Submersible Information Thread

New patch out May 23rd, reminder to have your subs ready for it. My current plan is:

C'U'Sy'Sy' build, all sent out next Friday afternoon at the latest, maximizing number of 6.30 zones for exp and unlocking new zones

2 Subs:

1. The Crystal Font
2. Bloodbreak
3. Sirensong Sea 5

2 Subs:

1. The Frozen Spring
2. Lugat's Landing
3. Tidewind Isle
4. Drifter's Decay

Preliminary 6.4 Patch Notes

New nautical maps have been added.
New areas have been added.
New items have been added.
Maximum submersible rank has been increased from 105 to 110.
Maximum number of items that can be displayed in the voyage log window has been increased from 10 to 30.
When non-stackable items have been acquired, the total number of items obtained will now be displayed.

You can currently go to a maximum of 5 zones on a voyage and get up to 2 different items from each zone, so why would we need to see more than 10 items in the voyage log window?

Why 30?

• Having a nice interface to retrieve/send all subs at once would be nice, but that would be 40 slots instead of 30
• 15 zone voyages are probably close to possible for the Deep Sea zones, max range build is currently 305
• Huge per-zone hauls, still 5 zones each but you can get up to 6 items from each

I agree in general that change will be coming but for now it looks more like future proofing than something needed for for 6.4 or even 6.5.

Personally, I'm hoping for a new vessel type in 7.0. The bonus system is starting to feel weak as a way to upgrade sub capability.

Edit with afterthought: wonder if it might be related to the teased personal voyage system. They may intend to use the same general UI and it would make more sense to have one sub per player making longer voyages with more stops.

We're starting out a new zone in 6.4, and the zones after the first one have been spread across 3 patches each, skipping 5.0 and 6.0, so the new zone will presumably be opened up in 6.4, 6.5, and 7.1

I wouldn't expect a new type of craft until at least 7.2, and I doubt they'll launch the new individual craft until at least 7.1

Oh well, we shall see what we see
