Ways to give use to old content

@acnologia1403

Stopped reading after the first point. Those who double gun would be at a severe disadvantage. Horrible idea.

Ammo: This is monumentally stupid. 50 shots and you run out? So basically I just have to count 50 shots and when they're done I can shoot my opponent all I want and they can't fight back. Also how does that affect the armoury? When you take out a weapon from the armoury it has full ammo. Would you take the weapon out empty and then have to use the ammo box for it? That's stupid, and would ruin gameplay for anyone who uses guns. As a sword user, I can easily dodge and survive for 50 shots, and then my sword has infinite ammo.

Kegs: What's the point of a keg if its not full? Why do you want to add more mechanics to something that doesn't need more mechanics? Nobody is grabbing kegs for any reason other than to blow someone up.

Rum Bottles and Grog: What does this accomplish? No for real, what does it accomplish in terms of gameplay? Why do I care if my ship has a specific type of fake alcohol to get fake drunk on? It would just be a different label to do the same effect. It's also adding more useless gameplay for no reason. Who cares about making messages in a bottle? Cargo runs are one of the least done things in the entire game.

Skeleton Curse: They will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever put hourglass cosmetics behind a paywall. Imagine you pay for it and realise that you now need to spend 50+ hours playing a game mode to even be allowed to use your new cosmetic. No one wants that. There is only one ferry of the damned, the ferry is not a "good guy" boat, there is no equivalent for flameheart in the sea of the damned.

1000HG: No. Rare changed a sail because people could see too much with it and it wasn't fair to lock being able to see slightly better behind PL and 8 million gold. They will not add a game mechanic locked behind 500+ hours of hard grinding. What would even be the point of adding that? How many players would even get to use it? A couple hundred at most? Pointless mechanic. As well, what is the athena equivalent? They cannot give one Hourglass faction something without giving an equivalent to the other. If they added skeleton lordship, it would have to be accessible by all players, no matter what. From day 1s to first dayers.

So um... let's recap this, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not 😂):

1. "I'm mainly a sword player so I want gunners nerfed."
2. "I got kegged way too often and sunk cause of that, so I'd like the frequency of that happening nerfed as well."
3. "I find Merchants voyages boring and/or tedious, so I'd like to progress commendations outside of them."
4. Something something "I want an advantage of having bonus perks/special treatment only available to us who do PvP" something something

In any way... i'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

Means NO.

@r3vanns most of this stuff is more of immersive and because a I want more of a challenge and a reason to use guns I find guns to Op and have no reason to use them.
Surprisingly I rarely deal with kegs except with skeletons most kegs I end up burying but I would love the ability to just make my own kegs
Why is every update have to be fighting why can't there be just a way to have Variety in a calmer Style. Besides kind of gets annoying seeing all those kind of rum and not being able to use them that's kind of the main point on that one
The last one was mostly not really a serious idea but it would be interesting seeing some skeleton Lords as for the skeleton Cosmetics that are in Pirate Emporium I just want the ability to be able to use them while I'm also in the skeleton curse that way I can use the skeleton emojis in those costumes they can be used out and in

@potatosord okay 50 might be a bit low I admit maybe 500.
As for the rum The Message in a Bottle thing would be just for fun as for the variety of rum Maybe different rum has a different effect like say drinking Devil's rum would make it to where you start spitting fire for about 10 seconds maybe five. Why wouldn't there be risk you still have to carry one of the most deadliest explosives that's coming to the game in order to fill them. if anything you're at higher risk. Besides it wouldn't remove the possibility of finding them naturally like already filled it's just adds a new way of getting kegs for those that want a more immersive playthrough

Even though I may still not agree with, or just find some of the suggestions in the realm of "whatever" (or not seeing point in some of them), I do appreciate your effort of explaining your points in more detail, while not making drama about me being a bit sarcastic. 😅

Genuinely pleasantly surprised here, so yea, cheers for that.

Now regarding suggestions - I can at least agree with the role play aspect of rum. I wouldn't mind having a second type of drink (rum), even if only for immersion reasons.

Though if you wanna include a mechanic such as one you've suggested, it would need to make sense in terms of some sort of benefit, which might be hard to figure out in an already pretty well balanced game, and because Rum is already in the game.

The reason why I'm saying this, is because grog is free, and infinite. So you'd either have to make Rum free and infinite as well (not gonna happen, cuz Rum already being a part of merchant voyages), or you'd have to give me an incentive of drinking the Rum (which results in it's lowered cost per bottle as you've suggested) while somehow still maintaining balance in the game, in the terms of price cut vs buff

Hmmmm... maybe some special type of Rum that gives you short amount of water breathing? I could make my peace with something like that.

@r3vanns honestly one of the only reasons I would want Limited on the rum is so I can say "why is the rum gone"

HAH! Fair enough 😂 appreciating the honesty

Just add “wet ammo” for those deep sea divers who stay in the water to long trying to board.

Wet ammo will still hurt (kill weak targets) but not enough. Having to use ammo crate/box to clean it up.
And if someone throws a bucket of water on a pirate, while they have a gun weapon. Instant wet ammo. (I just like to see the bucket used more than for bailing)

@burnbacon I like this idea
