Game Direction

I would be happy for a season of patches to fix bugs and revamping old content features to be more user friendly.

Hit reg as always.

Buy all options on supplies and commodities. Less set up and fiddling around, more time playing the game.

Allow captain ships to automatically spawn with the extra supplies pre-purchased. Less set up and fiddling around, more time playing the game.

Make playing accross regions more stable/even. I like playing with friends in the US, EU and NZ/OZ but it seems like the efforts to fix hit reg has made this worse.

Make siren song a dive to voyage that puts several crews on the same map. Will recapture the intense PvP it had on release.

Each day a faction and voyage gets double rep and rewards. Makes old content pop up, e.g. merchant lost shipments , means reapers will get their steals.

Give all world events a small e.g. 5% but increasing chance to drop a Chest of fortune +2-5%. Once it spawns and is picked up by a player the percentage resets to 5%. If it hits 100% then the next world event is a FOF.

As a side question, has it felt weird having NDA lifted? Its not stopped feeling like walking on egg shells since, its kind of funny to me.

Still feels weird to me I can talk about seeing a dodo in an insider build the other week as a temp placeholder for the new smugglers character models and it won’t get me nuked out of the programme! XD

@tesiccl We can finally talk about the giraffe? Wander is going to be free to the public?

Hearing they intend to return to old content is honestly the best news in years for this game!

That is very vague, what do they mean "Old content" stuff they were working on and gave up? Tried and decided not to add? Or going back and updating old stuff.

The biggest reason i think this is mostly from the new NDA release. This is going to get more eyes on actual up coming content to help at least get a community feel for upcoming features.

That and Rare got tired of everyone spoiling the future stuff anyways, breaking the NDA rules. :P So Insiders isn't really insiders anymore. Just a beta testing ground "anyone can play" or should.
Now of course, there are Partner content that wont be revealed, or stuff they will hold off until the big reveal.

I have been fairly burnt out on the stagnant nature of the game recently after having what was one of the worst content nerfs (not value, just replayability imo) with the voyage rework.

Im not burnt out myself, but after awhile...when they start dumbing down achievements, grinds and other things that 'should' keep you going. It gets to the point, I might as well wait until they do so and then punch the content out within a few weeks instead of month/year.
I wish they stop doing that. (Big example is releasing a grind achievement, week into it they cut the requirements in half) Why bother making it 300 begin with and drop it down to 150....

I hope they start making the game a Grind again, Day 1, 2018 grind. Keep me going back and finishing my goal
