People fight hard over Chest of Fortunes to complete their commendations and get new cosmetics and I think thats awesome, I would love a new chest that gives us a hefty amount of Doubloons that we can fight over in a similar fashion, its so hard to earn doubloons while getting gold is an easy feat. Give us a chest of Doubloons worth like 400-800 each or something in that nature I guarentee a lot of people would fight for them, especially if commendations and cosmetics were also locked behind them
New Treasure Worth Fighting For
its so hard to earn doubloons while getting gold is an easy feat.
Playing the full season gives large amount, early commendations and achievements. Not hard, players just over look them.
Now making those high value, over 100 is little over priced. It would slowly turn into yet another easy to earn, and cheesing items.People fight hard over Chest of Fortunes to complete their commendations and get new cosmetics
Havnt seen a single player at the new fortress... it one of those grand hits and its over. Got everything, unlocked everything. :p
MAYBE..tho, if they added Secret chest that randomly appeared or spawned with no knowledge of when. These chests would offer Doubloons or huge gold payout.
If you play for long enough Dabloons loose all meaning as well. The only thing keeping me getting loot is accomodations and PvP. For instance I always vote on the Skull of Siren Song, and will try to stop whomever I find doing it. Its not fair to them to miss out on the PvP experiance I got to have.
We only need the chest of fortune, but it would also be a new chest and work something like this:
Server starts:
1st world event up is the fleet, it has a low chance (e.g 2%) of spawning a Chest of Fortune and it ends up with normal loot.
2nd world event skelly fort, 4% CoF,
3rd ashen 6% CoF
4th fleet again 8% Cof etc.
8th a ghost fleet with 16% hits with CoF
9th burning blade 8% (except all treasure is locked behind the gate until defeated)
10th fleet 10% etc.This keeps going and if it ever hits something like 60% then a FoF Occurs at 100%
Any contested world event has a chance to become a mega stash via a dig up quest. For a event with a CoF this is a bonus two CoF. For all others this is another Rare item ranging from a supply crate with Rare fish & curse balls to CoF or BoWS. This dig up quest is global. Meaning any crew within the World events radius when finished will get the map added to their radial.
Currently loving the new fort, every one i have done has been contested, even last night.
Eny treasure or commendation are as rare, worth fighting for as rewards they bring in.
In cosmetics driven game without proper drop of gold shop cosmetics gold lost all it's value.
IMO lot of commendation sets and cosmetics (as side note they are dripfeeded to us ) they are most time not worthy because they look goofy, over the top not like popculture pirate or gold age of piracy clothing so again worthless.
That cheapen the stakes a lot for me.
Bring. Us. Gold shop cosmetics on level of year one.. not another paid sub or recoloured stuff in emporium.
