So I have been thinking of ways both small and big to improve the game and increase the lifespan. so here are my ideas starting with the world itself, it would be nice for a ever changing world that changes over time for example shipwreck island could keep claiming ships eventually turning into a ship graveyard, wanders refuge adding broken windmills or structures, the outposts give them a more unique personalities like galleons grave the shops made of old ships, ancient spire maybe an old torch light lighthouse on the other spire you can light just like the flames of fate torches on the island some cobble stone paths and a few more small buildings to show the outpost is profiting from its location by the devils roar. changing up islands help make the world feel more alive and help keep longtime players from becoming bored from seeing the same environment since the game launched. Another idea is more visually diverse enemy NPCs even if it's just the illusion of variety. Ghost pirates, zombie pirates, marauders, cannibal tribals with masks (monkey island reference) all these could be reskins of skeletons behavior wise with the exception of marauders who are spawned on the island like the animals particularly the islands with fort like structures. but it doesn't stop at hostile humanoid npc. Adding more hostile sea creatures like sea serpents reskin of a kraken tentacle, whales and even the devil whale aka Mobydick just a larger reskin of a meg. these reskins will help sea of thieves feel like it has more variety of enemies just until more unique enemies are later introduced... giant crab. Another idea is adding more stuff to purchase like little knickknacks that act like a metaphorical fidget spinner (please don't actually add a fidget spinner into the game) or piercings. More drastic weapon skins like for the cutlass a wooden sword, a fish, a one handed ax, a rapier, a storm fish head bone and so on. other ideas are adding different weather into the game just plain rain and water spouts. Now some ideas for possible future updates.Making the sea feel less empty some npc trader ships for us to plunder that carry tea and spices and The Grand Maritime union as an enemy faction with the Man o war as a roaming boss battle. I would like to see in the future a large hub town to explore play mini games with other crews see the headquarters of the game factions, gold hoarders a bank, merchant alliance a warehouse, order of souls a fortune telling shop, hunters call a fish market. The town can have a library where you can read up on the Sea of Thieves lore maybe pickup a voyage or tall tale. a new fort for The Grand Maritime Union can be a Spanish style fort where maritime soldiers spawn from doors from buildings each round begins with a bell noise. beating the fort gives you merchant loot. Now to finish this up more ambient creatures like dolphins, crabs, sea and animal life, more divers biomes ice, swamp, stormy, sea of the dead. Last but not least add rewards for commendations, example clothing items like a chicken hat for the turning in chickens comedation. Those seem to be all the ideas off the top of my head but I wanna hear from all of you so please leave a comment down below on ideas you would like to see in Sea of Thieves.
Ideas to make Sea of Thieves even better.
@shadow-gamer-ab I gotta say even the Pirate Legends should have some short of privilege to buy expired event items or cosmetics. If they did bring a one hand ax I can think of a few skins for it. If they did bring a Man o' War, it will bring more of a challenge with multiple variations like ghosts and skeleton ships of the Man o' War. For a curse though I gotta say the Skeleton curse (it shows the character slowly turning into a skeleton like Wanda or Warsmith). Also a viking themed cosmetics because some cosmetics I've seen repetitively. Also if they do make a player Man o' War, it'll be in a PVE or a two teamed PVP, Depending on the situations. Last thing is the reaper cosmetics should be upgraded like if you maxed out all commendations you'll also earn the Legendary Reaper Bones Outfit including weapon skins.
@valhalla6661083 Have you seen the fan made Ice region concept art with the Norse themed cosmetics? That would be an awesome addition to the game. On the skeleton curse I have a feeling it would eventually find it's way into the game but in the form of a costume. Speaking of costumes i wonder if they will add a mermaid one latter or a snake.
