King Flameheart's Return = Turf Wars in Season 6?

  • For those who have observed the Visions from the Orb over the holidays on the Sea of Thieves Twitch Channel and watched the Call of the Bells Christmas Carol, I propose this forecast.
    While us pirates have been galavanting about with Jack Sparrow and diving into the Sunken Kingdom, it seems the Reaper's Bones have been growing a massive army, both living and phantasmic, thanks to the efforts of Flameheart Jr. With their numbers at a massive amount, I believe they will soon make their move, island by island, outpost by outpost, to claim territory for their "King of Fire". With dark times again on the horizon, The Pirate Lord believes the time has come for Pirate Legends of all persuasions (including the mysterious Belle of the Deep) to band together to protect the last bastion of true freedom they call home. While the ebb and flow of this "War of Flame and Fortune" will be constantly moving based on individual sessions, Pirate Legends who reach a certain level (7-10?)will gain access to a Tall Tale/Voyage hybrid that will take them on a raid of Captain Flameheart's Grand Stronghold on the newly overran Golden Sands Outpost. Reapers, on the other hand, will get a new Tall Tale/Voyage hybrid that takes them to the Shores of Gold to perform a ritual to bring back Captain Flameheart into physical form. These new voyage types will come along with an increased level cap and new cosmetics for Athena's Fortune and the Reaper's Bones.

    Any thoughts?

  • Sounds cool. Probably won't do since a world event and I don't respond well to pvp.

    I would not like to see a turf war. Maybe a contest to see who turns in the most. Alliance servers would make this sketchy AF tho.

    Not actual fighting between factions, just who turns in a standardized "most".

  • Sure! I'm all for more Tall Tales/Voyages and more depth for factions. Just no turf wars. Don't need SoT to turn into Splatoon!

  • @el-spaniardchi

    If they didn't abandon arena so soon....

  • @pithyrumble yeah, could've been a game mode for Arena, along with a whole bunch of other modes like a TDM mode, 2v2 team fights, 1v1 (maybe?), A game mode where you try to burn each other with ashen winds skulls, or blast each other with tridents.

    Or, you know, fish slapping... That could be a game mode. 🐟

  • I really hope we aren't heading this direction for the game other than story based. I do not want to fight other players in a stupid turf war or some kind of PvP battle ground where we have to claim points or something.

    I am not interested in that from a PVP perspective. Now if the trades companies themselves want to get up to that and it doesn't involved us fighting actually other players, I'm for that.

  • I love the idea, I’m sick of all the PVEers downvoting this stuff but I think it would be an awesome idea and probably end up with more alliances within the factions but obviously still keep it to where we can fight anyone
