Redesign Devils Roar

I visit the DR often because I am working through the commendations. Yes, it could do with a little spruce up. My suggestion would be to give the sky more color. Yes - it's a volcanic region and there will be smoke and grey skies. It gives the region a forbidden and ominous feel, which is appropriate.

I'm saying, have less smoke and haze clouding up the sky. The orange glow of the lava would look contrast nicely against a deep blue night sky, and during the sunrise and sunset.

Never go there unless I have to. It's ugly and depressing.

I wish have a transitions islands between the ancient islands and Devils roar. Like a dead’s volcanoes , cover with the green aesthetic of the ancient . Where only have earthquakes but very rarely. And maybe other island same volcano, green trees but that island will be erupt like 1 time every week in game time .

I do. I like the look of the islands, the details, all that. Well, it is not the Beach-Boys-feeling, fore sure not, but I am often there.

Sorry guy's but i don't agree.

The DR is made to be oppressive and dangerous. When you sail in, you need to be carful of each rock or isle. It's a place who require more skill.

I think that it's cool to have some differents region. This one is dark and smoky, if you want more sun and beach, stay in the Shores of plenty.

Ever since extended ship damage, the Devil's Roar hasn't been about skill, and only been about patience... And death.

That moment when 1 single meteor completely breaks ALL masts, the capstan AND the wheel... And i cannot repair them until the volcano stops erupting, so im just stuck bucketing water until it ends. Happened 3 times now, trying to do the shores of gold.

This is my brain whenever that happens:

If you have no idea what that means, don't worry, that's intentional... I don't know either, i only remember bits and pieces of it... o_.

A little blue sky at night wouldn't hurt. Obviously wouldn't look this good in the game but with the lighting this game has it would still look mint.

I really think the only time people go to DR now of days is for either, Tall tales, commendations, and just the fish. the quest seems to be pointless to do even the PL ones. Sure more gold but painfully more of a task to complete it without sinking so easy. its quite the iorny that people want more places to explore, but when its in game, people stay away from it due to it being a pain to survive in it with destructive 1 hit rocks. The last time I ever sail into DR was for the Lanters stuff so yeah its quite sad

@natiredgals Good one. xD

The DR is yet another example of a project the devs spent a lot of time and resources on but is unpopular. Same reason skull forts spawn far more often than skeleton ship events. The skele ship event turned out to be less lucrative, more resource/time consuming, and more difficult, and yet the devs went all-out with the concept and implementation. PLA10s don’t even get the slightest bit of an upgrade as simple as a rank cap raise and a handful of more cosmetics yet we can now change lantern colors and sit in chairs for dumbloons.

I want more fireworks with my volcanoes it would be cool if rocks were random and shooting them made it so it will explode in a bunch of sparks and cause no harm to ship

@sweltering-nick I disagree. It is about skill. I do solo Athena voyages in the DR quite often, and very rarely do I sink. I do think we should be able to carry more planks now that much more damage can be done to our ships, but I think the DR is actually a better place to be than anywhere else. Athena’s are easier down there, and you get a lot more gold for your hard work.

Not saying i sink, im saying i can't do anything until the volcano stops erupting... Or one of the meteorites actually kill me...

AKA Patience, and Death. xD
