So recently I've been thinking about what could be added to Sea Of Thieves to give the community something to enjoy when The Arena arrives. And I thought of an idea.
You and your crew are casually sailing along, getting ready to cash in your latest spoils when a red glow begins to form in the distance. You're interested, but you continue on, intent on increasing your rep. That's when the seas in the distance begin to boil, clouds in the sky turning red with flame and ash, hot rain falling from above. Islands surrounding this aquatic hell suffer to, hot geysers and lava scouting from the cracked ground. And from the depths comes Captain Flameheart.
The environment itself would be extremely dangerous, the surrounding sea essentially acting as a storm you normally see in the world (waves would be bigger, lots more wind,) however the sea would be flaming red and ash would fall from the sky, along with the possibility of smaller lava rocks.
This fight of course would be extremely difficult and would most definitely require multiple crews to get the job done. Flame hearts ship itself would have 4 floors including the top deck, making it much harder to sink.
Atop the ship would be 5 cannons on each side along with two at the front, like Blackbeard's in POTC 4, and these cannons would be flaming hot, causing lava to spew from leaks in the hull until repaired, damaging the ship and players. The water around captain flamehearts ship would also be similar to that of the Forsaken Shores, hurting players which attempt to board slightly. To ensure there is a level of balance to the fight however on board the ship would be a very vast supply of bananas, planks and cannonballs.
The skeletons on board the ship would be different also, all of them volcanic and glowing with fire, meaning that unless put out with water, hitting then with a sword will harm the player. (not my idea but I thought it was great.) The captain himself would be completely invincible for the fight, surrounded by a fiery aura, as killing captains usually doesn't do a whole lot anyway and two of his favourite captains will be by his side, guarding him watchfully.
The fight would reward the players involved with unique cosmetics, doubloons and of course a lot of loot which would most likely include several new items to sell along with old reoocuring loot. I would love to see a real attempt at a "raid boss" in the game where players would really have to communicate and work hard with each other, as well as the possibility of giant PVP battles in the midst of a firestorm.
