Hello, i would like to tell you the Opinion of myself, and my friends of the Skeleton Curse in here, But also a suggestion that us 5 all think would be great, And i would just like to see if the rest of the community agrees. ( This could be a very long message i will try to seperate with ovbious gaps between texts )
--The Model--
The Skeleton Curse Model that we currently have, is of course Ok. But have you also noticed, that most Players that put on the Skelly curse, have like.. Weird noses?
For example one of my friends and many people i saw on youtube, have noses that dont match the usual nose of a skeleton at all. Like for example, the NPC skellys in the game, have like an upside down V nose and its like thin u know. But Most player noses are either an upside down U, or either very long and thin or wide and yea, it looks rather Funny or Ridiculous ( Im german idk most words so good sorry ) and Jaws, the skull, or the eyes can look in a way that people dont want to use the curse cause they look Weird instead of angry or intimedating wich the Skellys are ,,supposed'' to be in our opinion at least.
So,
Our suggestion for this would be, just a simple Optional Item to purchase at the Bonesmith. A NPC skeleton Model. With that we mean, the model that practicly allmost ALL NPC skeletons if the game have. Do you guys remember the glitch where you were a white / green Skeleton to other players? That model i mean. As an Optional purchase, wouldnt that be cool? Cause then people that want to look strong or people that actually want to look the funny way, they can still do that. But people like me and many others i allready asked, could buy the NPC skeleton model, and look angry and evil you know?
--The Animations--
So this is a suggestion that i guess is the least likely to be made. The Standing, walking, and Running animation of a Skeleton Player.
So we all know that the NPC skeletons allways stand, run, and walk kinda hunched over or Curved back ( again idk the correct word ) and when we saw glitches of NPC Skelly captains on skelly ships, where they would sometimes T-Pose and Stand straight / Normal, it allways looked weird.. Now this is not actually something we REALLY need, but I guess it would make us fit more to the other skellys, if even the players Would Stand, walk, and run like the NPC skellys.
Now the reason why its most likely sadly not gonna happen, is of course the hitbox. I dont think i need to explain that further.
Now to my last suggestion, the Death Animation.
So, again we all know that the NPC skellys just fall apart once defeated. But the player skellys just turn slowly into a ghost and just die like before. But i can get that just player skellys falling apart wouldnt be that good cause there needs to be a long animation cause your crewmates are supposed to be able to save you before you vanish.
-
Idea : In one of the old gameplay trailers, There was a Cannon skelly that got shot by one of the crewmates, and then, instead of falling apart like the others, he floated slightly for a bit, and then got dragged into the ground while turning into a ghost quickly. To be exact, it was the video on youtube called ,,Sea of Thieves E3 2017 Gameplay Trailer - Microsoft Xbox Conference'' and the scene with the skeleton that i am talking about was at 3:22.
Back to the idea, wouldnt it be cool if Skelleton players would go to the ferry with THAT animation, but just a way more slow version of it where he gets dragged down slower so that the crew has time to revive? -
idea : Just simply the Normal Falling apart animation, But a bit more like the one of the Skeleton Lords.. Wouldnt it be cool if skelly players once defeated, like Kneel down with one leg and like shake trying to hold back the falling apart. And after the time for the crew to revive ends, he falls apart and finds himself on the Ferry. THAT, would be the best one in my opinion.
Once again, Im sorry for it to be such a long message, But still, I would like to hear if you Agree with our ideas, Or find it total nonsense.
Feel free to tell!
Regards, Blackheart
