So something interesting I learned from completing the Maidens Voyage and reading the Pirate Lords journals happens to be that the Sea of Thieves is an ocean region sought by fame hungry pirates. We the players made zero to no effort in bringing our scurvy buttoms here, so it has me thinking of the future of the game. Currently the Sea of Thieves is a cesspool of PvP mayhem. So then, can we assume Rare plans to expand into other ocean areas? Possibly this is how we might receive a PVE server only? By creating an ocean area(s) thats player friendly only, and turning the Sea of Thieves into a sort of 'One Piece', where the most profit can be made at the price of PvP risk.
Also, after seeing the Pirate Lord and his magic staff that sends us into the Sea of Thieves, I've been pecking at the thought of a third combat system. Something like voodoo or magic use to diversify what we have.
Skill abilities and needing to level them would also be nice to see, giving us more investments towards character progression. Gunslinging specialization would mean expanding weaponry slots or being able to use other forms of guns than just the flintlock, pyromancy specialization, cutlass specialization would increase cutlass combos, and magic specialization, just some ideas to think about.
I'm really curious of the Maritime Union and if we will see them someday. I love the thought of maritime military hunting you down or possibly setting illicit trade deals with
