THOUGHTS FOR EXTRA CONTENT - The great list of extra content i think would add tons of fun to otherwise Epic game! **UPVOTE**

    I propose some implementations of Magic Summoning Relics found on the Map (Very Rare) and a Thieves "Capital" and a bunch of other stuff.

    SUMMONING RELICS

    Different Summoning Relics could be:

    1. Golden Swordfish Bill (with inscriptions)

    • Can be thrown as a Spear at enemy ship for activation and targeting.

    • Once activated, summons a school of Swordfish which attacks enemy ship for an amount of time.

    2. Emerald Shark Tooth

    • Summons Sharks in the vicinity of any nearby enemy ships for a certain amount of time.

    • Attacks enemies in the vicinity, shrouds caster and crew with an aura making them Immune at the time.

    3. Silver Dolphin Statue

    • Once activated, makes high pitched dolphin calling.

    • Summons group of Dolphins for transporting character in emergency situations (unsure to where yet).

    4. Kraken's Conch (Extremely Rare)

    • Summons Kraken (need i say more?)
      (a little bit unsure about this one though)

    Once activated, the relics vanish.

    There could also be an option of selling the Relics for big gold rewards instead of activating them.

    THIEVES MAIN CAPITAL:
    I also suggest adding a main "capital" in the map. As a big "city" with wandering NPC's and different bars with table-games and so on. A "Thieves Paradise".

    Maybe daily quest vendor and some sort of "Special Item Shop".

    HANDHELD "CANNONBALL NADES"

    I really hope they will implement the classic "Cannonball with a fuse" as an extra addition to the existing weapons.

    Of course the blast radius would be way smaller than the Gunpowder barrel, but would be fun if players crashing ships together could sneak an unexpected lit bomb on the deck..

    GRAPPLING HOOKS

    • Ropes, swingable with a hook in the other end.

    Would be lots of fun if you could use a type of "Grappling Hook" to climb up onto ridges above.

    Or throw the hook onto an enemy ship.

    Also, if you were to latch the hook onto an enemy ship and drift in the water behind the boat hanging onto the rope.
    The enemy players onboard would have the ability to either cut the rope or just dislodge it.

    MAELSTROMS

    • Ocurrs just as random as The Kraken (would be cool if the spawn in the middle of two or more ships battling)
    • If one of the ships gets swallowed by the maelstrom, it dissapates.

    WORLD MONSTERS

    • Megalodon
    • Giant Seaworm (The Midgard Serpent)?
    • Sirens (Tries to pull the ships toward rocks with "visible sound" acting as magnets in the game)
    • Giant Ancient Sea-Turtle (Friendly Reward-giving purpose)?
    • Whales? (Moby D**k perhaps)

    EXTRA NPCS

    An addition of interactive NPCs placed around on different islands would also create an extra feeling of "randomness" and exploring.

    They could be everything from Ghosts to Talking chickens giving rare Voyages for example.

    Or giving random rewards for finding them there and then.

    Ima all for interesting Relics or Artifacts that add something humorous to the game...
    But to make it fair and balanced they would need to only last the current session. (No Hoarding)

    @rgbknights my thought exactly! Slippery slope to OP annoying hoarders.. They would have to make the mechanic really balanced and carefully put together 😄

  • KeepitLowkee

    I agree with your whole post but I like most and hope they do implement is more npc interaction leading to more unique voyages. Not just the run of the mill kill these skeletons, find these chests, capture these animals etc..

  • PsycothicParrot

    Great ideas, I particularly hope they add some sort of capital like you said with NPCs and things. Would be nice with an island that feels a bit more alive and where you can properly relax and just walk around. Also love the idea of NPCs around in the open world.

    @psycothicparrot Thx bro! Right, it would make it so much more alive and a bit more flowing 😊 Still love the game to death though! And it has soooo much potential!

  • AngryCoconut16

    @icyacidburn92 Good ideas! Interesting idea summoning lots of sea life. Some things I'd like to add:

    I don't like the idea of the kraken giving loot and chests/gold, I think the kraken should be seen as a formidable obstacle and something to fear. I think players should receive a trophy, or ship head, to show they have killed it (and this trophy can get bigger and better when they kill it a certain number of times eg. 10, 25, 50, 100...) but I think the kraken should be seen more like the storm, something to avoid, be fearful of, be scared of.. it has a mind of its own it isn't just a boss which you can grind for gold. (oh and I hope they change it a little bit to make it scarier, give it a head under the water etc etc)

    Other big bosses can give gold/loot but I like the 'autonomous' feel of the kraken :) It can't be hunted, it does what it wants to do.

    I would also like to see some sort of crafting system.. whether with cooking, or a new iron monger NPC and making new cannon balls for your ship, it wouldn't be unbalanced because everyone could have the option but it would add more longevity and more 'aims' to the game..

    MAELSTROM YES PLEASE! And FOG! Mist banks, clouds of mist.

    Talking chickens would be so funny. Or a slimy snake which sounds like severus snape :P

    @angrycoconut16 Thx bro! And wow! Your ideas about the crafting and thoughts about kraken are sooo nice!!!

    My thoughts about Kraken as well ;)
    Can't believe how people complain so much about not receiving treasure after killing him..

  • AngryCoconut16

    @icyacidburn92 Ohh! It's nice that you agree with my kraken idea! I think a lot of people get upset they don't get loads of gold, but it's like.. it's the KRAKEN, it's a formidable mythological beast, it won't give you gold! Fighting it should be a challenge to survive, and killing it should be a feat worthy of unique treasure (e.g. unique cosmetics, unique trophy) but no gold and random chests.. leave that for the other, LESS WORTHY boss's haha :)

    I agree. A Kraken does not float around carrying hoards of gold with it, or a fancy costume. But then there is this pesky thing called repuatation...should defeating the Kraken award that? Which category would it go under? The merchant's alliance? Gold Hoarders? Order of Souls? hmmmm...seems like the system is a little borked, just sayin'.

    Might be under Order of Souls maybe? Or a totally new alliance for Monsters if they were to implement some different bosses and functions maybe?

    @icyacidburn92 Sure possibly. The point is what is "Reputation". Experience Points right? So, it is kind of lame that someone can defeat a Kraken, and get....nothing. Turn in a couple chickens and a pig, level up! Very pirate like. I mean all the pirates I have ever read about, (Blackbeard, Avery, Roberts, Rackham) thats how they became legendary, pigs and chickens. They really need to change the awards system.

    K, i might agree on that... It actually struck me the other day when i was plowing down a million skellys, and no type of XP after felt a bit let down in a way :) But they might implement a b****r system for it in the future 😄

  • AngryCoconut16

    @touchdown1504 Reputation, that's an interesting one. I suppose it could come under order of souls... but then again I'm not a massive fan of there being a 'quest' to kill the kraken... maybe just a piece of something like a kraken tooth, if you hand that in to order of souls you get some rep? (even with no quest active, it's just something you can do any time) I think it is rep worthy but I really dislike the idea of 'here is a quest, go find it and kill it' the kraken should be spontaenous and have a mind of its own.

    On another note, me and a friend had another idea - krakens ink could be a craft item you can get from killing the kraken. You need a few of them and they can be used to craft unique items, perhaps cosmetics, but we were thinking more sails and paint for the hull of your ship :) So you have an additional style of ship players will know you have defeated the kraken

    @angrycoconut16 I never said anything about a quest to go kill the Kraken. I said you should be rewarded Reputation (XP) for killing the Kraken.

    You and I have gone in circles about the reputation thing. So, for a moment I am coming to your side of the fence. Two pirates. Pirate #1 just turned in 3 chickens, a pig and a powder barrel. Pirate #2 just solo'd the Kraken. Which one deserves more "Reputation"? Which one is more "Legendary?" Which one actually gets more reputation, and gets closer to legendary status. Very Pirate like. Are you seeing what I am saying now?

  • AngryCoconut16

    @touchdown1504 What is your problem? You make an argument out of everything. I am literally agreeing with you but just saying I don't think the reputation in question should come from a quest. I know you didn't suggest that but I was just making that point. I think the kraken could drop loot in the form of a krakens tooth (for example) and the rep could come from that, it could be an item which could be obtained at any time and handed in at any time, without an active quest. I think this is one option for how it could work.

    I knew exactly what you were saying. Look I know we disagree on another thread but you don't have to go searching for arguments, I'm not a bad guy even though we disagreed on that thread. But yes I agree! Rep for this seems like a good idea.

    @angrycoconut16 Nobody was making an argument. Look at what you posted, what am I supposed to think? Dude, lets just quit replying to each other. you don't answer threads, you toss stuff out there that had nothing to do with the previous one. yes, a loot drop would be nice. peace!

  • AngryCoconut16

    @touchdown1504 I mentioned rep gain, I suggested a mechanism for it, and I also suggested an extra use for a potential kraken drop, but I am not answering the thread... and add things which have nothing to do with the previous comments....

    ok.... sure....

    I'm not sure about summoning relics but the other ideas i like, good list.

    Heres a couple of links to posts i made that you may find interesting, one of which expands on the bosses you've listed and how their encounters could be done.
