QoL: Pet Keybinds and Supply Crate Voyages

  • Hope y'all are having a good day.

    These aren't novel ideas but continue to be recurring issues.

    Pets:
    How many pets do you own? I have 23 that are rarely equipped because ship interaction points are the same bind as pet interaction. Making the mistake of picking up a cat called "Purrito" instead of the wheel costs precious seconds which could result in an enthusiastic nose dive into a broad side.

    I'd love to see an option to bind a different key to pets or to disable their interaction all together.

    Message in a bottle Quests | Supply Crate / Keg turn in comms:
    There are achievements and/or comms to turn in kegs and supply crates on behalf of the Merchant's on time, Cannon balls / Wood / food / kegs.

    Merch voyages no longer contain these.
    Tattered Parchments found in barrels have also since been removed.
    Messages in Bottles are now rare due to the Smuggler's voyages virtually replacing them.
    But even if you can find a Message in Bottle or a Mysterious Journal, there's a small chance you get one of these voyage types, but most likely you'll end up with a Order of Souls Bounty or a dig which could've been voted for on the voyage table.

    Ideally we get crates and kegs back in rotation in Merchant voyages, and/or Messages in Bottles, Mysterious Journals always containing this voyage type.
    Iirc, about a year ago or more it was said that a fix was in the works, but I haven't heard of anything recently.

  • I love having my pets out too, but the only reason I never do anymore is because of that. Pets are awesome and can be a really cool option for roleplay in the world, but when I actually want to play the game I have to put them away because I will very often grab them instead of the wheel or instead of the sails, which has also caused me to crash several times.

    It pains me to no end how many times I have forcibly derailed a session to get those merchant bottle quests done the rare time you get them. My friends hate when we get one and I just take off with the rowboat and go do it because they are so rare. I've been brig'd over it twice and they learned to just let me do the quest after the second boat also burned down mysteriously. Nothing short of the Shrouded Freaking Ghost is worth making me stop doing one of those quests because of how rare they are. Please just give us ways to do old content Rare

  • It is really odd how they’ve never given us the option to change the key bind or at least use a different default. I’ve mentioned this over the years and it never came so I gave up and no longer buy pets.
