https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1GwpqB ... t=1h13m41sForsaken Shores out 19th September. Free as always.
Summary -
New World Location - The new zone will be based on volcanic islands
Islands will have erupting volcanoes and geysers that can damage players and ships
Water around the islands can boil/heat up, which can damage players who are swimming
Means bringing your ship in close to the island may be risky
Rowboat makes an entrance - A good solution to the hazards of the new zone. Park your boat and row to shore!
Can be used for other applications like storing chests, baskets, crates, etc.
Probably also has some sneaky applications too, like a bombing run
New Merchant Quests - these appear to be "transport" based missions where you take items from location A to location B. Definitely a response to all our feedback
Plants - Need to be kept in water or have water frequently applied to keep them healthy
Rare Cloth - Need to be kept away from water or they will become damage
Rum - Need to keep this from being moved around too much? (lost audio for a few seconds)
New Cannonballs for players - these appear to be based on the cursed cannonballs encountered in Cursed Sails. Players will be able to use these, although probably in limited supply/quantity. This is gong to be a lot of fun!
Reaper's Mark - A new type of flag you apply to your ship that lets everyone else on the server know where your ship is located. Appears to be designed to promote pvp mechanics.
