Hello Everyone
I have been playing a lot of SoT recently with the anniversary update, mostly the tall tales trying to complete each 5 times. Upon the first completion, I had nothing but admiration for the team and what they accomplished, and I still do however I think forcing the player to play the same Tall Tale 5 times to get the cosmetic is a bad choice and here is why.
After playing each Tall Tale 5 times I've come to notice how similar they are, first of all during the first playthrough you might be blinded by there being some sort of story in SoT, but in every Tale, you are pretty much doing the same thing over and over again with some variation every time. In almost every Tall Tale with the exception being the Fate of the Morningstar Shores of Gold and the Shroudbreaker, you visit a bare minimum of two islands and are required to dig up 2 artifacts, Once you have done this over and over again it becomes so sluggish and boring that you never want to replay that tale (at least that's how I feel).
Another issue with the Tall Tales that I have noticed is the amount of sailing that needs to be done during a Tale, excluding the Shroudbreaker and the Fate of the Morningstar. I love sailing in SoT but when I am doing a Tale and I have to sail to the opposite end of the map and sail all the way back it can extend the time of a Tail to an unessacary amount, it is the most annoying thing having to sail for half an hour just to grab a single artifact, especially if you are completing the tale alone it is very very verrry boring.
Now this may be messy writing and all over the place, but I needed to do something as I was sailing trying to complete the Revenge of the Morning Star for the 4th time! anyways I hope you guys see my point, and if you don't lemme know how you feel.
