I’d like to see Cursed Kegs on the Seas.
Weary kegs, Ballast Kegs, Peace kegs, Jig Keg
Basically what these kegs can do is cause a longer lasting effect then a cursed cannon ball if a ship is in range of the cursed keg.
It would be fun and probably easy to add new mechanic to sea of thieves. Let me know what you think?
Different Types of Kegs! (Cursed Kegs)
@vupzy a rigging keg you strategically drop off the back of your ship while a ship is chasing you, they run over it, sails go up lol.
Personally, I think the idea of cursed kegs should be limited to player effects rather than ship ones. I know what I said above was a joke but I could see that being used, or worse, an anchor one (oh the complaints…)
The mere idea of a cursed keg is equal parts dread inducing and delightful - but I was thinking of it more as a volatile and unpredictable treasure when first saw your topic. Making them super rewarding too and really incentivizing the risk would be amazing.
@vupzy sounds interesting, I assume these would only have the Cursed effect and not in addition to damage as that would be somewhat overpowered. Also with green curses I'm not sure as surely if they're within the blast radius you'd rather they die to an actual keg.
Yeah... it sounds interesting at first, but once you think about it, most situations where you can actually get a keg on someone's ship... I think you would rather it just be a damaging keg.
Having kegs do their damage or the effect you'd pretty much always want the damage, doing damage AND the effect would be OP@soulstinger2k20 But that's where the rarity could play in. Especially if you make them rarer than Athena kegs.
The developers need new mechanics, delivery systems, etc. They need to give us tools to work with where even pro-players will be given surprise if something tags them unexpectedly. Currently, I give this idea a thumbs up for both damage AND curses to one's ship. I don't feel it deserves "mega-keg" damage, but normal kegs are decent enough to warrant use. Plus, it could be an unknown effect, like voo-doo magic symbols that just tell a player its rarity, but the unexpected effect doesn't do what they hope.
The reason I say it shouldn't hold player curses is because the damage effect. If it doesn't kill a player, they will need to try to save their ship... Making them fall asleep is just added pain and frustration that will end up being unnecessary.
@burnbacon They're going to do that anyway. The only thing going for us is just gritting our teeth while Rare comes up with fixes and cheat detection.
@amendelwyr yeah you’re exactly correct, I just want to see something new In the game that changes SoT the way curse balls, blunder/fire bombs and chainshots did.
@burnbacon said in Different Types of Kegs! (Cursed Kegs):
And mods/cheaters will start dropping these on your ship. XD
Only in HG 😂
