One Piece Collab with Sea of Thieves

@fedted998 I feel one piece is a lot more fitting than halo that was brought into the game. king ... Pirate (lord) same shiz different smell. I would say no to zelda as is has no feature that resembles a pirate life

@fedted998 your saying an elf rescuing another elf in a fairy land would fit the "aesthetic" better than an actual pirate related collab 0.o I dont about you but thats just as confusing as saying " we should have rocket league cars in sea of thieves because the aesthetic is nice".

I dont think you read anything i wrote other than "One Piece" and " lets hear your views"

From a cosmetics standpoint we've had ship sets based around less 'pirate-y' themed ideas and some of them even turned out kinda cool.

Not even counting the Emporium ship sets inspired by Rare heritage games (Battletoads, Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Viva Piñata, Sabre Wulf and Kameo), we've gotten cool sets based around other video games like State of Decay, Borderlands, Gears of War, Bleeding Edge, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and not one, but TWO different Halo themed sets.

I'm much more prohibitive in my thinking regarding STORYLINE crossovers needing to be thematically compatible with the SoT setting.

But as far as simple COSMETICS go?

I say bring it on!! If it's cool, I'll buy it (or earn it if it's Twitch- or event-releated).

@mr-nismox frankly no.

The Pirates Life was a flop.
The Monkey Island was a flop.

Neither did anything to add to the game in a meaningful way. I'd rather they just focus on the flamheart story and stop trying to bring in outside influences. Once the tall tales are done and the reward is recieved they do nothing to further the gameplay loop.

Heck I'd rather they just focus on gameplay additions that make sense than add another tall tale.

@captain-coel

Neither one were flops.
Pirates life introduced the shrines and sirens.
Monkey island has introduced and tested zip-lines, there are also a couple of things in the game that might come out of it in different forms.

The 'root-beer', is similar to and different from, the ashen winds skull, might lead to something down the road.
The 'Ancient Art' could be the gateway to other types of interactions on SOT.
If you hadn't noticed, there was also the proof of concept of a crafting system in the tall tale.

These tall tales have served as isolated test beds for new ideas. If they flop they stay within the tall tale, if they succeed there's a chance that the feature eventually makes its way into the open game.

@tybald test beds sure. but the bulk of the assets for them are useless on a regular basis. All of that could easily be tested elsewhere. Long term there is no reason to ever go back to those tales.

They were soul less extensions of Sea of Thieves that barely felt like the game we play. They never made me feel like anything other than an accessory to a story.

I'd rather they shelve the tall tale model permanently than do any more cross overs with stories.

@d3adst1ck

It's proof of concept.

It was an object, that took a specific number of various different items, and after getting the correct amount of different items, produced an Item. The 3rd tall tale offered a slight evolution on the one in the 1st, in that in TT1 it was A + B + C. Where in TT3 it was transform Bananas (by cooking), then add to pot, add other ingredients (multiple amounts!), then use a last ingredient to contain it to get a new item out.

Is it a fully fledged crafting system? No. But is it absolutely a mechanical demonstration of the features needed for a crafting system. If we were to see a live system in high seas, it would need to cover those things, and I would suspect that the cooking pot would be some sort of "ancient altar" equivalent, and alot more set dressing. The real work on a crafting system is then in designing the actual inputs and outputs, along with the uses for said outputs. That isn't what was done in TT3, what was demonstrated was that they could produce a working mechanical system.

@captain-coel tall tales are great and should remain. I'm currently going through them with a new player. Lots of fun.

No it wouldn’t work. Besides I think we’ve hard enough crossover for now

Don't get me wrong but how are you considering these a flop? A Pirates life release actually helped sot sell copies and brought people back. Monkey Island i can possibly see being considered a miss due to it's a game most people don't know due to the age of it even though it's been released like 100 times. Both added new features to the game in a box like the zip lines etc. that is true. Honestly i had this talk with people here and mods in private about the tall tales and i agree with you. I like the ones i have played (i have not finished pirates life working on it.) I finished monkey island. These are great as a break from the main game but add nothing to the greater sea of thieves other then the testing grounds kinda thing people are stating. The shores of gold i loved as they built on the lore of the sea of thieves the only thing i hated here was the do every chapter 5 times for the completion reward( I am glad to see this go away). But yes your right and I have stated it before as well it does nothing for the gameplay loop.

no joke it kinda bugs me in a certain way that we can have some areas hand made that basically we will never have in the actual game. I would love to see more islands or a new region instead of giant one off maps that are a one and done. How nice would it be to have a city style island like port merick or melee island that is kinda a push pull game play between Athena and reaper of bones controlling it. Reworking the roar some or adding a new region etc.

@metal-ravage who?

@captain-wolf348 elaborate how it wouldn't work

@fedted998 all im gonna say your argument isnt aligning at all

@captain-coel Never said anything about adding a tall tale or story ? only cosmetics 0.0

@captain-coel i never mentioned anything about adding stories ?

@rastafied-420 I feel their is a lot of gate keeping in the forums my dude, usually there is 99 percent negativity and 1 percent positive. its great idea, but especially it being the new pirate attraction at the moment. I didnt mention anything in regards to tall tales or stories but if this did pass it would be cool but i was more focusing on the aesthetics of clothes and items

PLEASE MAKE THAT A FORUM RIGHT NOWWW, BINKS CREW NEEDS TO BE ON HERE!!!! i cant believe i didnt think of that!!!

I would ADORE this.

However, I think given the licensing rights for the anime, the more likely scenario is that we get a cosmetic crossover tied with the live-action Netflix series (which I'd be fine with too, honestly).

Xbox/Microsoft have already teamed up with Netflix One Piece to make the special edition One Piece Xbox, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Microsoft collaborated with them further, and we'll get a future One Piece cosmetic crossover.

Even if it's just a Netflix Going Merry ship set, I'd be happy. But I would love it if we got: Going Merry and Red Force ship cosmetics, Straw Hat Crew clothing, Maybe Zoro's swords as cutlasses, Usopp's slingshot as a pistol, and a stand-alone Straw Hat cosmetic.

I do not think (nor do I want) a full, Tall-tale centric crossover. I think a purely cosmetic crossover is the most likely, and I'd be fine with it. Furthermore, I have asked/vouched for One Piece cosmetics pretty vocally on Twitter, and both Mike Chapman and Joe Neate have replied, playing coy with the idea (where they normally and politely shut down ideas that aren't coming to the game).

I think it will eventually happen.

@fedted998 I mean truthfully, it wouldn't be much different than creating ship sets for Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Borderlands, Halo, etc. There's a distinct SoT art style, and it's just a matter of making whatever style, form to that.

That said, the live action One Piece would be easier to transition to SoT, I feel.

@metal-ravage Respectfully disagree. That's a sun hat lol, not a straw hat.

@mr-nismox
I've noticed typically you will hear people's opinions more often when they don't agree with you. If their views don't match yours, they will tell you why they feel a different way than you, and try to give you a different perspective.

If they do agree with you or think it is a good idea, they might not say anything since they might not have anything important to add. You might get an upvote and nothing else.

I'm fully aware you did not suggest a TT crossover like Pirate's Life or Monkey Island, so I can only assume you don't want something on that scale. I agree we shouldn't get more crossovers like that. I don't want to see our Sea of Thieve's world more diluted than it already is. The more we bring in other games and media to exist within the sea of thieves, the less it will feel like sea of thieves. I don't want the game I love to be watered down with Disney or anime themes.

If you strictly just want some cosmetics inspired by other media, I don't see anything wrong with that. Rare already opened pandora's box with crossover ship sets.

Frankly I can't stand anime. I know a bunch of you just jumped up from your chair and are about to tell me all about this show or that show and tell me I have to watch it and I'll love it.

No. I won't do it.

I find it excruciating just trying to watch a nickelodeon show with my son that is clearly heavily influenced by anime. I can't bring myself to play FF7 Remake because I'm afraid it will tarnish the memories I have of the original game by removing everything I had imagined as a kid.

My friend said he attempted to watch one piece, not the live action one, and despite him actually liking anime sometimes, he couldn't watch it. If an actual fan of anime couldn't stomach it, I imagine I would hate it. If it came to sea of thieves, I would see it as a big black spot in our game that couldn't be removed.

You want a hat, outfit, or ship set? Sounds ok to me.
You want a one piece storyline with characters and plot and dialog?
Please no.

@metal-ravage Cool. It's not the Straw Hat people want though lol, that's the point. Just because we have a type of straw hat, doesn't negate people's hope/wants for a One Piece straw hat, just because others don't want it.
