i think the singular time i had some small amount of fun was when the server i was in was bugged and sea monsters couldnt spawn so there were no giant krakens

22

same

i donā€™t wanna have to constantly blind myself cause i want to sense the kraken before i reach them
if they didnā€™t spawn on top of me anyway

Was on one of the new siren rocks for a few minutes when a Kraken suddenly just showed up and grabbed my boat, they have no right to be able to spawn directly under your or your ship when your not even on it. I was on the opposite side of the siren rock

The DS? I think itā€™s about time Nintendo made a new model, to be honest.

24

Krakens, in my opinion, need to be content that the player has to specifically move towards to engage with, instead of it appearing by going in a straight line.

I suspect the spawning logic was created quickly without much thought, e.g. spawn within X studs of the player without a minimum distance, so it could spawn directly at the ship.

Great idea, bad execution. The Dark Sea is honestly really cool, but it has a whole lot of problems that brings it down. Some of the islands are just too big to explore and loot properly. This becomes even more of a problem in further ranges, as not only do they get bigger but youā€™ll have to deal with water poisoning (please vetex add a progression meter or something for it, itā€™s so intrusive for no reason.) Getting a bunch of movement gems isnā€™t just a suggestion anymore, itā€™s downright required if you actually want to explore them more.

Needs more content, more frequently

The variation in islands is nice, but other than that all there is is:
Volcanoes (Pointless but nice to look at)
Siren rocks (Athenas wisdom, but DS chests are basically worthless now)
Sunken forests(annoying but cool)
Epicenter(no real use other than the title)
Those towers (Iā€™ve only ever seen one, but sick AF idea)
(I may have missed smth, havent been into the DS lately)

We need more things just sticking out of the dark sea, alike to the tower. the lore potential for stuff you find in DS is immense, but hardly used. All we get is theos statues, some seekers of sight stuff and some god stuff.

I think Athenaā€™s Wisdom should show up in sensing

The reality is, the dark sea has been out for like 2 years now, and during those 2 years it has received little to no new content aside from some smaller things like the omen, athenas pages and whatnot

The Dark Sea was extremely cool when it was released, but 2 years of the same thing is gonna get stale no matter what it is. Good thing there are at least 4-5 more dark sea updates planned which should be plenty to keep the dark sea fresh with new stuff

2 YEARS???
no way
Iā€™m not that old, it feels really recent

30

it came out 6th november 2023, so actually closer to 2 and a half

31

oosh

32

the new 3ds is fine but i dont know why they added that gimmick button that no games use

33

oh wait are we talking about the dark sea?

34

The pre-placed rifts from Full Release need to go. Sure, they make looking out into the horizon from the War Seas not look weird, but they make both getting into and getting out of the Dark Sea a pain in the ass. Sure, you might be able to spot the gaps between two rifts before going in, but you are NOT going to spot that when heading out of the Dark Sea.

My only major complaint is just how big the Dark Sea is.

The Dark Sea being so massive was cool to me when it first dropped but spending so much time just to get to the Far Reaches has gotten a bit old.

Also I hate Dark Sea forests I want them gone

Honestly I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen a single truly positive comment on this yet. Thanks everyone for your input! It will help a bunch when im writing my suggestion.

37

i love the dark sea as a concept but it feels lackluster in game. itā€™s not all that dangerous unless you get really unlucky and it feels kind ofā€¦ flat? i also really donā€™t like how just, overwhelming it is with the audio, especially when you get past i2 and it bugs out.

itā€™d be cool to see more variation between the different reaches of the dark sea; changes in sea color, rough waves, sky color, etc.

38

What do you think of like, dark sea regions?

39

Needs less fog, like, things are big but you canā€™t even see em
