The world events we have now are fun and exciting, and always are enjoyable. Defending your ship from boarding players is always an exciting challenge however I have had an idea for a couple of years which I have now decided to share.
My idea mixes in the concept of a boarding crew but in a PvE element. Similar to the Kraken event, the ship will begin to slow down with the water becoming bright and vibrant, as if coral has grown to grab a hold of the ship. Suddenly, coral skeletons (which we already see in siren shrines), begin to climb aboard the ship and begin to attack the player. These skeletons will grab any loot onboard your ship and try to jump off with it. (This would be a good way to incorporate why siren shrines have skeletons in them with lots of loot) The players onboard must survive the waves of the boarding skeletons before encountering a strong skeleton captain they must defeat. This captain will drop a special coral skull which can be sold to Order of the Souls for a large bounty. Similar to megalodons, there could be varying difficulties and rarity's of coral skeletons which will board.
I think this idea would be fun as it will encourage players to defend their loot not just from other players, but from skeletons who want revenge for the plunder pirates have stolen. Imaging fighting off a hoard of boarding skeletons which climb up your ship, especially on a galleon, and fighting them off on several levels of your ship.
Another idea I have is for the next stage of the Legend of the Veil quest. When you complete the Legend of the Veil, the pirate lord states that you may need to use the veil one day in another Quest. I enjoy the interesting concept of Legend of the Veil, such as the final stage (I wont spoil it). The next quest could involve the player teaming up with Ghost ships which are crewed by the Ancients, similar to how in the Pirates Life tall tales where you go after Davy Jones' fleet. You have to fight the Servants ghosts ship until you get to his flag ship. When you destroy the flagship at the end, you get a new special item; "The Servants Flag Emissary". Similar to a player Emissary, they can be sold for rep and coin. This idea could also be incorporated for the final ships in which appear in Skeleton Fleets; the skeleton galleon drops a "Skeleton Emissary", or when fighting Flameheart's flag ship on Haunted Islands. which can be sold to an appropriate trader (Order of the Souls for Example). These specific items would show to other crews and players that they have defeated that specific event, and could also bring additional commendations the player can work towards.
Feel free to add onto these ideas and give any insights on what you think about this.
