If this was dagger tooth I'd be down to destroy it. Otherwise I don't want one less outpost. I already never use dagger tooth.

I only rag on dagger tooth b/c it's meta SoT to say it's the worst outpost. Old Faithful though ... my contempt is real. Bulldoze that whole place.

open up the bay and this outpost becomes 1000% better

Golden Sanda in my mind was just as bad, it just looked nicer. Just as long to sell your loot.

Isn't sanctuary outpost in render distance though?

One less outpost means a greater chance of spawning at Dagger Tooth.

Looking at it this way, this is the only choice lmao

Dude what about ancient spire when you want to sell Athena loot?

What? Spawning at Dagger is awesome - all the barrels are right there. Turning in sucks, sure.

Why is spawning at dagger bad? I know selling there sucks, but spawning?

Joke’s on you, I like spawning at dagger tooth. Less time sailing to the devil’s roar

[удалено]

if we are leaving it then i feel like there should be a new outpost in the Shores of Plenty, its a big region, too big for just one outpost

Literally it’s the easiest choice ever, just side with Merrick and rebuild one of the main selling areas. Or you can destroy it with no purpose whatsoever

How do you side? Is there a place I can choose or is it just rhetorical and rare will decide themselves lol.

Oh god you just described why we are going to need to fight hard for golden sands.

We literally don’t know what the purpose is, I guarantee we’d get something cool there either way

Haha glowy red rowboat go boom.

But you don't know if there's no purpose. You also don't know if the outpost will come back. This is all speculation right now. I'm choosing Reapers, just so we have something different.

Bruh y’all boring ass hell. I want the game to change rather than just be the same the whole way

I'm sure there will be more to it. We'll just have to wait and see

There is no conclusive evidence that indicates we will not receive a new outpost if the trading companies were to win. Just like there is also no conclusive evidence that suggests that nothing will happen if the Reapers were to win. All we know so far is that the community will choose an unspecified outcome for Golden Sands Outpost.

[удалено]

Given that Merrick literally says he wants to rebuild, we will probably get it back

Yeah but considering there's only two weeks between the end of an adventure and the start of the next one, that's not a lot of time to change the whole narrative, create the content itself, and bug fix it. So Im doubtful that it will change in a major way.

How do you vote?

There is also no evidence period that we will get a new outpost, that's made up based on nothing. I'm going to run under the assumption that we will not, because I have no reason to think otherwise. That being the case, I want golden sands rebuilt.

I do find it funny, I’ve looked at many comment sections in support of burning Golden Sands, everyone assumes something cool and Reaper themed will replace it, but so far, the only thing we know is we all permanently lose an outpost. There’s no evidence of anything else.

Use some common sense, do you really think they’re just going to leave the island completely useless?

I just want a outpost removed, there is too much outposts in the game rn, 1 per corner is what we should have. A lot of more interesting situations have happened In shores of plenty because they can’t just run to a outpost 3 tiles away

Tbh I'm just sick of never spawning on that side of the map. I'd be fine with another outpost/spawn location over there even, I'm just sick of starting at dagger tooth or ancient spire, my two least favorite outposts.

I hate the Wilds, ergo I want to improve my chances of not spawning there.

Im pretty indifferent if it comes back or not.

Restore golden sands

I’ve always wanted a completely different map at some point, obviously with the huge entertainment of the story that has a 0% chance of happening, so I’d be down with destroying Golden Sands so long as another outpost is created. Personally before I choose what side I gotta see what Rare is actually going to do w this decision. Destroy it and it’s permanently gone? Destroyed its some reapers thing? I’m curious nonetheless

It’s up to the pirates! Yarr-Harr!

I hope no matter what happens, the outpost is significantly changed and doesn’t just turn into “everything reverts back to normal as if nothing happened and they lived happily ever after” or just turn into a second reaper selling spot

That's kinda why I'm leaning towards destroying it tbh, I want something different

I wanna see a full on reaper v company war, with players able to pick sides. Like 5 reaper hideouts acting like normal outposts so it doesn’t impact gameplay massively. You could even do outpost wars, with players on either sides meeting to fight for the outposts allegiance

What’s going on with golden sands? I just came back to the game after a bit and I’m clueless

With the new season there's going to be an in-game event that'll let players choose to side with one of two factions in game. One is trying to destroy the golden sands outpost for some nefarious purpose (it's currently shrouded in green mist and no NPCs are there) and another is trying to defend and re-build it. We don't yet know whether something will go in it's place if it's destroyed, nor if it'll change in any way if its rebuilt.

So Rare destroys the outpost that they themselves say is "

I don't want to tbh, I'm curious what they'd do with it if it wasn't re-built

For Merrick!

It depends on how you look at it. From a pvp perspective if you catch someone off gaurd on that section of the map it's one less ace for them to run to.

Wait you can actually VOTE?! I have to start playing again.

By siding with one of the factions in game and doing a a new voyage or something for them, I believe

I’m gonna miss that outpost really made vaults easier

Golden sands was the best outpost

Actually I've heard you're gonna get a title and cosmetic exclusive only to siding with The Servant to show dedication to vengeance or some shit

Reaper hopper here, golden sands is one of the closest outposts to the hideout. You can cut off more reapers if golden sands exists.

aCtUaLlY, yOu GEt a rEApEr LAntErN

You all really think about the future. There will come updates where things and the map changes. This time the only change we can vote for is rebuild golden sands or leave it an empty island. If you think "if we leave it blank they could make change in a future update", you can as well think "if we rebuild it, they can change an other island in the future". Just destroying it because "i WaNt ThE mAp To ChAnGe" is plain stupid

Why wouldent we get anything if we choose reapers? We would most likely get an extension of some sort to reapers.

WILL ANYONE THINK OF THE MERCHANTS!

I would rather take my chances for something different.

Am I the only one who wants to find out why they need Golden Sands destroyed? I say burn it just to find out what they're going to do next.

Dude, the villains never win the second act. it's a lot more interesting when the heros win, then at the top of the third act the villains do something even more drastic that puts the heros on the backstep.

What is going on?

Ever since Golden sands have been lost to the reapers and Flameheart, Merrick wants to rebuild the area back to a useable outpost. The reapers caught news of this and want to keep Golden Sands destroyed as is. The players will decide the outcome in the new adventure in a few days! We actually don’t know much but people are speculating a lot.

Apparently this game has a storyline or something

Can someone explain what’s going on? Do we vote? Is this happening right now?

Next adventure in game, people are just getting prepared

"Permanently"

You think they'll just put it back to normal if it's destroyed? I don't think you know Rare very well haha

We recieve change and something new to happen, which is interesting and exciting. The alternative is everything goes back to how it was... which is how its been for 4 years.

Sure, if you want to make things up.

Rare really is unmatched when it comes to single-handedly creating THE most unrewarding game in existence

That's not true, I played over 1000 hours of GTA Online

I played Dead By Daylight for three years, I'd have to argue that's probably worse

Sure, we could go back to normal if you want to be incredibly boring

Having to sail in a straight line for an extra five minutes to sell at Sanctuary instead is also incredibly boring

...wasn't removing it on the first place a shake-up of the then status quo? Fixing it now would shake it up again.

I thought it was relatively obvious. Even though it was not confirmed, I assumed we would either get another outpost if Merrick wins or another Reaper's Hideout if the Reapers win.

It’s pretty close to the current hideout would we need it? It seems like itd just make it easier for reaper runners or multiple reapers to coexist

No what i get is to spit in Athena players fucking face

well on the other hand, I don't want golden sands to have the same ugly grayish filter as the reapers hideout, merrick has been my one true love ever since the hungering deep, and reapers bones players are the worst

Aren't you even slightly curious what'll go in it's place though? Why wouldn't you want to encourage something new? 🤔

Bro we dont even know what they will do with it why would they just do literally nothing with it? I feel like its going to become the spot for the pl type reaper thing and something instead of just getting golden sands back

"Bro we dont even know what they will do with it why would they just do literally nothing with it?"

You are making claims based on nothing.

Some of us like the idea of cornering someone where they cannot sell and have to either fight or red sea their loot.

Nobody likes golden sands anyway its the same size as 2 outposts with half the barrels and triple the journey time

If we leave it destroyed that’s one less outpost to camp for steals

[удалено]

Reapers have the most central turn in point already.

It's already been discussed. Having a 2nd Reaper turn in would do nothing but encourage PvE Reapers.

Hindering? You mean one less place to go buy items access the legend hideout buy voyages customize my ship and spawn. Also screw flame heart he has a micro penis and never shuts the hell up about supplies.

the choice doesn't matter really

I bet either choice will give us a new golden sands. The old one is gone, and the choice we make picks what will replace it. Either a new, changed up outpost, or some form of new reaper outpost.

Where do i even chose

In the Adventure that’s starting in a couple days.

How do we choose?

When the season drops there'll be in-game stuff to do

What is this choice? I haven't seen anything about it except players posting about picking sides.

Either let the Reapers destroy the outpost and keep it in ruin (ord don’t as they please with it) or rebuild it with Merrick and the villagers we freed in the other adventures

Reaper island!

Well, it looked like we would be receiving a special delivery, via row boat, in the release video…

Maybe a skeleton curse????? I dont know???

What about the increased pvpers

I wish they added the gold hoarder as a third option, turn golden sands into actual gold

I’m a die hard commodity trader and golden sands is my favorite outpost. Ik what I’m choosing

Golden sands was my favourite. I was going there and my friend told me “don’t go to golden sands” I asked why and I googled it and almost cried

Pretty good deal

We receive some actual cool change to the game (hopefully). People who go with Merrick are just boring

Reapers benefit from giving people less voyage selling spots, making camping other spots easier for them.

Are we sure the Reapers won't turn it into a Reapers-hideout like outpost if they are successful?

I was solo slooping vaults and lost about 3 hours worth of loot thanks to golden sands forcing me to the next outpost over which happened to spawn a galleon right as I got there that killed me instantly while I was on shore. Hmmmm wonder who I’ll side with

Golden sands - sucks

Wait they’re getting read of reapers outpost

It will become reaper outpost lol

I’m easily supporting the reapers on this one, my boys boutta make me some cash

Glory to the flame!

We recieve a flameheart battle and a new poi on the map

What if it became another reapers hideout since we are fighting between the outpost

I’m guessing it won’t be useless and probably be a new reaper related island

But how do you know that we wont get anything of we destroy GS? The only way to know is to destroy it! They might put something there

How do you know Golden Sands won't be rebuilt differently if we rebuild it? The only way to know is to rebuild it.
