We were sailing tonight and chanced upon a Meg which we defeated.
As we collected the loot, we pondered what it would be like to have different loot dropped to the usual 'run of the mill' stuff, like treacherous loot or cosmetics (only found in the belly of this big shark) like peglegs, hooks and hats!
They wouldn't have to be common, just rare, as the very beast itself is at the moment. :D
Megalodon Loot
@thorumsu said in Megalodon Loot:
If they can eat all those chests (That's actually canon lore wise), They can very well eat some boots too.
Poor megaladons. Their stomach must REALLY hurt from all the treasure that trolls throw into the water. This is why you don’t littler, kids.
My crew and I have talked about and theorized how cool it would be, if there were some kind of chest that could be opened, and it contains a random cosmetic.
Imagine you're doing a Fort of Fortune, and one of these rare chests happens to be in the vault. The crew all take the chest onto their ship to open it, and each of them gets a brand new cosmetic from the chest.
This concept could easily be a cool, engaging, and repeatable form of cosmetic attainment. Maybe each season the "Chest of Mysteries" as I call it, gets an updated design to reflect the current seasonal theme, and with each season comes a brand new cosmetic set. Now these chests are guaranteed to have a random cosmetic from the pool, and could be stolen like any other piece of loot. It would become highly sought after, and the cosmetics even more so, which would fuel engaging PvP battles/sneaks.
Methods of obtaining one of these chests could be rewards from the highest tier voyages, or world events. Once a season is over with, the cosmetics from that season's chest of mysteries temporarily go away, to allow the players who DID get them some bragging rights, but then next season they're released into the gold shop for a large chunk of gold, per cosmetic. This would allow for a repeatable, cosmetic gold sink. A final idea I had, would be if, as a reward for players who manage to not only earn/steal enough Chests of Mysteries, and obtain the entire cosmetic set, there's a special legendary cosmetic that can be earned. This legendary cosmetic wouldn't be re-released into the shops, and preserve the rarity for those who worked hard.
Thoughts? I think this is a neat idea, and something I would constantly push for. It would provide players with more reasons to do world events and high tier voyages, and would also fuel PvP encounters.
One of my biggest hopes for this game is randomised discoverable cosmetics. Back before i had it all, the Ashen tomes and their RNG really scratched that itch for me, i really enjoyed trying to get each piece. I would love to have some kind of RNG wild cosmetic feature, like maybe add washed up shipwrecks (or even use current shipwrecks) where you can "harvest" their cosmetics. Dive down/approach, see what they're adorned with, and have a way to get that cosmetic. And like @valor-omega said, a chest of some kind that offers a random clothing item or equipment/weapon, would be incredibly cool and a great way to go back and buff the loot of certain events.
Unfortunately, for this idea, a LOT of brand new cosmetics would need to be created (Recolours would be an awful idea for this) and we know how dripfed even the recolours in the shops are. I don't see this happening unless after a serious cosmetic drought.
Love the idea for unique loot on the Meg's, could even be expanded to the kraken. Also the idea suggested by @valor-omega, this is a brilliant idea and would draw players back to the world events. RNG loot on world events would certainly make them appealing again and a rare chance spawn of a special chest would certainly make them active and fought over just like the earlier days.
@sn0kanon A new item would be a BRILLIANT idea. Piercings, Jewellery, Capes/cloaks, all things that would be a very welcome addition to the cosmetic lineup, and making them have their own unique earning method would definitely be a two-in-one deal for being engaging.
@silentkiller646 Only problem is those require additional clothing slots, so there's a decent amount of initial setup work, but after that I'd assume jewelry would require a lot less work to create than most of the clothing and weapons. I still would like to see some additional bling that could only be acquired out on the Sea.
