World Making The Ocean Dangerous

I feel like people should spend more time going through the ocean, but I also feel that rowing a dingy to the opposite end of the ocean with no excitement sounds kinda...bland; Maybe if you guys added more saltwater enemies in the game, it would add more excitement(like add corrupted divers or undead fish around Wynn and more mythological creatures like the Kuo-Toa or Sahuagin, and maybe even the Kraken as a miniboss around Gavel); And to get people to adventure in the ocean, you could make all the passes to other islands more expensive and make the dingys cheaper. You guys could also have amazing treasures have a rare chance of spawning on the ocean floor

 

There's already a Kraken, he's in a lake in Dernel Jungle somewhere.

But anyways, I feel like the ocean is already annoying enough, I don't really see a need to make it even more of a pain in the butt to travel over water.

 

Well that's the thing, they could make it faster to travel by boat and not by buying a pass, which they could make take longer

 

That's exactly my point. The ocean is already difficult enough to travel, so why encourage using a boat instead of the boat pass? It'll just make things take longer and waste time.

 

How is it more of a challenge?

 

Because instead of being able to just sail across the water you have to stop every 5 seconds to fight something

 

Well, the mob spawning could just be closer to the shores of the provinces and have neutral entities in-between...

 

True but it's still worse than before, because if there's any hostile mobs at all, it still makes it more boring and time-wasting. You can stop trying to convince me otherwise now, I think I've stated my opinion already xd

 

Ok, there's no need for me to continue this argument, it would waste both of our time, it was a pleasure having this argument with you.

 

the whole reason the seaskipper was add was so you could skip the sea
no one wants to spend like 10 minutes getting between islands on glitchy boats and adding mobs will just make it even worse
if you wanna make ocean travel more exciting then itd be better to add attack events or smth like that for the seaskipper itself (ie kraken attack, pirate attack, smth like that)

 

oh, ok

 

Yes! Please make a quest about kuo-Toa! Maybe they can make it so you need to fight one of their misformed god who's threatening selchar or another ocean place.

 

I actually like this....
Glitchy boats I thought were fixed, and stopping to fight mobs "might be annoying" so like you said shove em not in a direct travel route, boost up boat speed, etc

You can also maybe make these mobs drop high xp and stuff like the selchar reef loot

 

I WOULD DIE TO BE ABLE TO GO FULL WIND WAKER ON A KRAKEN. also #poll

 

Nice necro

 

Ik it wouldn't really fit the lore but I'd love some underwater passageways or bases :D or even a super long bridge from wynn to gavel, or maybe a cannon lol

 

No one sails the ocean. Like no one. Everyone uses the Seaskipper Captain to get across, there's no point wasting the mods' time on improvements that no one will enjoy my dude
