This suggestion would help with the bronze sky’s sky islands feeling largely bland, but the request is simply an extension of already ingame content.(btw sorry for the last suggestion being AWFUL)
sky islands:
These would include a lot of small wilderness, medium wilderness islands, with a few small towns.One island might could even get a bear cave if the devs decide it’d be fun or nice to add.
(islands are scaled up, islands would probably be closer to cirrus too, but it is only an idea of what could be added)
treasure charts
would be doable at any wilderness sky island that you can hover over and see it’s name on the map, would probably give the modifier from the nimbus wilds, along with the terrain type’s typical modifiers
secrets/island-specific weapons/items
some of the medium/large sky islands may have secrets like some of the normal islands do, but they’d probably also have bronze-sea exclusive sky weapons, say for example a bronze sky spear or a old/rusty sky set that would be around level 50.There would probably also be some more exclusive fruit, say sky pears, or some sort of mushroom or melon that would make your character jump higher based on the effect tier of the meal, though maybe could also be made into potions for the effect using different reagents.
towns
the towns would be pretty small, just a skyship spawner, some NPCS, houses, quest or 2, and some shops including sale of some of the bronze sea sky-exclusive items/weapons.These towns would be pretty similar to cirrus island’s town.
weather/climate
the weather and climate of the sky islands would be somewhat reflective of the region they’re above, but would be considerably colder for obvious reasons.
in other news, its almost never a bad idea to add more exploration content but if youre going to more weapons and status effects, they better be balanced. i dont think adding an effect that can boost jump height is a good idea when you take airstall into consideration. new weapons should be fine as long as theyre either reskins of current ones, or new ones that are balanced
also i remember someone saying that sky islands are blacklisted from being chart locations
The bronze sea doesn’t need more islands or sky islands please let them work on the Nimbus sea the Bronze sea is basicly finished
Your ideas are very simple and uninteresting “small sky town” “random town”
you created this in Paint and I had to zoom in 300% to even read the pixelated text
The skyships would be able to fly around the map making ships less useful
“Bronze sky spear” “old rusty sky set” are bleak and Swiftcap Mushrooms already give the Agile effect so no need for “Sky Pairs”
its cool but the bronze sea’s sky isn’t meant to be very expansive. sky islands arent that common. the reason there are so many of them in the nimbus sea is because its that seas gimmick
this is sick but itll straight up never happen, especially considering sky islands are nimbus’s whole gimmick and they don’t even cover a fourth of the sea
On a serious note we don’t need any expansions to the Bronze Sea
vetex adding 5 new islands to it was already putting it to the top.
I just don’t see any relevant way this would help the game when we still have 5 unreleased seas.
The only argument I can find to support this is to provide a use to the otherwise (nearly) obsolete sky ship and make exploration a tiny bit more enjoyable, but unfortunately, the in-game map kind of ruins that already.
Sometimes when i make a new file, after i finish up with the bonze sky islands, instead of going to my ship i just sail straight to sailors lodge in the skyship
After i take some time at djin ruins to line my ship up for the voyage, on 1 occasion i managed to crash in a spot past sailors lodge.
Looking at the map shadowhunter provided, with all those tiny islands and those few big ones, we would have more than enough room to sail between all the islands and refuel
Sky islands are cool, but any sky island ideas could just be added to the Nimbus sea, which is already getting sky islands in full release. You’re basically just asking for “more content” while generally speaking about things that are already on islands.
Also, if sky islands are going to be so spread out, there should be multiple entrances to the “sky layer” spread across the map.
there is a volcano thats going to be near monos island, so maybe you could use the glider there and there’d be a small sky town with some little sky islands
@Perf , could just be some sky islands around cirrus and that one volcano the devs are adding, would make the quest where your searching for elius’s island actaully a search rather than open your map and see the unmarked island, theres only 1 non-story sky island after all(also, they could add some skyship customization for when you spawn em, say sailboat/caravel/ketch and what kind of sail you want on it , would probably increase price but that’s for another suggestion)
