Atlantis

    Me and my step dad have been talking about some cool ideas for the game since we both love it and he's a game dev himself. Since there's the Skeleton Fort and Skeleton Fleet why not add a third thing? We came up with the idea of having some sort of "Atlantis" a small underwater city or island with shipwrecks, monuments and treasure of course. It will act the same as the fort and fleet appearing in the sky at random causing the island to rise to the surface for players to race to and fight for the loot with a little help of NPCs to make it challenging.

    I wanna hear everyone's thoughts on it and ideas for it like
    What will the cloud look like in the sky?
    What would be a good name for it?
    What loot could be on the island?

    It’s a great idea and you can even populate it with the mermaids...well I guess that’s offensive.

    This, or something similar, is likely to happen with a merfolk expansion similar to what @Glannigan said. I think it could also have the occasional references 'maelstrom' idea put into it as well, where rather than an island rising up the ocean surface swirls down in a colossal whirlpool, revealing the structures on the seafloor. A similar approach could be taken but replacing the normal seafloor with the underwater sections of an island, small on the surface and serving little more than a marker for where the city stands. A small ruin on top, perhaps, to start the event? As for a cloud, I think it would more likely be a medium sized stationary storm rather than an actual shaped cloud like the skeletons summon. It'd be really interesting to see megalodons and skeleton ships interact with this new faction and possibly the maelstrom itself.

    This sounds like a perfect event for some Athena grade loot. I'd say make the spawn timer ~6 hours and load it up with Athenas chests, SH chests, SH skulls, Ancient bone crates, etc.

    *EDIT add a reaper chest or two as well, because why not?!

    If the island is far below the waterline due to a maelstrom, it would be pretty cool to see other pirate ships accidentally fall in and literally rain on your parade and getting shredded as they do so. Imagine being inside of 1 as it tumbles end over end! 😂

    Nice idea. A dev said in the last live Q/A that they want to expand the map downwards. I have a feeling your wish might be granted in a future update.
