I came up with a few QoL ideas and thought I'd make a suggestion for them. Then I thought I'd go a few pages deeper in the forums to look for some more interesting ideas so I can perhaps add/incorporate them to my suggestion. I ended up with 20+ QoL ideas and thought I'd make a thread combining every single one of them + yours, so Rare has them on a single platter.
Below is the list of all the ideas with short descriptions of each one (in no particular order). Feel free to discuss about any point in the thread. If a decent amount of people are against a certain idea, I will remove it. Same goes for adding new ones... if you have an idea and a good amount of people are for it, I will add it to the list.
1. Outfit (Clothing + Equipment) Presets:
- This has been suggested countless of times and it's pretty self-explanatory;
2. Ship Presets:
- Same as above, but for ships;
3. Single-Colored Ship Hulls:
- Not sure why, but there's literally little to none single-colored hulls. Not everyone wants to rock a 10 different colors with 5 different logos/icons/whatever hull. Here's a neat design of pretty much all the essential colors made by @RealStyli (https://i.imgur.com/waKkyn3.png);
4. Hull Matching Ship Interiors:
- Pretty self-explanatory as well. Have it be the same color both inside and outside;
5. Ship Lanterns/Harpoons Customization:
- Also self-explanatory. Being able to purchase customizations for the ship lanterns and harpoons;
6. Guild Logo Flags/Sails:
- Having flags and sails with the guild's color and logo. Maybe only available to guild owners so they can customize the pledged ship with them (or to everyone in the guild);
7. Guild Announcement Board & Chat:
- An announcement board on which the guild owners and leaders can post useful information regarding the guild or whatever as well as a chat in which the guild members can communicate;
8. Max Pets On Ship:
- Currently the max amount of pets that can be displayed is one per person. Why not make it four per ship? Pet owners can have all/most pets displayed and Rare is most likely gonna make an extra buck. It's a win-win if you ask me;
9. Knowing When Gold Rush Is Active:
- I might be wrong, but I think there's no way of someone knowing that gold rush is even a thing, let alone know when it's active, unless they are in SoT's discord server. So, I say to add some way of letting players know when it is active... I've read on a suggestion somewhere that maybe making the useless clock we all have to shine yellowish/goldish somewhere, maybe at the date;
10. Pirate Creator Filters:
- Being able to filter out certain customizations in the pirate creator such as having only male/female pirates appear or both eyes/one eye, tattoo/no tattoo, scars/no scars, etc;
11. Customizations Preview In Athena's Hideout:
- Literally no way of knowing how the customizations look except for one goofy 2D image. Just make it like it literally in all shops outside the hideout. Same goes for the Reaper's Lair (I have yet to go there and am not sure how it looks, but yeah... in case it's the same...);
12. Swap Eyepatch/Pegleg:
- Being able to switch the side of the eyepatch and pegleg (not the hook, unless Rare is up to making everything from scratch for left-handed pirates);
13. More Customizations:
- Jewelry (rings, earrings...), teeth (missing teeth, golden teeth...), eyes (eye color, white eye...), nails, glasses, masks, scars (smaller scars such as an eye scar which would go with a white eye...), etc;
14. Main Menu Weapon/Equipment Skins:
- Right now, your pirate only has the outfit saved in the main menu and whenever he has a weapon or an equipment in hands it has the default skins. Make it have the one equipped;
15. Fun Activities On Ships:
- Maybe some kind of an activity you and your crew can participate in while sailing the ship, because right now the only thing you can do is drink alcohol, shoot your pets out of the cannons and play "Bosun Bill". Maybe some board games, I don't know;
16. Re-Join After Inactivity:
- Being able to re-join your session for a small period of time after being kicked for inactivity (or at least slightly increase the timer);
17. In-Game Report:
A way to report someone in-game. Might be spammed and what not, but I feel like it would definitely help as well with cheaters. People can't be bothered going to the forums and posting ban reports or whatever the current procedure is;
18. Search Option In Shops/Emporium/Commendations:
- It would be an easier way to find a certain item you are looking for from the shops and/or from the emporium or maybe a certain commendation;
19. Re-Take The SoSS After Canceling It:
- A couple of days ago I had canceled the voyage and very randomly found the skull floating in the water and was unable to return it because I had no idea where Brigsy is. Maybe a way to re-take the voyage or the marker thing/whatever to pop out if you have the skull in your hands;
20. Rarer Pineapples:
- Not really a QoL thing, but I feel like pineapples are very very common for being such OP items. Maybe make them slightly less available;
21. Coin Toss At Port Merrick's Fountain:
- Also not a QoL thing, but I've read this in a suggestion somewhere and was all in for it. A very fun idea. You toss a coin and lose one gold. Commendation could also be added;
22. Pinning Commendations/Milestones To Keep Track:
- Being able to pin a certain commendation/milestone so you can keep track of it, similarly to how you can pin them in a book (this one to be only visible to yourself though, somewhere in the commendations tab perhaps);
Feel free to discuss about any point in the thread and/or make new suggestions. I will be updating this thread by removing disliked suggestions and adding new liked ones.
