Suggestion: Character Slots... Again.... But differently!

    Hi! My ingame name is Rok Ruiso. I will first apologise for my english.

    I've seen a few posts about this but i want to ask what are your views on the idea of character slots coming to the game in its current state.

    One of the things I find most fascinating in this game is that even if you can't exactly create a character from 0, the game gives you tons of character presets and possibilities randomly where you can choose one of them to be your pirate and then you can change a few things like hairstyle, beard and clothes. But I have already seen many players and their pirate looks.
    Even though I like my fat looking pirate I made, I wish I could try different bodies and different gender. I have seen female characters looking so bada.. and I have seen skinny male characters looking funny and with personality. There's tons to do in this game, but sometimes I wish to go back to 0 and make a new character without having to reset my main one. A new legend, a new story, a new way to play this game.

    Developers might not want people to abuse this feature of making new characters, so I share a few ways I thought about making character slots:

    • You would have to pay ancient coins for a slot (limited to 1-3 slots extra). You really want to make a new character, you first have to fight for it with your current character.

    • Just have that one extra slot. Simple and straightforward solution.

    • Earn a slot after completing a season pass (but only limited to one per season pass), making players play their character till you finish season pass to make another one.

    • Earn a slot in certain Tall Tale Stories after completing all commendations. Another way to make you play your current character before making another one

    • Earn a slot by reaching Pirate Legend on your current character. Whenever you reach pirate legend with one of your characters, you earn a character slot (until you reach 1-3 extra character slots)

    These are a few ideas I thought about. I wish some devs could reply to this post and some players share their feedback about this and maybe give other solutions too.

    Thanks for reading!

    @rok-ruiso

    Just last month (or the month before) they said they'll be introducing Pirate Profiles, which you can buy with ancient coins and only share the name and cosmetics bought from the Emporium or you got from the paid Plunder Pass.

    You'll have to create a new pirate, start from 0 &c.

    Not sure when they'll be arriving though - could be next Season (so in a few weeks).

    @lem0n-curry Woah Damn! I feel bad for making this post then. I like that idea and is so similar to what I was thinking! Can I ask you to send me a link of where I can see about that?

    Thanks for the quick reply! Have a nice day!

    Still rather pay AC to purchase pirate outfit slots…

    The current system they announced feels empty to me. Why would I want to make a new pirate without any of the stuff I've earned over the last 5 years I've played the game? SoT at its core is Pirate Dress up, regardless of if you want to admit it or not. I want a new pirate so I can dress them up in the clothes I already have unlocked. Outfit slots would have been preferable to pirate profiles.

    @potatosord Perhaps. But I looked up the link Lem0n Curry posted and It feels to me that Pirate Profiles might be the start of something bigger in the future. We'll just have to wait and see how well it's implemented to the game. I actually like the idea of Pirate Profiles.

    @rok-ruiso I like the idea too, but I think that we need to have the ability to choose if we want a new pirate or if we want to have a new body to put all our dress up clothes on. I want a new body without having to lose my current one. Pirate appearance potions cost real money and there is no way to return to your previous pirate.

    @potatosord Oh you mean changing body type of your pirate without using potion? I agree. That would be cool too. With such great body types it would be easier if they could let us choose with a slider or change it. Or like change just a part of the body instead of changing everything. But by the way, you don't have to spend money to have ancient coins for the potion. You can get that pretty easily with season passes and It's pretty cheap too.

    @rok-ruiso I get that you don't absolutely have to but the point is that it uses the real money currency and any method aside from using real money is purely RNG based.
