Yup..
After playing the Demo, and seeing the future of the up in coming game, "Windrose". It only fair to predict if the game is a huge success as it claims to be, Rare will surely look at its building/customiation mechanic and try to copy it. After all they do tend to copy similar stuff from other games such: Season Pass, Fishing, Hourglass/PvP/LMS (shrinking circle).
But the first thing to think about is Where.
The most possible place is Sea of the Damned, why? Because the lore states its a place of memories and is customizable by ones memories. So if you complete certain challenges, like the same way you unlock trinkets for your ship. You can possivbly do the same. Maybe you beat the Skeleton Camps and unlock 'Stone Walls" or defeat the Gold Hoarder # times (again) and unlock his throne :P
Sea of the Damned lonely island, mostly they should choose one of the small/medium islands to use and from there give pirates templates of buildings/blueprints to place around the islands. Those templates/blueprints would be earned or unlocked by your everday challenges/achievements/stories/voyage completions.
Only way to reach your "Pirate Home" would be from the PL hideout, Tavern or simply main menu and load in. Invite players and set sail from there.
It should only be a simple showcase, similar to your ship which you can also pick a Ship of your choosing to dock at the island to show off.
But this only comes down to:
- Windrose's success with its pirate building world.
- Rare even has the time to add another large addon.
Finally, it really down to the wire. Is building a base/fort/home really good for the game in the end? More stuff to unlock to build something you can call home. Or will it be another forgotten tool never to be used once you sweats blast through everything within few weeks xD.
After all, most of you are like me, Solo Slooper....who are you gonna show your base off too? ^_^
