MegaPoll - Bring Back Removed Outfits/Items - Recolored & New Outfits/Items Cost

  • Ahoy there pirates!

    It was sad to find that some of the outfits/items that were included in-game have been removed. Specially for those of you that liked them but didn't manage to get enough money to spend before they... vanished like those Order of Souls skeletons.

    It is also relevant to mention that there is a lot of players who didn't know about this even though they follow they follow Rare or SeaofThieves twitter accounts, as it was not notified as it has been done with other items like the 'Launch Crew' Eye of Reach or the Day 1 Patch.

    Recolored clothes are not 'new outfits' themselves but I am sure that many players have a favorite color when navigating with their ARRmies and that some of players just saw their option disappear like bananas do when finding the Meg in the middle of the sea.

    Therefore, my suggestion is bringing them back reducing the gold amount needed to purchase them (if so, gold amount would have to be fixed for those players that already spent their hard booty earned gold). If done this way, new outfits (different shapes, etc.) would cost more than a simple clothing recolor.

    Another option would be bringing them through the timed events that have started with the Hungering Deep. Some gold + completion of 'smaller events' would allow users to earn this outfits.

    It would be great if a graph (or st similar) could be created to show team feedback from players in an easy way so, please, include one of the following notes before your comment:

    [+1] If you support the idea and why.
    [-1] If not and why.

    Content and customization is what makes this game a treasure, but before all that it comes the players that spread the word, so please share your thoughts!

    UPDATE
    Latest patch deployed brought shipments for the Grand Admiral, Castaway Bilge Rat, Ruffian Sea Dog or Imperial Sovereign but... where is Ruffian Sea Dog Outfit?

    Sea you!

    I agree.
    Bring them back, along with a whole bunch more.
    Basically one for each main colour - like those cheap sails.

    I honestly don't know why they don't just sell dyes and allow you to pick colour from either palettes or a slider, something like in for honour or destiny.

    In that way, they could sell the models as the main item for ludicrously high prices they currently have, and the dye packs for cheap.

    They could even add in quests to collect ingredients and make your own special dyes in certain locations and under certain circumstances.
    For example, collect up one of each thing you need and mix them in the middle of a thunderstorm, in the wilds.
    Whilst underwater.

    Then You get a "skin" with lightning and thorns embroidery.

    You know.
    Something that combines the "content" of cosmetics with the "content" of tasks.

    I totally agree with you.

    I posted it to another mate.

    Content should not be removed if it was published to stay.

    If one side of the community reacts with a different point of view, it is good to take notes for future releases and patches, but maybe there is one side that is enjoying actual content and maybe saving and spending hours (and hours) to get enough money to buy their favourite cosmetics!

    Maybe with new weekly time events and tasks are related to new outfits. It would be a great opportunity to bring back these deleted outfits as maybe some users were left ‘half the way’ to reach their goals...

    What do you think?

  • @personalc0ffee said in MegaPoll - Bring Back Removed Outfits - Recolored & New Outfits Cost:

    I don't support the idea because I would rather they use their time to better improve the game, not bringing back cosmetics that people only care about now, because they can't get them anymore; yet before were all too happy to complain about them being recolors or not good enough.

    They were removed due to the community feedback.

    They are now limited edition pieces and I'd like it to stay that way. Yes, I have a bias for that, as I own them.

    What clothes were removed? I thought only figureheads and swords?

    i imagine if they could just remove them they can probably just add them back. To say everyone had the same complaints though is a bit nonsensical. Really instead of different colors... purchasable dyes might be better but either way we should have a bit more color options.

  • @personalc0ffee if skins are done it would be just re-activating them.

    Team could just leave what was already created and continue improving the game with more content and weekly events as they have started doing with the THD.

    As other mate stated, sure than more than one person has been left with half of a set not being able to complete it... which for many could be a shame.

  • @personalc0ffee they shouldn't?

    I mean, many people are complaining through twitter as there are active users that don't come here 'frecuently' and therefore didn't noticed the announcement.

    Selfish matters should not guide the implementation of content in a game. Those outfits were not meant to be 'limited edition' ones but content to be enjoyed and made to stay.

    Many people knew about it but don't have a huge amount of time to play SoT due to personal duties and couldn't arrive on time. So that also is a relevant fact to take into account.

    Also, as another mate stated, they heard about it as a thought but not something that would be done in the short time.

    There are many facts that made people not getting the full sets and community comments help improve always if they are made from a constructive point of view, not only while contents are active, but also when taken away.

  • @personalc0ffee mate don't take it personally, this is just to know community opinions and it's also great to know yours, leave personal comments aside and enjoy sharing you point of view ;) don't forget this is a game.

  • I made a decision to buy them because they were being removed. We had ample notice. They weren't expensive.

    It's more of a snooze you lose kind of thing.

  • @Coel03 lucky you mate! It was a huge amount!

    Do you still have enough for the new Shark Hunter set that has been released?

    I mean, as you see, this set related to the Hungering Deep has been said to last 'forever' and the other not themed sets were removed even though many re-colored sets can still be found in the Outposts.

    A moot point. I would rather they waste time actually improving the game.

    And it's unlikely to take a way from that if they add the additional colors back in...

  • @savagetwinky I just went from outpost to outpost and it makes no sense at all.

    These recolors have to come back so that the full set can be achieved. There is no sense in leaving these outfits as they are right now, without all the ‘parts’ that make the full set...

    I was impressed because there are so many sets that only change the color but they have been kept... except for those two.

    Hope they put them back next week... I really hope so. I won’t expend a cent till they come back and will be grinding just for those.

  • @crackpotink8417 I wouldn't mind if they do that but I want my money back if they do. I only bought them because they were going to become "exclusives."

  • @xcalypt0x I know many people that didn’t save enough and spent days and nights in order to buy the figureheads...

    It is sad that they have gone away and that you can find half sets on stores.

    I bought ‘Sea Hunter’ full set thinking that it would be exclusive and now they confirmed it is made to stay and I wouldn’t request my gold back, as I am really happy for all those players that were worried about it.

    We should react like a community, it could happen to anyone anytime!

    What do you think?

    Yeah I feel bad for these people. I got lucky because I specifically have not spent any gold since launch because I had a feeling something like this would happen.

    This one is iffy. After reading the Hungering Deep page I was fairly certain they would remain in the game permanently but, I did the same thing as you and bought them just in case. Rare's communication about what was permanent and what was temporary could use some improvement for sure.

  • @crackpotink8417 yes I had enough to buy the shark set on day 1 of THD. Having gotten higher in levels now I find myself making 12-20k an hr solo.

    Gold is really easy to make in this game.

    I just try and keep myself above a certain $ amount so if something is put in I can buy it

  • I'll have to say no but for a different reason.

    If the complaint was that they were just recolors then I would rather them come back down the road in the form of a dye system. If they brought them back now and then added a dye system it would be silly to have a bunch of recolors floating around as base items to dye when you can create them via dye system.

    While I know some recolors still exist as is, ideally they would tackle that however it needs tackled.

    I can't help but feel like they haven't quite figured out how they want to tackle outfits as a system yet so right now it's just a bunch of cool things that got designed. Either they will need a dye system to simplify it or else they need to add a mess of color variants in which case I would change my answer to yes, might as well bring them back.

    Hopefully they figure it out before they get too deep and either have to bring back a bunch of stuff or take out a bunch of stuff in order to fit whatever structure they come up with.

  • @john-hatter I really like that point of view, but would leave original stuff as ‘preloaded assets’ so that users can still spend money on those if they want.

    Except for becoming a Legend and The Hungering Deep, outfits and customization is which makes this game alive (as well as player stories and adventures that are created through the waves). Because of this, stuff that was originally created should remain, as it doesn’t stop the Team from creating new stuff instead of continue re-coloring.

    Finally, some players prefer having ‘nothing’ instead of a set that will never be concluded due to this.

    Regards!
