2. Let the Pirate Hall defend in battles
Status: Added
Description: @DamianWars suggested to let the cannons sticking out of the Pirate Hall fire on enemies
Notes: @Jun stated that the Pirate Hall might get overpowered by this tweak. So @Gangrene Beard suggested to make it similar to the mines which need to be reloaded after each use. Another option was suggested by @Bear by making them static and unable to rotate

3. Co-op boss strongholds
Status: Proposed
Description: @Black_beard suggested to create difficult strongholds that would require multiple guild members to conquer.

4. A few much-needed changes to the Thief
Status: Proposed
Description: @Kelani suggested that there should be several tweaks be done for the Thief.

5. Abilities
Status: Planned
Description: @Razor suggested to add abilities to the game like "Release The Kraken" .

7. Bomber Kabooooom!! skill
Status: Proposed
Description: @Roserio mentioned the Kabooooom!! skill of the bomber isn't very effective.

8. End game users farming low levels (several threads)
Status: Proposed
Description: It has been mentioned several times that end game users (Pirate Hall level 7-8) farm for resources in the lower levels. There has been many discussions about changing the reward system
Notes: In patch 1.3.3 there has been a tweak in the system where you would be penalized for attacking a lower Pirate Hall level. But still end game users farm in the lower levels. Many suggestions have been made and this is being looked into by Midoki

Status: Proposed

Status: Proposed

Rejected and/or added features

1. Controllable Plunder Cam
Status: Rejected
Description: @Bear suggested to make the "Plunder Cam" controllable using swiping movements
Notes: Bear: "Plunder Cam" should have an auto and manual mode. Auto would perform as normal. Manual would give you the ability to set the viewing angle and zoom. Being able go truly pan the image. @@AngryBeard said this feature would require too much capacity from some (older) phones.
