More options for "The Rogue"

    tldr: Give The Rogue Milestone category 1 or 2 more ways to level up or reduce the grind of 60 min = 1 Rank

    It seems weird to me that one of the Milestone Categories is to just be idle;
    I'm currently grinding out The Rogue Milestone category for the Sea Dog cosmetics and while I do understand that this new system has to be a grind I can't belive I'll be spending an hour doing absolutely nothing but sleeping or sitting on a ship for a single milestone point.

    75 Grogs Poured or an Hour of Shanties, Sleeping or Sitting nets you 1 point of Rank.

    Could we please get 1 or 2 more options that are more interactive yet still related like:
    "Skeletons/Phantoms fought while drunk 0/50"
    "Shanties played with other crews 0/5"
    "Ships hit while drunk 0/100"
    "Treasure Donated 0/50"
    "Pirates puked on 0/20"
    or even
    "Deckshots performed 0/2"

    or maybe the time reduced to 30 minutes per Milestone Rank? Thats still 25 straight hours of idle to get a map table skin.

    Agreed. It's really unfortunate the Rogue set is achieved primarily through AFK / very very particular RP stuff that no one can reasonably achieve organically in a sane amount of time.

    At this point just keeping my game open to AFK sleep in my sloop while I do other things around the house because the Rogue set is the best to match my sloop's cosmetics and it's the only practical way for me to progress in the Rogue milestones.

    This is exactly what im doing currently, I'm playing another game while my pirate sleeps on his sloop because I want a cosmetic and my crewmates would not be happy if I was afk for hours.

    I strongly agree with this feedback! All the other Milestones are going up nicely by simply playing the game, but the Rogue ones are a long grind that you actually need to put care into and distracts you from the core gameplay. If for example you would focus on only playing music, that means 50h of playtime just dedicated to it in order to reach level 50. And for just unlocking the ship title it's five hours for Level 5. Obviously you can divide this by completing multiple Milestones but that's still a huge time requirement for each grade.

    I can totally see your options being ingame!

    I agree with all the comments. Afk gaming should not be encouraged in any way and at any time. Otherwise, we are right to wonder where is the gaming industry heading.

    We need another Splashtail Derby.

    I'm actually about to see I'd found fish counts towards that or not.

    The problem here is also that not only do you need 2500 fish, they need to be the same exact kind of fish. So how many fish do you actually need to fish for it. 4000,5000? Hard to tell.

    @izzi-mouse I'm doing the same but I have a hard time not getting hazelnutbeard: I noticed if you alt+tab my pirate will stay sit for about 5 minutes then he gets up, I tried playing other games with a 5 minutes timer to go and sit again but at some point i get kicked. Same with rubberband on controller for shanties, it works for about 30 minutes then i get kicked...
