Ahoy!
A few months ago, I asked you guys what you thought would happen about the CoF. (what world event, what cosmetics, etc) lots has changed since then. So, I wanted to ask you again a day before S10, what are your predictions for the CoF?
Old thread:
Poll: CoF Predictions
Happy Sailing!
I feel like the last stage should be FotD.
Personally, I think a Gilded CoF voyage, similar to the Gilded Athena voyage, would be amazing. 2 islands, always the same, and then a third randomized island for the 3 CoFs. There was something electric about the knowledge that there was a Gilded in your server, and I can imagine it was the same feeling when you put that voyage down and voted on it. Of course, the fact that you only got 1 gilded per year made it even more important. Maybe the ability to only purchase one every 7 days or something?
I think the CoF shouldn't be exclusive to a specific world event. Just have every world event have a change of spawning the CoF (for instance every world event has a 25% of having a CoF).
One of the problems is people constantly hopping servers looking for that one single world event they need. This is problematic because other servers keep having 1 or more slots that are just taking up by people imidiately leaving because there isn't a FoF (this on top of the people doing hourglass dives). On the other side the servers with a FoF are being swamped by very highly skilled players, making it very frustrating for the casual playerbase to go after that world event and try and find a CoF.
And the other world events are still not interesting enough, especially considering the risk/reward structure.
By having the CoF have a chance to spawn in every world event, every world event becomes interesting and server hopping just to get the correct world event would drastically reduce.

The good thing about server hoppers is that there will always be a risk to doing a CoF world event. The entire point of it is to be a PvP fest, and a hard-to-get commendation. Like the old days with 3-4 crews fighting over a skeleton fort! This is why the CoF is perfect as a moving event reward: It makes underused world events more interesting, and gives a ton of reasons for everyone to fight over it.
If it had a 25% chance of spawning at any world event, it would just be a PvE commendation, because you would have a lot lower chance of being attacked at any event.
