Changing Appearance Suggestion

    I have a suggestion here...

    What if you have the option to use the appearance potion but when you pick your new pirate, it still saves the old one so that you can pick which pirate you want to use. Like instead of just changing your appearance, you unlock a second slot.

    Here are a few things I thought of with this though:

    Issue: Some pirates will hop out of a match to change their appearance so they can trick other players.
    Solution: Make it so they have to wait 12-24 hours before they can switch styles. Also have them pick their appearance in the menu.

    Issue: People having tons of different styles
    Solution: Max it at 5 or 10 and if they want a new look, they have to delete one of the others

    Issue: Tons of people have changed their pirate already.
    Solution: Give them a free second slot or have a 1 time change price and a more expensive extra style slot. Example: 149 change your appearance, 499 second appearance slot

    Personally, I am super attached to my character. I would hate to lose them forever, but I also would like a second thinner pirate for the times where I want to be extra sneaky or I would like the opposite gender.

    I think it would be a great addition to the emporium and a lot of people would love to have a second playable character without having to use a different account

    Also Presets outit and equipment save lockers when? Oh and apply all on outfit, ship and equipment?

    Thanks!!

    Definitely wouldn’t mind having another pirate without deleting my main one, always would have liked to have a male and female pirate, we got so many cool looking dresses and some look rather goofy on my pirate.

    You're supposed to grow with, and have a history with, your pirate, because your pirate is you - and there is and always has been, and always will be, just 1 of you.

    I think having character slots would be better than having magical shapeshifting abilities.

    I wish I could have a fat guy and a muscle guy. I often switch between the two.

    I'm with @galactic-geek
    I would never, ever, ever even THINK of using a pirate appearance potion. I've been playing as my pirate since the beginning and he's grown on me a lot. Because I realized from the beginning that my pirate is not supposed to look like me or like anyone I know. He is the avatar of me in SoT. Most people, when they play for the first time, lament how ugly their pirate is, but they like them because of X and Y reason. After a while, they don't care anymore, because the pirate is part of them. Personally, I liked just about everything about my pirate. But that gosh darn cataract... He was not perfect! He had the wrong this, or that. Well, that cataract caused me to start wearing eyepatches, and his brilliant hair has not changed shape since the beginning. I don't have complaints anymore.

    I wouldn't want more character slots. But I can see that giving us character slots would increase AC sales. The people that would never change their pirate in a million years might be inclined to buy a character slot so they can have an option of another character while not deleting their original.

    it still saves the old one so that you can pick which pirate you want to use

    I don’t understand this. If you wanna save your old pirate. Why not just keep and save the money?
    Don’t bother with changing yourself if your just gonna go back to the old
