The cosmetic reward recieved from doing all commendations for all tall tales should be kept unique to each player. I do not want to think that everyone with this cosmetic will look the same with it equiped. Having it appear different on people makes it cool, take that away and the appeal of wearing it goes down. I think it is better to be random than everyone have same.
Final Tall Tale Reward
@quickfire367 I agree, as long as they make it so that there is a minimum gold amount that can appear. I have heard and seen stories of people having as little as just their hand get covered or only have a patch under their eye. And this is truly unfortunate.
Again, I agree, but if I do all Tall Tales 5 times and find all the journals; I better have more than just my right hand in gold or I’ll be upset.
@machaca22 I just posted in feedback and suggestions what I think would be a great idea to the curse to keep everyone unique go check it out tell me what you think
@algaram I definitely will! I’m trying to be active in every post about the gold curse because I believe keeping them unique to each pirate is an amazing customization choice! Knowin that while others may have the same curse; yours is unique to you!
@quickfire367 just said it in other threads...make it, that the more gold you own, the more gold is on your body...so if you have, let's say 5 million or so, you look like a living gold statue
@schwammlgott A lot of players don’t have the time and effort it would take to acquire that much gold. Not to mention not everyone is a Pirate Legend with every item in the game.
People will want to spend their money but also have a lot of gold on their character.
@zaannox first they have to do the tales 5 times...by that time they should have already a bit of money...
I like the way mine looks and agree wholeheartedly to it truly being unique being something that shouldn't be removed, however; I can see those that hate the random way it looks on their particular character and would prefer whichever way it will ultimately end up.
That being said, why not keep it unique but, if possible, let the player roll the dice on the look a couple times as if they were choosing their pirate?
@zaannox said in Final Tall Tale Reward:
@machaca22 Being the same is lame; being unique is cool. I agree!
If everyone is unique, then no one is.
On a serious note though, does this curse affect cosmetics too or is it covered by them?

What they meant is that there's some kind of visual bug, and they are gonne fix this... My guess is, the gold is supposed to be darker, instead of nearly white.
However, im gonna make my own suggestion.
They should add origin points of this curse on a characters body, the curse spreads from these points in the same shape and patterns as everyone else, just on different points on the body, and have the curse-spread scale based on how rich you are from those origin points...
Let's say it scales from 1 gold, and maxes out at 10 000 000 gold, where your character is fully golden.
That way, you mix static apparance with dynamic appearance, allowing pirates to be unique... Mostly... Unless you have 10 000 000 gold, then you will look the same as everyone else with that amount of gold, you become a goldie. xD

No thank you! I just got my curse and it's not a good one, too much gold for my taste.
With your sugestion and my 23 milllion gold I would be covered in gold from head to toe -.-@schwammlgott That's nothing. You only get 3K per tall tale, plus 10K for tall tale 9:
(3k5)8=120k
10K5=50K
120K+50K=170KDo you really think players won't spend this 170,000 gold? You can barely buy a ship with that. You have to take into consideration, not everyone has bought every item in the game like you and I. They can't just hold their gold until a new content update come out. They want to spend their money.
@crimsonraziel That, "If everyone is unique; no one is." quote makes absolutely no sense xD
It only covers your skin; not your clothes. So if you wear clothing; there's a good chance a bit of your gold will get covered as well.
@zaannox do you really think new players go into the game and only do all the tall tales, each 5 times, without doing anything else? Without taking any loot with them that's lying around somewhere? Without even try to do a voyage of the trading companys? The first thing they want to do when byuing this game, is jump in and get the gold curse? Really? Can't imagine that...
@schwammlgott Well yes but they are also going to spend that gold, no? And on a lot of things too. New clothes, new ship parts, new weapons, new equipment. They're not just going to hold their gold! That's silly! They are going to spend it, which means they'll most likely always be around the 0-1K gold range. I assume most people that aren't legend are in this area. Unless they are saving for something.
@zaannox You get 3.000 gold for every (9) tall tale. The 10.000 gold is extra.
That quote is a truth about peoples minds. If it sounds nonsesical it's due to the matter it describes.
The Thing on that random generator is
Most players dont LIKE the look of their Gold curseAnd so they think their wasted their time to even get that and will never wear it
Thats why Rare wants to fix it
But i dont think they fix it that way that everyone looks the same as alwaysI more think of a uniqe Way to Choose out of the diffrent varietys what the Person likes best
Like the Charakter choosing when you begin the Game you knowThat way it still would be random to a point so that not everyone looks the same
But everyone would be happy with their own Version of itFor example i know 3 people who got the same, then i know me and 2 others who complety diffrent, and just 2 of them all like their current skin
It just depends cause some people like more some like less@quickfire367 said in Final Tall Tale Reward:

It absolutely should not be left up to RNG. I just got my curse on Saturday evening and could not have been more disappointed with it. I got one small patch of gold on my character's stomach.
Do you honestly believe that it is even remotely fair that some people are getting less of a reward than others for the same time investment? Maybe you're happy with the way yours turned out, but some of us got completely screwed thanks to the RNG nature of this reward right now.
Do I think it would be cool to have options in the future for those who prefer a more uniques design? Absolutely! But the priority at the moment for Rare should be to establish a universal standard for this reward and guarantee that everyone who works for this is guaranteed the quality of reward they should be earning. Then they should move on to choices for the design if they see fit.
But I think suggesting that they just leave it up to RNG is a horrible, unfair idea. I look forward to the upcoming change.
