New league suggestion. (Pirate league)

Pirate avenue with Lilly and Weylam Roth


Yeah I know, but introducing them in Act 1 for the League-mechanic would seem a bit off for the rest of the story.
A League clearly needs a new NPC to introduce the mechanic.


We don't hear about Lilly's mother I think? That could work. Earlier would be fairgraves.

Perhaps a few fairgraves encounters through the acts, and just Like Zana taking over in Synthesis, the Roths could take over after act 6?

For starters this league wouldn't need to have a Lore driven npc from the current standard.

The current league Blight, Cassia has NO connection at all. I'm sure that GGG could develop a new, pirate themed npc that could relate or connect with other npcs i.e Fairgraves or Lilly/Weylam Roth and still be in itself new with it's own lore.

Warbands are pretty much a lore goldmine (pretty much half of Betrayal are characters that belonged to a Warband) so it would be very easy for them to create a new NPC that fits into existing lore and connects to the storyline NPCs fairly easily.

Exactly, i'm sure they would plenty of ground to pick ideas off if anything. They could do so much too with exploring more of the world and show casing the new water graphics and going nuts with their creativity with the possible island designs. :)

This sounds like fun, and could defiantly add to the feel of being an exile.

I really enjoy the idea of oceans and deep water in games, we don't even know whats in our own real life ocean let alone an ocean of fiction!

Imagine some of the possible boss fight potential! having to fight off a Kraken sized beast or encounter something similar to H.P. lovecrafts Cthulu! whith a PoE twist?!

This would definitely re invigorate my passion for this game as I hate to admit it has waned over the past few leagues. Although great just seems like there is something missing?

anyway! nice work! I hope they hear you bro.



+1 to this! Really sounds like a ton of fun <3 Plus owning a ship is just... wowww <3

Hey, thanks! My thoughts exactly!! How crazy would it be to just explore another -world- to PoE they can do so much and showcase heaps with this. :)

They could even integrate the defence system of blight onto the ship in a slightly different way so if you were to be attack you could upgrade your defences and so on.

Pirates?! Hell yeah.
~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.
I would like to counter with a ninja league, because ninjas are cooler than pirates.

PIRATES Vs NINJAS - DISCUSS!

Think about this. New league starts and us, exiles are taken onto a ship or pirate ship which we command and sail the open waters. Now in terms of features you could randomly generate islands that we go to and have a timer to discover the lost loot, kill the locals that protect artifacts or some times get a boss island that you have to fight waves of enemies until you face the boss.

With the ships you could upgrade it with items you find on the islands that allow you to sail further out into the open ocean for more rare undiscovered lands, another which could increase your timer for scavenging loot on an island or even increase your quant/rarity.

On that note too you can have random pirates board your ship to steal your artifacts, making you having to defeat them wave by wave until it's done with rewards of -information- of which pirate leader sent them and allowing you to go to their island and kill them for good rewards.

Just a thought. 😊


NOW MIND YOU that chick Pirate mentions wanting to raid some underwater city or something...and it's not in the game as of current.

So...foreshadowing?
