Love what they've done with reaper chests.

  • Just wanted to give some positive feedback. I used to just ignore the reaper's chest fountain as they were just a random bit of loot that wasn't really worth the trouble. Now, I see the fountain as a thing on the map I might want to engage with, like a world event or another ship.

    I'd love to see more changes like this. They make the server feel alive and busy and exciting. I love loading into a new sea and scanning the horizon and seeing a bunch of things are already happening without me. It makes the world feel more real and shared.

    Maybe they could do something similar with Reaper's Bounty? Make it a piece of content you can interact with instead of just a piece of loot? Maybe the reaper's mark flag could raise a fountain as well?

    Even if I'm not interacting with them directly, I like getting on with my own quests and seeing things appear and disappear on the map, on the horizon, and in the sky, that remind me that I'm in a world with other players, all having their own adventures.

  • Aye, the new commendations of opening up the chest at different locations adds a new twist on the formula and a reason to collect them after completing the Reapers Riches 240 turn ins.
    Was initially going to ignore these commendations then found out the events don't actually need to be ACTIVE when opening to get the comm.

    Also for crews that don't mind a big target on their back the opened chest is a nice gameplay addition when tackling stationary world events - or for the lolz put it onto PvE ships.

  • You used to be able to pretty readily find Reaper Chests after killing a Skeleton Captain at a small island and digging up the Skeleton Orders the defeated Captain dropped. Not any more. Since last Thursday's update, I've been keeping track: 26 small island skelly captains dispatched and only 1 Reaper Chest unearthed. (Of the remaining 25, I got 21 storage crates and 4 megakegs.) Now I just server hop for Reaper Chests in shipwrecks. FoTDs would probably be as fast or faster.

  • @pc-monkfish I like the mix up too. Though the only comm that feels off is the one where you have to open it in a shrine/treasury. That one seems kind of tedious.

  • @i-marmot-i

    Yeah I've never done a shrine or treasury lol. Leaving your ship with no visibility of approaching danger seems antithetical to a sailing game. Will leave them to the end.

  • I had a great fight on the BB with one. My skellies fighting theirs, pretty eptic.

  • I hate the new reaper chests meta.

    People just use them for hourglass and it makes fights so annoying.

  • I've been using them to have a skeleton crew on my skeleton ship since I got the skeleton curse.

  • @xdragonman15558

    OOOOFt.

    I don't hourglass but I guess it must make good anti-boarding protection. Pretty unbalanced in that game mode. A box of automatic respawning bone callers.
