@shreksanus they've heard a lot of feedback on the topic they said so I would assume we may get a few new things for it during the Cursed Sails.

@dcr-lt-kanada rip true. Still the new content is still gonna be fun

but but but....pirate legend is where the game starts according to Rare....SMH....

@shreksanus well nothing about Legends yet.

@octopus-lime That seems to be a popular issue where all the Legends are leaving. There isn't a lot of replay value for some players and hopefully this is something that can be solved.

Personally I have pretty much stopped playing since becoming a PL and have only done one Athena voyage. I logged in to do THD but I don't really have the drive to play at the moment. I'm hoping the summer update brings in something fun to do as the current Athena voyages are just a repeat of the lvl 50 grind just blended together in one big bore-fest.

@eva1977 I too which there was more done with the hideout.

It should be about getting specific quests that are interesting not grinding, find chests that are valued at triple of what a captains chest is worth and access to areas worthy of all the grind you went through not just the hidden tavern that has almost nothing.

@dcr-lt-kanada I hope so, they said they were going to showcase some new features that were going to be added and do alot of interviews during e3 as well. So if anything is introduced for legends we'll definitely hear about it

Do you think we'll get some Pirate Legend updates at E3?

@shreksanus yeah here's hoping it'll be expanded upon more.

@dcr-lt-kanada
I'm not a pirate legend yet but if I don't have much to look forward to as a legend that's kinda lame:( so I'm hoping our ideas might change the pirate legend experience.

Suggestions?
How about pirate legends unlock more branding options for each pirate crew?
So Pirate legends would be able to have a fleet (kinda like a gamerclan) that has a pirate legend as fleet Captain.
They could have a customizable fleet name and cool description with a wanted poster of the Captain on stuff.

Crew colors and custom flags for any players that join a Legend's Fleet. Maybe 0.1% of all crew chests go to the Captain.

The Captain could have a crew chat where they moderate announcements and enter their crew into fleet only servers that run events.

I feel this would help to enfame legends
With alot of followers without harming the balance of play.
Thanks!

@dcr-lt-kanada definitely some good points. Hopefully Rare will do something to keep legends around longer.

Would a greater progression system pass 50 that introduces new concepts help some of these issues?

@blg-strong-dad A lot of good points. That type of sword would be neat.

@dcr-lt-kanada My biggest gripe is no weapon skins at all. I love the legends outfit, and I love the ghost outfit. I just don't understand why there's no ghost cutlass that has a broken floating blade. Or any guns. The voyages are a lot of fun, but the skeletons are absolutely ridiculous. I don't want them to be easier to kill, I just don't want to feel like I'm playing the walking dead meets pirates. On average it feels like you fight about 5 skeletons per step that take 8 hits to kill with a sword, or 3 sword dashes. That time adds up quick. I'd say on average most voyages could be cut by 30+ minutes if skele spawns were just a little less. I've still been loving the game since hitting legend (I thought I'd get bored quick) but with a crew of friends Athena's voyages are great. I just hope we get some more stuff to work for soon as legends. The ship skin is pretty underwhelming for me shy of the figurehead. All I've got to look forward to in terms of progression is the ghost outfit and I already have half of it.

I have been a Legend for about 4 days now. I'm about to hit level 7 athena now and I'm sure ill be at Level 10 by next week.

I think they need to add a new rank for those that pass level 10 and give them some type of perk. I think a lot of people really just stopped grinding after becoming Pirate Legend so those that have stuck with the grind should be rewarded just my thought.

I have been happy with whats available now but we need more for after Level 10

As has been stated, eventually pirate legends will become much more commonplace. I’m sure they will eventually dangle another carrot for those that want Athena level 50 or whatever, but then what comes next? I agree there should be more cosmetics to choose from, and Im sure that will be added at some point too. There isn't really anything about Pirate Legend that draws me right now, so the process I make towards it is really just a by product of playing and enjoying the game.

My question is, why are we all striving to be the same thing and have only one pinnacle to reach anyways?

I'd like to see some other goals to strive after.. here's a couple to start with.

Special status or reward for maintaining something. There could be daily, weekly or monthly requirements. It would encourage keeping a streak going... if you see someone with a special jacket, you'd know they were dedicated to shark hunting for example.

To make something truly sought after, it needs to remain limited. One way to do this is to have a special item appear on the server. It could be randomly spawned on a shipwreck or island, and once a player collects it, (lets say its a crown) they can wear it, carry it, or store it on their ship. It would make available some special cosmetics while they have it, and the item itself cannot be sold at any outpost, but perhaps for every in-game hour it stays in your possession, it gives you rep in some new category. Other pirates in the world could somehow be alerted to its discovery, and given a general idea of where it is on the map. Thus begins a game of keep-away.

@ahab-smollett I agree, I think that's where some would get disappointed. I never grinded hard to get to Legend but those that have may have been left wanting. I have no serious issues with "What a Legend is" my suggestions are more of a quality of life thing.

I've been legend for a couple weeks now; if it's something you're "grinding" for, you're probably going to be disappointed. If it's just something nice you get while having fun playing this game and interacting with other pirates, it's pretty awesome!

No complaints here.

@john-hatter You make a lot of good points, those are some of the main points I was making.

I know this wouldn't fix a lot of the 'problems' people have with the current pirate legend implementation and for all I know it will be this way down the road but...

I would like to see the cosmetics in the Legend department flushed out. We(nonlegends) have outfits in general that fit all walks of life as it were. I would like to see more complex outfits for pirate legends. Go full on Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates court wardrobe. Jackets with trinkets/spyglasses/pocketwatch chains/etc and elaborate hats with feathers and frills and wigs and beads. Shirt/vest/jacket combos, fancy boots, maybe some face paint. Things that make you look flashy to show you are a legend. Make it so that Legend is more a status of how long you've been sailing versus how 'strong' you are as people seem to auto apply to it and have the clothes express this seasoned traveler look.

I think a lot of the 'issues' could be fixed if they just put some general context in what Pirate Legend was supposed to mean. As long as people try to act like its a pvp title it will always fall short.

@urihamrayne I can understand that, that's why I was making the variety argument. Because beyond the athena voyages there isn't much that makes obtaining Legend status truly unique. I know some are okay with where it is, which is fine and in the games current state is understandable. But moving forward I would like to see something other than "Okay you're a Legend! Here's a new outfit and just more of the same."

@pikavenger Well I did say in a way that won't mess up the balance of the game. That particular perk isn't the only possible one and when I thought of it I was thinking in a way where they come back with maybe a quarter of health and it can only be done once. If you have any other ideas I'd like to hear them.
