What if I want to make a second Pirate? or a third?

If you want to start over, make up a new email, new Xbox account and boom! Alt account!

I wanted a 2nd pirate to see how long it would take to become a pirate legend by just burying loot and posting maps.

I think having multiple pirates makes more sense than having multiple ships, since you can customize them anyway. But with pirates, you could have one that resembles you the most, you can have a 'sweat' skinny pirate, a big fat pirate for laughs etc

Title says it all, I created my Pirate back during the Seabound Soul Update and been with playing with it since. But recently I wanted to create another Pirate and starting all over, while still keeping the previous one if I want to replay him later.

There could be a new button inside the Pirate Profile section where you can make a new Pirate and it would switch progression between one and the other, and would make greater use of the Pirate profile section in the settings than simply 'Delete Pirate'.

If this became a thing, would you make a new Pirate?

I certainly would use this however it means nobody would buy the potion to change your characters appearance in the transaction store so i cant see them ever doing that.

There isnt a developer alive who would do such a thing sadly.

@shadow20642 They could just up the price by a 100 ancient coins and let you have an extra pirate or two (instead of having the appearance potion)

They could but they wont.
Once you have got some limited gear, some gear never to be seen again and a few nice cosmetics you unlocked behind a few months of grinding they know they got you.

You’d happily pay a small fee to change your appearance and the more indecisive you are the better.

Welcome to 2022 gaming where we charge you for stuff that used to be free!

Jokes aside though i see why they need such things to keep the game going but cmon, nobody should be buying stuff with real money just to change their pirate’s gender.

But people will pay it because they are too invested. They need the money to keep it going and well, we need to be happy with our avatar.

This idea is great. It should be a thing. But i just know it will never happen. Because money always comes first.

@shadow20642 I see what you mean, but I never meant that having a 2nd pirate would be like literally having a 2nd account.

The only difference would be is the 'Pirate Milestones' progress. Your secondary or third pirate can access all that you bought since the beginning.

The entire reason people would consider to buy the potions is because they have invested all that time getting the rep they dont want to start over.

I totally approve your idea. I think its great.

But devs probably wont do it if it affects their sales of micro transactions for stuff like appearance changing bottles.

Personally id never buy one. Would rather make an alt account than pay money.

@shadow20642 I don't think this hurts potion sales, for people who don't change appearance like me, we would start using potions with the second character.

Why not just delete the second character and remake it for free keeping your rep?
I.e nobody will buy potions.

Potions would be obsolete.

Potions should be obsolete anyways, shouldnt charge to change appearance anyways.

That would work.
An even better idea though would be to just scrap the whole paying for it and let us do it for free.

@lleorb said in What if I want to make a second Pirate? or a third?:

@shadow20642 Just don't give that option to the second character, just to the main one by removing the reputation, exactly how it works now.

You dont have to convince me.
Its rare you got to convince.

Like i have said multiple times now i like the idea. But developers being developers its unlikely they will implement a feature that impacts their own bottom line.
Its just how it is.
