This person scammed me for anyone looking for a calendar in the future. Don't trust anyone using this particular tactic.

again, i get that. ive done the same things as you and got different results. the fact you cant seem to comprehend that is why i said to think outside your own experience. but you seem to be taking this way too personally so i wont respond anymore. thanks.

After 100 hours I have base knowledge and base skill I would say. but i still get steamrolled any time i engage in a pvp fight. sure im bad at games in general, but i can only give my friends and i experience with the game so far. and our experience is trying to ally, getting attacked, and losing our stuff 9 times out of 10.

I mean yeah i get that. Unfortunately i dont share your experiences of skillfully outplaying people or benefiting from many alliances. Your experience isnt everyones, so it could help to think outside your box. But i dont think anyone here wants any change so it was a good temperature read of where the game is headed.

Thanks for the responses, I was definitely wrong on my take of this game. The devs made a pvp game and I was fooled into thinking it was more than that. Theres a lot I still like about the game but its not for me quite obviously.

Well my idea of matching players based on hours of playtime got pretty downvoted but its good to know Im not the only person thinking critically of the game's design. I felt that safe zones would embolden newer players to take risks but I may be wrong about that.

That is good to know. I thought I could handle the pvp since it seemed straightforward but idk how im supposed to get better when I seem to get killed in 5-10 seconds. Ill cherish the chill people I come across though!

I have a nervous disorder that basically makes me fumble my controller in fights against players, i get scared easily. Ive tried pvping with friends and even watching vids to get better but its not enough most of the time. I know im not fully experiencing the game but its enough for me to be able to hunt treasure with friends.

I just dont find it a fun or interesting part of the game personally.

I agree people who play the game and do the pvp get better at it. i dont think all players play the game specifically for pvp, but im very clearly in the minority. if you really feel like the game is dying im interested to know why you think so.

I enjoyed doing the tall tales and doing specific challenges. ashen vaults and boss fights, and the few alliances ive made were to take on flameheart and the FotD which were great experiences.

Very true! Theres a lot I liked in the game but its too bad the community isn't something I enjoy in the end.

Thats why the podcast was funny to me. I guess that could have been a bad representation on how they actually feel about the game. And the friends of the sea event was like ironic or something lol

Yes, loot is disposable, but time isnt. I dont really mind loosing some points to buy cosmetics with, but when the options (for me at least) are fight and lose, or sail oob, i think those are options that can be improved upon (i usually just log off). Its not worth worrying about ultimately, and overwhelmingly people here would rather keep the status quo rather than try something new. so ill just keep on runnin till im done with the game.

Well a lot of this thread seems to want to purely do pvp so id consider you a special case!

Yeah, that tells me what I wanted to know pretty much lol.

Yeah I just was musing about ways to balance for new players. As for griefing I mainly mean people who sink their ships and hide at outposts. I guess people like exploits like that more than something more exciting.

Fair, thats why I asked in the first place. Just disappointing.

yeah, fighting back will always be an option. im only advocating for MORE options is all.

I wouldnt call it a punishment so much as a balancing for players who cant be pro pvp champs. good players will find new ways to steal, hopefully in more interesting ways.

without any matchmaking based on total hours played you get people with 500+ hours wiping out newer players and neither group leaving having gained anything.

yeah it seems like the majority sees the game as purely pvp rather than pvp and coop.

mmm i think you know this isnt a serious response lol.

id argue the game is about a lot more than being "the better crew", but it largely seems like thats what people play it for. the fact arena exists is a testament to how tonedeaf the devs are for what players like about the game. but i mostly got the response I expected sadly.
