We've discussed this in the Discord Stage call for Rewards and at present we're not looking to make changes to the Dwarf Multi Cannon. It's already really strong and we didn't feel like a buff to it was entirely necessary to be honest. There's also some lore reasons that we discussed which justify that stance, to do with Dwarven cannons not being suitable for the types of cannons you'd find on Ships made by humans.

Yes, I think it would be weird not to, however I think this is something we've decided to look at if the skill passes 'lock-in'. Unfortunately as it's so early in the design process we didn't have the info yet on what that pet would look like, we've made some suggestions in the Office but not had a proper decision yet! Also curious to know how much info players want about it, or how much should be kept a mystery!

Not a problem at all, we've committed to running a community-voted/player design compertition if Sailing passes 'lock-in' for the cape aesthetics! :)

That is so pretty! As mentioned in the blog, we've committed to a competition to decide on the best cape/icon if the skill passes 'lock in' as we want to make sure that the community feel as involved as possible on the skill.

As mentioned by some other gamers in the thread, we included these community examples to give you an idea of where the skill is heading but they don't take into account stuff like Colossal sized ships which would need more space. At present we haven't had enough design time to work out a new map for you so we decided to include these images in the blog as what direction we are thinking of heading in if the skill passes 'lock in'.

I am so happy to hear that we have your support so far! Throughout refinement you all have given great feedback and suggestions, and we look forward to working with you if the skill passes 'lock-in' even further. :)

Not a problem! In the blog post, we've committed to running a player design competition to submit and then vote on your favourite design(s) if the skill passes 'lock-in' so we can discuss that then!

The survey data we had from what I recall seemed to really favour the idea that the map would become populated after you've charted it. I asked your question to the dev team and they said they really like the idea, not opposed to it, but we can't promise anything until we've done a proper investigation of the tech work involved in making this happen.

We're having lots of conversations with all the different teams involved (Art, Production, Community, Dev) and we will need to be clever about how we manage this "project of projects". With this being a huge project, we're confident we'll have additional resource to help make it as best as it can be. We've already mentioned in previous blogs though that some things like Tertiary training methods (e.g Ocean Raid) is unreasonable to expect at launch, so should the skill pass 'lock in', we'll see how much we can fit and be transparent about what players can expect. Having said that we can see that some players do want some elements of mystery from a launch - so we'll try to figure out how to handle that!

Yes! It's not technically a 'resource' but more a 'reward. It would be dropped from monsters!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it, you'll have a chance to vote on the skill once we're out of the refinement stage :D. Still LOTS more to be discussed and polled but the team is super excited as it's all starting to come together :)

Thanks for that feedback, we really appreciate it. Have you got anything I can pass on to the team about what is swaying it into minigame territory? Would be keen to recommend changes if this is an area we can improve.

From Mod Elena, this would probably depend on what you're fighting. We imagine you'll primarily want to use ship combat unless someone is on your ship or you've left your ship to go on an island or something similar. Hope this helps!

Thank you for engaging with us on this. Would you be able to tell us a bit more about whether this is due to the rewards blog that we just published, or more just a general feeling through refinement? Also, what aspect of refinement so far has you feeling like this? I'd love to put forward suggestions about anything that could we do to help refine the skill further away from a 'minigame'!

Heya, we will definitely get into that in the next video - the devs have talked a bit about how Islands are a good part of 'reward space' for the skill as when you're on an Island you're not technically 'Sailing' anymore. Very keen to hear what your thoughts are on the next blog! (early July)

Hey! I'd love to help out with this one. A big passion for the dev team is being creative with what is out at sea. What if you could blow up a pirate ship with your cannon? What if an enemy was too strong to take down with traditional methods? The sky is kinda the limit here so we really think combat/ship weaponry could be really awesome for players and provide new experiences!
