[Question for Joe] Have you considered expanding upon the merchant alliance, where we could buy and sell goods between different outposts using fluctuating market prices?
I can imagine rocking up to the market and seeing planks are cheap so I buy 500 of them. I get my crew to load the crates onto the ship and I take them to another outpost who are buying them for a profit. Oh wait they only want 300. Ok I’ll take the rest to another outpost. On the way the Kraken sinks my ship, oh no! All my cargo is floating away. Damn! I shouldn’t have bought so much!
Will pets only be able to be bought with microtransactions or can we use gold?
Is legendary ship another skin of the ship? Or is it actually a different ship?
[Question for anyone] Will there more Sea Monsters in the future, or will the Kraken be the only one?
Will there be an Addition of Minigames like Dice or Cards?
Have you thought about having more than one active voyage? It would be nice to look for treasure at the same time as I'm hunting for chickens.
Will there be some sort of anti-cheat implemented at launch? Like Microsoft's TruePlay? I hope basic low hanging fruit like Cheat Engine will be blocked.
Can you confirm, without spoiling any specifics, if we will see more than the Kraken's tentacles at launch if we encounter it?
Can you expand on what type of items will be in the microtransaction shop? Will outfits be in there?
As a pioneer, will we be utilized for future content tests?
How frequent will updates be after launch?
The Ebon Flintlock pistol skin was given out for live attendees to the Inside XBOX stream on mixer. So many of us were unable to attend. Will it be made available on future (similar) streams in the future? Or are we out of luck?
Can we change hair color?
Have you guys considered adding a notification showing when group members join and leave?
Are we able to keep sword lungeing across the sea like the betas? it was half the fun!
The water? Just..how...why so pretty?
You have done something CGI movies even can not perfect. How did you do it?!
In the full game will there be an option to customize tattoos? I feel like tattoos were a huge part of pirate culture and would be pretty upset if you have absolutely no control over them. Would it be something you'd consider adding in the future if it isn't available at launch? I think adding tattoos to a pool of unlockables will be great when completing milestones such as killing the kraken, achieving max level in gold hoarders, ect.
Will the drum and fiddle be in the game at launch?
Will legendary ships only be for the galleon? Or will you be able to get one as a sloop?
Does the kraken have a full body under the water or is it all tentacles?
Two questions:
Are you guys going to visually add anchors?
How bout them rowboats?
Can you give us a good ol' "Sea of Tease" of the first in-game event?
Do you plan on doing more with The Ship of the Dammed? or Pirate Ghosts in the world, in the future?
How is Kato after the surprise announcement recently?
Thanks for doing this AMA! I want to know what exactly is the Grog our pirates are drinking; is it some sort of Mojito rum cocktail or an India Pale Ale? The bubbles in the mug suggest a brew...
What about fishing? It would be nice to have a additional option for voyages that would need me to catch some fish. I know it won’t be there at release but is something like this planned or even on the table?
Will we be able to have more than one pet at a time?
What surprised you most while developing the game? Thanks!
Classic overused question: Monkey or Parrot?
Can you name your ship I notice the plaque above the captains quarters?
Why is the brig on the sloop? It seems like a waste of space I could be using otherwise.
Are Naval battles intended to be battles of attrition or outright domination?
After many, many rounds of ship combat, we had more than a few where competent teams are able to keep a boat floating after a severe broadside on the lower deck. That's fine if it's an all hands on deck situation, but as it stands, bailing and patching feels extremely fast and can be handled by one pirate. Should we approach battles as lasting as long as cannonballs/boards last? Or to destroy as fast as possible?
I saw some Rare Tea on a screenshot. Hint? ;)
Will there be any expanding on ship customization?
Answer: "Mike: Yes :)"
Will there be NPC's that give voyages/quests besides the trading companies, and can we expect to see quests for escorting NPCs back to outposts or anything along those lines
You've spoken frequently about looking at adding content down the road (every 3 months or so?). Can we expect to see a published roadmap after launch that outlines a number of features that are penned to be released over the next 12 months?
Thanks for the Answers :)
Will update as new ones role in
