So this is just a minor cosmetic suggestion, but I feel like it would make a big difference to some players. When you first load up your characters, you are given the "welcome screen" where all of your characters are sitting on a dock. I was thinking, instead of just having the same dock every time you log on, it will be the same dock that your main character is in at the moment. For example, if I logged out of my character when I was questing in Marleybone, when I log back on, the character selection will be changed to a Marleybone themed dock.

This would be the same for when you are looking in your backpack. So, if you were in Aquila, (another example) and you were just changing your armor or weapons, the rectangle on the left with your character would be an Aquilian-themed background, instead of the original sand and plants.

Now thinking this through, some players like the classic "skull island" theme, keeping that pirate-y touch no matter where they are in the spiral...so maybe we can have a button in the setting that says "Auto-World Background, On/Off" or something like that, so they can switch between backgrounds.

Just a thought!

So if your pirates are not all questing in the same world, the entire dock would change when you have a different pirate stand up? Aquella dock becomes Cool Ranch or Mooshu?

No, Autumn; it's definitely not too complicated for a fellow complicated thinker's complicated mind to understand! I love your idea and I definitely agree that should be a part of your piratical experience.

For myself, I'm fine with the regular dock. If all my pirates looked the same and wore the same outfits and had identical names, I might like this to see who was where. If they did it, I could see it being tied in to whatever your current life fountain is, but that would be even more complex, with all the life fountains out there. It might be interesting if different docks showed up randomly, like the Boochbeard pictures, or are they not random?

The loading screens seem random, whenever I dual play ( two accounts ) the Boochbeard loading screens are often different.
