person statement and toast sail gave me a good laugh
@eraaam How about making the Pirate legend sails glow up during the night to make them more visible? Or at least add a toggle option! I think it could match the Athenas fortune outfit :)
Why is everyone so frightened of genitalia and so-called hateful imagery? This is a game where you can kill one another to steal treasure or just for fun. Why is that less disturbing than some fool who thinks it's funny to sail around with a hoohoo-dilly or a bent cross on his flag? I'll tell you why. Because you allow society to tell you what is or is not disturbing. The ridiculous aversion to genitalia aside, if loving people would take this so called hateful imagery and use it in the name of love, it would no longer be considered hateful imagery. Most just don't want to see it because it reminds them of an potential aspect of the self that we'd like to deny and don't feel like dealing with. Might as well leave it to future generations to sort out and sail on with our 5 choices.

@youe-chester half the islands look like male genitalia or do I need to visit Freud?
Nooo there is a cute little hedgehog-shaped island !
