[Mega Thread] Pirate Legend and Pirate Hideout

@khaleesibot @Dennis-Box This should be hard to obtain, it should evolve skill, stats, etc. You should not be able to boost to get this... or maybe it should require a little bit of everything before you can achieve it...

Not really a point in getting legendary status if people like Prodigy are allowed to game the system. Enjoying the heck out of the game but that really made legendary a hollow goal. Sad that you guys have some sort of pirate code but don't apply it to twitch streamers apparently. I guess we know where your priorities are and who you are working to please.

They should give the guy his "shrine" but have it named ProdXXXX the Cheat, and cover it in a bunch of seagull p**p.

@angelzzz505zzz IDK if a timer is the answer because some people may want to grind normally through the factions without server hopping/boosting. Maybe if a timer was implemented it could be activated only when switching servers. That way people can grind themselves, but cannot jump servers like the first PL did.

Rule 7 of the Pirate Code ...

Shame on "Twitch Prod1gyX"!

It was slightly disappointing that they let him keep "legend status", but not that surprising. I never expect a corporation to have integrity in the face of what is popular among the multitudinous morons who pay the bulk of their salaries.

It is highly disappointing, and quite surprising, to see that there is absolutely nothing special about pirate legend. I expect a dev like rare who, at one point, seemed to take pride in the games that they make to create something impressive. This is not that.

@ttargetpractice <rare> "we got yer money, don't like it? TUFF!"

hello, here are some ideas that I propose in my turn to add more fun to the game.

1. The addition of a preview system for clothes to see it on our pirate before buying.

2. The addition of grappling hooks to tackle enemy ships.

3. The addition of flight and resale boat. For this it would be necessary to make sure that the players can not respawn on their boat when an opposing player is present on it, if all the crew dies, the boat is considered as stolen. the opposing team can either sink, sell or sail with the team that was stolen the boat leaves with a new boat.

4. the addition of a "bounty hunter" contract between players that can be placed in the outposts.

5. The addition of treasures ( 20000 gold pièces or more ) but which would have no clue or very little like "north" to push players to visit all the islands to find new clues.

6. a system for capturing enemy players and being able to put them in prison (with handcuffs to escort to the cell)

7. a new cursed chest "that makes tons" and that would make the player extremely slow to move.

8. new cosmetics like scarves, rings, earrings etc ...

9. add an animation on the off-map like the Kraken coming out of the water and swallow the boat if we are too far

10. put a ghost ship (visible by players only at night) with black skeletons on board, which would require players to combine weapon and lantern.

11. The possibility of establishing a camp on an island (with 3 boxes minimum) which will have to be defended for a certain time to be able to double the value of the chests.

12. The possibility of burying the chests to retrieve them later.

That's all for now, we end up on the sea ;)

@klon54 You were having fun....so what more do you need? Think about what folks wanting to turn SoT into Destiny are saying here man. They want to forego enjoying great game experiences in exchange for....some undisclosed and undefined 'content drop' or to see numbers get bigger that only lead to more loot which in turn makes numbers go up faster, leading to more loot, etc.

Games that lean on loot farming do so because they lack the fun factor and memorable experiences this game oozes with. Those titles have to use Skinner Box game design to exploit human psychology to keep ppl playing with the intent being to make $$$ off of them. There's a reason Jamie Griesemer (famous for his '30 sec of fun' gameplay loop philosophy in Halo) left Bungie. There's a reason guys like Ken Levine have basically made it their life's goal to find a way to build 'narrative legos' to let player driven narratives actually mean something in games. RARE has accomplished that to a very large degree.

It isn't quantified easily in terms of game mechanics or skill points, but there is a countable number of adventurous tales being shared all over the internet already about the memorable experiences ppl have had.

Um... you do realize this game relies on nothing but loot farming. Either your doing it through PvE Voyages/Skull Forts or your PvP farming loot from other players. If you're not then you're not progressing and that would make no sense.

@tavishhill2003 If that is the case then they knew that besides the "wow, what a blast" stories that people were going to have horrible experiences. That the game would be judged by that, even if made them want refunds or not to play. So, then why are we not rewarded based solely on good or bad social interaction? So yeah maybe I'm not seeing the forest; maybe I'm saying look at this tree over here, see the roots.

Here's how I now view prodigy and his getting pirate legend. He stole it. How appropriate is that? Very. In the end i think he should still be recognized as first with some kind of short story in a novel in the tavern of legends describing how he stole the title by commanding a vast fleet but in the end doesn't know how anything worked because his fleet spoiled him.

@nightmare2772 Honestly that sounds insanely unbalanced. If it was faster than a normal galleon then it would be almost the same speed as the sloop and with a lot more people to fire upon a two man crew. Just the numbers game in that alone makes it beyond and for a game that wants to maintain balance, this is not the way to go. For instance what if this 6-man crew sails up on a 2 man crew who are both on the island. 4 vs 2 is already a feat to accomplish but 6 vs 2 is practically impossible. Can it be done sure but then what happens? the 6 man crew members just respawn on the ship and rejoin the fight. So basically it turns into a 2 vs 8 since normally the 2 players can get a kill (or two before dying).

Although I can't really talk since I haven't bought the game but I've been watching the forums about complaints and watching gameplay through twitch and youtube. I'm still leaning heavily against buying the game since it was almost identical to the betas. There might have been a small amount of new features added but its practically the same game of the betas that I spent upwards of 150 hours on....

I think the 'pirate legend' status is good in its idea, but to have the first person boost their way to it is not fair in anyway. Also, I feel that if they can add more things to it and make it more worthwhile, it could keep more people hooked to the game

@deathstroker770
I think that it would be greate if the thieves haven would be a sade zone and you could not attack a nother ship while in there so it would be a sosial meeting plase where you Can cordinate an attack or something like that alsow if there would be a british army galleons With spices and other valuable loot or just a lot of cannonballs raining on your ship

Stop crying about that guy who got legend with help. Almost everyone keep saying game is out of content and some were telling that alot of new stuff kick in at pirate legend. Well Proof is there.. Same s**t , almost no more cosmetic and same boring quest version 2.0 all at once.

I love the game and even If I though it was boring to lvl I had that hope that it was like WOW once you reach level cap, thing will get really interesting. But no.

This game is'nt for Gamer, It's for early casual that play 1 h every 2 day.

Still have big hope for this game .. just gonna wait Content.
Thx to prodigix to not let me Hard farm the pirate legend to get dissapoint because if it was me the first pirate legend and see how empty that is, I would uninstall the game on a rage quit for sure.

Pirate legend ship
So just wondering, within one of your posts you have made saying that once you become pirate legend you can start to create your black pearl, which is either a skin or a brand new ship. Since we have the first pirate legend, where is any of this. Someone please reply and notify me if this is coming or is it just a hoax.
