Familiarity System For Files

[Firer]

You know, if you pass that time actually doing fun stuff instead of going back and forth between islands constantly, you won’t really notice that you’re taking a while since you’re not bored out of your mind.

Valid point only if you’re playing on your main file. Having to do them again and if worse, longer than your main file’s progression just so you can do “fun stuff” again is pain, well as NoBanana has already pointed out, there would probably be a solution in the future so ig ill wait for that.

There’s just not much of use for other files rn

I mean, i played on my second and third file the same way and didn’t find it boring, but maybe that’s just me I dunno.

[Unlucky]

yes

[anon904914]

Probably only a few people with you ngl, I’ve got 1K+ hours on my main file and imo the game’s boring asf even with the dark sea update, but that’s to be expected since the game’s in early access ig

idk i already can’t stand the idea of maxing a third slot, i couldn’t imagine wanting to make a new build in some time from now. this might not be the solution but it’s a good thought

All in all, this is pretty dumb because increased knowledge of the game’s systems and easy ways to gain exp (COUGH COUGH EXPLOSIVE BARRELS AND DIVING SPOTS) already achieves what this is trying to do; you just need to put in a modicum of effort.

Maybe this will be necessary in the future, but with the current level cap I don’t think it’s necessary. I like what @Wyqkrn is hinting at; I much prefer knowledge and understanding of the game instead of making boring ass grinds a bit shorter (they don’t seem to be intentional in the first place, as hinted by the cargo xp nerfs). Most people who make way too many files for pvp seem to complain about level caps and things that aren’t explicitly required for the story anyways, this is probably for them.

Despite this I think an option for explicit xp increases to make levelling new files faster might be useful in the future, maybe even sometime soon? Or maybe newgame+'s should be more fun instead of faster, possibly by adding a bit of new content or something.

I’d say to wait until 3rd or 4th Sea of AO to potentially look into this.

Leveling a file isn’t really the most egregious thing in the world currently. But can see it being a pain to lvl multiple files to the newest lvl cap. Let alone going through Bronze and then Nimbus onward.

I’ll voice my opinion on this later down the line, i got more than enough files to gauge my thoughts and feelings of this.

[LichdaDerp]

I approve of this besides the mild lore implications.
