Let me start off by saying how much I enjoy the game. Even with it's flaws, and bad eggs in the playerbase, it's still a great game with plenty of opportunities for fun experiences.
My suggestion is for the pirate emporium (and to a lesser extent the shipwright).
I think it's wild that this isn't implemented already. But I think there should be a way to preview the items in the emporium without having to find an external video (or worse, buying an item and realizing it's not how you thought it'd look/be like)
A big thing that would really help with buyers remorse and future sales would be to have some sort of preview of items in the pirate emporium.
That could be renting the items with gold/dubloons, but I'm thinking more along the lines of just a 3d model you can spin around either in its own void or on a ship preview.
Obviously for cannon flares and emotes (anything that's an animation) youd want a video as an accompaniment to you can see the it.
I get that it's against gamer tradition to give power to microtransactions, but I feel like this update to the shop would be good for all parties involved. Following are the reasons that I believe help the case for this change.
- It gives the purchaser comfort and information to be better inclined to spend real money and continue supporting the game.
- It makes the player spend more time in the shop watching the animations and models, which leads to a stronger inclination to spend money.
- It doesn't require the player to leave the game for information, leading to a more seamless and easier shopping experience. (make your product easy to buy)
I believe this change to the shop would be important in extending the longevity of the game, and I understand that it might take more resources away from actual content. With that being said, this change shouldn't be at the front of development tasks but should be done eventually.
Any feedback from the community would be appreciated.
