Future content introduction suggestions

[JJL1]

With the forsaken shallows update came a ton more content, and although that’s necessary in moving the game foward, I feel the effort would have been better spent somewhere else. For a while now, with cursed blades being the completely dominant weapon archetype, attention has been taken out of certain areas later game to focus more on grinding for those weapons (Them being the best legendary, and famed weapons in the game). While it is refreshing to have more than one legendary in the game, the end game is getting too foucsed on grinding out these weapons, and since that can only be done in specific locations, the emphasis is vastly on these weapons alone. As a solution to this problem, I vouch that tlopo adds new special weapons like the cursed blades, only different weapon types, that are acquired from different factions (example: defeating high level navy gives special guns [ex: mastercraft firearms], defeating high level EITC gives exceptional daggers[ex: imperial blades], while defeating skeletons and wild animals in general gives special staffs and dolls). Of course, with this, new end game areas must be added for EITC, skeletons, and Navy, but nevertheless, it would be worth the work. Not only does this solve the laggy clotting of players in areas such as el patrons mines, and isla tormenta, but it brings other weapon types into the picture, and gives them a chance to shine besides swords. Sailing could also yield its own unique sea based legendary and famed weapon sets to give sailing besides gold and resource farming more of a use. While my name ideas are less than creative, I’m sure the tlopo team can easily come up with something better. Make sure to give this lots of love, it could be real helpful to the devs at tlopo for how they could improve the later game.

This sounds a little insulting to the devs. I don't think that was your intention, so letting you know, in case you want to reword this.

Now on to your suggestion, I think adding more types of legendary is a great idea (why should legendary just be swords???) But it is not going to slow down or stop ppl from group looting. This is the fastest way to loot a boss is with a good bunch of players. If it bothers you, there are other servers you can go too.

It certainly does come off as insulting, and could lead the reader to disregard the rest of the post.

I made a poll on island exclusive legendaries if you wanna vote on that,
but for the most part I agree with you

Yes, but I think he's right in that cursed blades may have now become a little too much of the focus of the game and some future rebalancing is in order.

little too much of the focus of the game

What else there for max players to do, if not this?? Looting is a big part of game, so I really don't understand that statement. I personally join the groups to hopefully get brights I really want, and the group is faster then me trying to loot solo. Please dont say there is pvp...because some of us have grown up some since potco, and jumping around and having the skull for bragging rights is like players are still stuck at kiddie age we all were in potco. Though, this need to have complete max out pirates is overrated as well, imo. Just do you, forget what online, pixel people think.

The looting is fine. I do think spreading it out with possible new legendaries would be pretty awesome as people have more choices to loot, instead of fighting over the three popular areas.. south idol, gold room and forsaken shadows. Maybe this is in the works now.

I mean looting cursed blades has become too much of the focus for too many people. Future new content should add looting for items that can be found in places other than Tormenta and Raven's Cove, new sailing loot items and upgrades, new high level quests and the like in order to spread the usage pressure out more evenly across all the islands.
