Ice Biome

  • Wouldn’t it be great to be sailing and in the middle or edge of the map go through a blizzard, smashing your ship through the ice, trying not to get stuck. Polar bears awaiting you on the ice, you break through with the hull of your ship. Blizzards making you have slightly worse vision would be cool too. This would be great for lore, ice pets or frozen shipwrecks, hidden smugglers representatives in the ice, fishing camps for the hunters call, even treasure frozen in the ice.

    It wouldn't.

    As someone who passionately hates winter and everything cold related, the last thing I want to look at in SoT is winter related stuff - except for Xmass decorations and a few nonsensical player skins. No ice, no snow, no polar bears, no penguins, no blizzards, no Eskimos. Nope.

    SoT is my virtual escape to the Caribbean (to be more precise - return, while I'm not physically there), and I want it to stay that way.

    It wouldn't. Ice has no place in the Caribbean climate, and that is one of the very few lines I draw when it's about SoT content.

    Add even deserts though it wouldn't make much or any sense, or Amazon-like jungles for all I care, but no snow and ice tyvm.

    I like my SoT warm. Or volcano hot. 😂

  • @polarsteamtv

    And how would this make sense in the middle of the Caribbean??

  • @drgn-sot

    Doesnt but players been demanding this without care. Always Ice...which odd choice.

  • Darn. Gotta reset the counter for the "ice biome" suggestion.

    Half the map is the complete opposite of the Caribbean already 🤦Do you only stay in the Ancient Isles and Shores of Plenty?
    The Wilds is a much colder biome. Siberian climate, almost tundra. It's just not snowing there...yet.

  • The only way I'd want there to be an "ice biome" is if occasionally The Devil's Roar "froze over" and the landscape changed to ice/winter themed stuff. Maybe for a couple weeks per season or something?

    But do I want to see a WHOLE NEW biome added to a map that already is way too big for the few number of ship that are on it? No. Absolutely not.

    Luckily, there is Valheim to fulfil your snowy pirate aka viking roleplay fantasies, and a few other games as well. 😁 So what are you waiting for? Buy it while it's still on sale lol. Outside of some weird short term apocaliptic event, snow and ice have no place in SoT which is....

    ...Exactly this.


    Facepalm all you want, majority of players would rather see anything else added than an ice biome.

    Welcome to the forum. It has a search option. You might as well use it to check how were suggestions like this one perceived. 😂

    Valheim is boring and completed years ago. But thanks for the recommendation!

    I'm facepalming at you contradicting yourself. Do you even know what you want?
    You say you want SOT to be Caribbean climate only, yet 2 out of 4 already existing biomes have nothing in common with the Caribbean. Half the map is already grey and gloomy.

    In the last comment you then agree with Sweetsandman about accepting an ice biome if it just happens occasionally as a time limited event, right after saying "snow and ice have no place in SOT".

    So, which one is it? Snow, no snow, just a little snow, a lot of snow?

    I don't care about an ice biome. I have never asked for one to ever be added. I just thought it was funny how you completely contradicted yourself, and then you came back and did it again in this comment.

    Welcome to the forum! I'll see myself out as you don't really need me here, because you are discussing, debating and contradicting yourself ❄️🌨️☃️🏔️⛷️

  • Please avoid engaging in personal arguments and derailing the topic of the thread. It is fine to debate the content of the post, and the viewpoints therein, but disrespecting any of your fellow pirates personally is against the pirate code, and our forum rules.

  • @kashmero

    Well, you have mods to help you get back to it 😁

    I'm facepalming at you contradicting yourself. Do you even know what you want?

    Yep. No (new) ice bioms.

    You say you want SOT to be Caribbean climate only, yet 2 out of 4 already existing biomes have nothing in common with the Caribbean. Half the map is already grey and gloomy.

    Debatable. Some have more, some less in common. Ice got nothing common with the Caribbean. 😂

    In the last comment you then agree with Sweetsandman about accepting an ice biome if it just happens occasionally as a time limited event, right after saying "snow and ice have no place in SOT".

    Nah. Accepted an event. Not a whole new biome. That's a big difference.

    I still think ice has no place in SoT, but I could entertain the idea of a stupid event.

    In case you haven't noticed, OP asked for NEW ICE biome. Not a rework of Devil's Roar.

    Nice try to twist my words and pick them out of context though. Sadly, this is working only on Reddit or Bluesky. 😁

    So, which one is it? Snow, no snow, just a little snow, a lot of snow?

    No snow if possible, at all. Def no new ice biome. Ice event, that won't last long and maybe only affects Devil's roar - I could make peace with it.

    I don't care about an ice biome. I have never asked for one to ever be added. I just thought it was funny how you completely contradicted yourself, and then you came back and did it again in this comment.

    You seem to care enough to start arguing about it. But sure, it's my "contradictory" narrative that made you type so much 😂

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out! 👋 And make sure to dress well, it's probably cold outside. Unlike in the Caribbean 😁


    @Look-Behind-You All good on my end mate, took nothing personal from Kashmero's comments! We're still in the realms of just debating and a playful banter, and hopefully it stays that way. 😅

  • @r3vanns

    Thanks for sharing all those thoughts!
