@sn0kanon said in Season7 is trash... Because of skull & bones?:
@wolfmanbush Totally agree and am surprised at the direction that was taken followed by the "shut up and eat it" approach taken here in response to what are very legitimate issues in a game where progression is 100% "what did you do".
Captaincy very much has some teething problems, which is expected given it's social impact on the game which could never be tested, but hopefully a civil and respectful feedback loop with both Rare and community participating can produce some satisfactory results. Or we can all just keep playing as before but with named ships, better voyage selection, and loot sales cheesing and ignore the new progression system and trinkets.
If an adventurer that has been out there for 2, 3, or 4 years and has done many many things looks in their captain's log and sees that they sunk thousands of ships and encountered hundreds of megs and killed 50 krakens and did 75 fotd's and other stats a lot of this goes away
if people look at the requirements and think "well that's gonna take a while but it's reasonable, I'll grind it out" a lot of this goes away
This is no way harms their intent which is to create more long term activity.
The more everything matters and is documented the higher quality the immersion is. Many people will become motivated to sail once again if a lot of what they have done has become documented. Not many want to become a leaf in the wind, they want a legacy, they want to be remembered, they want their story shared so it lives on after them.
Deliver on this and longevity blossoms
