Burning Blade Voyages

  • Hello everyone!

    The burning blade is incredibly boring now, let's face it, most of us have done our commendations!

    Here's how to improve it!

    I prepose adding voyages to the burning blade, or tasks to do based on the current state of the world

    Here's an example. Say a skeleton fort was just defeated, and the next world event was the burning blade. Once you took control of it, a task would show on the quest table stating "Flameheart's skeletal mercenaries require treasure". This would be tribute for Flameheart. So you would be sent on voyages to dig treasure such as whatever relates to the next skeleton fort in rotation (will get back to this).

    Furthermore, you could prepose voyages on the quest table that are unique, with two already being implemented (the reaper voyages) and some unique ones, like sieging an island Flameheart's enemies own! Or escorting a skeleton ship fleet to a certain location.

    Rewards:

    In terms of rewards for the "tasks" perhaps you'd be awarded gold, reputation, commendations, and perhaps rituals. Maybe some treasure too!

    How this circles to world events!

    I stated that collected loot for skeleton forts would relate to the next skeleton fort world event! Here's my idea: The treasure you collect and deliver will appear in the next skeleton fort! You will get a pay-out of something for delivering it. This will make the world feel more alive and it will give continuity!

    I look forward to all your responses, let's get this implemented!

  • @duccio-castorus What do you mean?

  • With the GMU coming (Hopefully) A voyage on the Burning Blade against a GMU fleet would be incredible

  • @captain-wolf348 Exactly!

  • @tintintheboy
    100% agree, burning blade is impossible to find now, and if you do you're sitting on it for over an hour going between 2 rituals until you get to 8 and immediately selling.
    Love to see some sort of update to it, especially because of how fun it was when it first released

  • Not sure if I agree or disagree with the idea of voyages to dive to a Blade on demand, but the Burning Blade is certainly a trifle too uncommon these days, especially for anyone who wasn't around during Season 13 to take part in it. FoFs are more frequent now than BBs, and the FoF is supposed to be the least common world event. At least, that's how I remember it being billed...

    That's only because it doesn't stay around for long when people are interested in doing it. It currently has no Chest of Fortune, which is why it sticks around longer since Act 2. I didn't see many FoFs in Act 1.

    The BB definitely is a rare World Event after Season 13. Mainly because if a crew takes it, it blocks all other World Events. Which is why I would propose instead of making it divable, it should be just as commo, but it doesn't block World Events after it was claimed. Make people want to team up and sink a BB because it hogs the World Events!

  • Give it an activity that generates urns or caskets. The coms for those are set quite high indeed, so more variety in methods of obtaining them would be nice.

    Perhaps even a skull of the banished. Lots of people still need to steal them (thankfully I don't). Maybe generate some interest in the burning blade

  • Yes indeed, it needs to appear way more frequentley, they butchered the spawn rate.

  • Has anyone notice this new book on the burning blade in the same table where you can vote to take over the name on it is "Voyages of the Burning Blade"

    • Its pages are smudged with ash and charcoal, but you can make out the following:
    • Day 1: We continue to reap ... Orbs we ffind in the Temples.
    • Day ... We sailed between them and returned to The Reaper's Hideout
    • Day 6: We made port at Mercy's ...and took on provisions from the Fort
    • Day 9: Attacked by brigands wanting ...commandeer the ship near Lookout Point
    • Day 11: Passed ...at P19 on our way to ...
    • Day ...The next day we made it to Z11 on patrol to protect The Ancient Land of ...

    Can yall let me know what this means.

  • the idea of making the burning blade a world event that can transition from pve to pvp was cool. but i think they thought the idea of allowing us to do voyages on it would be too broken? i dunno... i liked the idea of using it to sail around to do other stuff. but because it is itself a world event you cant use it to clear other world events. it basically just because another cool concept that they mishandled. and then punished people for trying to grind commendations too early with it because again they have no idea how to look at data and didnt even consider adding a cap as to how high you could level the burning blade. so people who played on a pve server to grind out BB commendations got labeled as cheaters as the only way they could tell who actually cheated was via emissary ledger as they had (and still have) no way of tracking how high a level your burning blade that was cashed in. it just gave too much reputation in the first place, so handing in a lvl 8 burning blade 10 times? oh you must have been one of the cheaters turning in lvl 100 burning blades... not really... but yea. they couldnt interpret data correctly if their lives depended on it.. oh wait this is their job and cash flow so it actually does kind of depend on it.. and the game is dying. coincidence?

  • @anthonyr1920 that was part of the orb stream. We watched the lore videos and it had you figure out where to go next to go read the book and the last one lead to the orb at Reapers hideout to interact with that gave us the new orb lantern. You can still interact with all of the books and read them.

  • @roborob-r66y Let's not let this devolve into "the dev's aren't listening/doing their job".

    Other than that, I think there are ways to circumvent these issues.
