marshyds Posted June 25, 2024 Share Posted June 25, 2024 If a monkey banner is present on a boat then players sailing on it will not encounter monkey pirates. Currently it's purely decor, so giving it an actual use would be nice An alternative is making the yellow monkey boats do the same.

chaosmonkey Posted June 25, 2024 Share Posted June 25, 2024 Not against this idea, but I would prefer if there was actually a good reason to engage with the pirates rather than scaring them away with a cannon. As it stands right now there's no incentive. If you actually engage, it's all downside: spend resources for combat, and now you need to take a trip to the monkey island to deal with cursed trinkets.

Oyrx Posted June 25, 2024 Share Posted June 25, 2024 When moon quay first came out, I thought they would prevent raids (I was wrong).

Bandanas are pretty nice. You can loot their sunken chest if they spawn with one. Sometimes it's fun to just fight things. I haven't found that removing a monkey curse is all that inconvenient. I also like that you have the option to let them rob your twigs or scare them off with a cannon.

I would love this change. However, this has been suggested a few times going all the way back to the start of the beta. Klei signaled that this change is probably not going to happen when they changed bottle treasure reveal chance to be 100% after returning the cracked pearl. Hopefully they have something bigger/better in mind for the pirates.
