In Game Founder badges

  • Hey everyone! I was just thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if in the completed game founders had a badge next to their name or maybe a ship insignia so we could recognise fellow alpha players/newbies can know your an experienced player who can show them your ways/blow out the water if they cross you. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

  • A special hat would be nice to

  • @saracens-lament I quite like the idea of something next to your Gamertag in-game somewhere, not everyone visits the forum to see what people statuses are. Maybe the badges could fit quite nicely next to the names.

  • I believe in game titles are one of the achievements already yeah? Or am I wrong?

  • @haze-grey We believe in game titles, earnt through progression will be in the game. This was mentioned in one of the podcasts a while back. However, showing Founder status was not mentioned to be one of these statuses.

  • @musicmee oh I see. Perhaps it still will. Unless they are wanting to strictly stick to the feeling that all players in game are equal minus different earnable achievements. Maybe they are trying to keep unearnable things out of the actual game itself. Although those of us that pre ordered will have some fancy clothing unavailable to those that didn’t.. unless of course other players can eventually earn it later in game? Although a lot of us did pay to get that clothing lol... and beta access of course.

    Anyway this is all speculation.

  • Think its an "All players are equal, But this player looks prettier" kind of thing.

  • @its-s****. I can't help being the prettiest pirate. It's just a curse I learn to accept. ;)

  • @its-s****. @Wargrym

  • @Wargrym @Musicmee Yarr! So pretty we be. 😂

  • @musicmee yeh that’s exactly what I was thinking. Maybe even something like only founders can have the founder symbol on their sails. That way you can spot a fellow alpha player on the horizon.

  • Or the ability to house the Symbol in your flag?

  • @its-s****. Yeh a Founder symbol incorporated into your flag is another idea I could get behind. Good one 😊

  • @saracens-lament I agree, something in game would be cool....a hat, or a parrot or monkey on your shoulder...something really exclusive

  • Even if it was a 'Cabin Boy' outfit.

  • @its-s****. Maybe the founders should get a little costume where they are totally naked except for an empty wooden barrel around them held up by a pair of suspenders... since they ran up that tab on excessive grog consumption in alpha!

  • @haze-grey Like a 'Back to basics' idea where your character is wearing just a barrel, a little like the "Pop up Pirate" game?

    Pop-up Pirate

  • @its-s****. There’s one of those grog soaked founders stumbling about in their barrel again.

  • I don't need nothing too flashy, a little black skull next to my gamertag would suit me just fine...don't want to be scaring off the quarry with a big scary sail

  • Eye quite agree with the founder's hat.
    A hat in the shape of a flounder, or cat!
    With a fabled sail-cat's tail adorned upon that.
    Or even a four-cornered founder's
    forum-reader hat!

  • Would be pretty cool if founders could get a gold sword with rubies on it or something cosmetic for your character that shows your an alpha player or an awesome looking ship with flags that show your a founder.

  • @ghostelite90 Please, not only founders. At least also Pioneers so I have a tiny chance to get one, too

  • @jcmdeadpool sorry I forgot to mention that too :) hopefully we get something nice but we have to wait and see what happens down the line.

  • Smething like this when we all meet?

  • @saracens-lament Great idea!

  • When your pirate passes out drunk, the bartender draws the Founder symbol on your forehead.

  • I thoroughly agree to this! Also looking forward to seeing what the "founder suprise" is they mentioned today!
