Add Stongboxes

I really don’t understand that need to be as safe as possible when playing a pirate game. The game would be soo boring if we were to implement everything people want. I ve seen Safe storage for kegs, ability to lock yourself downstairs when boarded so you don’t have to fight, ability to raise ladders so no one can board, nerf all weapons, remove the ability to see when reaper 5, and ability to flee with all your loot through portal. The risk is what makes this game fun and produce the best story.

@lafrules Im with you man, i love pvp. I just want more ways to do it. I like the idea of having 1 keg and throwing it during naval is all.

You can literally already do that. You just don't have the safety net you are requesting.

With great (destructive) power comes a bigger risk. If you want to use the kegs, there should be a risk when transporting them. There should always be a balance. This system could also be used to store valuable Athena kegs, without the risk of loosing them (and the ship.) No loot should be protected.

Keep it the way it is.

These used to be used on ships to store explosives and gunpowder safely.

No thanks, Why?

could allow crews to use kegs during Naval combat

You can already do this...why add a feature for something we been doing since D1?

Even drop methods would now be viable. So i could trick a ship into running into a keg or something during Naval.

Again..we can already do this. But with how it is now, at least "tricking" is more a tactics and clever planning.

but this idea would make it viable without being unbalanced.

The Risk = Reward. You risk having a powerful item on your own ship and it blowing yourself up. But a reward if used right can change a battle. So no...

After a quick search, I knew this had been asked before. Within this year it seems.

As someone who loves doing silly keg plays, here's what I'm gonna say; Being able to keep one funny red Barrel safe is not gonna put me at any less risk of blowing up. Still gotta pull it out of the box to use it, risking it getting sniped in my hands, still gotta worry about boarders finding it and lighting the fuse, and- To be entirely honest- I'm probably gonna have more than what I could fit in a strongbox elsewhere on the ship. I get the knee-jerk reaction of saying That this would mess with the balance, but I've gotta disagree. One keg kept safely won't outweigh the five others in the crow's nest.

Funny enough, the biggest change I could see from this isn't PVP related at all- it's that selling kegs would become more viable.

Overall, though, I dig the idea
