Prestige System

@p5yanide prestiging is a terrible idea. There is already plenty to work on after capping level.
Complete all xbox achievements.
Complete a commendations.

Come back when done with that list, we can forgive not killing the Ghost as its fake.

Ok I have done all that, can I get a prestige system now?

No you get to join the rest of us and finally get the to play the game. You can put the compulsion down and just do what ever you want.

On a serious note, how many of us are there do you think?

When you attain PL you have these options:

• Do the achievements (which now unfairly gate you from 100%)
• Do the commendations (of which 90% are tedious grinds, 8% are completely trivial, 1% are fun and 1% are borderline impossible)
• climb the emissary ledger (and realise you can never compete with those who have 24 hours a day to play the game)
• Or just play (which gets a bit stale if you have no goals)

So here's my idea for a 'prestige' system.

Every season, people at level 75 can unlock a special prestige thingy. It has a cost of 1,000,000 gold to begin it.

You can now level to level 100. And each level will reward you with stuff. Like special voyages or cosmetics and AC.

For example, every 5 levels you get a special quest. For example, a map leading to entirely cursed chests, or a vault filled with nothing but mermaid gems or a shipwreck with 5 Reaper chests

Then upon purchasing this levelling thing you get a special cosmetic (randomised from all the possible ones) This is a special one. It begins as plain (like a default one) but every level it changes colour based on your company.

• GH: item slowly becomes shiny gold
• OS: item slowly turns purple
• MA: item slowly turns blue
• AF: item slowly turns glowy green
• RB: Item slowly turns glowy red

Upon reaching level 100, the item will have fully changed colour.

Also purchasing the extra levels carries other benefits:

• Doubloons and AC every few levels

• Gold gains are doubled for your crew (to encourage playing with others perhaps)

Then at level 100, you will receive a final voyage, that leads you all over the place doing events to get a big pile of faction loot. Along with a title to say you reached it and maybe some new sails.

The idea here is that every season you have something to level to. You unlock a specially coloured cosmetic and some more exciting voyages than "20 captains chests"

This whole thing is clearly in need of some balancing, etc. But I think an expensive (ish) thing for high level players to limirt-break reputation could be decent.

I don’t understand people making new pirates to have a new experience.

I have yet to see any pirate 100% the achievement list or commendations. And if you havnt done that yet, you still got things left to do. Why bother resetting?

@burnbacon wait, you’ve not seen any Pirate 100% the achievements or commendations? I can introduce you to some if you like.

For plenty of people it's the shrouded ghost thing which just isn't fun to deal with, but with prestige it'd allow people who are hunting for it on their main account to still have the joy of seeing their reputation go up get the commendation for the ghost when it appears instead of having to deal with it being on an alt account with nothing to show on their main account, which I could understand having all your special things on one account

I like the idea, I suggested it a while ago but both times then and here have got a terrible response.
I don't think people get the idea that:

1. It's optional
2. It's for nothing more than seeing your rep go up (which personally I miss seeing. Turning in loot seems absolutely pointless cause I have gold, I'm max level, but hey I need to do it for the emissary ledgers which doesn't show my progress until I check the page. No where near as satisfying as seeing that little circle fill up and go boom when it hits a new level.

That's because 90% of them are uninventive and tedious grinds and the last 10% are borderline impossible.

Don't mind the idea, the only abuse I can quickly think of is grinding out each faction 250 voyages completed with the lower quality but shorter and easier versions of the voyages. It's what I'd do for definite
