Reaper bounty on map

  • I want to talk about a change in the game I'm not happy about...the different symbol on the map for the reapers bounty
    When a ship sails with the reaper flag we can't tell on the map what ship it is, so why should we know what chest they are carrying? It just doesn't make sense...
    Reaper chests are ignored by most of the people and when a ship already have one, it's not getting attacked maybe because it's not worthit, I don't know...
    A reapers bounty gets them attacked...but why shall we know before it got borded/sunk/stolen what treasure they have?

    It should be the same icon again for both chests, so we have to attack to know...it's always been like that, it should be like that again...

    Tell me what you think

  • Am I really the only one who thinks that?

  • @Schwammlgott

    I understand your point, but I disagree. The flag and the chest were made for different purposes, showing the same icon would only make things confusing.

    I have a theory of why you mentioned it happening:

    Reaper's Flag is generally used on three occasions: Players looking for PvP, players looking for friends on the server to form an alliance, and lastly new players who thought the flag was beautiful and did not know its real intention. In these cases, it makes sense that the ship is attacked, even though it has no loot. I like to attack ships that like PvP and I love to sink ships looking for peaceful servers. I only avoid newbies, but it is difficult to identify them in this case.

    Reaper's chest is usually picked up and taken straight to sell, unless you're on camper or on his way, attacking this ship doesn't pay.

  • Not sure what it is about.
    Golden Reaper has a different Symbol?

    In this case i'd agree and see no need to tell people what kind of Reaper i have onboard.

    The thing about the Reapers Flag is something that let me do another thread now :-)

  • @schwammlgott

    If the ships are not being attacked while people know what they are getting, it will not help to make it an unknown factor.

    Personally I don't have any issues with the different icons. I also would not have an issue if they were the same.

  • I would say that both reapers chests should show "red". The yellow emblem is hard to see on the map.
    Your message is a little confusing though. Are you saying you don't want the reapers chests to show up on the map at all?
    If this is what you're saying then I would disagree with you. The reapers chests showing on the map has created scenarios that have induced a ton of fun and a lot of adrenaline rushes.
    I personally feel the game is at a great place right now. Between stealing "chests of rage" and intercepting occasional Reapers chests we've been having an absolute ball! The "Hunters Haul" has added a nice twist because it's given us an objective to complete in the midst of plundering. Fun times!

    On a side note: The Reapers Bounty reward could be a little more enticing (say 15k).

    Now back to the seas to catch 120 more Ruby splashtails! 😂

  • Considering you can buy 10k gold for 20 doubloons, a reapers chest at 30 doubloons is more valuable than a bounty now they have nerfed it to 10k Gold.

  • @wrs and then you have people like me almost back at 7m gold (after purchasing all of this months cosmetics) and at 20.5k doubloons, i litteraly couldnt care less about both reapers chests and/or reapers bounty’s especially since they got brought down from 25k and no more commendations tied to it, just not worth the time of sailing towards one unless i happen to pass by it within 1 or 2 map squares.

    I make 250k+ Gold per session nowadays not even counting the doubloons, the funny thing is, is that RARE broke both the gold and doubloon economy with all the high tiered loot you are getting now (easy as heck to get villainous skulls, captains chests etc nowadays) and i dig up more reapers chests, gifts, ashen chests etc then id care to count, money is a laughable matter

  • @dag-13ernit no, I want for both the same icon again

    I somewhat agree although i only have 3m gold and 10k doubloons, but i still think it's a casual game.
    The one playing it so frequently just have that much.
    On the other side i also play very casual and are too rich for the amount i'm playing, but i barely loose loot to PvP and we are all experienced Pirates with plenty of miles sailed, knowing the map like the back of my hand and so we are mostly quick and successfull.

  • @bugaboo-bill 22mill and 5k doubloons here. I still enjoy ambushing Reapers!😂

  • The beam of light from the sunken ship is either red blue and green for reapers or gold for the bounty. So if players already know that information what’s the difference. The icon color won’t change people attacking the moving icon or waiting at reapers for you.
