Some New Customization Ideas

I just recently got a few new customization ideas, although they might not work very well because people might abuse them, or do something else with them. Also, If anyone wouldn't mind organizing this for me, that would be greatly appreciated.


Customizable Guild Ranks

This is probably the most realistic of my ideas. Anyway, almost everyone agrees we need more guild ranks, so why not let the Guildmaster decide what they're called and how many there are? Of course they would have to put a limit to this so people didn't make 500 guild ranks. Basically, I was thinking they would add another button only for the GM of a guild to be able to edit (Others would be able to go into and look at it if they wanted, but not change it) in the guild section of the friends and guild list thing. It could be called Ranks, or Guild Ranks or something. When the GM went into it, it would show the normal guild ranks we already have as default ranks. They could edit all the names, but they would have to be approved by Disney before they are official, or add/delete new ranks. They would probably be allowed anywhere from 5 to 10 of these for the same reason I mentioned earlier. Once they added the rank, they could decide that rank's privledges in the guild. Of course, they would need limits for this too. They couldn't edit the GM's privledges, (Although they could edit the name) because they would be able to do anything, from recruiting to promoting, and from booting members to ending the guild completely. This is also to make sure they can't promote multiple people to GM status. Let's say I come up with 6 ranks for my guild. I'll just call them Rank 1, Rank 2, Rank 3, and so on to make this less confusing. I can decide to not let Rank 1 recruit or anything like that. I can let Rank 2 recruit and remove 1 member per day. I can let Rank 3 recruit, remove 5 members, and promote 3 members to rank 2 a day. This would continue until I made all my rank privledges. Examples of the limits could be Rank 1 cannot promote or remove members, Rank 2 cannot promote members to a rank higher than themselves, or remove more than 10 members a day. No members of the guild would be able to remove anyone a higher rank than them. Oh, and they would be able to edit how long they would have to wait before the amount of people they removed was reset.

Customizable Clothing and Sails

This is the slightly less realistic of the ideas, because it's pretty complicated, and people would probably be disapointed by the clothes they make because it would be extremely hard to make good ones unless you really knew what you were doing and they had a really fancy creator. Anyway, main islands would get new people to sell things to the pirates, kinda like what happened with peddlers. Not quite sure what they could call them, but that doesn't really matter. Anyway, you could go up to them, and they would have 3 options, store, customize, and creations. If you pick store, it would bring you to a place similiar to the tailor shop, except the clothes would basically just be all one color. There would be one for all of the designs they have in normal stores, except all 1 or 2 colors only. You could buy them normally. If you pick customize, you can then chose clothing or sails. If you pick clothing it will take you to your inventory. From there, you can pick any clothing in your inventory. The creator would be fairly simple, with different parts to edit, color, design, texture/look of texture, etc. There would be a picture of a gold coin on the side with numbers right under it, the numbers would be changing to show you how much gold it would cost. Once you finished creating something, you would press submit. It would show you all the information and on of those are you sure messages. When you submit it, it would go to disney to make sure it isn't something bad, (By bad I mean like a swear or something, not "This design is ugly!") and when you come back online a few days later, you would get a message saying either "Congratulations! Your new -Insert Article of Clothing Here- has been approved and is now in your inventory." It would charge it for the gold THEN instead of before it got submitted in case it doesn't get approved. The other thing it might say would be "Sorry. Your -Insert Article of Clothing Here- hasn't been approved because -Insert Reason Here-. If you chose sail it would basically be the same thing, except instead of choosing from the inventory you would choose from one of your ships, and the message would be different. Plus, the actual creator would be different too. The creations option would probably just be a little space where you could see which things you made. You would also be able to name the clothing yourself, the name would also be checked. I think this would have to be released after trading though, and it would be a good edition to it, even if it is a bit of an unrealistic update.

WAY to complex for the little kids on the game. Disney doesn't like to add new stuff that would change the game as a whole. maybe new caves, but stuff like trading isn't going to be here for a long time!

I appreciate the feedback, I was thinking about sending it to Disney. You can if you want, just feel free to copy and paste it.

And Seaking, which one do you think is over complicated? The first one isn't really any more complicated than our naming and guild naming system, so I assume you mean the second. And of course they would explain all of this even better and more in depth if it came out as an update.

Well disney likes to keep things short and sweet. The system fo the second suggestion is way to complex. How about this:

You should be able to customize your clothes by going up to a merchant and click customize. then you could choose the color and design. Same with sailings, only a different merchant.

ta-da!

You could do that Seaking, but I was thinking of a more unlimited way to customize. That idea is good, and it's better than nothing, it's just that if they did it your way, Disney is the only one who can design things. The idea is to limited in my opinion, and would actually be more work for them.

Honestly, completely designing your clothing would be too much work. However, there aren't enough shades for the clothing, and I really think you should be able to go to a tailor and customize the color of anything you buy based on a color slider. Then if you're savvy enough you can copy down the hex code associated with that color and use it to match another item to what you bought. So, matching corset, coat, and pants, etc.

I also think that for pirate women they should have a dress option that could fit in the coats area. For your fancy balls and such.
