As an avid player who has been immersed in the world of Skull and Bones since the open beta, I’ve compiled a list of suggestions for potential improvements. While I thoroughly enjoy the game, I believe these enhancements could elevate the experience for all players. Here are my thoughts:
1, In-Combat Po8 Collection: Implement a feature to allow players to collect Pieces of Eight (Po8) while engaged in combat. This quality-of-life improvement would streamline gameplay and enhance the overall experience.
2, Notifications Overhaul: Revamp notifications to be smaller in size and less intrusive. Positioning them to the top right or integrating them with the loot list interface could reduce clutter and improve visibility during gameplay.
3, Batch Open Silver Chests/Bags: Enable players to open multiple silver chests or bags simultaneously, enhancing efficiency and convenience. Additionally, introduce a “Fund All” button for helm-related expenses to streamline resource management.
4, Ensure Rewarding Ship Encounters: Ensure that all ships yield worthwhile loot, discouraging encounters with ships that offer minimal rewards. Adding SnB silver and additional ammunition to these encounters would make them more engaging for players.
5, Embrace Fantasy Elements: Embrace fantasy elements such as mythical creatures, ghosts, and underwater beings to add variety and excitement to the game world. Introducing fantastical adversaries like giant crabs or sea monsters could enhance the pirate experience.
6, Expand PvP Options: Introduce additional ways for players to engage in PvP encounters, such as spontaneous duels or queue-based battles in designated arenas. Providing players with more opportunities for PvP combat would add depth to the gameplay experience.
7, Refine Wind Mechanics: Refine the wind mechanics to ensure a more realistic and intuitive sailing experience. Consider removing penalties for sailing against the wind while maintaining speed boosts when sailing with it.
8, Multi-Marker Route Planning: Allow players to plan sailing routes with multiple markers, providing a more immersive navigation experience. Widening the range for reaching destinations and adding subtle wind animations could further enhance navigation.
9, Wind Marker Accuracy: Address any inaccuracies with the wind marker on the ship to ensure it correctly indicates wind direction. Improving this feature would enhance navigation and overall gameplay.
10, Streamlined Boarding Mechanics: Streamline boarding mechanics to make them more seamless and immersive. Consider replacing cutscenes with animations and automating the process of obtaining loot from boarded ships to improve efficiency.
11, Enhanced Ship Damage Effects: Add visual effects to depict crew members being thrown when ships sustain damage. This small touch would add realism and humor to naval battles, enhancing the overall experience.
12, Introduce Resource Sinks: Implement mechanisms for players to expend excess crafting materials, such as furniture upgrades, weapon enhancements, or convoy missions for silver acquisition. These resource sinks would add depth to the economy and gameplay progression.
13, Personal Hideout: Provide players with the ability to establish their own hideout, complete with crafting stations and customizable decorations. This feature would offer players a personal space to unwind and showcase their achievements.
These suggestions aim to enhance various aspects of Skull and Bones, from gameplay mechanics to immersive world-building. By considering and implementing these improvements, the game could reach new heights of enjoyment and engagement for players. Let’s progress together, loot more Skull and Bones Items and riches, and conquer the sea.
