New Golden Sands - Neutral Zone

  • Kaydence
    Insider

    Like many things in the game, the New Golden Sands Outpost is a brilliant foundation with tremendous potential for greatness, but is instead yet another useless cosmetic facade.

    The design is amazing. It’s beautiful and interesting at every corner. It’s meant to be a thriving “town” but it’s totally empty. Why not have this amazing place be an official neutral zone in SOT where players can meet, socialize, play mini games, duels, crew up and form alliances etc. Have an invisible perimeter extended around the island making all weapons null. Add several ship docks encouraging multiple crews to join.

    They've stated numerous times there will be no safe zones.

    these things always are way different in theory than they would be in application

    servers are nowhere near active enough, and people are nowhere near universally interested enough for this to be a thing on servers

    there just wouldn't be even close to enough activity to make it a thing to consider going back on their - no safe zone- policy

    I'm personally indifferent on it these days, risk/reward has been maintained so poorly (and cheesing has been so enabled) that a lot of the "we will never do this" stuff doesn't make much of a difference in reality nowadays imo

    In the reality of this environment "no safe zones" is just another thing that that really only impacts the people that play organically, there are lots of safe zones and safe play for reward in this game outside of organic play, lol

    What would you propose if players begin taking advantage of the system to troll other players? If a player gets their treasure stolen, does that mean they will be unable to recover it once the attacking player reaches the perimeter? Why should they not be able to counter attack? What would be the point of chasing another crew if they can just reach the outpost no attacking perimeter? Can treasure be stolen of your ship within said perimeter?

    Seems to break lots of previously established gameplay mechanics as you have proposed it. Safe zones is also majorly rejected by the majority of the community and devs.

    Ramming speed!
    Steals your ship.
    Flame ships lol.
    Fires from outside the perimeter.

    That's just the beginning of how we'd mess with everyone there.

    Also, no safe zones.

    I’m dog at PvP, but even I say no to safe zones. They are for pre-schoolers. 😄

    Too the untrained eye, it still not finished.

    It’s meant to be a thriving “town” but it’s totally empty.

    Its unfinished...

    Why not have this amazing place be an official neutral zone in SOT where players can meet, socialize, play mini games, duels, crew up and form alliances etc.

    Have an invisible perimeter extended around the island making all weapons null.

    With the future as it appears, all Outposts are gonna change into this in the future, so you want all outposts to be the same? No thanks.

    I don't know about neutral... but I do think it's time for some law & order and bounties...

    @kaydence I could see a neutral zone but it would need to have no vendors or supplies. Otherwise it would be too easy to dock there are sell loot or use that as a safe resupply.

    @lethality1 He said law and order, get the soap, we need to wash his mouth out :)
