Ocean Content

Post by Jazcash »

The world is huge, and for people that regularly travel between continents, the ocean is currently just a boring part of the game that nobody looks forward to crossing. I like the fact that there's an ocean, I like the vortexes and I don't mind the size. There just needs to be more ocean content to fill the void and the 30+ minutes of clicking move with literally 0 entities on screen.

Some ideas:
  • Dolphins
  • Squids
  • Water currents
  • More whales, maybe different types/sizes
  • Kraken
  • Some form of water dungeon
  • More ocean specific localised resources, like driftkelp
  • Storms and tornadoes
  • Pirate ships
  • Turtles
  • Fishing boats with castable nets attached
  • Ice bergs
  • Sharks
  • Manta rays
  • Albatrosses
  • Pelicans

I think Dolphins would be a great addition. Could make some friendly, some not so friendly. I think it would be interesting to have serial killer/ rapist dolphins roaming the sea waiting for a hearthing to plob down into the water to attack.

Oceans are large and boring, and they should be.

Because the game is not about ocean.
Using lot of time to make travel of people who use knarr more pleasant is not best use of time.

Who are you to determine what this game full of free choice what you want to do is about, you eternal shitposter.

Agreed it should not be priority, and it is same tier as adding new bird updates but yeah once all other things are fixed oceans can have more "stuff".
