Mermaids and Dolphins

  • Mermaids are your best friends at times, or the bane of your existence. I like the distance they show up at, I like how they show up to risk other players noticing your around. But there is room for improvements. First, the classic, well-known, glitched mermaid. Please fix it. It is so annoying, and gives the sunken ship survivors an unnecessary advantage. Second, add a whistle to make a mermaid show up sooner. It would be part of the second tool wheel. It would also be a shell.

    Dolphins, would be a cool addition to the game. They would propel you through the water like in Minecraft. To make one show up, you would have to blow a whistle like the mermaid whistle concept. But they wont show up if your holding a something in your hand, like loot.

  • @cadbane15 There are balance issues with your mermaid call idea, as similar ideas have been discussed at length here in the past, though I don't personally recall what they are myself, so I'll let someone else explain to you for me.

    Regarding dolphins, there are concerns about players going out of their way to kill them, hence why they and similar fauna are not in the game. Also, if incorporated, the speed at which you could travel would like introduce a whole host of new issues.

  • @galactic-geek I would like to ask the problem with killing dolphins in a video game.

    Rare is on record stating they do not support the idea of whaling in the game due to the real life issues around it, I feel the same would apply for dolphins.

  • @archangel-timmy Oh, I can see why. But we can also kill sharks? (Not attacking you in any way, just curious.)

  • @cadbane15 Killing of sharks for their fins is a negative IRL, so I can see where you are coming from. Only thing I can see is they are an intentional enemy, not a peaceful secondary creature found at sea.

    Good question though.

  • @cadbane15 If they spawn, then they are going to attack you. You will not find a friendly shark.

  • @archangel-timmy what about a red eyed "killer whale" haha
    I know orcas are actually friendly but a fish bigger and stronger than a shark yet smaller and weaker than the Meg might be a nice addition.

  • @unfadingshimmy I've had sharks so friendly they swim on the island and chase me on land.
    Maybe you angered them but they seem mighty friendly with me hahaha
