I'm noticing that the developers are giving us less and less new titles, like no title associated with Sea Forts other than the second adventure. No new titles for Athena except Vanguard. Reason I bring that up is to say that I don't want a new Legendary Hunter of Sea of Thieves title or commendation to chase. I want to see a Hunter's Call level cap increase plus an emissary flag and I wanted to share a few ideas I had.
You know how the merchants give cages to catch animals? We should get containers to store the new sea creatures I will propose soon lol. I also bring up Sunken Kingdom because I love everything about the shrines and treasuries except that I have not done them since I got Legend of the Sunken Kingdom and I never ever see a boat at a shrine or treasury. I think that because there are 9 shrines and treasuries combined they can be fishing spots that are the only places say, manta rays, seahorses, starfish, lobster, crabs, squid, shrimp and octopus can be caught. My idea is that, for a time, like all new content, this would give a new reason for commendation chasers to go to shrines and treasuries and maybe they'd decide to fish and farm the loot under the sea.
I understand the design decision that was made to make it so the loot mermaid was only accessible by the crew that put the loot in it. I feel like in a game where we're told tools not rules but people are getting banned for spawncamping (sorry had to take that shot as an aside) people shouldn't be forced to do tuck plays to steal the loot. I feel like no one with a brain wants to raise emissary then leave their boat unattended. It would suck to be the person who doesn't get to "play" because they drew lookout duty. That's where I think the fishing over the shrines/treasuries would give more reason for players to park there and leave someone above the water. Giving them an emissary flag would motivate Reapers/sweatlords to investigate that. Giving them containers that are sellable loot items incentivizes fish heists more than before. I can go either way on the loot mermaid but I think that if people knew they could roll on you, sink you and empty the mermaid it would drive more player interaction.
One last idea. What if Hunter's Call had pirate legend exclusive quests where... I've seen a lot of people say they want more emergent sea encounters like a giant whale, a giant crab etc. The recent Shrouded Deep event inspires the idea of using something to summon beasts so you can kill them and get loot. It should be a mixture of high tier Legendary and random loot. Pieces of beast meat like the megs and krakens drop.
I know a lot of players think fishing is boring but I think this idea would make more people go for fish steals and the people who like fishing would have more to do.
