I've heard some talk about people getting bored between expansions who are thinking about leaving SoT and I think it would be cool to add weekly and monthly leaderboards that give rewards such as voyages, gold, titles and skins giving people something to work towards between patches. I think this would give players much more to do in SoT and would create a fun community driven challenge keeping bored players engaged and giving everyone more to do.
There could be challenges for skeleton kills, cursed mermaid kills, kraken kills, distance traveled, etc. Along with making new encounters similar to fleets where you have to kill monsters, maneuver minefields, win pvp battles, fight boss battles, etc; rewarding loot and leaderboard points.
The breakdown could be something akin to this:
The top 100,000 would get a voyage that's equivalent to a gilded voyage
The top 10,000 would get 25K gold and the voyage
The top 1,000 would get a title for 1,000, 25K gold, 100 doubloons and the voyage
The top 100 would get a set for the ship or wardrobe, a title for 100, 25K gold, 150 doubloons and the voyage
This system would create value in these titles and skins that doesn't exist in with the pirate legend as there would be significant competition for the higher tiers as opposed to eventually hitting PL through normal gameplay. Due to this there would be many players who work to improve their skills in the game spending more time playing with their friends making memories to unlock these elite titles and skins. This would also create a place for more noncrew interactions resulting in more epic battles and unlikely alliances forming.
Unlike an expansion however this wouldn't just be made irrelevant by new content as the more content you add the more effective this would become. As a relatively small one time investment it would add value to every subsequent expansion and increase replayability making the day to day play more diverse.
This can also be used very effectively with both new and old content adding more incentive to explore a new world along with killing new monsters and bosses just as easily as it could bring new life and enjoyment into older content that isn't played as much.
I’d love to hear what everyone thinks about this and if there's something that could improve it, and what could some cool titles for the 1,000 and 100 could be along with some interesting color pallets for skins?
