I don’t know about anyone else but I feel like 240 wins is to much I’ve been grinding it for days and I’ve gotten 16 wins it’s not the problem of playing it’s the problem of spending 20 or 30 minutes in the lobby waiting just for pc player to double gun and hold your ship the whole games
Lowering legendary sea dog wins to 100
@lt-scu-89 it’s supposed to be a difficult to get and impressive title, not something an average player can get in 2 weeks.
Nope that is far too late to change that and that will hugely devalue the title and will make a lot of pirate quite salty and upset due to the amount of hours they put into it and to be honest we don’t want the arena to be more dead than it is already.
If you want it, you gotta earn the title like everyone else has before you. So grab yourself a crew or crewmate and put every effort you have and try to win those match and hopefully halfway through the commendation you would’ve got good enough to get some easy wins.
@lt-scu-89 16 wins in a few days isnt a bad start, mate. But LSD is supposed to be a grind, hence the name legendary sea dog. Not just average sea dog.
As someone who is not able to play a lot I understand wanting to lower it to 100 wins, but I also understand that it is too late to change; it won't be fair to the people who have completed the grind. I think an easier fix is to allow servers to start earlier without having full ship capacity thus allowing to have less wait time.
Rare has said that they are no longer offering support for arena, so they will never make anymore changes to it anymore. If you'd like faster games, go play sloop arena. Galleon arena will not start if there is only 1 or 2 people on a ship. However sloop arena will start even if there is only 1 person on a ship. You will get much faster queues if you play sloop over galleon.

It could be lowered to 100 like it used to be, but then again matches where 25 minutes and don't you think they changed it for a reason? maybe cuz its painful to lose a match that takes half an hour.
This commendation was never lowered to 100.
It may have been considered at one time, then rejected.
Well...I am working on a proposal as we speak to outlaw the LSD title altogether. Under my plan, anyone caught wearing the LSD title will recieve a fine of 100k gold for the first offense. A small week long account ban for the second offense and a permanent account ban for the third infraction. My proposal also includes offering an alternate title of "Ultimate Sea Dog". The idea came when the crew I was working towards LSD with stopped going for wins because they all got theirs. LFG is not a viable option for me because I owe back dues to the SOT hub. I'm past 100 wins, but the LSD title is now worthless and carries a stinky aura to it. Some semblance of order needs to return to this game.
@joe-krakatoa UMM?? it wasn't ever lowered to 100, if you played long enough when Arena came out, IT STARTED WITH 100. [mod edit]
@yaboiskinypickl here you go

Now say sorry to Joe
@joe-krakatoa I already have a bunch of rare stuff but still use my year one sword and the pirate legend ship set
@yaboiskinypickl You are now trying to convince that "it was 100wins" to some people who are alpha/beta testers, day and year one pirates. What makes you think that after 11 months of owning game even as arena is 2 years old that you know better than them?
Heck even I started playing after arena came out in 2019 and still know as I have spend almost a year (rookie number I know) on forums that, it was 240wins but then devs proposed and idea of lowering it to 100 wins and promised victorious seadog blunderbuss to anyone who had already gotten 240 wins but as it got a ton of backlash it never came to be and it has always stayed as 240 wins even though they decided to throw that blunderbuss in to the game.

@joe-krakatoa UMM?? are u stupid? it wasn't ever lowered to 100, if you played long enough when Arena came out, IT STARTED WITH 100. But you have to leave a comment without doing your research about this game and look whos the idiot now?
Been on this bandwagon a long time, mate. My memory is feeble and my meds are top shelf, but I would've remembered if this commendation was lowered, it wasn't.
I stopped at sixty wins all in open galleon crews.
Acceptance is the first step.I can only assume your meds are better than mine.

@captain-coel yes it was.
LOL, no it NEVER was - it has ALWAYS been 240.
Rare has lowered some achievement/commendation requirements that were ridiculous (banana crates anyone) bit has NEVER raised them. You are completely wrong on this issue as many have told you.
Earn them like the rest of us did. I did it when arena was still 25 mins per match, and even got half of my wins on my second LSD account when it was still longer matches.
Everyone gets camped or loses matches sometimes; It's not supposed to be easy. It's a long term achievement, not something you just bang out in under a month (unless you play with a full crew of killers)
I will agree however that matches taking so long to start in galley arena is a problem (and has been a problem for over a year). Something needs to be done with the matchmaking algorithm like aggressively merging open crews to start games faster.
