Opinions on Dirt & Tanning - Community Poll for Change

Wait fr?

For real for real.

Got tester on three weeks ago. I can propose changes to the big man himself directly.

my character looks like an unwashed freak within 10 minutes of playing the game

sometimes dirt will just appear for no reason too

i wont lie i like the initial idea of dirt accumulation, but i feel like dirt should dissappear pretty quickly over time (potential setting to enable/disable if you wanna look really dirty too). I like it cause in a way it shows the fights/general running about your character does that would definitely get a lot of dirt on them, but as i said before it also makes your character look like they havent showered or bathed in a year which is crazy for a game set on the sea

i feel like both should be totally optional, both are neat as immersion features but end up being kinda annoying for a lot of people

also rain and the ocean should get rid of all the dirt immediately why doesnt it do that already :sob:

can you tell him to make your ship repair at the start of the “escaping ravenna” story part

I’d like if they were easier to manage. Make vanity/stat gear able to cover you from the sun specifically to prevent tanning. Say, the durags, hoods, cloaks, wide hats, etc. Basically anything that would cover you from the sun. Not only does it make sense game-wise to have something to protect you, but also in-universe to cover yourself from the sun. If you want to tan, you take any of them off and expose yourself to the sun, that’s literally how tanning works. Either that or add an umbrella item, works for aesthetics and function to avoid tanning.

And for dirt feature, make some rags or towels to clean yourself instead of having to drop yourself to the sea. You can use them like idk 5 times before needing to wash them either by sea or the bath in the brig.

It’s really easy to keep these in-game without being too obstructive. You want immersion and people don’t like it? Deal with it with more immersion.

add handkerchief item that can be used like this
add “magic handkerchief” item which has infinite uses and can be found in diving spots, with the lore explanation being that it constantly generates water like sunken items
1/100 chance from an underwater chest

It does. Or at least it’s supposed to.

ok cool ty
also can you ask him if warrior will get anything cool in the future like a better weapon aura (5% speed 2.5% damage :sob:) or a new weapon slot or shield slot

Yes, handkerchief, thank you. I didn’t know what it was called.

And the magic one would be much more useful. It will become the new Prometheus’s Acrimony :smirk_cat:

we’re bringing this up to vetex when we get 200 votes, keep spreading in public servers and your friends, and tell them to share it too!!

37 MORE VOTES ON THE LEAST VOTED POLL WE CAN DO THIS!!! (complete sentence)

i dont really mind tanning but dirt accumulation sucks cause it genuinely feels like you do anything and are now covered in dirt

just make it so that going into oceans and ponds counts as a bath. water magic can give self baths

oceans already remove dirt
ponds… good point
I think why they don’t remove dirt is because ponds somehow can’t give the soaked status effect(how.)

Oceans and ponds need to remove dirt faster, preferably without having to cycle soaked
Make it so you don’t get it as easily, especially on grass when your not destroying anything
Make it so there is none on snow
Make it take much longer to reach maximum

Or maybe make charging with any magic (cept earth ig) gradually reduces it? I would imagine being surrounded by plasma or something would burn the dirt off of you
Water would be best for this

the only way that would make sense is if it were to be mud or just dirt (without plants)
any other surface is well, not dirt
and plants with their roots prevent the earth from being dug up

I don’t get why people wouldn’t just want a toggle, making the feature that just ruins your outfit easier to manage is not the way to fix it

make it easier to manage (cough cough handkerchief, adding more immersion while keeping the feature)

We do not need immersion in the magic game I wanna be able to have drip without having to throw myself in the ocean and wait for soaked to clear

magic handkerchief
