Case of the Scurvy 72 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Forget everything else about them for this moment only. The fact that they are in every zone everywhere at all times really takes away from the game IMO. so sick of seeing them at this point they are nothing special and just annoying. I was thinking they would be around yet rare making it a fun and unique encounter but damn... Why not make them more rare and replace with actual npc ships... wouldbnt that be more immersive?

Bisbois 29 Posted January 3, 2019 NPC ships would be awesome but they would still need to be easily distinguished from player-built ships. Personally I dislike the SOTD look; it takes away from my pirate immersion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I dislike the SOTD look; it takes away from my pirate immersion. Well Atlas is a fantasy game with things like magic and dragons (and skeletons and ghost ships). If you want a pure pirate simulator, this is never going to be it. As for the SotD they're a necessary evil right now. Until there are other NPC ships out there, the oceans need some sort of dangers for us to fight/avoid... otherwise sailing is pretty boring, at least on PVE. Once/if other NPC ships are introduced, which I certainly hope the devs plan to do, the SotD can be relegated to a rarer and more limited role. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get that... but does it have to be 600 sotd in every single zone.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dig the skeletons and ghost ship and dragons because they're a little more rare. Just wish 95% of my sea encounters weren't with lame looking ships is all.
