I think anyone whos spent more than an hour in the dark sea has found like… Giant mountains that not even the storm renders ingame- And we do know that these islands can even just leave the dark sea entirely (Extremely rare).
I wanted to gather people’s opinions on these islands- PERSONALLY, I have used to love them but now I skip them. I dont care that they have like… 8 dark sealed chests- Im not spending 45 MINUTES ON THIS GIANT RIFT for them, its like a time waste now! They dont feel special anymore, and personally I wish the height modifier for dark sea islands could really be toned down at least a bit. Its very exhausting yknow?
Just curious, because after 153 hours of dark sea playtime- Im not a fan of them… What about you?
Hate 'em. If there’s more than two Dark Sealed Chests, I can’t grab 'em 'cause I’m not going back up there again and I can’t find my ship and oh look there was a lv.276 Atlantean there and I’m dead now
I wouldn’t want them removed, I think they’re a cool thing to have. Maybe there could be a unique reward on them in the future? Or at least something worth going up there for.
That said even if nothing like that was added I still like having them around just for the novelty and its fun to go up once. Besides if I’m really just going around to farm chests, then I’m probably just going to siren islands anyways. Their existence is no skin off my nose.
tall islands in general are a pain in the ass, 90% of the time they are basically built like mount othyrs but with “spikes” that go all the way up to space
they suck, it takes 10 minutes to climb and you can only carry 2 chests at a time so when you find like 5 on the very top so you either need to waste more time or ditch those chests
The only issue i have with them is having to bring the dark sealed chests down, like if there was an upgrade or smth to have my crew grab them theyd be super cool, but the up and down is just tedious
Yeah, having to go on 4-5 average trips just to get the chests you saw about thrice now gets on my nerves. Its one of the motivation-sappers of the dark sea for me at least. I think we just have to wait though until any further updates…
Still better than when ds first released tho, finding these, only to have literally nothing at the top after wasting far too long. Plus only one chest at a time
Way more efficient, I’d say like 4x the output
You can just use high agility gear (enough to tp) and the sirens can’t even kill you
You do have to avoid the Atlantean ships though, since it’s more efficient to not use cannons
4X?! Okay, WOW! Tryingg this crap, sorry the occasional St. Lily Flower.
I dunno about changing gear though, I am pretty scarce on stuff.
And also, a thing I hope gets changed in the FAR FAR FAR FAR FUTURE… Is the base size modifiers for islands in all of the ranges. Already in I1 islands are huge, but seeing how big the potential far reaches desert biome is- I dont really dig how huge the islands are. I beleive vetex addressed some of this in those giant lists of the DS trello changes…
Shit man I just run in take the stuff and get out without the agility. Usually they can only hit you up to like 300 damage, over the entire time you’re at the island, at most before you’re out with all their chests. Though I am just talking ranges i1 and i2 I dunno how that’d work out in farther ranges.
I think its wise to stay in I1- Farther ranges lack what they do. I havent even seriously touched i2 seeing as they have level 270 atlanteans. Or for now, no insanity works da best for me
