Initial Post
Our first post two weeks ago outlined some of what we have planned and you can see that here: @hivedrip/a-pirate-saga-new-hive-based-discord-game-
What is it?
"A Pirate Saga" is an epic and immersive blockchain-based pirate adventure game that takes players on a swashbuckling journey through treacherous seas, hidden coves, and ancient maps in search of fame, fortune, and the ultimate pirate legacy. Players are transported back to the Golden Age of Piracy, a time of lawless seas, hidden treasures, and daring escapades. Players step into the boots of a daring pirate captain and embark on a high-stakes quest for the greatest treasure the Seven Seas have ever known.
A Pirate Saga combines the excitement of blockchain technology, NFTs, and strategic gameplay to create an engaging pirate adventure. Players can set sail, collect ships, unlock legendary pirate ranks, and compete on leaderboards to become the ultimate Pirate Legend in this immersive and ever-expanding pirate world.
We are now live! What's new?
When you register, you get to choose from 4 classes: Navigator, Fighter, Healer and Scavenger.
Navigator
You are the master of the high seas. Your expertise in charting courses, reading the stars, and navigating treacherous waters is unmatched. You steer the ship through dangerous storms, uncharted territories, and hidden passages, ensuring the crew reaches their destinations safely and swiftly. Your knowledge of maps and navigation tools is vital for uncovering hidden treasures and secret pirate havens.
50% less chance of encountering a storm and higher chance to discover an island.
Also the !setsail cooldowns on bad outcomes is reduced. So you can sail more often. A role-specific command is currently being worked on.
Fighter
The Fighter is the backbone of the pirate crew, skilled in the art of combat and weaponry. Whether it's facing off against rival pirates in intense ship-to-ship battles or defending your crew on uncharted islands, you are the one who wields cutlasses, muskets, and cannons with deadly precision. Your bravery and combat prowess make you a force to be reckoned with, ensuring the crew's safety in the face of danger.
You get double the chance to find and plunder another ship and slightly reduced chance of rough seas.
You have a special command called !fightmonster
Healer
The Healer is the heart of the crew, responsible for tending to wounds and maintaining the health of your fellow pirates. With knowledge of herbs, medicines, and first aid, you play a crucial role in keeping the crew fit for their adventures. Whether it's nursing injured comrades back to health or curing ailments acquired during treacherous journeys, your skills ensure that the crew remains strong and ready for the next challenge.
Chance of food supply running low is cut in half and your chance to find an island more than doubles.
You have a special command called !findhealing.
Scavenger
As the Scavenger, your keen eye and resourcefulness are unmatched. You excel at finding hidden treasures, salvaging shipwrecks, and gathering essential supplies. Your ability to spot valuable loot, uncover buried treasure, and gather materials for ship repairs and upgrades is essential for the crew's success. You're the one who turns forgotten relics and castoffs into valuable assets, fueling the crew's endeavors on the high seas.
If you find and plunder another ship you get double the amount of tokens.
You also have a special command, !smugglerun.
Together, these four roles form a dynamic pirate crew, each member contributing their unique skills and expertise to ensure the success of your daring adventures on the open ocean. Whether it's navigating perilous waters, engaging in epic battles, maintaining the crew's health, or discovering hidden riches, each role is essential for a legendary pirate saga
