Ship curses.

  • I’ve posted a similar idea before, but I wanted to revisit it with some additional thoughts.

    The effect that the skull of siren song puts on our ships is cool, but the same effect could apply to curses for our ships.

    Defeat 500 phantom ships - Our ships could have a ghostly glow rolling across the deck.

    Defeat 50 of each Meg and our ships can have scars that glow the color of which meg you’ve killed 50 times.

    Destroy 100 siren statues with cannon balls and our ships can have stone embedded in it.

    Destroy 500 gold skeletons with cannon balls and your ship can have gold embedded in it.

    Destroy 500 ocean crawlers to obtain a similar effect as the skull of siren song.

    Destroy 500 shadow skeletons with cannon balls and your ship will have black smoke emitting from it.

    Defeat 100 ashen lords with cannon balls and have lava running down the sides of your ship.

    And more.

    Some of these requirements could be raised or lowered, I just threw numbers out there.

    But adding a bunch of ship curses that are challenging to unlock will give us a lot to work towards, the repetitive loop of the game can get boring without a goal to work towards and this to me sounds perfect as long as the challenges are hard and requires a lot of time, some could be easier, but we need some really tough ones to obtain.

  • so basically you want to give ships a “ curse” cosmetic slot, just like the players have one? That sounds pretty cool actually, I’d love to see this happen in-game. It’ll show off another level of skill and experience a player has

  • I have always been a huge fan of this idea. I think ships absolutely SHOULD have a curse cosmetic slot just like individual pirates do.

    There are plenty of awesome effects that certain figureheads add to a ship when equipped, such as glowing lights, rainbows, flowing gold pieces or mist. Shouldn't be too hard to add that to the rest of the ship parts as well, right?

  • @thegrimpreacher I like the idea as well. I think the curses slot could unlock after you've hit "Legendary" on each banner, and then accomplish the goal to unlock the curse.

  • Poll:

    • Would you rather have ship curses in a year locked behind commendations?

    Or

    • Would you rather have ship curses today, but all only available in the emporium?
  • Really awesome idea! I love it!!! I don't care what it would take to grind the achievement, if I love it, I'm going for it!!

  • @olde-grim-jack said in Ship curses.:

    Poll:

    Or

    • Would you rather have ship curses today, but all only available in the emporium?

    They can do both.

  • really cool idea another one might be similar to the dutchman from potc where your ship develops barnacles other sea life all over the hull

  • @tek-lt Rare! Do it now!

  • Great idea, especially if the curses aren't too in your face so that every ship doesn't start looking the same with the same curse applied. You could have colour/intensity variants too, maybe some cool ones that are hard to unlock, and some cool ones in the emporium.

  • That really is a great idea
