new frost area/region idea

  • hello, just a heads up, this is my first suggestion, so please be patient with me.

    i was informed by a friend that the white/snow colored fox mentioned a "frost region", but i dont believe it ever got fully explored. i wanted to make a suggestion regarding that.

    it would be called "the fallen glaciers", which would be the frost region the snow colored fox is mentioning. it would have several different islands, some bigger than others, but all would be snow/ice covered. there would be 2 new mechanics regarding both the fallen glaciers and the devils roar.

    1. a temperature mechanic that makes it where you have to stay warm in the fallen glaciers by using cooked meat and fire related items, like a new campfire. and cooling off in the devils roar by use of chilled items, which can be found in the fallen glaciers.
    2. a hydration mechanic that makes it where you have to stay hydrated in a lot of the regions, some more than others.

    it would also have a new kind of island based hazard in the game, an avalanche hazard. similar to how the volcanoes erupt in the devils roar, there would occasionally be an avalanche on each of the islands that would sweep away any players, and deal damage unless they can get out of the way and get back to their ship. their ship would also take damage if its caught in the path of the avalanche, while the capstan, masts/sails, and wheel being temporarily frozen, acting as if it was broken.

    there would be new outpost called "Glacier's Remnant Outpost", which would be crucial for a new kind of tall tale listed later in this suggestion.

    it would also have a new kind of skeleton, a "blizzard skeleton". it would be mostly made of ice, and would need to be thawed out a little to take damage. and a few new kind of events/bosses along with them.

    1. is the "Blizzard Winds", which is similar to an ashen winds event, but the "blizzard lord" would have the abilities along the lines of the fallen glacier's, which are exclusive to that region.
    2. a new "blizzard Fleet", which would be exactly like a skeleton fleet, but would be exclusive to the fallen glaciers, and would have a new kind of cannonball, a "frostball", which would temporarily freeze the player's ship in place.
    3. a new fort event called a "fort of frosty fortune", which would be parallel to the fort of fortune with a "blizzard lord" as the main boss.

    it would have a new kind of fish called "icyfish" which are exclusive to this specific region in the following variants

    1. the "frost icyfish"(light blue)
    2. the "arctic icyfish"(light blue and white)
    3. the "polar icyfish"(white and medium blue)
    4. the "aurora icyfish"(northern lights colors), which would be exclusive at night.
    5. the "snow white icyfish"(completely white), which is the rarest kind

    it would have new obtainable treasure found throughout the island, and by gold hoarders quests acquired near or in this region, chilled Treasure, which would be sold for about the same price as ashen treasure.

    it would also introduce a new animal to both the devils roar, and the fallen glaciers, both would have merchant alliance quests regarding finding them.

    the devils roar would have a new kind of animal, Salamanders. which would set the player on fire if held in a crate for too long.
    and the fallen glacier would have a new kind of animal, Penguins. which would temporarily freeze the player if held in a crate for too long

    it would also have a new kind of order of souls quests, to find blizzard skeleton captains and bounties of the sort, which would drop blizzard variants of the types of skeleton skulls

    there would also be a new kind of special chest, a "chest of hatred". it would keep getting colder and colder unless someone was with it nonstop, holding a lantern to "keep it company" so to speak, and eventually, it will cause an icy explosion. not only would that freeze the ship for about a minute, but it would also put 4-6 holes in your ship at once, almost guaranteeing the ship to sink. it would be worth more than the chest of rage, chest of sorrows, and chest of a thousand grogs

    it would also have a new kind of encounter in the game, the "leviathan", which would look similar to this image, having combined abilities based around the megalodon and kraken, and would have 3-5 variations, similar to the megalodon

    leviathan

    and finally, the three new tall tales. it would be related to getting pendragon out of the painting and facing off against flameheart for the first time.

    1. the players would have to find the map to get to the hidden chamber holding the painting, which would be kept somewhere in the fallen glaciers with pieces of the map kept by blizzard lords.
    2. the players would have to find the key hidden somewhere along the map, which would be a special medallion separated into pieces, each kept by a ghost fleet of some kind.
    3. the players would have to infiltrate the location and rescue pendragon, while facing off against flameheart himself for the first time.

    i think this would be a really cool introduction to sea of thieves and would make the game more livelier.

  • this is my first suggestion, so please be patient with me.

    I am. Patient.
    Just a heads up, this idea has been asked for many times and atm. 1) can’t be done
    2) not possible due to lore

  • I have to admit that I scanned through your post as it was too long to read. However, if I’m right, you’re asking for a polar/ice region?

    I would say that won’t be done. SoT is set in the Caribbean.

  • i figured it most likely wont happen. but i thought i would ask anyway since i noticed that the snow fox hinted at something similar

  • it says something like "have you visited the ice region" when you search up the snow fox in the pirate emporium, which is why i asked

  • @cobaltwolf9740 yeah this game is in the Caribbean. A frost area wouldn't make much sense.

  • @captain-coel alright. i thought i would ask.

    since this is in the carribean, what kinds of ideas would be a nice introduction to the game and would fit into the lore well, if you had to give your honest opinion?

  • @cobaltwolf9740 I would add to the existing islands. New enemies, like boars or cats. I would love to see emergent shipwrecks wash up on beaches.

  • @cobaltwolf9740 said in new frost area/region idea:

    i figured it most likely wont happen. but i thought i would ask anyway since i noticed that the snow fox hinted at something similar

    I love how many people see flavor texts as clear teasers. They are mostly jokes and easter eggs.

    That fox flavor text is a joke about the playerbase constantly wanting a snow region.

  • I want a candy island where everything is made of candy. 😋

  • Adding it to the current map may be unlikely but thanks to the existence of portals the possibility does exist. We would just need to get second playable map at different part of the world with its own outposts and stuff.
