Make it clearer that Adventure mode is PVP

Take it a try. You can avoid pvp easily if you know what to do.

How much clearer do you want it?

I've crewed with several people now who aren't too keen on PvP. It's an integral part of the game everyone has to deal with. There are plenty of friendly people about as well.

The kraken and other events test how well you work together. You can consider PvP to be in the same realm, even if you don't involve yourself in it beyond just defending yourself.

@yodalfa Has a usual solo player i just take a look from time to time to the horizon when i leave the ship. Ships take time to travel between islands, the don't teleport, and sloops are the fastest ships against the wind if you put the sails against it.

A reasonable bit of feedback that can only help inform players better.
Thank you for that and not asking for the game to be changed to fit your desires. I totally respect your tastes in what you do and do not want to play. And, honestly, as much as I enjoy the game as it is, I do hope some day there may be a way for players, such as yourself, to find it more enjoyable.

Fare well! And thanks for the translation as well. It looks, to me, as though that could be worded better, to more accurately describe this game.

With the amount of people that get confused about the PvP within this game, I think making it more clear to new, potential players, is probably a good idea.

@yodalfa said in Make it clearer that Adventure mode is PVP:

@blindnev
This is what we have on the official website in french :
"La liberté d'un paradis pirate vous ouvre les bras ! Trouvez en équipage ou évoluez en solo en explorant le monde à votre rythme. Découvrez les mystères des Fables du flibustier, faites affaire avec les Sociétés et entreprenez des voyages pour devenir une légende de la piraterie."
Which would roughly translate as :
"The freedom of a pirate paradise opens its arms to you! Find a crew or evolve solo by exploring the world at your own pace. Unravel the mysteries of the Buccaneer's Fables, do business with Societies and take trips to become a pirate legend."
Nothing in there says PVP.
You have to go look at the third page hidden behind 3 clicks to find out it's PVP.

@yodalfa

What was not clearing from the store discription:

Sea of Thieves offers the essential pirate experience, from sailing and fighting to exploring and looting – everything you need to live the pirate life and become a legend in your own right. With no set roles, you have complete freedom to approach the world, and other players, however you choose.

Whether you’re voyaging as a group or sailing solo, you’re bound to encounter other crews in this shared-world adventure – but will they be friends or foes, and how will you respond?

I don 't know want you think being a foe in a game means? Additionally there is tons of information available about the game, don't you do any research before buying a product?

You bought a PvEvP game, I don't understand why you are surprised it has PvE and PvP.

@yodalfa read the store description maybe?

It isn't their fault you are not going to do research on a product you are going to pay good money for and then get buyers remorse because it isn't what you thought it was.

The last thing you want to do when you buy a game is do little to none research. If you are going to spend money on something, the best thing would be to read and do research about what it is right? Even tho, you don't need to do much research. The game is called Sea of THIEVES. Not Sea of PVErs. Thieves is equal to Pirates. Pirates are known, mostly from fiction that they steal, sink and kill.

This is completly YOUR fault, because you didn't reasearch properly, so please, don't rant Rare or ask for PVE only servers please, because first of all, you didn't even konw what this game was about.

Mate, reading the translation? That does suggest Adventure is a PvE 'experience'. It's not. You can meet friendly types who'll help you out, but 5/7 of crews are pure dishwater. You got a bit unlucky with that session. Heaven knows, we've all been there!

It takes a while to realise that the 'thieves' bit of the title is relevant, so keep a weather eye on whatever's around you.

It's a fun game, so my advice would be to give another chance.

@ghostpaw no, he said he is gonna ask for a refund

Anyone who simply googles a game, can see it has Trailers and game descriptions. Maybe if possible, translation was misleading or somewhere it was misread. idk

Just reading the OP replies, it is clear this was a bait post to start yet another Pvp vs Pve server only option.
(that and its always the 'Castaways', you know...new players)

@yodalfa

It is the consumer's responsibility to research and understand a product before purchasing. I don't think it's that hard to do a bit of surface-level research to know what kind of stuff goes on in this game.

PvE-only would not work for Sea of Thieves and would ultimately hurt the game. Sorry that doesn't work out for you.

@yodalfa you read about the game:

Where under world events:
That's not the only threat to your voyages. Watch out for Krakens seizing you with mighty tentacles and hungry Megalodons rising to take a bite out of your crew! Perhaps that player ship on the horizon could help you out of a scrape? Or perhaps it's just the next threat you'll have to face...

Seriously man, light research, just reading the descriptions make it crystal clear that players or not by default going to be your friends.

You experience is due to your lack of understanding what you are reading, not enough reading... the information is super clear! It sounds much like a you problem.

@yodalfa Next time, research the game you want to get. It saves wasted time later and money.

I had almost same thing that happened to me. I bought this game called Farming Simulator. So I load in and I was like what the heck is this? I was surrounded by all these empty fields and I was supposed to like fertilize them and grow wheat? Ummm what? I am no farm girl.

Anyways on a serious note maybe should mention SOT is PvPve adventure mode if it does not so any confusion would be squashed. Also consumer responsibility to research and know what they are buying.

Its the player interactions that make this game. PVE only would destroy it. I am nit always looking for PVP, often I avoid it. At no point however would I want it removed. Looking over your shoulder and identifying threats makes the game fun. If I am collecting chickens, trust me I do not want to fight you (especially now that Rare decided to turn them into glass chickens), but I still want you there.
