The Next Bilge Rat Adventure : Festival of the Damned

  • @sshteeve I thought that, so people would need to kill themselves in a specific way to get the right flame to appear before they can unlock the next stage of the riddle.

    Very clever!

  • Loving the sound of this one! :)

  • Love it. Just need a fog horn and then we can recreate that classic scene from close encounters!

  • Summary:

    • Lanterns can now change colour by interaction
    • Face paint
    • Some commendations in which you need to be in an alliance

    I'll take it.

  • So face paint, make-up and fancy lights?

    Hmmm, and commendations for being killed in certain ways (most likely). Interesting.

    How many ways to die are there in SoT?

    1. Drowning
    2. Shot by cannon
    3. Shot by pistol
    4. Shot by EoR
    5. Shot by Blunderbuss
    6. Lunged with sword
    7. Slashed with sword
    8. Dragged down with sinking ship
    9. Fall from height
    10. Hit by lava rock
    11. Launched by geyser
    12. Boiled alive
    13. Poisoned by snake
    14. Blown up by barrel
    15. Hit by lightning
    16. Eaten by shark
    17. Eaten by Meg
    18. Murdered by Karen
    19. Killed by Skeleton Ships

    Oh and I only discovered this recently

    1. Shoot self in foot

    I hope we get to find out a bit more about the Ferry, the Ferryman and his motivations in this adventure.

  • Can someone explain why reddit has informations first, rares own forum only second hand.

    speaking of fog - @Musicmee , @Skulliah or @SpecialAdvisor did you get a screengrab of the fog last night?? It was like Silent Hill all over again!

  • @goedecke-michel Ahoy matey!

    Reddit didn't receive any official information before the forum did, but what did happen is one of the community decided to post to Reddit rather than here.

    I copied that community members post from Reddit and posted it here.

  • @goedecke-michel No worries matey!

    I suspect there will be a video from the event uploaded to the official channels soon!

  • @sshteeve surprisingly no! I usually spend an inordinate amount of time on screencapping...usually for 3D purposes though :-)

  • @specialadvisor Thanks for the heads-up about the water soluble support material! Looking into that today when making a judgement on what printer to buy.

  • @musicmee my pleasure shipmate! We should talk before you pull the trigger. Want to get my vote in for what ‘I’ think you should get ;-)

  • @musicmee I feel like this encapsules my reaction in a well-fitting theme.

  • i'm pretty ( * Yeah, right ...) sure that The Captain of the Damned will give me all that stuff next time i die ( * So....after approximately 1 minute of playing...) for free.i died a few zillions of times and i'm sure if i can add a little can of oil to smear his hinges of his Cabin Door , that i get an exclusive Flame .... Because i'm the only Pirate that keeps Captain Ferry company almost during a whole session...

    I'm sure you sell yourself short there George. I'm happy to sail with you one day to show you that I too spend an inordinate amount of time on the Ferry... I also have a habit of falling off the ship... ask anyone who has sailed with me - it happens far too often!

    I got drunk last night on grog and managed to navigate right over the plank!

  • @sshteeve
    Aha...What shall we do with the Drunken Sshteevie? Ah , drinking and sailing...It's just like in real life , there is drinking and driving also asking for trouble...hihihihihii

  • Oh my god

  • Good to see them incorporate some kind of change with the ferry considering we spend so much time there. There really needs to be some card or dice games there.

  • @clumsy-george you are 'not' alone matey!

    I spend so much time on the Ferry I swear I'm going to add an Army Cot and a deck chair! :-D

  • Yay! I was worried they wouldn't do holiday events. It's even better that they are utilizing the death mechanics for this one.

  • Maybe we'll get to see ghost/skeleton skins as well that we can still wear our clothing with :)

  • That sounds like a really cool bilge rat adventure. Looking forward to it! Well played Rare.

  • @tre-oni I would absolutely love a Día de los Muertos kind of outfit! Something that glows a little too (maybe for legends only?) would be super awesome!

    Yes, it's about time legends get a bone at least. Hopefully the legend stuff they were working on will be talked about soon too.

    Aside from that, I love the Día De Los Muertos idea. Even though it's a Mexican holiday, it would bring some of that Spanish je ne se quoi you see in Pirates of the Caribbean to Sea of Thieves.

  • @musicmee I'll take every opportunity that exists to mention those kinds of ghost/skeleton skins/auras haha

    The outfit thing sounds like it could really be awesome too! Sea of Thieves is already heavy on the ghosts/skulls motif so I'm sure it could be made to fit a bit of a festival theme

  • @tre-oni And anything that glows fits well with the Pirate Legend stuff!

  • That's legit. I've always wanted more from ferry of the damned. It would even be cool to have pirates like in the Legend hideout on the ferry that change periodically. These purates would give clues and secrets out about the game and teasers of future game developments. Also these would be pirates who were just shy of becoming pirate legends. They would show disappointment and regret in their speech.

  • @musicmee then we will meet one of these days over there :D

  • @musicmee said in The Next Bilge Rat Adventure : Festival of the Damned:

    @specialadvisor Thanks for the heads-up about the water soluble support material! Looking into that today when making a judgement on what printer to buy.

    If Rare could come out with some official 3D templates that pirate legends can download and print out.... that would be amazing. For example, captains chest the size of your fist, pirate legend symbol, skeleton captain, villainous skull, and other items you could put on your desk. :D

  • oh party in the the ferry the old man wont be pleased

  • Interested to find out what the actual Adventure is, decorating your ship with fairly lights doesn’t sound very adventurous :)

  • @ajm123 I'm always up for a party on the Ferry!

    @XRayLexx I suppose not, but this does seem to launch more features than most previous Bilge Rat Adventures so I'm sure there's something big to do to earn those commendations.

  • @musicmee how in the .. did I miss this post lol, anyways shared it to the main discord I am in.

  • Maybe it explains why lot of NPC are talking about the ferry of the damned.
