New and different opportunities to get the legendary pirate title !

The Megalodon is back into the game since today.Here are the new Patch notes: https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/64321/patch-notes-discussion-1-1-3/11

So here comes the idea because of this topic:

Each defeat of the Kraken and Megalodon should give the players a little amount of reputation in the factions to be able to rise the faction levels. The amount of reputation could be similar as the reputation from the voyages.

There could be also a Kraken and Megalodon kill counter and if the player reach a high amount of kills (as example : you killed the kraken 50 times) then he could get extra reputation experience in one or all factions.

To seek and hunt the megalodon could be interesting. Because some Megalodons like to flee instead to fight. That's what i got as information from the new patch notes.

There could be also the possibility that the Megalodon drops a tooth and the Kraken a little tentacle or a eye and this items could be sold to the Merchant.

So this could be a new way to be able to get the legendary pirat title without to do voyages or at least you could skip the Merchant voyages to just go and hunt the Kraken and/or Megalodon instead.

With the "cursed sails" dlc did we get AI Ships with Skeleton Crews as new Enemys on the sea. I don't think that these ships are Ghost ships. They will be normal ships but with a skelleton crew.

Each defeat of such a ship could give the players a little amount of reputation in the factions to be able to rise the faction levels. The amount of reputation could be similar as the reputation from the voyages.

There could be also a counter for destroyed AI Ships and if the player reach a high amount of destroys (as example : you destroyed the AI ship 50 times) then he could get extra reputation experience in one or all factions.

Plus the ships could have loot like wares and treasures on board. And that you can get the skull from the Skeleton Crew Captain to be able to sell it.

It could be similar with AI Ghost ships with the difference that you can't get the skull from the Captain because he will be a Ghost like the whole crew is.

So this could be a new way to be able to get the legendary pirat title without to do voyages or at least you could skip the Merchant voyages to just go fight against AI ships.

We also know that into the future the outposts will be attacked from AI Ships and that the players can defend these outposts .

And as reward for that the player could get also a little amount of reputation in the factions to be able to rise the level and to be able to get the title legendary pirate or legendary captain . Maybe the amount of reputation should be bigger this time.

All about what i write here are legendary stories about your epic Actions. Stories who deserve it to be told . Epic Actions they are worth to be little steps on your way to the legendary titles. And those epic actions have to be treated and rewarded the legend way. Because that's the path to be the legend.

It is a epic action to defeat the megalodon
It is a epic action to defeat the kraken
It is a epic action to defeat a ghost ship ans ghost crew
It is a epic action to defeat a AI Ship with a Skeleton Crew
It is a epic action to defend a outpost against a AI attack.

I don't see, how hunting sharks makes you a pirate.
I don't see, how hunting legendardy sharks makes you a pirate legend.

Same counts for collecting chickens, of cause.

Pirate Legend should be available to pirates only. Players, who rob stuff from other ships.

There's already thousands of legends who put in the time to reach it and if it became easier to get they would (rightfully so) become upset

I'm one of these thousands of legends . Who said that it should be or would be easier to get the legendary pirate title ? I just described different ways to be able to get this title, but to go this ways mustn't be easy or easier as before .

But RARE did it already a little bit easier . With the weekly events can you earn doubloons and with this doubloons you can buy one level for every faction. 20 doubloons= 1 Level and you got from the skeleton thrones event already 100 doubloons.

My Opinion is that special boss encounters should reward you with the reputation that you need to be able to get the legend titles.

The Megalodon and Kraken and also Ghost Ships and AI Skeleton Ships and Skeleton Captains and Ghost Captains should be treated as Boss.

And also should be epic actions rewarded the same way . To defend a outpost against a AI attack is epic .

Dabloons let you buy levels, no more voyages ;)

Nah... even with doubloons you have to do voyages because you will never get enough doubloons to buy for them 50 level into each faction.

Watch the update video, it says they are looking into it being a single level up per rep purchase

50×30=1500÷100= 15 weekly missions assuming they dont add some replayability reward

Since most people sick of the grind would probably be around level 40+ that means less than 3 weekly missions would be needed ;)

Quick maths

And what about the Athena faction ? You can't buy levels for the Athena faction. No matter about to have doubloons or not. I guess you will need a high Athena faction level to be able to be a legendary Captain.

But of course they could say that you get doubloons if you defeat the megalodon and the kraken , if you defend the outpost against a AI attack and if you defeat AI ships and so on.

What you just want to be handed everything? You still have to work for it buddy.

Buddy i'm already a legendary Pirate , aren't you ? I worked already hard to get this title. I was already a pirate legend two weeks before the doubloon content was released.

And besides that i don't talk here about to add a easier way to get those titles. I talk about to add different and more important and meaningful ways to get those titles and i don't care if they are twice so hard as everything before.

I care about that the way to get those titles aren't a grind full of silly meaningless tasks. The Athena faction is also full of meaningless silly tasks. These are no tasks for a legend. You are a legendary pirate and what did you have to do ? To pick up pigs and snakes and chickens ? That's silly.

@rattlyfob
Just imagine that you are a legend without legendary tasks all you have to do is the job of a cleaning lady and to wipe the floor , and for that you get then a new epic title because you are then the legend of all legends and as next you have to clean the toilet.

I would think that as legend i get the tasks to defeat a epic dragon , to have epic battles with epic enemys.. instead of that i get handed the broom and have to wash the dishes.

This is how sea of thieves works at the moment and this is what i complain about. And that's why there must be different and more epic ways with really epic tasks to be able to get the titles legendary pirate and legendary captain. I't isn't a epic task for a legendary pirate to find a treasure chest or to pick up a animal. It isn't a epic task to buy levels with doubloons. And sorry to say that but it isn't a epic task to seek skeleton thrones.

@durengo-germany
I only read your title and I already have my answer.

No

They already added the Bilge Rat letters that give you a good chunk of your XP and next week they’ll give you a whole level.

Stop being lazy and put in the work like the rest of us.

@durengo-germany I find all the voyages fun to do. If you think they are “silly” why are you playing the game?

@zaannox
Did you know what really lazy is ? To buy levels for doubloons .. thats lazy. In half an hour you can get 100 doubloons frome the Skeleton thrones event. 20 doubloons = 1 Level.

@guarez Yeah I was going to reply the same but saw that RattlyFob had already said it. :o)

@durengo-germany Yeah I agree with you on that, it's unfair to us. They didn't even bother to add an Athena Letter for us.

@durengo-germany I find all the voyages fun to do. If you think they are “silly” why are you playing the game?

They was fun to do at the start but if you think that i wanna do the same voyages repeatedly over and over again for the next 10 years to be able to get all legendary titles into this game (legendary pirate /legendary captain/legendary admiral/ legendary pirate lord/ legendary legend of als legends and so on) , then you think wrong.

Well , i'm already a legendary pirate.
But i can tell you already now that if i have to bring the athena faction to level 50 or 100 only with the opportunity to do the same voyages millions of times again to be able to get the legendary captain title .....

Well i will quit then. Because this is not a future prospect for the game.

I didn't need a Athena letter , i didn't need to be able to buy Athena faction levels but what the game needs are different kinds of tasks who will be a step into the direction to get the legendary titles. And these new hopefully meaningful and different tasks... that's what is this thread and topic about. They could be very hard but the tasks must be epic and awesome because this should be tasks for legends.

As Level 50/50/50 legend you have to do the same tasks like as the Level 0/0/0 beginners. Nothing more meaningful or no epic stuff. The only difference between both is that the voyages are easier as long you are not a legendary pirate.But basicly the voyages are the same.

I think that the players deserve better stuff , better and different tasks . More and different opportunities , to tell more and different stories.
The ability to choose one of several different ways to reach the goal.That's all about the diversity (sorry kids it's not because of politics or gender stuff) of Voyages , missions , quests ,the AI , tasks , events and so on. Yes we got a rainbow flag ingame to be able to show our personal diversity ..... but i can't see any diversity into the voyages because it's all the same. And about the diversity of the AI ... we have Skeletons .. and Skeletons... and let's see ahh more Skeletons and we get into the future more Skeletons. Beside of the megalodon and the kraken there are only skeletons..... is that a part of diversity ?
Well ok to be fair .. one skeleton is green .. one is golden ...the other one wears a silly hat in red , or in blue..and of course they all have different strengths and weaknesses.. but thats all... all are only skeletons.

The Sea of thieves story is full of diversity .. we read about different nations .. about different humans .. about natives...and so on.

I'm sure that we get natives into the future = Skeletons with feather ornaments around the neck and with tropical leaves skirts.

And about the gender diversity : Skeletons have no gender so it is a easy way to avoid to have gender diversity into the AI. The basic skeleton structure is anyways always the same in the game.

Oh i also forgot to mention evil mermaids , so here it comes:

You could get reputation or doubloons into epic boss encounters on the ground of the sea. If you fight into underwater caverns , ruins and shipwrecks against evil mermaids( and against one Boss AI) .Besides of that there could be also some sort of
riddles they must be solved to be able to get the underwater treasures they get's defendet by mermaids.

I add also a summary of all ideas to the original Post above.
