Hi all, some of my fellow legend and non legend crew have been spending our sail time on Athena grinds discussing the end game content. While sailing about with a 2+ legend crew does actually feel awesome and different than the experience leading up to it, I feel that most Legends and those working towards it agree that there is much more room for improvement.
Mainly: Weapons
As a proud owner of the Ferryman set, I can't help but be a little bothered that almost indisputably the coolest weapons in the game have no competition. If they aren't your thing, that's fine, but if you Google them chances are you'd agree they are significantly more epic than ANY weapons in game.
It's highly disappointing that neither of the very cool (but limited selection) legend sets include any weapons or equipment.
Honestly I would even be happy if they took the easy way and slightly realigned the Ferryman weapons for legend only, they're almost a perfect match already. Of course something totally unique would be preferred but seriously lack of ANY legend weapons leaves a gaping hole in the feeling of badassery when you finally hit it.
I won't go too in depth on clothing and ship options as I am trying to focus on the weapons, but let's say the 2 outfits aren't for everyone and more ways to really stand out are needed.
As for Athena's fortune, I'm currently rank 8 and worried about what to strive for at 10. An expanded Athena's Fortune (ideally with at least one other method of earning it) would be so welcome and keep me in the grind. They could raise it to 20 or 25 leaving us more to earn. Rep could unlock these items, with the ship and weapons saved for the highest. What could be added:
- Instruments: There is already a ghost hurdy gurdy model in game, as can be seen in the Legend hideout. This as well as drums and an accordion, perhaps even with a sort of ghostly sound, would be beyond cool.
*Missing clothing: Only one that comes to mind is a shirt, but this is one I would love to see for both sets to give you more outfit options, much of the ghost gear looks fantastic when mixed with other sets.
Ship Customization: My buddies and I have taken to decorating our ship with Villainous Skulls. Whether in the lanterns or lining the stairway, or by the wheel, this valuable piece of loot is honestly one of the best ways to actually make your ship look legendary and serve as a challenge to any who would dare claim them. Can you imagine a Ghost Hull, or Sails? So many legendary things could be done with the concept. A flag with a glowing skull would be sweet for those of us elevated to the position of Sentient World Bosses.
And finally, the most important part with the most potential: WEAPONS
When do you hear a legend of any kind of warrior, without also hearing of their legendary weapons? As said above, this is honestly one of the biggest disappointments I have with legend and the subject of this post. Legend set weapons could be almost anything (or a reskinned ferryman) but the ghost set has some exciting possibilities.
-
Equipment: Won't cover everything, just my most desired: GHOST LANTERN.
-
Sword- There are many ways this could be done well. A wicked lookinf black blade with a glow along the entirety of the sharp point is mt personal favorite idea, or even an over the top completely glowing blade like some kind of cutlass "lightsaber". Lots of possibilities.
-
Guns: I'll keep this to one bullet point as I've rambled enough and the concept is the same for all 3. Imagine, jagged looking black weapons (think something like Destiny's Thorn as a flintlock) with the signature glowing bits, but my personal wish would be that they fire glowing cyan shot. Seriously how cool would that be? Of course cosmetic only, but it would add some huge incentive to grind the increasingly long Athena levels.
TL;DR
More legend and athena options please and WEAPONS!
Love the game and almost every second I've spent in it. Give me more to earn please. ☺
