This has been said multiple times and not only by me but by many MANY others, season 13 proves that the direction they're going with the cosmetics is completely wrong.
Let's just say, hypothetically, that I do not enjoy hourglass and that I was only interested in getting the curse, is that so hard so imagine?
Most of the cosmetics are unlocked through pvp, the cosmetics who are not unlocked by pvp can be counted on a pair of hands, there is no difference from one skelly to another, most skelly players I meet all look the same!!!
You can't give us a blindfolded hat without giving us a freaking normal one!
Same goes with jackets, completely absent, you get one at servant level 130, then 350 for the new obsidian captain one.
You see where I'm going right? YOU CAN'T LOCK THESE COSMETICS BEHIND SOME CRAZY GRINDS WITHOUT AT LEAST HAVING SOME OPTIONS OF BASE CUSTOMIZATION, there aren't!!!!!
A freaking starfish on your head requires you to sink 500 ships, 500 SHIPS.
I mean do you think there's no problem??
If you want to lock some cosmetics behind grinds it's ok, it's good and all games do it, but in this case the curse lacks customization and you shouldn't lock the only cosmetics that give you a little distinction from other skelly's behind these grinds, it's just stupid and unfair!
Unfair you say? Just get good!
alr but what if I don't enjoy the gamemode? Should I just enjoy it by that logic?
For me the hourglass grind has been like work, I didn't enjoyed a second of it, it was horrible.
And guess what, I still don't enjoy it, I play sea of thieves to relax and have fun, it's a freaking game, why should I be penalized because of that??
Just add more non pvp related cosmetics to the skeleton curse, I'm not asking for anything crazy but we desperately need more.
Skeleton curse customization is [mod edit]
That's the point of the curse, it is supposed to represent you as a PvP HG enjoyer. Rare clearly doesn't intend for people to have it if you don't want to do what is needed to unlock it. I'm also mostly about chill sailing, and i represent that with the gold curse, sunken curse and umbra's tattoos, amongst other things. Sometimes i even get compliments from PvP curse people because i put up a decent fight wearing mostly PvE cosmetics. I get the skeleton curse looks cool, but that's just the way it works.
What i do think is that HG could be improved in a couple of ways, including ways to get more XP in it with daily/weekly quests, or ways to make it more fun and less repetitive. If it's more enjoyable to play HG, more people would automatically unlock more of the PvP curse stuff.
