Good day pirates,
i'm fairly new to this forum and only watched videos about the game. As i viewed gameplay i was like, "yeah this game looks awesome", "This would be fun if you roleplay the game" and "the treasure hunting would be fun". But in the other hand i was like "is there something else you can do?", "will there be PvE elements like bosses or something like that?".
After all it is called "Sea of thieves" so i think its mostly PvP. But i was thinking, how can you get BOTH sides happy? Since i like games where you roleplay and like to fight WHEN you roleplay it right. But fighting against some PvE'lers who dont fight against other players at all, its for BOTH sides annoying. The PvE'lers have to get new ship and the PvP'ler get blamed. So, how could you make it that PvE and PvP are both happy?
Many people say "seperate them". Since its the easiest way to make both happy, right? Yeah of course you could do that. But i think thats not the RIGHT way to do it.
My opinion on this is, you shouldnt seperate them. Instead make some quests only PvE but the reward will be less than playing quests in PvP. And i dont mean like only 10% less or something, i mean like more than 60% less. Since when you are doing treasure hunting when you are playing PvE you DONT have the chance to get ripped of from other pirates. You can travel easy as you want.
But while you are traveling in PvE some kraken can attack you. While in PvP you would get some treasure (maybe) when you win against the kraken you get nothing.
PvE means playing "easy" mode. And you arent getting "punished" for it, since it would be unfair to the PvP player. They have more danger than a PvE player.
That would be my first idea about this issue.
The other issue i want to talk about is things you can do in the game. Yeah, fighting against other players is fun. It really is and looks amazing. Finding treasures is also interesting and i actually like the riddles the most.
But after countless of hours getting treasures and fighting other players, what else is it there?
I dont know what you planned for that, Rare, but i think it will be awesome. Since i know your Banjo Kazooie games i have high expactations there and i think i will not be disappointed but i want to listen some ideas i have while thinking about the topic.
Since the world is open and you can travel everywhere, i hope that the world is pre-generated RANDOMLY. If thats the case, you can add MANY things.
Like a treasure in a randomly generated temple. Fighting enemy NPC bases (or even player bases [With a quest one side has to defend the island other side attacks it]). And some other things i have something written down but sadly cant find right now. (Will add those ideas later on)
What i actually also want to see badly is some PvE events while sailing. Like attacked by a kraken (like a little boss battle). Or something different. Since, sometimes the servers can get empty and you dont have anything to do except traveling for treasures and never fight someone. Like small interactions if long time nothing happened.
I also like to see some progression. I think you planned a faction system where can buy new clothes and cosmetic items. But i actually also want to upgrade my ship with more cannons and things like that. Yes, if you start the game everyone should have the same items. Maybe you could add a system where it reads your levels from Items and Ships, count the numbers and then match you on a server where they all have similar stats.
The problem here would be (since i dont know how much player will play this game) it will come to empty servers. So maybe add this later at some point.
An idea where the players could get involved, is placing own treasures after some play time or when they get enough amount of money. That also would be cool and make player interaction possible, even when they dont play in the same server.
Or even, when they have something special achieved, like getting 1000hours in this game, then they can add a "artifact" item in the game or something like that. Like reward those players who achieve something pretty special getting somehow in the game.
Maybe the barkeepers can tell you some storys or something like that.
I like to see some storys behind Islands.
And the last thing i want to mention is:
Will there be some sort of cities in game? I know this game is playing pirate and set sail.
But will there somehow a point, where you can live freely? I would like to see that there will be some Huge huge islands where you can build a home or something like that and you have to defend it or something like that. You dont HAVE to, but you COULD to that.
That would be awesome.
So, that was everything i wanted to discuss right now. Leave your suggestions in the comments down below and we will talk!
I see forward to this game, and i will buy this game on day 1 since i love this game. Its very unique.
ARRRRRRRRR!
