Ship customization is by far the biggest thing that drew me into the game so I won't rant about how little there is and I'll trust that what was shown and promised is still delivered (cosmetics shown in trailers, it was said there would alos be customization for the kapstan, helm, cannons, etc.). But anyway the point of this post is I think considering how hard it is to become a legendary pirate, there should be something that REALLY gives away a legendary ship. And I don't just mean cosmetics that can only be purchased after becoming a legendary pirate like a new colour of sails, I mean changes to the MODEL, not just the texture. For instance, a different shape and/or size of the flag, wider sails (such as in ac4 black flag with the extra sail at each end), perhaps a higher backside to give it prestige, cannon availability on the mid deck (since you would still have only 4 people so there's still only a maximum of 4 cannons going off, and before anyone says it I know this would put other ships at a disadvantage because those cannons can aim lower more easily but first of all that means they have a much smaller sightlines and smaller turn radius, plus if they're boarded they're less prepared but I know it's still an advantage and what I have to say to that is that it's a legendary ship.. They SHOULD have an advantage.) My ideas here reflect my desire for legendary ships to be rightfully LEGENDARY. As in, when you look out with your spyglass and see a legendary ship it shouldn't look like any old galleon or sloop, it should be like "OH F**K THAT'S A LEGENDARY SHIP LET'S NOT TANGLE WITH THEM" They should make people's heartrate jump when they see them, legendary ships should be something you see and are especially intimidated by. Also I heard that as a legendary pirate you can name your ship? This is a really cool idea and much needed so could anyone confirm that?
Legendary Ship Identification
Legendary ships shouldn't have an advantage it goes against all the balancing in the game and that is players with higher skill not level will come out on top, this throws that to the side and then some. If you want an advantage over players learn how to play skillfully but the game isn't going to let you always have win everytime you and your buddies spot a lone sloop in the distance the random chance in this game is what makes it enjoyable.
@wraith-04 Legendary Pirat doesn't mean he's invincible or something better. Could be, he never even sunk another ship...
@schwammlgott that's true too, but I still think therr should be reward for how diffcult it is to become a legendary pirate. I mean technically a legendary pirate who's extremely good at the game could play with some of his other friends who suck and it would be a similar situation. However you have got me thinking. It's tediously long getting to pirate legend, but at the same time it's really only a matter of time spent playing the game when it comes down to it, which is to say everyone would eventually be a legendary pirate and have their own legendary ship so I see the point there. Perhaps they could have another rank type system not the same as becoming a pirate legend that's more based on skill rather than time spent, that way only better players will need up with a legendary ship and everyone and their mother won't have one. On the one hand that would mean me and my crew might not be skilled enough to qualify for a legendary ship which would suck cause obviously through this point I'd still want one, but I'd be happy even seeing other people more skilled with one
@dread1217 Well yeah, I see your point, I suppose having an actual advantage could be unfair, but I still think legendary ships should be very easily identifiable and have that intimidation effect at the least
@ghostwolfviking Well obviously there'd still be people that would see the ship and attack it but it would make it seem more epic than any other fight with another galleon and it might make some people think twice. Also I don't really understand why everyone hates this dude for being the first pirate legend he didn't cheat he just played a tonne with his friends
Wouldn't it be great when you achieve your legendary pirate status.
You earn your legendary ship and it would be a 'man of war' size ship. It could man a crew of 6. (maybe even 8 man crew)
Think of it as an extra event when it sails out! And it would be an honnor to be invited to the legendary crew by the legendary pirate captain himself!
Link quests to it aswell for the legendary crew as for normal crew to bring it down.
A great way to get more natural events in the world!@wraith-04
Jumping between crews and servers and turning in loot when you did nothing to help on the voyages.Sounds like a legit pirate to me. 😄
For the the players that did all the work to get him there, those are the true pirate legends. 🍺
I'll attack any ship that wants to fight.
I don't care if it has unicorns and vomits rainbows from the cannons.
I won't be ''intimated'' by the look of a ship.
Just give me the option to have a ghost ship after I reach pirate legend and ghost appearance for my pirate.@boldgame That also sounds really cool, and considering that it would be cool if the game tried to place only 1 legendary ship in each server so it wouldn't be too overpowered but you'd know there's a legendary ship in your server, oh I just had a good idea, what if there was a loud a*s horn on the ship, other ships would just hear this powerful deep horn go off and see this massive ship coming right at them.
@ghostwolfviking Well I don't mean for it to be so intimidating that it wards off every ship there will still be people who attack them I'm just saying there will also be ships that look over and see them coming, going ohhhhh s**t.
Also I have a new reason for thinking legendary ships should have an advantage on other ships, and it's because the loot that they can get (ancient chests and whatnot which us only available through legendary voyages) will be hunted down. If people see a legendary ship the intimidation factor should be there but at the same time there's gonna be people who see it and think of the possible legendary loot on there so that ship's also gonna be a target from multiple other ones
