Right this is going to be my feedback plus my imput into how I could see this game going. Opinions always welcome
Feedback:
Positives-lush landscape, feels fresh in game style and the devs and community are invested in the game
Negatives (with suggestion):
The content could do with serious work. How I suggest it could improve is including the lore in game. We could have voyages where instead of recieve map we get thrown into a in game scenario with npc players talking and us investing in their voyage. As much as it was said "you make your owm voyages." I sadly just dont think this works in this type of game. I think we should create our own stories around the lore introduced in game. Theres plenty of it, you have spent your time writing it why waste it and not include it in game?
Introduce area where there are in game events. Big love for world of warcraft. We could have some serious fun having a pirates capture the flag and pvp style games! Why not make a pirate style darkmoon fair where they rotate around the map and pirates sail over to engage in games, races and arena like things. It fits so well into your style of people coming into the world. Why cant carni's comes too?
A serious need for casual play style. Ik there are many pvp fan boys but we seriously need some chill too. I really want some fishing in game, why cant there be sea creatures lured into the sea of thieves due to its now populatity. Why cant you add lore saying how now the sea of thieves secrecy has been exposed and now creatures have come and we have to hunt them down and try and remove them.
Please please please in game bosses and rare bosses. Just look to major mmo games like WOW, BDO, Halo, Fable. As much as you can create your own story you need to make the world "a place to be." You need big bosses and key role players to fight for. There needs to be challenges and in game boss mechanics like any classic adventure game
Making a world a place to be needs a founding of story and npcs in it.
Another note crafting and weapon customisation.
Give ships a battering ram on the front, harpoons, smoke barrels, curses cannonablls, flame cocktails, boarding axes, a portable cannon, skeleton chicken cages you can unleash.
There is litterally so much you can do with this game.
