Bells on boats

  • Hello, for a while I have always appreciated that there are bells on the various ships but I also wondered if it could have a use. Indeed, for players who are with players they do not know, writing in the chat or talking is not necessarily the best way to signal a danger. I was thinking that when we ring a bell, it could send a sound or a text signal to tell all our crew members to come back to the ship because it is in danger (and of course to be able to deactivate this effect in the settings in case some people abuse it, so it could be useful only with the "good" crew members that I personally meet quite often)

    This is just an idea like any other but I wanted to share it with you because it seemed like a nice little useless detail.

  • I've seen players do it on roleplay. Ringing the bell desperately and shouting at your hit Mic, it's a fun and exciting thing to do, but now your enemy knows you've spotted him... and any attempt to sabotage it is gone

  • I rowed out to a shipwreck once, and as I resurfaced, I realized that fog had set in. I called out to my crew for help (this was befor crew status tags had been added and extended the range of crew names), and the next thing I heard was the ringing of a bell in the distance to my left.

    That bell was a life-saver and I will never forget it.
