Feedback: Bottle Rarity Changes Negatively Impact New Player Progression

new players who are still working through that content are now severely disadvantaged.

New players shouldnt focus so hard for these. They should be a "OH I found one!" moment. Like a pirate spending years searching for that grand treasure and finding it.

Also...atm the current Season has made Smuggler bottles the prime bottles. Coral still show up but if you havnt done the Smuggler stuff...your gonna be in the same boat by the end. No smuggler bottles to find and only the other "new" stuff they always ship out during new stuff.

Never give up hope hunting for treasure. It will come to you. (when you stop looking)

True also they should at least make chances for regular bottles higher for those who are still dreaming about chest with fruits and kegs delievery achievements. Another thing is the topic of rowboats, I personally had a break from the game in season 16 and didnt get rowboats commendation, and now the whole season we get only reaper keg rowboat spawns, its just sad to wait another season to complete 2 commendations , cuz these are only 2 im missing from that season :)

They will probably reduce the spawn rate of smugglers message bottles as soon as S17 ends.

@burnbacon go try finding 100keg mission, this thing is like shrouded ghost, you dont know it exist until the "oh i found one!" moment. This is my last commodation after 4K+ hours (was to dum to do merchant quest) and no this is not funny "spending years searching for that grand treasure"...

nah even the bottle i dont look are smuggler one...

We just ask for balance, an update should not take the lead of everything

Hour into game, dropping by 6 islands, 5 small and 1 large.
Found 8 messages in bottles, among those 8, 4 were what you desired. Lucky enough 2 went to the same Shrine, and they were both sitting there.

Oh and might swim around the outer edges, they spawn under the waves, you can see the glint but it often missable if you dont have a eye out for them.

Give players best solution and they dont even bother, this why players suffer in this game so much. Demand change to something that really isn't a problem, they make it so.
Where here I am, sitting on 4 of these bottles, something Im not even looking for....

I have to ask: How is it I am able to find them so easily? Its a mystery in itself that nobody can figure out. Is my game sessions that much luck? or do I find them because as I said, "Im not looking for them" and they just come to me... Modern gamers here kids.

@levorpai even reducing the number for those comodation is not enought, now there is so much quest in bottle, if at least they ad back those delevery as quest, and adding maybe fruit canon ect, it would be simple

I mentioned on another thread, just make a new merchant bottle (reuse the same asset as from the sunken ship merchant quest) and it guarantees those quests. It would be a huge QoL update.

Alternatively, add them back to the animal quests or make it part of something with the quest table.

Or just make it so you have to sell them period and it progresses the commendation / achievement. Considering the quest was not hard at all just luck if you got a bottle quest for it or not.
