They need lantern, compass, harpoons and railings. Not many people think about railings but this would change your whole ship, I mean look at the ferry of the damned it looks so good because of the small things like railings and missing cannons.
Aye! I haven't seen anyone else talk about railings, but I've always hoped for customization for them. They are such a big part of your ship and just like lanterns/harpoons, as mentioned in the video, they really don't go very well with worn down ship sets...
I want railings to be destructible and blown away too which could then be repaired for gold if you want. I think seeing railings get blown away would be cool and more in line with old trailers.
The Ships Log sounds really cool, I like the idea of sinking a ship that’s not been sunk yet. I do hope they add some PvP themed unlocks to the captaincy, like unlocking things for a certain number of ships sunk or pirates killed. But I know that’s not coming this season.
One feature I think Rare needs to add is the ability to change your ship type without having to leave the server. If one of your friends leaves having to deal with a ship that requires one (or maybe more) person more than what you currently have in a crew is a giant pain in the ass, and then having to leave the server to re-invite everyone and load back in is also annoying. Also if a friend gets _on_ while you're in the middle of doing something, having to wait until you're done or end it early to leave and get them in is a pain to. It would be nice if you could go to an outpost, go to the shipwright maybe, and then change your ship type from there. Perhaps you'd need to scuttle your ship first though. Obviously you would only be able to do this if your crew size supported the other ships though. If you load into a server with 4 people and a gally you wouldn't be able to scuttle the gally and then get a brig or sloop unless your crew was the required number of players, so no 4 person brigs or sloops. One thing they could do to prevent one or two people from getting a brig or gally would be to let others join your game while you're using those ships, but they can't load in until you scuttle the sloop/brig and then swap to a brig or gally. The game detects you have a third or fourth person waiting to join and the option for the respective ship becomes available to swap to. (Not sure why a solo player or 2 person crew would wanna get in a brig or gally without the additional players but still.)
you can invite someone in the middle of the game?? do you mean inviting someone while your ship is full and youre doing something? if so then apologies lol
@@rishylefishe Say you're on a sloop and you have a third, or even fourth, that wants to join. You invite them, they accept, and they get put in your lobby. From there they can't load in until you go to the ship wright and change ship from a sloop to a brig or gally. Once you do that they're able to load into your game from the lobby menu. That's how I'd imagine it working.
@@rishylefishe You were literally talking about inviting. I'm aware you can invite people to your game but that's only if you load in with a ship that can hold the amount of people you're going to be playing with. If a friend comes on later and wants to join you have to quit out of the game and load back in after inviting them because there's no way to change ship in-game, which like I said in my comment, would be something you could do if they added the ability to change ship type in-game.
I've sailed 2-man Brig, before. The extra firepower is fun and the design is my personal favorite. It's a bit hard to manage, but it's good practice for emergencies when a crewmember is blown overboard in a real fight
harpoon customization could be amazing , imagine harpoons that look like a sword fish with the sword nose firing out to pierce objects there is so much potential. as for ship title cards, i really hope its a close range thing and only when looking directly at a ship, having a crew spyglass my ship from 15 grids away the game display my ship card despite being behind a rock or island while I'm trying to sneak up on them will suck hardcore and rare and sot is the kind of game where that bug is very very likely.
Rare: Introducing Captaincy!! Solo Sloop: Captain of what? I'm already Captain, Gunner, Deck Hand, Navigation, Fire Control, Maintenance, Supply officer and on and on.🤣😂🤣
Players: We should have prerequisites for Captaincy. Me: OK #1 Should be slapping down and completing a solo Gilded Athena voyage Players: Not that kind of prerequisite.😁😁
Mixed feelings. Part of me agrees that locking captaincy behind some commendations makes sense, but at the same time... how far? One of the BIGGEST problems Sea of Thieves has is that it alienates most new players. There's a reason most folks don't stick around: you log in, and then get toasted by some group of sweatlords without having a chance to get your bearings, likely being called slurs. Makes one not wanna stick around. And given how important tailoring your experience to your liking is for a game like Sea of Thieves, if something as essential as captaincy is too far away, it literally cripples the game. So I'm starting to wonder if it's worth having it locked off. Also, regarding "taking away the heart pounding moments"... most of the game is that. A constant level of anxiety and stress which is not sustainable for most players, and if there aren't ways out of that, then the game risks isolating most possible players AND will inevitably kill the game. It's a video game: always being at risk of just losing everything doesn't make for a fun game for most people, you need to balance the risk with ways to mitigate it. Having a faster way to sell, locked behind a few commendations, seems like a good way of dealing with the issue in a very slight way. And I for one can't wait. Sea of Thieves cannot survive without making the game more enjoyable for most players. It can't cater to one section or another. Only way to stop the slow but steady decline in players, if the old balance and systems of play aren't working, it's time to change them.
I could not disagree more. Almost every sentence is wrong or backwards. You must be living in an alternative reality. Alienating new players is one of the biggest probles of SoT? SoT is based around new players who have the same power level than veterans, SoT is outstandingly welcome to new players. Every update they make is for new players, making the game easier and more accessible. The game is gaining, not loosing playerbase, we need to stop thinking about noobs and think about veterans and engame for once!
add a system that puts you in servers if you and the server match the same levels in the trading companies. this will encourage PVE players to actually get good at the game if they want to be pirate legend. Making Pirate legend more rare and scary again
My hope for the captains log is that it is a steal able thing, you find a crew that ks fresh off the outpost and think them steal their log and bring it to the reaper and you get basically nothing. But you sink a crew that’s sever hopped sneak many crews and took out a few forts, that log should be worth more than an Athena chest
that would make sense, so some fresh bought ship would be like 100 and a ship that has completed 10 skele fleets and sunk 15 emissaries would be around 70,000 (just an example, obviously there would have to be more calculations server side but you know what i mean) sounds like a great idea, and would motivate attacking more of the "Legendary Ships" instead of just running away, since it would make it a near guaranteed prize if you managed to beat them
@@Sawdust_ since it’s coming out in one day I think it’s safe to say at this point, but a max level book can sell for 50k so 187k with emissary and gold rush. However a max level book is about 8 hours of real time of not sinking. Most people never even play for that long much less play for that long and not sink
A captain's log would be great. I hope that whenever you sink a ship someone owns or captains, their name and their ship should go in your log. This would be a way of showing your combat prowess and maybe even you could get little " memories" like short clips of right when you sank them
I’m hella hyped but I’m definitely worried about some of the features. I feel like we won’t see customizable Lanterns, compass or harpoons in this update, otherwise they would’ve shown them off already. Which is a huge bummer because I’ve been wanting those kinds of stuff for years
I REALLY hope captaincy is exclusive to Pirate legends, With the new big reason being the banner. If everyone can have it then it's just some new detail, But if it's captaincy only, Then it'd be like Borderlands character introductions, A way to show people that this guy is someone to take note of, And that's a really exciting and fun idea, Bonus if in the future Rare decide to add a bit more customisation with the banner, Maybe allowing you to pick the music that plays when displaying the banner. Basically making you out to be this legendary pirate badass, That's so cool, He deserves having the game introduce him.
i feel like maybe it should be half and half. stuff like ship loadouts and naming your ship should be available to everyone, but stuff like that could be absolutely awesome as unlockable features
@@bonsaibnuuy functionally having something exclusive to pirate legend does leave it available to everyone, it just means that you have to work a bit more to get access to it
My favorite idea for the captains log, is to ditch the burying thing. Like, we would still have maps after we bury our booty, but it would be written in the log, so like in tall tales, you would have to figure it out somehow. This way it would be challenging, not that easy
@@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN someone had a bad day what i think OP meant by that is like the logs would say something like "I stashed my loot on X island and it is nearby X landmark" or something along that so basically a riddle map tho that would be a nightmare for an automatically generated thing to explain where it is, so the idea is not the best unless he legit just means put the x marks the spot maps inside the logs instead of it being its own item
Wait... only 2 weeks left? I thought it will take ages. Anyways: 1. Maybe we could even get to customize the bell and the handrails? 2. After that small update I noticed some changes to my sloop's furniture, probably this is how the generic customization will look after the captaincy update. 3. Rare probably know that the community will eat them alive, if they drip-feed the cosmetics too slow. 4. I think the cabin customization should be available to everyone, but I will be completely fine if they lock the ship naming behind some tough achievements, that would feel deserved. 5. Now you will not confuse two ships with similar cosmetics. Nice! 6. I hope the captain's journal will be really detailed, the level of detail would depend on what it's actually intended to record, because we don't know yet.
I think it’s finally time we get item to purchase that aren’t just cosmetic. I think having cannons and harpoons that actually have a difference in effectiveness compared to just the regular stuff. I’m not saying it should be pay to win. But more akin to weapon in TF 2 where weapons have trade off. Mabey a cannon that can fire a lot faster but fire as far or can’t use chain shots. This would bring a lot more strategy to combat as not only do you have to decide what cannons you and your crew are using but also what type of cannons your opponent is using.
I don't think this will ever be done. It is clear that at some point of the games creation they decided to make progression cosmetic-only. It would be pretty strang to completely do a 180 on that after years.
I can't believe there are still people advertising this game in 2022. It is literally dangerous for people who are susceptible for gambling. But what you wanna do? They surely do pay BIG...
I’ve been worried about captaincy since it was announced, but I hope I’m absolutely astonished when it launches because it would be a real shame if this legendary update was reduced to something for the game pass sailor with bare bones customization for the sloop (as a solo player) that adds no real new content to do as a captain.
I’m very worried about this update from a content point of view. This is reminding me of the quality of life update we got with the storage crates, burying, and fireworks update. Cool and shiny on the outside, but lacking depth to keep players interacting long term. We’ve already had two lack luster adventures back to back and not much added to the game for player retention since LOTV. With the extension of season 6 and lack of content I’m very worried this update will flop.
i feel like theres plenty of content in the game as is to keep you busy with something at any time, be it one of the 3 fort types, among all the other world events, ghost forts and shrines... and if that all fails, theres good ol voyages, steals, and tall tales, theres a lot to keep you occupied until more content is added to the season as there will likely be
I agree. I am completely mind boggled as to how Rare prioritizes new additions. Which part of the playerbase genuinely asked for portable stools, permanent hull damage or more useless interactables on your ship? Where are the actually engaging new gameplay features here?
@@JanJanNik the reason for the update is cause captaincy was the most requested update since the games launch, we had a few big content updates with shrines, ghost forts, and new enemies i think they are stepping back from that to fulfill the oldest promise they made, more content will come in time, but believe me when i say, something big is coming to the game, something absolutely worth a bit of a wait (even if its damn hard for me to stay patient for it), but i can say, this game has a very exciting and bright future!
i think fast selling is a terrible idea if it's implemented with no downside i don't mean gold reduction but a waiting time to do so like 1 or 2 minutes or so when you are close to the merchant dock it would be endlessly frustrating for reapers or players trying to get their loot back from reapers if there were no timers they can just run from you quick sell and be more toxic than ever about it i would love to have this feature my friend and i long stopped picking up whortless loot only taking the stuff we need for accommodations sins we hit pirate legend a long time ago and reached Athena lvl 30 not too long ago, but Sot players are saltier than the sea and that's why we can't have nice things
Personally, I don't mind the harpoons or lanterns, but I do see the reason the people want it. And what must be in place for it to hit the sweetspot? COSMETICS, A METRIC SHIT TON, RECOLOURS AND NEW SETS(Mostly the latter).
I'm essentially hyped from everything captaincy has to offer (especially the special captains voyages and progression) but the main thing I'm worried about is a lack of new customization options
im just curious to see what the captains voyages are, best case, totally new voyage types that play different, worst case, its just higher value versions of regular voyages, either way, its a win
Based on what we’ve seen I don’t think the Sovereign’s will be a quick sell. It seems like you still need to deliver all the loot individually which will give the chasers a small window still. Your point about viewing a captains log will be interesting though, but it may be difficult to find the time with the change to the respawn timer.
Not even watched the video yet but yes you are absolutely right. At the captaincy reveal I couldn't believe the harpoons, lanterns and ship compass weren't getting cosmetics. Just saw the thumbnail and knew where this was going and felt the same for awhile.
as a gampass Gary I gotta say 😢 as quick as you can PL these days it still sucks and I've not once wanted to even be one considering the pure time investment that it takes for a Joe like myself who can barely do a order of souls voyage before insurmountable boredom. I would not be looking forward to a painful tedious grind just to have a name on my ship. Maybe the game just isn't for me because I just don't have the time or the patience.
Well with naming ships and custom banners for looking at them, it's entirely likely that they could add a bounty system into the game. Wouldn't that be something? If a player is doing a little too well, sinking lots of ships and stealing lots of loot, it could add onto your bounty. For example, say you've stolen an entire fort of fortune from another crew and you sold the stolen loot? Well it would add half the value of each stolen item to your bounty, and this bounty would be on a Bounty board for players to look at. They'd get your name and the name of your ship, but not your location. Then it's just a matter of remembering the names and if you happen across them then it'd incentivize you to sink their ship and claim the bounty. Of course there'd be a few rules as to what adds to the bounty and what doesn't, primarily the loot has to be considered stolen (another player has to have at least held the loot first before it gets taken), and the loot has to be sold to add to the bounty (making sure that this whole mechanic wouldn't be TOO rewarding, know what i mean?). To claim the bounty their ship must be sunk, meaning there's no point to dragging out a long encounter and giving pirates a reason to just get the sink over with rather than spawn camping for 30 minutes.
This will probably give me the thing I want most in Sea of Thieves; Branding. My biggest goal is to scare the shit out of someone so bad that they surrender their loot, but right now that's just not much of a feasible goal.
It is accessible to all players, just you have to actually build a reputation to be worthy of becoming a captain. At least that’s how it should be. I imagine rare will just plop a small price tag on a ship and call it a day though.
personally, i hope captaincy is a pirate legend thing just for a good late game goal... and honestly i want ships to cost a lot, i got all the cosmetics i really want rn, and not a whole lot of money, so i want something to force me to have to grind for it like this, very likely an unpopular opinion, but i would love for something to work towards
I have a feeling that in season 7 we might go back to the sea of the damned for an adventure or a quest since we completed the legend of the veil voyage first reason : save Merrick second reason : fight flameheart ;(and maybe Stim fetcher if I'm correct), Amaranta ,etc third reason : talk to the ancient one for help an see what did they become
im not sure if fighting flame heart is going to be a choice, cause they confirmed he IS coming back to the living world, and my bets are on him being like the pirate lord, but for the reapers
My biggest fear is that Rare will make customizable ships purchasable with Ancient coins. My ULTIMATE fear is that they will be purchasable with Ancient coins ONLY. So instead of building up a large sum of money to buy your own custom ship to show off the time, effort and dedication you have to the pirate life, you can just get mommy's credit card to show off to the friends you don't have.
I would love for something to show just how legendary a crew is and for other ships who have been sunk by them to see that as well. I think this is also a really cool thing to do for peoples pirates. Although it is certain to not happen I wish past experiences were shown in there as well, especially for me cause I won a couple prestigious SoT tournaments
I've been lucky to play the insider program, so I've seen a lot of how season 7 will turn out, and honestly it's a really nice update, optimized a lot of the menus, the ship customization is fluid and over all the captins cabin decorations are really nice and definitely help spice up your ship. The captins log is also really cool, given statistics for a lot of things done on and by your ship, from cooking to fighting. The souvenirs are also a nice touch because most of them are placed on the opposite side of islands so it gives most outpost two points of selling, which in my opinion makes things faster. Over all I'm definitely excited to see what's next in the coming weeks till the update.
As an insider, I can mostly say, not everything is there yet for the main captaincy update, ik as it gets to the end of the season, insider will update a lot to get that stuff out for play testing, but rn, not everything is there yet or actually works properly. Though I feel like I should just say, people are going to be somewhat happy to have a certain world event come back
A part of me wonders if we'll have multiple ship sets for multiple ships. Like one day, when I'm out grinding skulls for Order of Souls, I'll pick "The Raven's Folly" with the drip fed ship drip from Emmisaries. Or The Chummer's Reel for when I'm out there on a fishing journey.
Agreed. Then your setups tell stories, like mine: The Outcast Pyre: an anti-Reaper/Athena Galleon that hunts most anything, but isn't totally heartless. The Ancient Explorer: A Sloop that wanders the map and has no real path or purpose. The Penny Pincher: a Gold Hoarder Brig that wanders smaller islands for easy pickings.
I think it'd be awesome if you were able to tight rope walk across harpoon gun rope, maybe zipline treasure or weaponize powder kegs by lighting and ziplining them over.
I'm pretty confident that the Sovereigns will not be giving you gold for the treasure you turn in to them. My theory is that the Sovereigns have all the silver from the Sea Dogs and they will trade you silver for your loot. In return, they will take silver as payment for ship customizations.
Tbh the part were you said access another crews log while defently make me go yes if they add it of course though 1 thing i see people not really seeing is crows nest customisation
I find that if u don’t pay too much mins to upcoming content solves anxious thoughts and makes it much more enjoyable come launch. No expectations means no let downs🤷♂️
I wish they would do an extra-special crab or lobster-themed shipset. I know there are already some crab-themed ship parts but these are really just the same but recolored. Give us something unique for us crab fans.
The main thing I'm worried about is people panic selling to the sovereigns, because people can already panic lower their emissary very quickly if they do it right but if they can sell their loot too? That's just outrageous.
I hope one thing they do is FIX THE GRAPHICS and picture for items because the graphics are so blurry that it is impossible to know what you are doing like the compass and going through menus like shopping does show a picture of what I how and dont have and notifications are delayed so everything I do pops up all at once 10 minutes after I did it so rare if you are reading this fix it
I wouldn't worry. rare is a company that needs to earn a profit. Because of this I have a rule when it comes to gaming companies for example: will Ubisoft make more pirate games? yes. why? its free money (assassins' creed black flag) will EA make a Sims 5? yes. why? its free money etc the rule is if a company get free money off something or guaranteed profits for doing something they're already known to be capable of, or frequent of doing, they WILL do it again. if they tried something and earned shit tons of cash from it, they will try to do it again the same way (example: Shrek 2-4) companies aren't repetitive because they're trying to be annoying. It's because it's free money for them. all companies have higherups in corporate who don't need to know anything about gaming at all. all they need to know is how to make more money. they're in charge of getting the developers to make games that will make money. The best example is EA. their corporate seems like is ruling the company hard af so they tell developers to make more DLC's more FIFA, more Star Wars etc. does it need to be good? no. it only needs to be made and advertised good so people will buy and preorder it. all companies in the gaming industry have an instance in their company like this. the difference is how much corporate values quality over quantity. but they all have the same goal. more money. the difference is how they go forth making money. Will rare make it so we can customise the harpoons and compass? yes why? They live off of cosmetics and people buying them through ancient coins. if they add more ways to customise ships, it means people will use more ancient coins to do so which equals free money for Rare. we will be able to customise literally as much as possible. if not, it will happen in the future unless it's essentially impossible to implement. this could be because of engine incompatibilities or optimisation so people don't lag. if this is not an issue, we will in fact be able to customise as much as possible. the reason we can't use profanity in the name is so kids can play without parents not allowing their kids to buy sea of thieves because then they lose money indirectly
Yes... titles will mean business... Every single title would mean alliance server lover. They need to prevent these servers if we ever get a meaningfull progression.
One thing I would like to see is something rather simple. Looking at the Galleon, it has quite a bit of space on the inside. That bottom floor practically has no use, I would like there to be like modifications to the floors; either be able to add more use to it or at least be able to make it look nice
on the galleon, the bottom floor has the regular brig, but in the ship wrecks, theirs is at the front of the bottom, i like the idea of being able to customize which place thats at, and maby being able to rearrange where the stove and barrels are on the ships to fit your style
The insider programme version is still needing some work. There are quite a few bugs still appearing. I’m not sure that it will come out on August 4th.
Damn, did not expect to see my old harpoon customisation concept art in here. I made that two years ago and I'm still hoping Rare implements it one day.
Not that I expect it this update but on a side note, wouldn’t it be cool if some of the things on the ship you could change? Like changing the frontal harpoons for forward facing cannons or switching cannons for lots of harpoons? Maybe they could add extra stuff to the captaincy thing in the way of ship upgrades? Do you buy your ship and you’re the captain and you can select certain upgrades like for example spikes that deploy from the side of the ship to latch two ships together for a boarder fight or something? It would need a lot of work and thinking but I could be cool and it would make the combat really funky.
Could u imagine of you sink a ship and you could collect its log and learn that they were just a group of p**sy reapers who ran the whole time or a dangerous crew that you were lucky too survive, or imagine if you could make someone your first mate and give them the title like "first mate of the ..." I cant wait
In my opinion, instead of 1 decently easy to get rank ( pirate legend) you should have to get “gold hoarder legend” and others, when getting those it would increase your pirate legend rank
For the sovereigns, I think it's mostly gonna be fine. 90% of the time selling is just tedious and boring and I don't think it will completely ruin the "I have someone on my tail" experience
I would be devastated if the new customization features were exclusive to the galleon. I am always on a sloop when I play SOT, and I would love to name my ship. I have so many plans for customizing my sloop, and I will be PISSED if I can't do it in season 7.
7:27 bro if they actually do that ill be doin’ Fof none stop and Sinking skeleton ships to show and flex that im dangerous 😎 (even tho im a friendly pirate! which can be bad, helping new pirates)
A banner coming up letting everyone know what your ships called would ruin pvp. Now everyone’s going to be warned when a ships approaching and everyone who’s running gets a head start
fact that we can save some of our loadout is decent ... i would like to see us being able to save cannon balls food and wood the least since if you manage **not to sink** for many , many and even more fights you should relog to find yourself in a empty ship and somehow be rewarded for your skills as the terror of the seas.
I still hope for a new ship type. Different types of sloops, brigs, etc. Maybe 1 man o' war per server or something. Would be absolutaly terrifying seeing that massive ship and absolutaly satisfying to sink it. I also kinda hope rare thinks: "captaincy update, people want a skeleton curse, there's skeleton captains so... Let's give them a skeleton curse!" But I highly doubt it
the problem is with a man o war, they would have to balance it, cause rare tries to keep it so any ship can fight any other ship evenly... even if the sloop is struggling a bit more lately, but if they balance a man o war right, that would be a beauty... that or make it an event thing from either skeles, or the grand maritime union if they get to the sea of thieves
i really want the ability to buy up to two more cannons for a small bit of permanent progression(so like for sloops and brigs the whole crew can attack on one broadside, and galleons just have a extra cannon cuz multiple crews on one ship i guess) edit: and delete the ai generated buried maps, and make it so submitted maps go into some data holding server thing where they are saved and can be collected by pirates across servers, so that the feature actually has some use and maybe show a estimated map value (so a map that has for example, 30,000 value would show a estimated value from a randomly generated lower number and a randomly generated higher number, so something like Estimated Value: 27,312 to 35,984)
They need lantern, compass, harpoons and railings. Not many people think about railings but this would change your whole ship, I mean look at the ferry of the damned it looks so good because of the small things like railings and missing cannons.
Railings!
Aye! I haven't seen anyone else talk about railings, but I've always hoped for customization for them. They are such a big part of your ship and just like lanterns/harpoons, as mentioned in the video, they really don't go very well with worn down ship sets...
The biggest thing I'd like them to do with railings is that a gate at the back of the galleon where the rowboat docks
@@AShinyRay certain hulls already change the railings tho, but i defo agree it should be a seperate catagory
(for example the warsmith ship i think)
I want railings to be destructible and blown away too which could then be repaired for gold if you want. I think seeing railings get blown away would be cool and more in line with old trailers.
The Ships Log sounds really cool, I like the idea of sinking a ship that’s not been sunk yet. I do hope they add some PvP themed unlocks to the captaincy, like unlocking things for a certain number of ships sunk or pirates killed. But I know that’s not coming this season.
I would be thrilled if we got that!
@@AShinyRay something needs to be added for us long suffering PvPer’s! 😂😂
Hmmmm idk… *I don’t.. really.. know*
Laughs in insider, trust me, you guys are going to love season seven.
@@bradygilbert9497 too right!
One feature I think Rare needs to add is the ability to change your ship type without having to leave the server. If one of your friends leaves having to deal with a ship that requires one (or maybe more) person more than what you currently have in a crew is a giant pain in the ass, and then having to leave the server to re-invite everyone and load back in is also annoying. Also if a friend gets _on_ while you're in the middle of doing something, having to wait until you're done or end it early to leave and get them in is a pain to. It would be nice if you could go to an outpost, go to the shipwright maybe, and then change your ship type from there. Perhaps you'd need to scuttle your ship first though.
Obviously you would only be able to do this if your crew size supported the other ships though. If you load into a server with 4 people and a gally you wouldn't be able to scuttle the gally and then get a brig or sloop unless your crew was the required number of players, so no 4 person brigs or sloops. One thing they could do to prevent one or two people from getting a brig or gally would be to let others join your game while you're using those ships, but they can't load in until you scuttle the sloop/brig and then swap to a brig or gally. The game detects you have a third or fourth person waiting to join and the option for the respective ship becomes available to swap to. (Not sure why a solo player or 2 person crew would wanna get in a brig or gally without the additional players but still.)
you can invite someone in the middle of the game?? do you mean inviting someone while your ship is full and youre doing something? if so then apologies lol
@@rishylefishe Say you're on a sloop and you have a third, or even fourth, that wants to join. You invite them, they accept, and they get put in your lobby. From there they can't load in until you go to the ship wright and change ship from a sloop to a brig or gally. Once you do that they're able to load into your game from the lobby menu. That's how I'd imagine it working.
@@TheDaxter11 that is not what i commented at all but ok
@@rishylefishe You were literally talking about inviting. I'm aware you can invite people to your game but that's only if you load in with a ship that can hold the amount of people you're going to be playing with.
If a friend comes on later and wants to join you have to quit out of the game and load back in after inviting them because there's no way to change ship in-game, which like I said in my comment, would be something you could do if they added the ability to change ship type in-game.
I've sailed 2-man Brig, before. The extra firepower is fun and the design is my personal favorite. It's a bit hard to manage, but it's good practice for emergencies when a crewmember is blown overboard in a real fight
harpoon customization could be amazing , imagine harpoons that look like a sword fish with the sword nose firing out to pierce objects there is so much potential. as for ship title cards, i really hope its a close range thing and only when looking directly at a ship, having a crew spyglass my ship from 15 grids away the game display my ship card despite being behind a rock or island while I'm trying to sneak up on them will suck hardcore and rare and sot is the kind of game where that bug is very very likely.
Rare: Introducing Captaincy!!
Solo Sloop: Captain of what? I'm already Captain, Gunner, Deck Hand, Navigation, Fire Control, Maintenance, Supply officer and on and on.🤣😂🤣
Seriously. A commendation for sinking another ship solo slooping should be called 'One Man Crew' or 'Sailor, Helmsman, Gunner, Repairs'.
Players: We should have prerequisites for Captaincy.
Me: OK #1 Should be slapping down and completing a solo Gilded Athena voyage
Players: Not that kind of prerequisite.😁😁
Mixed feelings. Part of me agrees that locking captaincy behind some commendations makes sense, but at the same time... how far? One of the BIGGEST problems Sea of Thieves has is that it alienates most new players. There's a reason most folks don't stick around: you log in, and then get toasted by some group of sweatlords without having a chance to get your bearings, likely being called slurs. Makes one not wanna stick around. And given how important tailoring your experience to your liking is for a game like Sea of Thieves, if something as essential as captaincy is too far away, it literally cripples the game. So I'm starting to wonder if it's worth having it locked off.
Also, regarding "taking away the heart pounding moments"... most of the game is that. A constant level of anxiety and stress which is not sustainable for most players, and if there aren't ways out of that, then the game risks isolating most possible players AND will inevitably kill the game. It's a video game: always being at risk of just losing everything doesn't make for a fun game for most people, you need to balance the risk with ways to mitigate it. Having a faster way to sell, locked behind a few commendations, seems like a good way of dealing with the issue in a very slight way. And I for one can't wait.
Sea of Thieves cannot survive without making the game more enjoyable for most players. It can't cater to one section or another. Only way to stop the slow but steady decline in players, if the old balance and systems of play aren't working, it's time to change them.
I could not disagree more. Almost every sentence is wrong or backwards. You must be living in an alternative reality. Alienating new players is one of the biggest probles of SoT? SoT is based around new players who have the same power level than veterans, SoT is outstandingly welcome to new players. Every update they make is for new players, making the game easier and more accessible. The game is gaining, not loosing playerbase, we need to stop thinking about noobs and think about veterans and engame for once!
add a system that puts you in servers if you and the server match the same levels in the trading companies. this will encourage PVE players to actually get good at the game if they want to be pirate legend. Making Pirate legend more rare and scary again
My hope for the captains log is that it is a steal able thing, you find a crew that ks fresh off the outpost and think them steal their log and bring it to the reaper and you get basically nothing. But you sink a crew that’s sever hopped sneak many crews and took out a few forts, that log should be worth more than an Athena chest
Well you’ll be happy
@@TheManDex guessing the amount of progress changes the reward?
this sounds like an amazing idea... i want this!
that would make sense, so some fresh bought ship would be like 100 and a ship that has completed 10 skele fleets and sunk 15 emissaries would be around 70,000 (just an example, obviously there would have to be more calculations server side but you know what i mean)
sounds like a great idea, and would motivate attacking more of the "Legendary Ships" instead of just running away, since it would make it a near guaranteed prize if you managed to beat them
@@Sawdust_ since it’s coming out in one day I think it’s safe to say at this point, but a max level book can sell for 50k so 187k with emissary and gold rush. However a max level book is about 8 hours of real time of not sinking. Most people never even play for that long much less play for that long and not sink
A captain's log would be great. I hope that whenever you sink a ship someone owns or captains, their name and their ship should go in your log. This would be a way of showing your combat prowess and maybe even you could get little " memories" like short clips of right when you sank them
yeah, tucking on a ship only to see this ship has sunk pace44, phuzzybond, absolutepixel, ashinyray, ect would be quite something
I’m hella hyped but I’m definitely worried about some of the features. I feel like we won’t see customizable Lanterns, compass or harpoons in this update, otherwise they would’ve shown them off already. Which is a huge bummer because I’ve been wanting those kinds of stuff for years
I REALLY hope captaincy is exclusive to Pirate legends, With the new big reason being the banner. If everyone can have it then it's just some new detail, But if it's captaincy only, Then it'd be like Borderlands character introductions, A way to show people that this guy is someone to take note of, And that's a really exciting and fun idea, Bonus if in the future Rare decide to add a bit more customisation with the banner, Maybe allowing you to pick the music that plays when displaying the banner.
Basically making you out to be this legendary pirate badass, That's so cool, He deserves having the game introduce him.
I'd be down for this. It would certainly make Pirate Legend a little more worthwhile.
i didnt even think of customizing music for the banner, im in!
i feel like maybe it should be half and half. stuff like ship loadouts and naming your ship should be available to everyone, but stuff like that could be absolutely awesome as unlockable features
@@bonsaibnuuy functionally having something exclusive to pirate legend does leave it available to everyone, it just means that you have to work a bit more to get access to it
My favorite idea for the captains log, is to ditch the burying thing. Like, we would still have maps after we bury our booty, but it would be written in the log, so like in tall tales, you would have to figure it out somehow.
This way it would be challenging, not that easy
Sounds boring as hell…….keep your day job
@@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN Haha, your day must have been very shit
@@Tom-sr1jo not as 💩as Tall Tale idea.
@@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN someone had a bad day
what i think OP meant by that is like the logs would say something like "I stashed my loot on X island and it is nearby X landmark" or something along that
so basically a riddle map
tho that would be a nightmare for an automatically generated thing to explain where it is, so the idea is not the best
unless he legit just means put the x marks the spot maps inside the logs instead of it being its own item
Wait... only 2 weeks left? I thought it will take ages. Anyways:
1. Maybe we could even get to customize the bell and the handrails?
2. After that small update I noticed some changes to my sloop's furniture, probably this is how the generic customization will look after the captaincy update.
3. Rare probably know that the community will eat them alive, if they drip-feed the cosmetics too slow.
4. I think the cabin customization should be available to everyone, but I will be completely fine if they lock the ship naming behind some tough achievements, that would feel deserved.
5. Now you will not confuse two ships with similar cosmetics. Nice!
6. I hope the captain's journal will be really detailed, the level of detail would depend on what it's actually intended to record, because we don't know yet.
I think it’s finally time we get item to purchase that aren’t just cosmetic. I think having cannons and harpoons that actually have a difference in effectiveness compared to just the regular stuff. I’m not saying it should be pay to win. But more akin to weapon in TF 2 where weapons have trade off. Mabey a cannon that can fire a lot faster but fire as far or can’t use chain shots. This would bring a lot more strategy to combat as not only do you have to decide what cannons you and your crew are using but also what type of cannons your opponent is using.
This. The only grind in the game being for getting cosmetics really discourages me from actually doing missions
I don't think this will ever be done. It is clear that at some point of the games creation they decided to make progression cosmetic-only. It would be pretty strang to completely do a 180 on that after years.
Of all the sponsors you could've gotten of COURSE it's Raid Shadow Legends.
Who doesn’t get sponsored by raid shadow legends
It's a right of passage
I can't believe there are still people advertising this game in 2022. It is literally dangerous for people who are susceptible for gambling. But what you wanna do? They surely do pay BIG...
I’ve been worried about captaincy since it was announced, but I hope I’m absolutely astonished when it launches because it would be a real shame if this legendary update was reduced to something for the game pass sailor with bare bones customization for the sloop (as a solo player) that adds no real new content to do as a captain.
The ship's log idea is really cool, but imagine tryna read them with the 15 second respawn times lol
I’m very worried about this update from a content point of view. This is reminding me of the quality of life update we got with the storage crates, burying, and fireworks update. Cool and shiny on the outside, but lacking depth to keep players interacting long term. We’ve already had two lack luster adventures back to back and not much added to the game for player retention since LOTV. With the extension of season 6 and lack of content I’m very worried this update will flop.
After seeing how these adventures and mysteries are playing out, I'll take quality of life improvements over content any day.
i feel like theres plenty of content in the game as is to keep you busy with something at any time, be it one of the 3 fort types, among all the other world events, ghost forts and shrines... and if that all fails, theres good ol voyages, steals, and tall tales, theres a lot to keep you occupied until more content is added to the season as there will likely be
I agree. I am completely mind boggled as to how Rare prioritizes new additions. Which part of the playerbase genuinely asked for portable stools, permanent hull damage or more useless interactables on your ship? Where are the actually engaging new gameplay features here?
@@JanJanNik the reason for the update is cause captaincy was the most requested update since the games launch, we had a few big content updates with shrines, ghost forts, and new enemies
i think they are stepping back from that to fulfill the oldest promise they made, more content will come in time, but believe me when i say, something big is coming to the game, something absolutely worth a bit of a wait (even if its damn hard for me to stay patient for it), but i can say, this game has a very exciting and bright future!
we need crouching, it add a cool aspect for tucking and stealth as well as giving people another option for gunfights over than jumping around
i think fast selling is a terrible idea if it's implemented with no downside i don't mean gold reduction but a waiting time to do so like 1 or 2 minutes or so when you are close to the merchant dock
it would be endlessly frustrating for reapers or players trying to get their loot back from reapers if there were no timers they can just run from you quick sell and be more toxic than ever about it
i would love to have this feature my friend and i long stopped picking up whortless loot only taking the stuff we need for accommodations sins we hit pirate legend a long time ago and reached Athena lvl 30 not too long ago, but Sot players are saltier than the sea and that's why we can't have nice things
the soverighn probably have like a 10% decrease in the money you get when you sell stuff
Omg!!! You got a raid sponsor congratulations only the best get raid sponsors.
Thank you for talking about the lanterns and harpoons I really hope rare listens
the captaincy update is gonna be good. :)
Personally, I don't mind the harpoons or lanterns, but I do see the reason the people want it.
And what must be in place for it to hit the sweetspot? COSMETICS, A METRIC SHIT TON, RECOLOURS AND NEW SETS(Mostly the latter).
I'm essentially hyped from everything captaincy has to offer (especially the special captains voyages and progression) but the main thing I'm worried about is a lack of new customization options
im just curious to see what the captains voyages are, best case, totally new voyage types that play different, worst case, its just higher value versions of regular voyages, either way, its a win
Based on what we’ve seen I don’t think the Sovereign’s will be a quick sell. It seems like you still need to deliver all the loot individually which will give the chasers a small window still.
Your point about viewing a captains log will be interesting though, but it may be difficult to find the time with the change to the respawn timer.
my hopes is that they are a different faction with different rep, or a captains exclusive turn in point
@@bugsmith9751 well the sovereigns are a captained ship only sell point, so you need the fancy purchased ship and not the free ships
@@Sawdust_ indeed they are
i agree so much with the lanterns an harpoon if they dont adf one of those or atleast announce a part 2 i will be extremely dissapointed
Not even watched the video yet but yes you are absolutely right. At the captaincy reveal I couldn't believe the harpoons, lanterns and ship compass weren't getting cosmetics. Just saw the thumbnail and knew where this was going and felt the same for awhile.
as a gampass Gary I gotta say 😢
as quick as you can PL these days it still sucks and I've not once wanted to even be one considering the pure time investment that it takes for a Joe like myself who can barely do a order of souls voyage before insurmountable boredom. I would not be looking forward to a painful tedious grind just to have a name on my ship. Maybe the game just isn't for me because I just don't have the time or the patience.
Well with naming ships and custom banners for looking at them, it's entirely likely that they could add a bounty system into the game. Wouldn't that be something? If a player is doing a little too well, sinking lots of ships and stealing lots of loot, it could add onto your bounty. For example, say you've stolen an entire fort of fortune from another crew and you sold the stolen loot? Well it would add half the value of each stolen item to your bounty, and this bounty would be on a Bounty board for players to look at. They'd get your name and the name of your ship, but not your location. Then it's just a matter of remembering the names and if you happen across them then it'd incentivize you to sink their ship and claim the bounty. Of course there'd be a few rules as to what adds to the bounty and what doesn't, primarily the loot has to be considered stolen (another player has to have at least held the loot first before it gets taken), and the loot has to be sold to add to the bounty (making sure that this whole mechanic wouldn't be TOO rewarding, know what i mean?). To claim the bounty their ship must be sunk, meaning there's no point to dragging out a long encounter and giving pirates a reason to just get the sink over with rather than spawn camping for 30 minutes.
This will probably give me the thing I want most in Sea of Thieves; Branding. My biggest goal is to scare the shit out of someone so bad that they surrender their loot, but right now that's just not much of a feasible goal.
Have you perhaps heard of a TH-camr known as "CGP Grey"?
@@BaronVonMott Yes I have, that's where I got the idea from. Really good stuff, and praise be to the hexagon.
I’m calling it that the new sovereign faction is quick cash no xp
I agree with a lot of this but part of me still wants captaincy to be accessible to all players but who knows what will happen.
It is accessible to all players, just you have to actually build a reputation to be worthy of becoming a captain. At least that’s how it should be.
I imagine rare will just plop a small price tag on a ship and call it a day though.
personally, i hope captaincy is a pirate legend thing just for a good late game goal... and honestly i want ships to cost a lot, i got all the cosmetics i really want rn, and not a whole lot of money, so i want something to force me to have to grind for it like this, very likely an unpopular opinion, but i would love for something to work towards
0:00 no it isn’t
I have a feeling that in season 7 we might go back to the sea of the damned for an adventure or a quest since we completed the legend of the veil voyage
first reason : save Merrick
second reason : fight flameheart ;(and maybe Stim fetcher if I'm correct), Amaranta ,etc
third reason : talk to the ancient one for help an see what did they become
Your right
Ashen Lord Stitcher Jim when!? PLEASE!?
Season 7 maybe it’s just that we don’t now what happen to him after the ritual at devil ridge
im not sure if fighting flame heart is going to be a choice, cause they confirmed he IS coming back to the living world, and my bets are on him being like the pirate lord, but for the reapers
I'm super hyped and even more worried about how the servers gonna handle new shup cosmetics...
Ngl the whole plunder pass for season 7 looks awesome
It would be really cool if the sovereigns sold you rowboats. No more searching for an hour for that sweet sweet harpoon rowboat
We all heard from raid shadow legends, everyone and their dog was sponsored by them
My biggest fear is that Rare will make customizable ships purchasable with Ancient coins. My ULTIMATE fear is that they will be purchasable with Ancient coins ONLY. So instead of building up a large sum of money to buy your own custom ship to show off the time, effort and dedication you have to the pirate life, you can just get mommy's credit card to show off to the friends you don't have.
"Just over two weeks away" yeah..........
I would love for something to show just how legendary a crew is and for other ships who have been sunk by them to see that as well. I think this is also a really cool thing to do for peoples pirates. Although it is certain to not happen I wish past experiences were shown in there as well, especially for me cause I won a couple prestigious SoT tournaments
I've been lucky to play the insider program, so I've seen a lot of how season 7 will turn out, and honestly it's a really nice update, optimized a lot of the menus, the ship customization is fluid and over all the captins cabin decorations are really nice and definitely help spice up your ship. The captins log is also really cool, given statistics for a lot of things done on and by your ship, from cooking to fighting. The souvenirs are also a nice touch because most of them are placed on the opposite side of islands so it gives most outpost two points of selling, which in my opinion makes things faster. Over all I'm definitely excited to see what's next in the coming weeks till the update.
As an insider, I can mostly say, not everything is there yet for the main captaincy update, ik as it gets to the end of the season, insider will update a lot to get that stuff out for play testing, but rn, not everything is there yet or actually works properly. Though I feel like I should just say, people are going to be somewhat happy to have a certain world event come back
I would love a feature where we can gather resources and build forts on any island that would be awesome
We need to talk about that sponsorship.
Next podcast episode topic is ready then...
A part of me wonders if we'll have multiple ship sets for multiple ships. Like one day, when I'm out grinding skulls for Order of Souls, I'll pick "The Raven's Folly" with the drip fed ship drip from Emmisaries. Or The Chummer's Reel for when I'm out there on a fishing journey.
Agreed. Then your setups tell stories, like mine:
The Outcast Pyre: an anti-Reaper/Athena Galleon that hunts most anything, but isn't totally heartless.
The Ancient Explorer: A Sloop that wanders the map and has no real path or purpose.
The Penny Pincher: a Gold Hoarder Brig that wanders smaller islands for easy pickings.
Being the smooth brain i am when hunters call was released i decided to do them as one of my factions to get to pirate legend.
0:40 i... i trusted you
I'll tell you the same thing I tell the other creators tell raid I'll download their game when they add a shiny Ray character for me to fight with
Imagine if it looked like my Pirate 🤣
@@AShinyRay it has to or won't count
I think it'd be awesome if you were able to tight rope walk across harpoon gun rope, maybe zipline treasure or weaponize powder kegs by lighting and ziplining them over.
I'm pretty confident that the Sovereigns will not be giving you gold for the treasure you turn in to them. My theory is that the Sovereigns have all the silver from the Sea Dogs and they will trade you silver for your loot. In return, they will take silver as payment for ship customizations.
I am beyond hyped for captaincy
I really hope the customization is in depth.
Tbh the part were you said access another crews log while defently make me go yes if they add it of course though 1 thing i see people not really seeing is crows nest customisation
I've been saying for ages that harpoons should just share the same skin as your cannons to make it easier
Sounds like youre feeling better! Excited for this update 🙌 thanks for keeping me informed.
I find that if u don’t pay too much mins to upcoming content solves anxious thoughts and makes it much more enjoyable come launch. No expectations means no let downs🤷♂️
I wish they would do an extra-special crab or lobster-themed shipset. I know there are already some crab-themed ship parts but these are really just the same but recolored. Give us something unique for us crab fans.
The main thing I'm worried about is people panic selling to the sovereigns, because people can already panic lower their emissary very quickly if they do it right but if they can sell their loot too? That's just outrageous.
I hope one thing they do is FIX THE GRAPHICS and picture for items because the graphics are so blurry that it is impossible to know what you are doing like the compass and going through menus like shopping does show a picture of what I how and dont have and notifications are delayed so everything I do pops up all at once 10 minutes after I did it so rare if you are reading this fix it
Are you on the Xbox One?
I just hope that they get around to adding jewelry at some point. I'd love to give my Pirate rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
Ill rather have all my shots getting hitregged than playing raid shadow legends
Great video u put so much effort in to them and I respect that so much i can’t wait to get home from school to watch ur videos
I wouldn't worry. rare is a company that needs to earn a profit. Because of this I have a rule when it comes to gaming companies
for example:
will Ubisoft make more pirate games? yes. why? its free money (assassins' creed black flag)
will EA make a Sims 5? yes. why? its free money
etc
the rule is if a company get free money off something or guaranteed profits for doing something they're already known to be capable of, or frequent of doing, they WILL do it again. if they tried something and earned shit tons of cash from it, they will try to do it again the same way (example: Shrek 2-4) companies aren't repetitive because they're trying to be annoying. It's because it's free money for them. all companies have higherups in corporate who don't need to know anything about gaming at all. all they need to know is how to make more money. they're in charge of getting the developers to make games that will make money.
The best example is EA. their corporate seems like is ruling the company hard af so they tell developers to make more DLC's more FIFA, more Star Wars etc. does it need to be good? no. it only needs to be made and advertised good so people will buy and preorder it. all companies in the gaming industry have an instance in their company like this. the difference is how much corporate values quality over quantity. but they all have the same goal. more money. the difference is how they go forth making money.
Will rare make it so we can customise the harpoons and compass?
yes
why?
They live off of cosmetics and people buying them through ancient coins. if they add more ways to customise ships, it means people will use more ancient coins to do so which equals free money for Rare. we will be able to customise literally as much as possible. if not, it will happen in the future unless it's essentially impossible to implement. this could be because of engine incompatibilities or optimisation so people don't lag. if this is not an issue, we will in fact be able to customise as much as possible. the reason we can't use profanity in the name is so kids can play without parents not allowing their kids to buy sea of thieves because then they lose money indirectly
Yes... titles will mean business...
Every single title would mean alliance server lover. They need to prevent these servers if we ever get a meaningfull progression.
One thing I would like to see is something rather simple. Looking at the Galleon, it has quite a bit of space on the inside. That bottom floor practically has no use, I would like there to be like modifications to the floors; either be able to add more use to it or at least be able to make it look nice
on the galleon, the bottom floor has the regular brig, but in the ship wrecks, theirs is at the front of the bottom, i like the idea of being able to customize which place thats at, and maby being able to rearrange where the stove and barrels are on the ships to fit your style
Since this is a captaincy update there should be an option to put hammocks down below for your crew to sleep and restore health.
The insider programme version is still needing some work. There are quite a few bugs still appearing. I’m not sure that it will come out on August 4th.
I wonder how many people will name their ship "Rowboat". I know I'm tempted to.
I mean whatever they add I bet it's going great just hope they keep adding to cosmetics to it after the update
My god I can’t wait, this update is 110% gonna get me back into full swing with the game! Also, congrats on the sponsor!
Damn, did not expect to see my old harpoon customisation concept art in here. I made that two years ago and I'm still hoping Rare implements it one day.
I think that should make it so too get the little trinkits you have to obtain them first and donate them to the boat customizer
before we continue this funeral let’s thank our sponsor raid shadow legends
I agree 100%
but what was the song used in the end? I know its either We shall sail together or something but what is the cover/instrumental?
It's the Siren Song at the end of the Shrine of the Coral Tomb, added in Season 4. It's a rendition of Who Shall Not Be Returning.
Not that I expect it this update but on a side note, wouldn’t it be cool if some of the things on the ship you could change? Like changing the frontal harpoons for forward facing cannons or switching cannons for lots of harpoons? Maybe they could add extra stuff to the captaincy thing in the way of ship upgrades? Do you buy your ship and you’re the captain and you can select certain upgrades like for example spikes that deploy from the side of the ship to latch two ships together for a boarder fight or something? It would need a lot of work and thinking but I could be cool and it would make the combat really funky.
It's been known for sponsoring every single TH-camr it's raid shadow legends
Could u imagine of you sink a ship and you could collect its log and learn that they were just a group of p**sy reapers who ran the whole time or a dangerous crew that you were lucky too survive, or imagine if you could make someone your first mate and give them the title like "first mate of the ..." I cant wait
I would enjoy this but I don’t want to have to pay for lantern/harpoon cosmetics in the pirate emporium
just get on insiders and add to the changes. Use the forums there ni need to guess wats coming go lead it dude
In my opinion, instead of 1 decently easy to get rank ( pirate legend) you should have to get “gold hoarder legend” and others, when getting those it would increase your pirate legend rank
I am hoping for a customization of the ship components, just to make the ships different
For the sovereigns, I think it's mostly gonna be fine. 90% of the time selling is just tedious and boring and I don't think it will completely ruin the "I have someone on my tail" experience
I would be devastated if the new customization features were exclusive to the galleon. I am always on a sloop when I play SOT, and I would love to name my ship. I have so many plans for customizing my sloop, and I will be PISSED if I can't do it in season 7.
7:27 bro if they actually do that ill be doin’ Fof none stop and Sinking skeleton ships to show and flex that im dangerous 😎 (even tho im a friendly pirate! which can be bad, helping new pirates)

I was hoping that having your own ship all the supplies you had from the last journey or maps are stored for the next time you log in
A banner coming up letting everyone know what your ships called would ruin pvp. Now everyone’s going to be warned when a ships approaching and everyone who’s running gets a head start
Maybe ship cosmetics changing form with your number of sinks or player kills etc
i respect getting the bag ray, dont care if you get sponsored or not
Common W
We need customizable lanterns, railings, harpoons, compass, and a visable customizable anchor
I'm iffy on ship banners announcing your ship. It takes away from the stealth opportunities such as sneaking up on a distracted crew on FotD
fact that we can save some of our loadout is decent ... i would like to see us being able to save cannon balls food and wood the least since if you manage **not to sink** for many , many and even more fights you should relog to find yourself in a empty ship and somehow be rewarded for your skills as the terror of the seas.
I still hope for a new ship type. Different types of sloops, brigs, etc. Maybe 1 man o' war per server or something. Would be absolutaly terrifying seeing that massive ship and absolutaly satisfying to sink it.
I also kinda hope rare thinks: "captaincy update, people want a skeleton curse, there's skeleton captains so... Let's give them a skeleton curse!" But I highly doubt it
the problem is with a man o war, they would have to balance it, cause rare tries to keep it so any ship can fight any other ship evenly... even if the sloop is struggling a bit more lately, but if they balance a man o war right, that would be a beauty... that or make it an event thing from either skeles, or the grand maritime union if they get to the sea of thieves
It comes out on my birthday
i dont like the idea of fast selling because all the people run away to sell and at least we have a chance to catch them, i love every other idea.
I thought I heard somewhere they'd be restructuring the ships to add a captain's cabin to each one, but maybe I heard wrong.
anyways.. hopefully we get a man o’ war
they neeed to add bow cannons please. let me swap the harpoons
i really want the ability to buy up to two more cannons for a small bit of permanent progression(so like for sloops and brigs the whole crew can attack on one broadside, and galleons just have a extra cannon cuz multiple crews on one ship i guess)
edit: and delete the ai generated buried maps, and make it so submitted maps go into some data holding server thing where they are saved and can be collected by pirates across servers, so that the feature actually has some use
and maybe show a estimated map value (so a map that has for example, 30,000 value would show a estimated value from a randomly generated lower number and a randomly generated higher number, so something like Estimated Value: 27,312 to 35,984)
My ship name will be: Slooping Deez Nutz
