Cargo Hauling Improvments

They would increase in level and number the more cargo was aboard your ship, and wouldn’t attack each other.

Horrible idea, unless it scales 1 level every 5 cargo, this will only make cargo runs absurdly harder for newbie players and slightly more annoying for Max levels

Edit:
Just finished reading, yeah… Never Cook again.

If you playing games for the feeling of labor, you may as well get a real job

never cook again

what on earth made you think that this was a relatively okay idea

@A_Name

Another possible suggestion is to make it easier for player pirates to hunt cargo haulers…

• Last spotted system - A board or item that tells you whenever a ship is “spotted” passing nearby an island and how much cargo their carrying(in galleons)
• An actual map - This would be hard to justify lore wise, but a map that updates every 10 minutes or so on cargo ships, with color or some other indicator to tell of value, could maybe work.

you are literally using the legendary chart system for fricking cargo. why do you think that this is relatively an okay thing

[OffAndSphere]

honestly i think the NPC random spawns could work, but players hunting others down for cargo will never work because there’s nothing stopping the max level players from dominating level 80 players

also cargo runners getting ganked by multiple people lol

why do you think it’s not an okay thing?
you could at least bother to give somewhat understandable critique like “ship pvp isn’t fun rn” and not incredibly vague things that ell me nothing

They need to make it easier to grab stolen cargo in the sea. Half of the time you don’t even get anything from pirating cargo haulers because the crates just despawn.

Let people pull cargo onto their ship by shooting at it with harpoons. Or, alternatively, add a dialogue option with quartermasters to have your crew pick up nearby crates.

I find cargo difficult on its own, look away for a second and you are either ramming into an island or caught up in a whirlpool.

Alright then. I’ll go in-depth as to why this suggestion just isn’t okay since you politely asked.

@A_Name

One fairly easy solution would be to take the dark seas code to spawn structure on your path, and instead put it to spawn pirates. They would increase in level and number the more cargo was aboard your ship, and wouldn’t attack each other.

This is just the infamy system but worse. And who unironically likes that?

This is the legendary chart system, and just like the infamy system, I haven’t heard any positive reception about this.

The entire suggestion is about making cargo runs more exciting, but this is just making things worse. You haven’t tried thinking about how cargo folk would lose a lot of galleons because of how they got ganked, or the potential for this to be abused by people looking towards increasing their renown or by absolute jerks willing to fuel their ego. Heck, you even said that ship PvP isn’t fun, so why are you even advertising it?

This entire suggestion has a good chance of killing off any sort of cargo runs because of how absurd the process may be. It is quite obvious that you barely put any thought into it beyond “making things more fun”. This suggestion would sound fun if I was a fricking masochist.

@A_Name

We play games to have fun, and restricting fun behind a blockade of boredom is going to do nothing good for the game or it’s playerbase.

This suggestion literally reinforces that blockade of boredom with frustration and demotivation.
