Hello, community!
We wanted to get your thoughts on what features we should work on next! What would you want to see added to the game? Please read the brief descriptions on the features and their functionality below and cast your vote by following the provided poll link at the bottom!
Officer Follow Command
This feature is a new Command for officers to ‘Follow’ you. You’re gonna go fish? They’ll fish with you and are able to use your bait! Going to craft? They’ll do the same by making decisions on what to craft and when by using any resources you provide. Want to go out of town? Bring some bodyguards! As a result, this means that just about every activity you do as a Merchant will be increased in efficiency by bringing an officer (or multiple officers) along!
Town Quartermasters
This feature will add a Quartermaster and extra NPCs to towns which will allow you to more specifically work on your reputation with them and gain access to many new things! Think of Quartermasters from MMORPGs where higher reputation ranks unlock more special rewards! As you gain more reputation, these Quartermasters will provide extra materials, gear, crafting recipes unobtainable any other way which will have special stats and purposes, the ability to unlock new Adventures, and much more!
Merchant Exploration
Sounds simple enough, right? But imagine there was a great reason to leave the safety of town! Collect rare materials to use for special interactions and bartering, run specially designed “obstacle courses” to win even greater rewards, find the hidden paths to special treasure, and climb, climb, climb! All while playing as the Merchant! Your rewards will vary vastly based on what you choose to do with your winnings!
Merchant Skills
The Merchant is clearly very talented! With Merchant Skills, you would be able to track all of your capabilities (more than 20 skills!) and level them up accordingly, earning special rewards for each level, and each milestone. This would track and reward you for crafting at any of the crafting stations, gathering wood or other materials from any source, fishing, exploring, and just about everything else you can do! These skills will reward you with a new item we will add into the game which will allow you to grant experience to any hero in the realm, or even all heroes in the realm, allowing you to help under leveled heroes stay caught up with the herd, or catch your officers up after a death!
Please take all of this information into consideration, and vote on the poll! Select up to 2 options and let us know what you want to see next! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments of this post or on Discord/Twitter!
