New island for october?

  • "The Haunted Isles" and somehow involving the flying dutchman with lots of spooky sounds in the background, and maybe some more common supernatural enemies other than skellingtons?

  • Arrrr come close me harties and listen to me tale. The islands of Samhain rise up from the briny deep every October. Ye can see the purple aura in horizon from the foul curse on them. With haunted chickens and undead pigs the zombie skeletons move in waves. If ye survive the hordes of Samhain, booty at the end awaits your bravery.

    Lol but that’s just my story. You never know what will be added but have hope. Plus let’s see what every one can come up with.

    When you read the Art Book they mentioned the „Sea of the Damned“ and showed some Art Work from this Sea! I think this is the direction you’re wanting :)

    I'm not going to get my hopes up for a whole island, but a little bit o' spookiness around all hallow's eve would be greatly appreciated.

  • Even if we don't get an island, I think it would be cool if they took a page from Pirate of the Caribbean Online with their Curse of the Muertos Moon, which turned any player exposed to the moon's rays into a skeleton. So my train of thought is a new event, Duke would confront us in the tavern along side a (possibly hooded) Order of Souls member, perhaps one we haven't seen before. The story could go that a former native of one of the islands (now undead/skeleton) wasn't so keen on having their former ritual site becoming the hunting grounds for cursed skulls. In a turn of "If it's skulls you want, skulls you shall get" they have cursed the seas around the island, turning any pirate who dares to linger nearby into a skeleton. The goal of the event would have players go after totems around the surrounding islands, destroying them to weaken the Shaman's strength. Upon defeating a certain number of them, the OoS member would inform us they have pinpointed the Shaman's location. From there we would venture to the island to take on both them and their undead. After taking on the waves of undead and the Shaman (likely destroying their skull), we would be rewarded. But the event would go on in the sense that we must destroy the other totems so they cannot regain their power.

    Players who linger for a given portion of a night or more in the area would become skeletal in appearance (only the underlying player model), but would still retain their outfit and hair (which would possibly be turned black/grey/white). In this state, possibly other skeletons would ignore their presence, but to prevent this from being abused, it could apply the Reaper's Mark upon their ship, revealing that an undead crew patrols the waters. NPCs (namely shop owners) in the area could also possibly refuse service to crews who are at the time undead (but during the day the crew returns to normal), stating they're still wary after what happened with the Warsmith.

    I could see some commendations like:
    Defeat [Amount] of Undead Pirates
    Destroy [Amount] of Totems
    Defeat The Shaman

    Just an idea, but it would be nice to get feedback.

    I won't get my hopes up for anything, but y'all got some pretty awesome ideas, and hopefully we do get some kind of Halloween event.

  • @v**a-hombre Hopefully they at least give us some bats, cobwebs, and pumpkins xD
