Tower defense suggestion

    Lets make it simple :)

    • Where? :
      Huge rocks around the map.
      Locations :
      Ancient Isles (I 19)
      Shores of Plenty (G 3 or G-H 9)
      Wilds ( M-N 6)
      Devils Roar ( V 18)
      Those are the biggest rocks i've found around the map.
      Rework them by adding some wooden platforms and vault that will hold the loot.

    • How it should work ? :
      Cutlass cloud will spawn over the rock (same as skelly fort or fleet).
      First crew on the rock has to activate the timer with button.
      Button will activate the countdown (30-40 min) and global horn sound will announce that it was activated so people will know someone is there.
      Every 10 mins there should be some sound like in arena announcing how much time is left or after hitting activating button cloud will change color to red and slowly will turn to green.
      After (30-40mins) vault will open and last standing crew will take their rewards.

    • Rewards :
      First i was thinking about athena chests but not everyone is PL or already is lvl10.
      So there should be new stuff added into game for example: (Golden cannonballs crate, Golden cutlass, maybe chest similar to arena chest). U cannot use these item only sell them.

    • Where to sell rewards? :
      Arena tavern, because few rocks are too close to outposts, but with new faction located only there.

    So that should be everything. Let me know if you like this idea or you would change something. :) cheers!

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that it should spawn only when there are 4 ships on server or when its almost full.

    A defense king of the hill type raid would be cool wether it is in arena or adventure.

    Watch pace store 2 reaper chests on arena area and defend it. Pretty good video.

    @hrnco7 Bonus points for being (somewhat) original with your idea. But rocks? And pressing a button? Nah... Also a cutlass cloud doesn't seem like a good fit, IMO.

    Also, like with the active forts now, there's no guarantee that everyone will drop what they're doing to go contest it.

    @galactic-geek Where would you like to have it ? Regular island ? And that button is there for activating the countdown :) Ofc it doesnt have to be cutlass cloud it can be anything else. I think players will show more often than on forts when it will be something new wit new faction new levels new rewards :)

    @hrnco7 Having it on a regular island might interfere with other voyage types. I think your idea is basically already in the game via the active skull forts.

    I really like this suggestion, but I think it might be better served as a game mode within arena. That way you get crews who want to participate together, instead of relying on the chance that someone wants to rumble in adventure.

    I think there should be multiple modes for arena actually...

    Great suggestion though!

    @galactic-geek Forts are more about PVE cuz u have to clear waves to get the loot, ofc others players can attack u but is more PVE, this tower defense is just PVP.

    Nope, it's PvPvE, just like the rest of the game. 😉

    Not sure if this king of the hill would work as an arena mode, adventure needs more pvp action like reaper's chest, this will prevent ppl from server hopping, if u wanna play it u need almost full server to spawn this cloud. In arena u have to wait so long or not enough players. Anyway ty for your opinion :)
