Hi Cap'n!
My first map I posted (on day 1) was done after me being offline for around 2 hours.
So I am very confident someone truly did it. But yeah - that sounds sad that our maps are not getting done. :(
After unlocking that "Grad 1" for burrying 5 treasures with at least 5 parts of loot, I lost my motivation to max that one out anyway. ^_^
"Grade" commendations are such a pain. Who knows if I will ever complete it? Oh well, only time can tell.
Carry on that song captain
I got a map off the quest board thinking Ive never seen that Island and I know them all like the back of my hand. It was the shores of gold on a map
So posted a map with 10 buried treasures on update day and then hopped back on over two days later and never got the notification for it being completed, now that I know it should’ve autocompleted of no one did it I wonder what happened :(
I really like these ideas. Will definitely make it a much more engaging quest board. In my personal experience I barely find any maps to do, and if I do, it's lame stuff like empty treasure chests
Hey Phuzzy!!!
I agree. Being able to bury empty crates is kind of a bummer.
I was expecting to see a legend like you here
I've gotten little trinkets empty chests and lots of boom boxes. People really do need more to motivate them to make maps.
I hate to say that I've been part of the problem. I was burying empty chests to be funny and to get credit for the achievement. I have taken all the kegs frim a fort and buried them mixed in with 5 actual treasures all as close together as I can put them and posted the map. I did find out that you cannot post maps created at outposts and that the x limit per map is 10. Although you can't post outpost maps on the board, you can still put them on the board.
As far as a possible change, many of us like to leave supply crates behind for other players so they have a happy surprise. What about the ability to post supply maps that show up at every outpost created where you bury your supplies at your last outpost just before you got off?
The Quest Board is definitely something that sounds like it'll be tweaked in later patches. I went to do one map and all I found was a Storage chest with barely anything in it. Not sure how they'll be able to make the maps global, given it'd be really difficult to find one map made by someone specifically (unless a search function was added, which would then reveal people's Xbox names), and what would happen to the maps other players have when one person finds it. Or, what if someone buries treasure on the same spot? A lot of technical problems would need to be figured out before this would be a thing.
If there were to be a search option you could always make it so as that players could name their maps as they put them up so others could then search for them
The overlapping chests wouldn't be a problem because chests only spawn based on the server's currently active quests. At least that is how I believe it works
in my opinion, i feel like Players should also get an amount of gold when placing their maps on the quest board. as in, depending on how many treasures you have buried on the map, it gives you then an amount of gold when you put the map up on the board. like as if you're selling your valuable treasure map.
Id rather get the commendations
considering the board is covered in G.H logos as if its managed by the gold hoarders I'm surprised that a small kickback like you mention isn't already in place.
I dug up a Castaway‘s Chest! Love the Quest Board :)
On one map island I dug up an Athena chest, on the other one a sailor chest, it's a fun experience since you have no idea who's map is it
I got a silver cup 😉🎉
@@itande0551 In how many attempts? I already did like 50of them and there was not a single one, that gave me actually good loot
@@barnabascsamango5703 The first one, the second had basic ashen and the 3rd one was trash
That opening joke was grand
I also 100% agree with the idea of this video. Giving it a quality rating would give it much more enticement. I´ll add to your idea that the map bundles could also show the rarity of the treasure on them making it more competitive and exiting for pirates who want to steal other peoples treasure maps to know if they are worth wile :D
As an alternative. I would love to see you able to post Treasure Maps and Bounties found in Bottles, Barrels, and Books across the SoT on this Board. Pirates have been begging for a way to clear out your Quest wheel if you dont like a certain voyage, and this would be the perfect way to dump extra stuff that someone else might find useful.
That intro reminded of that one intro you did that goes
"I once met a girl in thieves haven,
She was stranded and needed a-savin'!
She was a bit of a flirt, as she lifted her skirt,
And it slightly resembled lord gaben!"
At least how I remember it
One other thing the quest board could use is training companies indicators so I can raise my emmesary and collect from these maps.
I love that they added something like the quest board as an experiment and hopefully they tweak it after some feedback
Was half expecting him to say "and the anchor isn't centred on the sloop" at the end haha.
You are emotionally crippling me to the point of tears every time you point out the anchors are not centred. Bravo, sir.
With your idea with the color coding: it will give it a different name for how much treasure is buried. I buried just a captain's chest and it said it was a stash, but when I buried a reaper's bounty and some ashen chests, it said it was a hoard!
I bury everything on the outposts!
(That way people dig them up whenever they load in or come to turn in loot.
And if they don't like the loot, at least it's not hard to find like the other islands and turn in is right beside them.)
This is a great idea! I might try it
This is spot on man. Great idea to fix this because it really is sad thinking people are doing your quest but in reality, it's just the server change and no one got any of your loot
the color coded/loot quality of the maps is a fantastic idea as most of the time it's just unfilled supply crates or something you can't even really sell and feels like a waste to have picked up and completed! would love to see the quest board added on to/revised to really bring out the potential of them
I love the idea you gave of having a score that goes up when people find your treasure and it working like the ledgers for rewards but honestly I think they should make it it's own trading company entirely.
The Cartographers' Guild.
They stand by the board and when you post maps they give you small amounts of gold (scales based on the value of the loot in the map (maybe 10% or 20% of the value)).
I also think you should be able to sell them any unwanted quests from your wheel for tiny amounts of gold and rep. Less about profit and more to clear the annoying bottled quests you don't want.
Talking to them allows you to purchase better Titles (when you have a high enough Reputation with them) and cosmetics but also allows you to take Requests that are put in your quest wheel. They will have lists of the desired treasure that you will have to find yourself and bury on an island. (Maybe it could specify which island or maybe just which region) and once you have a map for that you can hand it in to them for high rewards. (A lot of CG rep and gold equal to at least 80% of the value (still shouldn't be worth the amount that selling the loot itself would be)).
The vault / shipwreck / ghost fleet equivalent for the CG could be to create a full voyage. You'd be given a special trinket and a bundle of map paper. Your task is to bury the trinket on a far away island and a map for it will be created. Then you will need to bury that map on a different island and then again and again and so on. (I would like to so you could make actual riddle maps or some kind of puzzle to lead to your treasuer but idk how they'd design that to work).
There would probably be a limit to the number of maps and islands you do (probably 5 at most?) But you would earn more gold and reputation when you hand the last map in based on how many different islands you buried on and, more importantly, how much extra loot you buried along with the trinket and map pieces on the way.
I'd like to think that the Requested Maps you hand in and the Voyages you hand in could actually be played by other players from the board but it would take extra care to make that work without issues.
The one absolute good about the way this system works is I don't have to carry reaper's chests to reaper's hideaway. Once you bury it it disappears from the map, safely tucked under the sand. Then you just post the map and regardless of if someone picks it up, boom, free reaper's XP.
Quality coded maps is an AWESOME idea! Also from the start I really thought, they available throughout all servers! I'm surprised, they are not?!
As you said: it would turn a gimmick into a really interesting feature!!
From my own experience:
Yesterday I did my first burying experience and everything I did was: taking animal cages and bury them below the sand on nearby islands.
I just want to get the achievements as fast as possible.
But by doing so my trash 'treasure' map can't be distinguished from real expensive treasure Maps.
So in the long run what's the point in hunting the buried treasure from all the players, when you know they could be Trash - literally...?
Spot on. Great ideas, hopefully this is the beta version. And honestly, a leader board and emissary type cosmetics would be enough for me to engage.
Totally agree with this. The map board could be a lot better. On the note of server closing and getting compensated anyhow, I call shenanigans. I have posted many maps, working towards tier 3, and I have only ever received notice that someone completed it twice. As for color coding, I think that takes out some of the fun. Knowing you're going to score big defeats the purpose. The board will be filled with useless garbage and nothing will get done. With only picking up 5 a day (maybe they should make it 2 per day or 5 every couple days), you're gambling on what you pick up. Other option for color coding would be you have to pay for these missions. The higher the color (payout) the more you pay for it, with the gold going to the poster.
am i the only one who noticed the subtle ancient skelly noises each time he showed the quest board
Kind of sad that this is the reality of the system in it's current state. However, what if this was just the beginning? Maybe they wanted to add the Quest Board in this form to see how/if the system would actually work, and once they realize it does work, they may then decide to expand on the system and add features like Falcore stated.
that is probably the case , this is a feature they have been working on since launch , they are probably taking it slow. honestly the more this game is updated the more it seems like they were forced to release it in a dressed up alpha state and now we are seeing the hard work that would have made the game whole if they were given more time before launching it.
I still hope that someday we will get these changes maybe next season for season 10 as a bonus for guilds being delayed
I think that the emissary ledger should be entirely replaced with burying treasure, that way anyone who wants to get the exclusive cosmetics for that faction would still be playing their relevant missions, but also contributing to the buried treasure economy. It would also make sense as the factions would want to recognize your efforts you for doing their work by setting up adventures for other crews
That poem at the start. Thank you Falcore for always making my day brighter
I wish these kind of updates would come around more often.
Id prefer if posting to the board included message in the bottles, you get an empty one (limiting it stops abusing it), put your map anywhere in the sea and it ends up on the board for others. As it's pointless the bury loot and head to a place where can sell the loot... Also works if your under attack and want to salvage some loot
Remember the big bird that sits on the warrior's shoulder? (I'm gonna call it an Albatros) I'd like to see that as a new enemy that attacks from above! XD
yeah the different colours would help a lot because right now all I got were half-empty storage crates and empty treasure chests. I think the colours would motivate players to actually bury some valuable loot. But only in combination with server merging questboards and some reward other than commendations. Sadly the questboard is just pointless right now.
I'm with you on all of it except color coding the maps, nobody will pick the low value maps and a crew will grab 5 of the higher value maps, do one of them and log off. What's buried and it's value should remain a mystery.
I disagree. If you don't know the value of the maps then 90% of the time you'll get garbage loot which will just make the mechanic redundant again.
I wonder if it is even technically possible to post maps across all servers. It could overload an island or lag out a server if somehow they were all linked.
Idk, I love that idea but with how many technical difficulties they come across when adding features, that sounds like a mammoth task.
Since Athena's Fortune has been in need of something new. Perhaps they could tie the quest board into that emissary system? Ledger rewards for posting maps, the better the treasure the higher the reward.
The core points mentioned in the video are exactly the same that I and others had brought up in Insiders, and I'm not surprised they continue to be brought up everywhere else.
Some other points I've mentioned elsewhere:
-Allow players to post maps at any outpost without forcing them to leave to another. (Forcing players to leave an outpost they buried stuff at isn't fun, nor an enjoyable use of time)
-Either make the generated maps better than faction voyages, on par, or remove them entirely. (One issue of the game currently, is that everything has to be worth more & more as it keeps getting easier to earn money (Ex: doubloons). If there's an easier/better option for gold, no one will do the trash option. Why do a generated map if they don't benefit you at all like the faction ones do, and they offer less reward.)
-Along with the above, give gold as a reward along with everything else. (Those of us maxed out or who don't care for the pass have literally no reason to use this system, when better options exist.)
-Increase/remove the map pickup limit. Not sure why this needs to exist outside of Alliance servers, which already can easily take advantage of existing sources of rep & gold.
-Reward more gold/renown/etc. based on the "tier" of loot buried/obtained. (Ex: Athena = x10, basic chests = x2, Villainous = x4, Ashen = x6)
-Add more rewards tied to the system, and or simply more commendations. (bury 1 of each item in the game = 1 commendation each, or 1 full commendation)
-Add a board to the Reaper's Hideout. (Sea-Posts have one, but not here?)
-Likely far more ideas on top of all of this.
Actually, i love too bury great loot like rage chest, drunk chest or a chest full of mermaid gems but i also love to bury snakes and barils for the maps c:
I like putting maps on Reaper's Hideout and Fort of the Damned so people are more likely to notice them on the board.
I actually did get a message on xbox one time that someone had found my treasure. It was pretty cool to hear. But I do think it's a waste to bury decent loot only for it to despawn.
Well done on that opening joke
I buried and posted a FoF, and it’s been 3 days and still no one has dug it up, I am really worried that somehow it got lost. Also what if someone sinks when they have your map, is it lost forever?
I picked up a map yesterday but didn’t get round to doing it….. as it wasn’t my map I couldn’t put it back on the quest board. So I has to leave it on the table in the tavern.
We need a pin map animations so all maps in your hand get nailed to the board rather than selecting them from a menu like the current system
A Stash appears to be either an NPC quest or small amount buried, and a Hoard appears to be 5 items or more. So this is kinda in the game already. The rest of the complaints are very valid, just had 9 or so maps destroyed by a server merge, feels bad.
I'm honestly shocked to learn that the quest boards are tied to the specific session, seems like such a waste.. Really do hope they fix this in a later update. One addition I'd probably make is for maps with a certain value or quantity of loot to be available to everyone on the server so it becomes a race to get it :D (or fight over it)
I think it could work great for a new trading company. Maybe you could bury your map and sell it to the company. The amount of gold you’d get from the treasure could be calculated as you bury it and the trading company could buy a whole map worth of loot for less gold than you would get selling it piece by piece to the gold hoarders or something, but you would be able to sell in bulk. Then the trading company could sell player maps to other players for a higher price than what the treasure would be worth, and the trade off in paying more gold than you would get back for it would be company experience?
Yeah, I had a bunch of new players chasing me and somehow they had ghost stuff, but me and my friend did a ashen lord and I buried it. We swung past a outpost and I just posted it, I had no time anyways
Someone in the development should listen to this man
I like the idea! but I just use the maps for fun or be creative. I do a flameheart and bury a ashen dragon loot and keep it on my table till someone sinks us since my ship is literally a ghost ship and whoever sinks us deserves the map to uncover my ships secrets! It’s fun to do that
color coding system is a GREAT idea
The current round of achievement hunting is causing most of the problems here. How do you make money while getting the burying achievements done? Bury empty chests & crates. Once it stabilizes some that would be a better time to reflect and make some improvements. The initial impressions are valid and there are some ways the posting mechanic needs improved, but some of the suggested fixes may become moot.
I am wondering how many others take a forts worth of kegs and bury them intermingled with the loot for fun surprises.
If you make it cross server, you would take away the possibility to randomly finding burried treasure (they make a "thunk" sound when you walk on them), OR there would be an overload of burried treasures everywhere, and would just be messy.
I'm sure there's a solution, to this, ofc! But I can see why it's not as easy to implement as we'd want to.
Make servercluster for example?
the start was perfect,
well done falcore.
Your ideas to the quest board are just amazing, there's nothing else to say about that :D
I totally agree with everything, and I'm glad you made this video. I really hope Rare will listen to this.
When I get my commendations, I won't be doing it anymore. I enjoyed making a couple maps with a buttload of treasure for someone to pick up, but it took a long time to do. I could be okay with the lousy reward, because I get to help make peoples experience in the game better, but I can't even be sure anyone get to pick up the voyage. It might aswell get lost in the void, and then all I get is a lot of unessercary effort and time spend on an lousier reward.
Found something quite annoying with the burying and map system today, mate and I trying new update and all was great and fun, when galleon came and tried to spawn camp us, we were able to get out of it but by the time we were 2 of the other team just buried most of our best chests took ages to get in random spots instantly while fight was on and so completely takes away the side of the game, if someone takes your loot you can get it back ect, people are just using it to spawn camp for abit, park their ship abit away, instantly bury the best items you have while youre respawning then running away so you dont even get a chance to go get your stuff back even if you did get back near their ship, it honestly made me really worried about how worse it will get when more and more players do this and just skip any challenge or rivalry for a fair chance to get your stuff back or fight properly when people just will end up doing this thing more and more so yeah rip.
I was really hoping that the system would allow you to save loot to be dug up at a later date. Like, if your mates have to go abruptly and they dont have time to go to an outpost. You bury the loot for the next time everyone can play together.
That would have made it an actual useful and cool mechanic/quality of life change but nope. They opted for another gobshite forced player "interaction" and burying means basically nothing because of it. Well done Rare, nailed another update!
Great ideas but maybe rare didn't want to overshoot with the new mechanics at start but instead released in this state to check out how it would be accepted by the community. It definetly has room for improvment and it feels more like a blank canvas for future updates than a finished feature.
I completely loved the ranking idea btw, that's dope!
Fun fact: the shores of gold can be mapped by burying tresure there.
Yeah I've taken billboard quest, reburried the treasure i Found. Along with other stuff I didnt bother taking to my ship. at least 15 Maps I've posted. I still have not gotten paid, or any accomidations awarded almost 9 days later =/
I had come up with an idea that I wish the game would let me implement. I thought of the idea of burying chests in a sort of grid and mixing them with kegs to make a sort of mine sweeper mini game for people to play. I thought it’d be entertaining but I’d never really get to watch people do it.
I also think it would have been cool if they allowed you to bury your maps. Before I played the update I thought I would make an epic treasure hunt where i bury some treasure on an island as well as another map that leads to you another island with even better loot and so on.
Yea the colour coding would be an awesome system to use
Yes, yes and more yes - you should be a consultant, let's hope they have big things planned
This is why Rare should really get rid of the NDA on the Insider build - this could have been hammered out before season launch and knowing them it'll never get the revamp this system so desperately needs.
Oh that sucks !!! :(
I've burred some really good st7ff for people too. Bums me out knowing that likely hood is no one had them. :(
By the by I always grab at least two of the boards.
"Took her home for a F... abulous night of dinner, movies and games".
Then they fu-
I simply adore this Season 5 menu music. Is there anywhere we can listen to it (other than in game)?
First
dammit
Indeed u are
LIAR!
Along with these recommendations, why not make it so you can bury another map and make a looting chain. Imagine you go to an island to dig up treasure only to find 10 maps with even more treasure on them
Did a Ashen Lord solo run, buried all the loot and put the map on the board.
Hope than I made someone's day.
Thank you for doing this I got a huge amount of chests on a random one and they were all snake barrels
If everyone's maps went to all servers the quest board would have thousands of maps on it. I'm not sure if that would be good or bad.
Omg that Ad was fantastic
I’ve only been doing the quest board to do deeds that the season has with it
Man i regret watching this vid, its depressing learning how this sausage was made. The amount of valuable loot i just let disappear into the void
Guess the best way to have someone do your quest is to just deliver your map bundle to another crew. You won't get the worthless renown, but that's not why we do it!
0:02 I thought he was about to say something else
Edit: oh he actually said it after
intro is on point
As cool as it would be you're talking about possibly hundreds of ships on the same server to act on it. The game would just break. The only way it could work with the current functionality is if grabbing a map put you on a server for that specific map which is unlikely.
I feel like the quest board should be tied in more closely with the bilge rats
I thought that it should be broadcast on the first day it came out. It's stupid that it's not to me and I have asked a lot of people if they even plan to use it and everyone says no because it's just not worth it right now.
Just add a new trading company that's all about burying treasure. Have commendations and an entirely new reputation that goes to 75 to go with it. Also, give maps a rating based on island size, number of buried pieces of treasure and quality of said treasure.
You showed an Atari... And made me feel old cause I played on one of those lol
these are really good ideas. i thought to myself when the mechanic was released wow thats cool but whats the incentive
This man knows how to start a video.
If quests were universal across all servers wouldn't we immediately run into a situation where you could just go to an island strike down with your shovel and pretty much always reliably hit *somebody's* buried loot?
Not if they work like the randomly-generated maps that already were in the game before - the loot only spawns when someone takes the corresponding map.
Falcore, they should hire you man.
i love what they add to the game, but they just don't think it through..
sometimes i ask myself if they actualy play the game themselves.
I hide 10 merchant chest on an island. I got nothing for it and regretted doing it. It’s just some people grab quests and then leave with them. I have not gotten any successful map found just yet.
Is it a nitpick? Maybe idk, but did you know the capstan isn’t center on the sloop?
The board colors are a good idea
So its most likely that the treasure island map Hitbotc made never got dug up
Great idea!
But if maps were quality coded, why would I ever do a "grey outline" map? One of the benefits as it is, is that I have no idea what I get to find and that is fun! Compare that to the very much predictable state of the regular voyages and I have all the incentive in the world.
Anyone knows what song plays in outro? Im sure i've heard it somewhere, but i just can't remmember
top ten best intros
I buried a massive treasure haul the other day expecting to get a large amount of stuff back. Didn't get anything back from it because no one did it, kinda shit ):
This intro tho 😂
He brought her home and tucked :)
How would you handle people doing the same quest on different servers at the same time though?
I always forget to post my maps or get sank before I can post them....
I still haven't received a single slither of rep for all the treasure I've buried since the update, seems like a completely pointless feature for me at this point
So all the time i put into stashing loot in cool places was wasted? That's disappointing. I even put random powder kegs near the buried treasure to add a little spice to the voyage.
Side note, you cannot make a treasure map of powder kegs to post on the board. You can bury powder kegs, but it does not become a map. I took all the kegs from an inactive fort to a small island and buried all of them to make a map of all kegs, but the game wouldn't create a map.
the idea of maps being on every server is kinda bad cause like with a map you dont need the X to dig up the loot so in theory with the amount of players making maps you could stick ya shovel anywhere and dig up anything from an athena to a bottle of rum
