Legend of the Veil

They should add the rest of The Damned stuff for the new seaforts, it would make sense with all the phantoms there and would give an actual reason to do them, i agree with the rest though, new shanties are always welcome, hopefully they will atleast add some actual pl cosmetics to this voyage or the extra 10 levels cuz the ancient stuff feels underwhelming, out of place and is yet again an incomplete set. Doubt they will though add more though, the emporium sure is their priority cosmetic wise.

True, but in practice, players don't grind because the grind is fun, they grind because they want a certain reward. Once the voyage stops being fun for those players, unless they are grinders, they're not going to play it anymore.
The voyage does have a lot of staying power, but only time will tell if it's more enticing than the A20 update... that had a big Athena update too, with better rewards (though bad replayability).

Considering the lore tie-in that the new voyage has, I could see Athena's Fortune having more lore tie-ins in the future that make the company more interesting and more rewarding, but no one knows what Rare is planning.

The voyage is absolutely amazing.

But yes the rewards definitely felt like a load of cosmetics just cobbled together.

The Ancients shipset and stuff should be rewarded for the Voyage itself.

We should have gotten a new Athena set, with the Green and purple theme for a level 30 reward and not just another stupid costume

Its like during the joke that was pirate legend week (weekend rare, END) double rep and gold as well as rep when selling various loot to other trade companies. Well I have been athena 20 for a long time. Got renown 100 in the first 2 weeks of the season.

I agree, what's the point of some events, but I did get a cool eyepatch. That event was more to help non A20 players to get some rep before the cap increase.

Also loved how in the trailer they didnt show the loot because its a few little trinkets, 1 athena chest, hidden behind a bunch of garbage ghost loot that we have been getting awarded since ghost ships were added

Yeah, it isn't a lot of loot, but you don't have to spend much time, either. Beforehand, if you were serious about doing AF, you'd have to 2 Athena Runs (in most cases, sometimes you get enough PvE to get 5) and then you were grade 5 and could do the emissary quest strategy. It was like a 2 hour buy-in for grade 5 and then 1-2 hours of emissary questing. Now you can just hop in for an hour and do a whole voyage. the loot is scarce, but they made sure it was balanced for the time spent, so I'm fine with it. There's no need to make A1-20 extremely easy.

I too am loving this new voyage.
Only bad parts about the loot thus far for myself are the consistent disappearance of loot items during the final part of the voyage.
Like don't sell the new skulls you get before putting in the last masks gem else yoink the mask goes bye bye.
Also don't finish the voyage by putting the last gem in the mask with any Athena loot in a chest else yoink that all goes bye bye too.
Aside from that it's amazing.

Thought i was going crazy or something, geuss i’m not the only one with loot disappearing.

I like the story of the new voyage and what you have to do to finish the quest.. How ever being hunted by everyone else on the server while trying to finish the last fight is total buzz kill.. I have yet to finish to the last part of the voyage because everyone else just being out for themselves.

@killzone1401 I found last night that if your crew is holding the loot it doesn't disappear

@tenkaar
Personally I haven't had anyone attack me during the voyage. I had 2 Reapers on my server yesterday and I guess they didn't see the tornado, because they never came for us.

The LotV commendations are what I'm going for, but it's probably a great time to do FoF honestly.
