Create more options to spend doublons at!

  • Earning some doublons through out your adventures is a big part of the game. Until now doublons are only being used to purchase cosmetic items and missions (including the emissary flags). For pirates such as me that have been playing for a while money is not a big deal anymore what makes making money not an important thing for us. When you take out a big part of the game from us, things can get a litle boring. Of course you have the other giant part of the game, the lore, but I would still like to see more uses to the money.

    Having shared my thoughts and presented the main theme of my post, I will introduce some suggestions that i thing can resolve this issue.

    I think that money could start being used to upgrade your boat. A new shop/island could be created, where the main focus is a shipyard theme. Here, players could spend their money upgrading their boats. Some exemples of upgrades that i can think are: Better sails (increases the speed), better quality ropes (sails are lifted and moved faster), better canons (canons deal more damage), better hull (you need to take more damage to get holes in your boat), better storage (here, a normal boat storage would need to be reduced, and boats with a better storage would be abble to carry more items), buy a rowboat that you could start with at the begining of each adventure, ...

    Resuming, these are some of my ideas to make money more usefull. I know that such an amazing and creative team such as you guys can have more ideas to resolve this issue.

    P.S. - "All modifications/upgrades are permanent, and when you start an adventure they would still be there."

  • @flipperabyss15 vertical progression will never be a thing. it is game breaking. One of the best parts of SoT is that all pirates are equal.

    There just needs to be silly expensive cosmetics. 500/1000/5000 each for doubloons

  • I'd like to see a gold/doublon sink but ship upgrades aren't it. The beauty is were all rocking the same gear. Skill and experience turn the tides of battle. I was thinkin titles or ship cosmetics that ya pour it all into.

  • @captain-coel I see your point. But you would be rewarded for the time you are spending in the game. I think that cosmetics aren't a thing worth to put effort in.

    However, this is just a suggestion. My main focus is that we should have more things to spend doublons at, beacuse in my opinion only having cosmetics to buy is not enough, because when you have the ones you like, gathering money is useless and boring.

  • @flipperabyss15 but this game is about skill and learning to play. The fact that all pirates are equal is a corner stone to how it is balanced.

    The moment you make it progressive to spend doubloons or gold thay balance is shattered. Also if the system is designed so there are constantly more and more upgrades or levels to them. Just remember there is always someone richer than you. This will than make it even easier to beat people for their loot.

  • @captain-coel This is also a discussion. What do you thing would make the game more dynamic and make you need more money (when you have your character and boat as you like).

    I will give you a exemple. I have my boat as I want as well as my character, with the cosmetics I like. I have 400k remaining, with nothing to spend on. And making money is not really important any more, what makes me bored sometimes. The only thing i have been doing that keeps me playing the game ar the tall tales, that are amazing and really creative.

    Give me your ideas!

  • @flipperabyss15 expensive cosmetics. cosmetics tied to particular commendations. pl exclusive cosmetic slots.

    When I say expensive im thinking 1-5 mil gold per ot 500/1000 doubloons.

    As far as reasons to keep playing, this game is fun thats why I'm still here

  • Beyond PVP, if you have "grinded" to PL and done the Tall Tells, there is nothing to do in this game and I drop grindy games as I dont grind, I play to have fun and the only thing to do, to have fun is PVP other people.

    So yes, since there needs to be a better purpose to the grind, they need to add more things to buy or better things to do, I would even say they can add more ship types(different looks) without changing the capabilities, I would actually grind for gold/doubloons if I could change the look and feel of my ship(not paint)

    In most grindy games, I have fun upgrading my base or character (like skills/abilities) but there is none of that here, so the only place to go is upgrading the ship and the skins they have is kinda boring. you grind for the look you want and then your set. im not buying different skins just for the sake of having them. I got the ones I want and now im done.

    Back to PVP, or just other games in general when im done ramming ships and fire bombing their sails for no reason.

  • @elderterdkin 100% agreed. Grinding is not for me, and if that grind has no purpose then it's just stupid. Add more things to do with DOUBLONS please, players that have been playing for a while need more things to spend gold at!

  • @flipperabyss15 be careful asking for anything new, you may summon the players that want the game to stay absolutely the same or revert back to beta bean pirate days

  • @flipperabyss15 if you look at playing this game as a grind you are playing wrong. This game is about shenanigans and adventure. Commendations will come as they do. Money will stack up. We just need expensive things to buy.

  • @robby0316 It is my first suggestion, but I can see what you talking about. The game needs changes that will make players put more effort and hours in the game. That are not new cosmetics that will save the game from getting boring. ALL games need a siginficant change sometimes so they can keep people playing it. You can take Fortnite as a good exemple, what would Fortnite be without the season updates?
