[@itande0551]

To be fair, to be the exact opposite, the name could be “Ares’ Wrath” or something along the lines Ares being the nemesis of Athena and the god of war, having more of a supper aggressive nature, while Athena is also the goddess of war, but a little bit more tactical. This could set up for both factions clashing into each other, which could spice up both Athena’s and Reaper’s factions in the area of pvp, making Athena’s faction not only the grinders of the sea, but becoming also a pvp cantered faction which will make most pirate legends which show off and believe to be the gods of the sea either drop down into the other factions or make them have the need to be good at pvp, returning Athena’s status to not be just a title that you spend too much time in this game farming. Obviously this will be a total reformation of what Athena’s faction missions are about adding new adventures and activities than just being a reboot of the main faction’s missions but longer, while leaving old players their respective glory, this will make grinding Athena much harder for new players with the new threat and leave only the “worthy” (either the ones good at pvp or/and the ones that know how to avoid trouble) this title, and of course a counterpart in Ares’ faction, where they will be quite similar but with a much more aggressive approach in their normal missions making them not just be Reapers on steroids, but an interesting faction that is the opposite of Athena’s This could also be an opportunity to add a grand scale pirate war between both factions

[@eragonargetlam8935]

i agree on that, i especially took heart to the hunters call voyage event, it made a good way to calm people down., the emissary however cant be added due to it allowing money to be made too easily, it would mean u get 1.75k - 2.25k for each splashtail. but i see what u mean

[@Quirary]

p.s: rare cant modify the emissary boost due to newer players being lead to confusion for no boost

[@Chellzie]

Out of all of these I think twisted knife sounds most interesting. Alliances with no incentive to betray sounds like fun as well as the ability for reapers to find bigger targets and allow people to hunt ships. I think best way the bounty one would work would be to alert the crew being targeted that they are a potential target but not tell them if/when a ship is coming for them and not mark them on the map. I also think it'd work best if the exact location of the hunted ship wasn't known, like the ship doing the hunting gets a paper that updates every like 10 minutes that says things like "last seen by Kraken's Fall" or "recently spotted sailing the Northern Shores of Plenty." Also definitely Bilge Rats need an update but the time limited cosmetics shouldn't come back.

[@MomradG]

I really love the Twisted Knife faction. I always help new players and really like to fight. But the problem with that is that I don't think anybody would use it. The usefulness of this faction depends on how many players are on the server, and how many of them want to fight. The idea is great, but the game is not ready for it. But I would really like to see more PVP based factions.

[@skeletonsithproductions6856]

I know this is going to be a very popular answer but I really want a captaincy update with a few bonus features as well. Here’s what I’m thinking. A kind of cave like area where you can hide your ship or something (not in game it’s like the sea of the damned so you can’t just run away with loot or anything) and you can swap ship types there, keeping your resources but not emissary level and then you come out in a fresh server (to avoid a situation where 2 solo sloopers are fighting and one wins and gets all the loot but the other guy gets mad and swaps to a galleon with his friends and goes and kills the other sloop or something like that) a way to name your ship, add harpoon colors, railing customizations, add barnacles on ship hull, and all that cool stuff. You can challenge crew mates to a fight in your pirate cave area. Adding more ship types so I can play with all my friends, maybe a kind of fishing boat or something where there’s more than one stove and cool nets on it. Ropes that you can swing on from ship to ship. More rowboat types (cannon ones, ones with small sails, etc). This game is really great and I hope we can get some more great updates in the future. Some bug fixes wouldn’t hurt either (HIT REG) As well as removing sirens from arena or at least reducing the spawn rate. I would hope they would add more tall tales so we can continue the story with the Capt’n and maybe learn a bit more about the ancients and flameheart’s origin story. I don’t know how this would relate to captaincy but these are just some ideas for other updates. Gamer tag: MrchntOdeath

[@strixsoren6847]

I love that final idea of using screenshots to create painting in your ship. In fact, being able to customize the interior decorations on our ships would be absolutely incredible. Not counting the supply barrels btw.

[@simonnachreiner8380]

I do love the idea of the twisted knife. The alliance system as it is (when done smartly) basically let’s you get free gold from a crew even if you’re on the other side of the map the idea of a convoy system where one ship protects another would absolutely be loved by people who love to teach but hate having to effectively be a man down while doing so.

[@b.m.4415]

Hunters Call update idea: While running the HC emissary flag, you have a higher chance of getting meglodons and Krakens. You get HC rep for killing them, or completing a quest

[@gluten_free_cabbage]

I love the idea of the twisted knife faction although I think instead of voyage completions it should be if the escorted ship sells loot then the twisted knife gets rep and gold as players don’t finish voyages due to them being long most of the time I think making it so twisted knife can’t enter alliances to stop alliance servers from abusing this and the escorted ship also can’t be in a alliance while selling or being escorted would be a better balance. I also really like the bounty idea but they should have it so the twisted knife get gold and small rep if the bounty leaves to stop people just leaving along with this the bounty can’t put down tall tale to discourage them portal hoping or running to shores of gold. Sorry for the paragraph I just can’t say enough on how much I like this idea.

[@SpringSixPLAYSGAMES]

I think that along with a captaincy update a faction should come with it. Something like the Grand Maritime Union, they would offer a voyage to steal stockpiles of treasure from the trading companies. The good thing is you could be able to sell the stolen loot back to the trading companies but for less it could've been, seeing as it was stolen. Also they can send you on missions to steal what is known as Tome Of Company Secrets, a book that holds all the secrets of the certain factions. The only problem is that if you put up an emissary for the trading companies when reaching level 5 you can spot the Company Secrets on the map.

[@AShinyRay]

Nice idea, loving the use of the GMU!

[@SpringSixPLAYSGAMES]

@@AShinyRay I enjoy this game and i enjoy discussing and speculating about the game even more. I'm glad you liked my concept, thanks !!!

[@fulcrum2867]

It would be cool to see a Grand Maritime Union faction. You could be tasked with taking down pirates for a steady income, however any loot you try to sell to other factions while flying the Union's flag will be near worthless because you are a traitor to pirate kind

[@deadmemer4991]

Great video. I’ve been hoping for one of these update concept videos for a while.

[@AShinyRay]

Thanks! I still have a few ideas and love making them. They do really challenge my creativity.

[@pekvanc5354]

I have an idea, i speculated this to be the pirate's life tall tale structure, when the first trailers dropped. I didnt know it would only be for that. So my idea: Memories of the Damned. The Castaway would give you a bounty for a skeleton. You would have to bring back the skull, than the Castaway would harvest the memories of that captain. We would travel to the sea of the Damned. And would have to relive the memories. But, take something from there, maybe treasure. Thiese voyages would be dungeons, and all player would be notified by a big beacon on the sky, that te voyage is happening. So they would be able to also go after the voyager crew. Or wait at the portal. Possible the portals would defend themselfs from campers. They would send out gostships and boarding phantoms. You would be able to take different dungeon voyages. With different tasks in the inside. This would greatly differ from the regular companies voyages, being much more expensive. You would earn reputation and emissary levels. And eventually a phantom curse of course. This is my idea, hope you like it.

I really like this! Just need to allow other to follow you or intercept you when coming out the portal.

[@CaptainFrank2250]

Myself and others would agree that captaincy is at the top of the list with new adds to the game. The obvious ship skin saving as well as pirate costume saving, because sometimes I can’t remember what I was wearing a moment ago. A rework of the captains quarters, make the default galleon bare. Voyage table and wooden char, shoddy bed, chandelier, no fancy decor. Plain. And have decor customization, but to have most of it be EARNED through your achievements and voyages. Make your ship have stories to tell. Like, a meg tooth, vials of kraken ink or have the lantern straight up change to the kraken lantern with a kraken eye. A framed painting that can be a screenshot. Make the wooden galleon model in the galleons captains quarters a mini version of your ship. Make it look personal And of COURSE, NAMING. YOUR. SHIP. We all do it, but I want people to see my ship and see her name on the plaque and the bow, or when at closer distances it will have a mini island card that says the name of the ship and the name of its “appointed Captain” if the player so chooses to have their name show. I want people to see my ship and know that “The Salty Pickle” is on the waves. It will really help with the whole “making a name for yourself” aspect at least in server. It would open a larger possibility of player recognition throughout the session. Like if a whole server was REALLY getting into role playing the part of pirates, seeing a ship and recognizing her from previous encounters. People already dominate servers and run them 24/7 for their cheap grinding, but imagine a server being used as an RP server, Like a dedicated server with regular players, like your favourite Gmod server, eventually you will run into the same people and make a name in crows of similar folk GT: CaptainFrank739

[@sr_trooper9172]

another thing the twisted knives could do is give you merchant hunts where you go and hunt down don board able npc merchant ship (similar to skelly) and you dont get loot just money for sinking them, it would also explain some of the merchant ship wreck voyages

[@thatonefish9943]

With The Twisted Knife I would like as if there are voyages for escort when a player puts down an escort request and the player who accepts it would get a lot of gold and doubloons another voyage could be destroying a ship that just sunk another ship and again you’d get a lot of gold. They could also add some way to foil the reaper by maybe destroying supplies on another island which would be guarded by reaper ghosts. This would give you around the same gold as a lost shipment voyage but there’s a time limit after doing it so you can’t farm them really easily. Rep would be gained by successfully helping another player with their escort voyage. Rep could also be gained by selling reaper emissary flags which would give a lot.

[@Quackky-vw2jv]

I would really like to see a hunters call update. I’m not the only one who thinks that their time of relevance has come to an end. It needs an update. Catching and selling fish doesn’t make a trading company, if they could add a emissary system or a set of voyages. It would spike the popularity, and maybe they could have fish that you couldn’t put into your inventory, so a added threat of stealing would be added.

Factions in Sea Of Thieves aren't really Factions they're just people you can buy/get quests from. I would love to see an actual Faction system with different fleets of different factions and if you joined them they wouldn't attack you. And different ranks actually making a difference like maybe at max faction rank you could hire a npc crew or something. Another thing they sorely need to add is npc human ships this also ties in nicely with the faction system they should add. I'm sick of the only npc ship there being is a skeleton ship. And I know that players take the place for that but it would still be cool

[@bunchflttrsndnumbrs]

[@rwalper]

I'm loving the expansion of the edge of the map before the shroud kicks in and the large empty sea to the south west of the whole map.

But surrounded by empty ocean with pretty much no land in sight was awesome. I really hope they don't clutter it up again...

[@Iszth1]

[@b0wler937]

This is a rare request, but I want the next update to be based on the arena. After all this time it’s gotten kinda bland in my opinion, ya know doing the same thing over and over again just trying to do a little pvp. I think that they should maybe make a Hunger Games type thing for Arena, as in like 10 ships should start out at different islands spread on the adventure map. As time goes by, the shroud closes in, making the playing area smaller and smaller. If you get sunk, you’re done. Last one floating wins. Great Content as usual. My GT is OpulentMender64.

[@fazekoosh6187]

i really want something to do with bounties just like the twisted knifed except that its like a passive thing where there is no emissary for it and when you spawn into a game there will be a bounty board of a maximum of 3 posters of 3 crews that have caused the most chaos in that server e.g killing player, ships you get the point and on the poster will be the last known region the crew has been in making it more easier to find them and with this being an update if the players are running you can now shot the sails with your cannons or guns to rip holes in the sail to slow them down and you can make bigger holes depending on the weapon your using and when you sink the crew a collection of skulls from the different crew members of the ship can be picked up and they will sell at a reasonable price at the npc at the bounty board at any outpost but you might think that oh if i just rip they're sails to shreds then i can just catch them easily but that crew can repair those sails but take some time and can make you venerable to being shot by the other ship with an eye of reach so its more i a risk and reward for repairing the sails and nerfs those reaper runners...... god that was a lot of typing GT:FaZe koosh69#962

I feel like in regards to a lot of your suggestions requiring treasure to be specifically "Stolen", Rare would have to add a tag or something that appears on stolen loot so you can tell it apart. Nobody wants to sit there for half an hour sifting through their loot figuring out which ones were actually aboard an enemy vessel.

Personally want ether a Update to the Hunter’s call or a new “Monster” Hunting faction where hunting Megs and Kraken would be the goal. When you do a voyage for them they give you ether a horn or musical tone to summon the beast to fight, they could alternatively give you a compass leading to the location of one. The Kraken and Megs would drop new loot like a giant Meg Fin and Kraken tentacle which are treated as chest and able to be given to the faction for extra gold and rep.

I know that this one maybe sort of like the order of souls but what if there was a Trading Company that represented the Ferry of the Damned. Now that Phantoms are in the game, there could be an update where there are different varieties of phantoms. The idea of the faction would be the find them and have them returned to the Sea of the Damned. You could have players finding lost souls on islands or underwater shipwrecks using that lantern from The Fate of the Morningstar. Perhaps there are some souls who refuse to go to the Sea of the Damned and could be a boss battle.

[@failmanfinder338]

I would like a comunity Company, having an own fort by travel to a portal at the Sea of the Damned ir something like that. A place where you and your mates can decorate with paints and create strange vaults that can be offer to other Pirate's to earn reputation while the others will earn gold (or doing treasure maps). The idea is to make a more unique experience... And maybe create your own flags, to represent your country, making movies or something like that. Also the fort will be able to get sieged by other players or skelletons to give it a PvP or PvE experience

[@RickNemo]

For the next update I would then to add something not to much but I truly think it would be nice if they added a thing in the PL hideout a Duel you can do with your crew mates or other teams you can go against, like a tdm. They would range from 10 million coins - 25 mil these arenas that cost gold would be exclusive to fighting your own crew and would be certain maps because otherwise not many players would do it because it costs so much. So it will be free to play the duel arenas. However PL is a requirement so there’s more experienced players you go up against and so it adds something more important to being PL while there may be some arenas requiring commendations. Such as like a venomous arena where lots of snakes lurk thru the greenery to attack you, the requirements for this arena ask? You need to have Grade 5 for selling merchant snakes on time. And another example of this would be a Devil Roar arena with the requirements to buy it would be maxing out all devil roar commendations hence the arenas that cost gold to purchase. All arenas won’t be on current islands, instead new islands like a dome under a cliff where you duel or with like high mountains making it unable for you escape the arena. How it would work you ask? You start off with 1 pineapple and 4 coconuts or pomegranates. Each kill fills your health. (If a team duel for the arena then the Heath would be a 50% hp increase, and if your hp is maxed it would apply overheal for the amount as a megeladom or kraken over heal effect) it would be a race to 15 win for these duels. And you would have 1 blunder bomb and a firebomb (there will be a small pond for you to get water to extinguish yourself depending on the map, however for some duel arenas you may have a pre filled water bucket and instead of 1 fire and blunder there will be 2 fire bombs if there are no lakes or ponds). Some maps may consist of ashen wind skulls or tridents depending on maps, located more towards the center of the map. And ammo boxes will be either at center or 1 ammo box for both sides of the map. You would start with no ammo however so you would be forced to head to the center of the map to acquire ammunition for your weapon so you can’t hide. And barrels to supply you with food to heal your pirate and share with your fellow crew mates. There will be a separate reputation tab for winning duels and streaks. A 15 ws will grant Grade 5 ‘never losing champion of great duels’ and the title with the same thing as the commendation and the other commendation will be getting grade 5 ‘champion of great duels’ which is winning 500 duels. How would you choose your weapon load out you ask? There will be a separate pistol sniper set for you to chose or a ‘random weapon generator’ so you could start with random weapons. But other teams will have to both use the same weapon loudout with a box saying ‘Choose : both same weapons and another saying choose own weapon loudout’ if 2 votes go to the same thing then that will win but if it’s 1-1 vote a 50/50 coin (using the gold hoarders coin with red and gold on one side and the red being player 1 teams and the gold is player 2).

See a lot of people wanting a Hunters Call rework. Makes me think it would be great if Rare added more sea life in general to the game (i.e. whales, jelly fish, sea turtles, seals, dolphins, etc.). Other than sharks, the ocean is surprisingly empty in this game. Could even make a "conservation" emissary that works to save these animals from poachers or something (i.e. Sea Shepherd) similar to what they have in Red Dead Online.

the merfolk one is genius but has a massive flaw, in the lore ramsey gets magic earings that allow him to communicate with the merfolk and we dont have the earings

[@GlutenIspeak]

i think that the merfolk is a good idea so to the south (get it cuz Sirens) Beach of every outpost ther would be a table and you would have to go a little under water the flame heart eeeeeh i dont know the knife is a really good idea its just good of new players and the reapers the rats yes the chroniclers amazing idea i think its great and i am still asking my self at 3am why the painting is still not in the game and i wish AShinyRay a very pleasant day

[@kleinen875]

Love the twisted knife, i would personally level that up to max within a week

[@SIydy]

The fact that you predicted the hide out dang reapers

[@kellenwilham8558]

I think we should be able to name our ships. Like they should have a title plate on the back of galleons and brigs, then just some writing on the side of sloops

[@raccoonsgrace2232]

I really liked the flameheart faction, although I have two problems. First off, it would get rid of the reasons to play reapers bones, even after reaching level 75, and also, I don’t think flame heart would be a good choice to head up the faction. He’s an obvious villain that probably going to die in the upcoming tall tales. I think the best choice would actually be flameheart Junior, his son. Junior could come back, and team up with Wanda warsmith, otherwise known as the masked stranger, and instead of it being like “we worship flameheart“, it could probably be more like “we stand for the thrill of PVP and for the heat of battle, but we don’t stand for flamehearts ideals”. Like they’re willing to share the sea so long as others engage with them

[@sideshowirl6779]

My character and ship are very sunken and underwater themed so i very much want an underwater faction

[@samu4236]

I want an update that each week or month, a different voyage is added, something that gets me back in the game each week, could be just a normal order of souls mission, but in each biome, and theres a new title or reward for us to get.

[@IKHAATHAAT]

There is mate, daily deeds and events ;)

[@tomthecat2658]

A idea I have is some sort of ancient people trading company where you do things like recover paintings or items made from the ancients unlocking the each ancient mask until level 75 where you unlock the priest it would be good friends Athena’s fortune in the merfolk

[@Hailstrumm]

Idea: A Diving Bell You Could Pickup Muich Like Row Boats And When You Use Them They Lower To The Sea Floor Like An Elevator

[@larshaas2658]

I'd love a privateer faction: the world powers have heard rumors about the sea of thieves. They want to control the trade there but can't due to how dangerous and difficult it is to get there. You will be tasked by a representative of one of the world powers to go and actively hunt and steal from players doing merchant runs. Preferably stealthily and without casualties to prevent these operations from being exposed and stopped, encouraging stealth, but getting a big fat reward! (3×) the money!

[@docterzero1503]

A merfolk trading company would make the most sense, especially following the appearance of the Sirens

[@sterben8869]

Personally I would love to see more dangers added to the sea, like whirlpools that if you get sucked in your ship suffers extremely heavy damage. Or alternately water spouts that push your ship around and also do damage. Just a few ideas that I think would be fun to see in the game (these new dangers might find use in new PvP engagements as well)

[@shay6619]

I’d like to see a pirate legend update as it feels there’s not much left to do now or anything to do with money earned

[@bluenredgaming2327]

What I would love is a way for 4 or more people to join so you have a fleet of 4 of your mates on a galleon and 3 on a brig or something like that instead of having to glitch the game. And those twisted knife + legends of the flame factions are a really good idea 👍

[@AShinyRay]

Thank you!

[@johncenasmom]

i love the idea of being a grunt of a fleet, feels very piratey

[@h.voy_]

Love the video, great ideas as always!

[@AShinyRay]

Thanks very much! Nice to see you!

[@lukasnather4429]

I would absolutely love a Flameheart update, after the ashen winds update it just went silent about flameheart until he was brought up in a pirate's life, so if there would be a flameheart update i hope it would be a new faction just like you said in the video, or something big at least.

[@flynnforgeau9750]

You basically called season 8 with the new reapers faction and quite a few of it's mechanics.

[@yosukehanamura9615]

Only flaw I see with twisted knife is what’s stopping people from joining, taking the pay for “protection” then just leaving?

[@TheeHobbyHub]

I’d love if they added new hazards like jellyfish and stuff like that too.

[@thefaceofbobby509]

It would be interesting to add AI crew mates for solo players who want to use a gallon. They have to suck at everything but would still be interesting to see how it works

[@macewindow149]

Tbh, I want the level cap to go up to something crazy high like 500 because it may take forever to get max, but that's the point. I've been max in everything for almost a year now, and I want the satisfaction of leveling up, but I also don't want rare to add like 50 factions. If the level cap was like 500, being max level would actually be pretty impressive and people wouldn't constantly complain about "Oh, there's nothing to do because I'm max already"

[@crescendoverture]

time to also post this as a comment because idk if ray wants this as a reply or separate comment: i would love an update with more random encounter bosses, of a similar vein with the kraken and megalodon. most common requests would be the big-ass crab and the leviathan, but i'd also like some sea of thieves-specific original bosses that could be summoned. gt: DankPoopstane

[@crabbybubble3533]

Just give me captaincy and I'll be a happy man also I think a reason to return to dead man's grotto(first potc area forgot the name) would be cool to like gamble with your friends since there is dice in the tavern

[@AShinyRay]

Yes and yes!

[@stormplayz1677]

Rare has to do more tall tales like the pirate's life tall tales bc I loved going to a different area (meaning outside of the sea of thieves) and unlocking all the commendations easily

[@thecoolaxolotlnova8523]

What if the mermaids would give you quests to intercept siren cargo, like a timed quest where you have to show up at a certain time.

[@r.o.j2638]

I Hope they make more cons of pvp so we can have more ships in one server and more interactions with other players

[@TenNineD]

The twisted knife one is such a good idea

[@rickardrakkoon2500]

At this point I think RARE is ok with just cashing in on PoTC and drip feeding npc's as cameos. I just don't see them pouring effort into new factions or quests when they're cashing in heavy off PoTC. They only did the big updates when player count drops or the emporium isnt making "last quarter" money or better

[@Nitro-nj3mc]

I think his twisted knife idea is actually great

[@MelStaub]

Oh my, this would be amazing! :O

[@Eskiii]

I would love if they remade the hunters call. I absolutely love the idea of it but its so badly made. I think it could be cool if you got a map that shows a location of new sea monsters/megalodon and you have to find the place and play a song or lure it out with bait or something. Then add underground vaults (sort of like the ashen curse place however not sure what would be inside, maybe a parkour and then a puzzle or a boss) And then make fishing more rewarding and a few more qol and it would be probably one of my favourite companies

[@zacharyfoeri3606]

What about a news or mail trading Company that delivers information across the sea of thieves. Who make about double a average gold hoarders voyage, however they are marked during the entire duration of their voyage and whoever sinks them can claim their information and deliver it themselves for bonus money.

[@joseph-cs1pq]

i absolutely love the twisted knife idea but the problem i see with it is, if hiring them costs too much then whats the upside?

[@raylen5232]

I would not mind more factions with new things to do, but more factions that only have a very specific way to get rep (like hunters call or sea dogs) end up just becoming a grind to rank them up as well. I feel like the approach should be to add more companies withought a rep system like the bilge rats, so there is still new content, with ought more boring things to grind.

[@sillybilly206]

i love how some of this has become true like the pvp factions :D
