The Devils Roar. Should it get a update

@jg13-gamer The Roar needs attention as much as Arena does. They've nearly abandoned it, it hasn't gotten 2/3 of the new voyages, 3/3 of the new world events, and is generally devoid of content. I want this whole game to have something to offer no matter where you go.

Moot. Mute is a setting your TV has to make no sound. Moot is a point that is no longer relevant.

That said I am 100% in favor of anything adding more to the experience in the Roar. I love the volcanoes. I love the whole thing, and I agree there should be more there.

@cptphteven Thanks for compensating for my grammar.

But yeah. I think arguably the only issue with expanding the Roar is. How many players would want to go through the risk of volcanos for. A little bit extra loot.

Best case scenario could be to increase the amount of gold ashen loot gives even further. Having Ghost ship and Lost shipment voyages be affected if you buy them in the Roar. And maybe even allowing say. Molten sands fortress give ashen fortress loot. Or a skeleton fleet give you Ashen Skeleton ship loot?

I think if we're trying to be reasonable without suggesting say. Reworking the Roar itself.

@jg13-gamer

Honestly, everything that spawns in the roar (skeletons ship loot, meg loot, etc.) should have the Ashen modifier.

Or, possibly better yet - just give a (small) percentage chance for any loot to be the Athena variant.

Personally... I like the roar as it is. But that is probably because I am a solo slooper and as long as you aren't running emissary... you can sail the roar all day long without being bothered by larger crews. Nobody goes out there and that is fine by me. It's as close to a PVE server as you can find.

I wouldn't mind more 'Ashen-ifying' everything, including the voyages, but I'd kind of like more 'xx of Rage' items. Ashen items sell for more simply because they GLOOOOOOOOOOW, but you can find them anywhere in the world. Wouldn't mind some flaming ashes or unstable nitro barrels that sell for a trove of coins to the merchants, and so on.

risk / reward, risk your ship catching fire and exploding into the stratosphere / make bank.

The Roar is why I finally bought the game. The Stitcher Jim trailer captured my imagination.
Since then, the Roar has been toned down and has lost its edge.
I want it to be dangerous again and with a sense of urgency.

No it should be deleted if anything 😀

Yes the roar needs an update, i remember when it first came and i was so amazed....i still love it but people are rarely there because of the volcanos.
I on the other hand still love it, nice visually and with higher stakes and even higher the profits.

@jg13-gamer Especially now that we're back to 6 ship servers, they need to turn off the volcano at Morrow's and make it a spawn point; albeit a lower chance spawn.

Add (fire impervious) animals to the islands and it is suddenly as viable an environment as any other.

Make the volcanic rocks do less damage or scale with ship size, and not target players and ships, make them truly random.

Volcano eruptions aren't a challenge, they're a binary toggle that turns the fun off. If one is erupting near you, there isn't a thought of "But if I do this, I can overcome the situation", you have to babysit your ship and leave as soon as possible. I've had pvp battles come to a total halt by an eruption, with both of our ships being hit and going minutes in cannon range without firing a shot because we're both stuck managing our ships.

Put the challenge elsewhere, have Ashen Skeletons immune to fire damage and move faster when burning, igniting themselves when on an erupting island or something. Currently if you need to go to an island that's erupting, it might as well have a "Fun's Closed" sign on it.

I think it was the first ashen key and ashen chest voyages gathering tomes on and between tiny islands in the roar that we liked a lot.
We played it over and over again those where nice short voyages with fun loot to hoard.

If there are fun voyages on small island we love to go there.

It definitely should at least be updated with the new voyages and events. It’s such a cool area with a lot of potential. I wish they’d use it more

Make the volcanoes op again lol.

You can get Salvage and GHVaults from Morrow's Peak. There is not currently a ghost fleet OoS DR variation. I don't think Flameheart, the new lords or the new Super Fort spawn in the Roar either.

It's good as the harder PvE area.
The volcanoes are totally avoidable if you keep your guard up for rumbles and smoke and keep the ship prepped for a quick getaway.
Instead of being on the lookout for sails you are watching for the volcanoes.

I wish it was nicer on the eyes though. Nicer water and more clear sky. Feels a bit depressing.

@joelmuzz

It's spoopy

I'll throw my hat in and say the Devil's Roar (and The Wild while we're at it) should stay as is.

There's nothing wrong with the environment or the voyages, and the lack of activity in this area is only because of the major influx of gold elsewhere.

And it's only because other gold-earning-activities and the like that the roar is emptier now than it's ever been.

On the topic of changing the geography, we really could start with the deletion of all these triangular tall-tale monoliths that are littered everywhere and have now confused many navigators who were able to easily move around the sea of thieves by simple sight navigation before.

If there were possibly too many rocks coming out of the water before, there are certainly too many now.
