Ahoy! So today I unlocked and wanted to try out some of the Gold Seeker nameplates for my ship, the King of Crimson. She’s red and yellow and is comprised of my favorite matching cosmetics that I’ve managed to scrounge together.
Originally, I was going to use the Feared nameplates but after seeing every single ship on the seas using them, It’s sort of making me reluctant to use them, as much as I like them. I want to be different from the crowd!
So, in my effort to find a nice nameplate that isn’t just an emporium one, I noticed the Gold Seeker line of goodies seem to have a recurring theme of a reddish purple with yellow and gold. I thought, “Hey! That’ll go great! One of them even has a crown to match with the King part of the name!”
And then I equipped it. For some odd reason, the Gold Seeker nameplates are on a very ugly, dingy, dirty dark brown backboard, and the red and gold parts (the Gold Seeker’s entire color scheme) are only on the icon plate of the crest. They look… awful to be honest. I understand Rare wants to push the emporium and all, but you shouldn’t make the earnable nameplates look weathered and worn… the default nameplate looks prettier than the gold seeker one at this point. I’m very dissatisfied with it.
Anyone else feeling similar gripes?
