What do you guys want to see as features in the dark sea?

Some of yall’s ideas are pretty cool, might make some of em into a suggestion. :+1:

I could see us being able to convince Vetex to add an AOE around our ship, where in the Dark Sea we can have our crew auto load up dark sealed chests after marking them + with a short delay for “travel time”. Also I would like for Vetex to add in Dark Sea flora and geysers that let us traverse the giant islands better.

A cave seems kinda narrow.
Honestly I’d prefer to avoid things that put too many NPCs too close together, personally.
Like in the case of the snowman quest, the lag spike is insane.

Could be nice if in a large enough area.
There was an idea some time ago for a dark sea structure based on a city, spanning the entire size of an island, populated with a variable number of atlanteans.
Once you defeated them all, a kinda of treasury would open, with a large number of ds chests and maybe some kind of unique reward.

Seems pretty similar.

Lost/Ancient Magic Sea Events in the insanity 4-5 region.

medusa boss fight medusa boss fight medusa boss fight

I’m actually making a suggestion on this topic, it’s going pretty well so far, I have gravity and darkness events rn, but other events I haven’t really thought up.

27

Slash Magic tornado dealing 50% more damage than the regular tornado or ignoring the weather resistance the boat has. Gravity could bring the boat closer to the tornado itself. Idk though, keep cooking tho I’d be glad to see the suggestion soon

28

The gravity magic thing is less a weather event more like a island. Basically it tears up and island and u can use the gravity tornado to go the various floating pieces. I think it’s pretty cool, I feel like the lost magic events shouldn’t be just tornadoes but add a lil extra to it.

Oh my cave idea was inspired by a Minecraft server called Wynncraft and Minecraft is pretty small compared to AO lol
I’ll change my idea to have less NPCs and more spacious caves

Aren’t acrimonies supposed to grow in the dark sea?
Why aren’t they there? Are they stupid??

31

I’d love to see some dark sea exclusive crews, deckhands, and quartermasters. I would also really like for there to be more things like the planned dragonblood rituals / megalousia reagents, like stuff that would give permanent buffs/altercations to your character

Can’t wait for weather bug fix in full release, will fix lots of things

Otherwise tho

  • I think rare events/encounters would be cool,

    • maybe an island with blind enemies that you need to sneak past for a big pile of loot in the middle, maybe make it a maze? (Far reaches)
    • Something that actively hunts you, staying out of your line of sight till it attacks, maybe in packs, and if it does kill one of the players it will drag them away so other players have to save them (far reaches)
    • Big Atlantean hive you have to fight like fort castrum or somethin
    • Sea monsters fighting each other :shark:

    • Shadow add without telling anyone, a mimic type creature that disguises itself as other players in your party who are also on the island but out of your line of sight, they will walk somewhat near you before doing turning into some horror ahh monster that does obscene damage and has crazy speed. If it kills you before your teammates see you then it turns into you. Make it rare so people actually get jump scared, and so nobody believes them until it’s too late.

    • Occasional extremely heavy rain that destroys everything, like rain world or something, has an indicator of all rain stopping for a minute so people can get under cover
    • Small areas where waves calm down for a bit (rare)

  • Make the diving bell not use swimming :sob: swimming combat is L. Make it so it’s like the surface, except you can’t jump as high, and you fall and maybe even cast slower

  • If we can’t have crews searching islands to carry back sealed chests automatically, how about like a wheelbarrow in the middle of islands where we can put sealeds and crew will carry it back to the ship. (If they die to Atlanteans it stops working for like 20 minutes)

terrain yapping

Oh and better terrain in some parts, most coral has really goofy invisible parts, and neither coral nor giant mushrooms can be destroyed for some reason
Less tall islands bc some of them are all work for no reward (windrow level is fine, but othrys height is obscene)

Supposedly a volcano with blue lava was going to be added, and it would grow acrimonious
Would be nice if it was added, epicenter rarity but you get 1-3 acrimonies

Long ahh yap, might add more later

Pretty sure this was made by a contributor a while back, I think his name was Edwin or something
