@Ramen1

Sea Monster Aura
Sea monsters are genetically modified by the dark sea to make them massive, it only makes sense to give them some kind of glowing purple aura. Not only will this look cool as shit, but it makes them easier to see under the waves.

this is cool yes but tbh the only one this is useful on are probably sharks, and by the time you see them you are already dead

( unless you have swimspeed gem ig )

white eyes is massive enough for u to spot most of the time ( not to mention the health bar )

@Ramen1

Lightning Indicator
When your character is about to be struck by lightning, your crew or yourself will say that they can feel their hair standing on end. This gives you just enough time to brace/block, not much though. (If you’re bald gl ig, JK you can feel the static electricity on your clothing).

Chest Dropping
I think we’ve all seen the Lethal Company sweat strat on Titan with loot, why not start here? Let us drop chests off cliffs onto the beach or even our boat so that we don’t have to reclimb Mt. Everest all over again.

idk what that is but yeah sounds useful enough

@Ramen1

Rain Poisoning Indicator
As we know, bathing in your brig makes you immune to water poisoning for x amount of time. So why not make it a status effect? Now we can accurately know how long we are immune for and roughly when we will get water poisoning again.

@Ramen1

Lower the Dark Sea Wave Level
Make it so cargo floats on the waves so we can actually see it (hopefully this satisfies @NickyZ1 )

please do

also increase the dark sealed chests despawn timer, basically when a Dark Sealed Chest is placed somewhere that isn’t on your boat, it will start to despawn very quickly, vetex should increase that timer drastically

‘I agree with all of the 5 suggestions except for 4 of those 5 suggestions’ bruh

[Skenana]

Also can’t see much wrong with this, apart from something like the rain indicator not being too much of a problem compared to something like rng lightning or chest despawn timer.

Increasing chest despawn timer would be lovely imo cos multiple times when I’ve been collecting dark sealed chests an atlantean that hadn’t loaded into the structure yet suddenly finished loading whilst I have a sealed chest in my hands, forcing me to drop it and fight, praying that I can kill those cheating ass enemies before the timer runs out.

And for Lightning Indicator, I still remember that topic about rng lightning doing %hp damage, where someone rigged up a lightning magic circle for the rng lightning to suow where it would strike. Having something like that or even just the hair standing on end to indicate lightning would be great, and would stop the numerous posts and replies of people getting screwed by zeus when they’re on low health during or after a fight.

it’s crazy how some people seem to be allergic to basic quality of life in the AO community (vetex included)

@Ramen1

Sea Monster Aura

Yes, please.These Atlanteans chasing me for hours on end after i sink their boat…and also not being able to find them to finish them off (their color scheme usually blends in with the water.), this change will make them easier to spot them, and then snipe them, while also giving them a drip factor.

@Ramen1

Lightning Indicator

Such a feature would make certain situations, where you get struck by lightning twice and then being at red-colored health because of this less common (that happened to me once.), and makes them less of a nuisance overall, making near-death situations from lightning bolts rare.

@Ramen1

Chest Dropping

Very much need this, because well…my Dark Sea runs have an obsession with spanwing Mount Everest-Sized islands every 20 minutes that take hours upon hours to climb, that would make it less tedious to get chests from very large and tall islands this way.
Despawn time usually isn’t a problem for me…but i think it needs a small increase.

@Ramen1

Rain Poisoning Indicator

As a person that gets water poisoning 0-2 times per dark sea run…even because of such luck makes me get water poisoning rarely, i think knowing when my water poisoning immunity runs out would be good to know in the future.

@Ramen1

Lower the Dark Sea Wave Level

I agree, so i can atleast see Atlanteans better, spot cargo much easier…and so i don’t have to see the stinky magic water in my hull.

Overall…You cooked this one.

[optie]

@Devisk

Yes, please.These Atlanteans

he’s talking about sharks etc

[Devisk]

I see, but…what’s the point in adding an aura for sharks and sea monsters in that case? i think Atlanteans need it more, they blend in with the water, usually.

[optie]

atlanteans are half fish atp

[Devisk]

depends on the rank of Atlantean, because Lost Sailor is still mostly human.

[Ramen1]

@Ramen1

Adding this on to Atlanteans who fall in the water because they are annoying as shit to find.

@devisk

[Devisk]

thanks.

All of these QOL changes are good. Although, maybe instead of lowering the water level, cargo crates should just float higher (maybe the player as well since the water hitbox and the visuals don’t match very well).

Overall good suggestion. I don’t think this is enough to make the dark sea truly fun but it’s five steps in the right direction.
