Saying Goodbye to The Arena

  • @lizalaroo said in Saying Goodbye to The Arena:

    @indubitably1 whether it's today tomorrow or 10th March, there will always be those for whom there is not enough time.

    I agree, it doesn't follow from your statement that everyone who would have achieved 50 by March 10th should be omitted.

    It's concerning that you think it does.

  • (Gamer words) your telling me I missed it by 1 level? I'm at 49 couldn't give us a day or two to grind it? I hope this can be looked at and changed. I am so annoyed. I could have gotten another level at a outpost had I known.

  • I really hope they don’t discontinue the achievements coz then we can’t 100% the game

  • I'm really not a fan of entirely unannounced requirements that have already passed for new cosmetics. The good boy ship was something I saw in the painting in the arena and dreamed of once earning, I didn't realise I was about to miss out on it just because I wasn't yet rank 50. I am rank 45 now.

    I liked the arena, I just wasn't rushing to get it to 50.

  • @jester1027

    Dude you could literally buy Sea dog levels... so all these people complaining about time, yalls arguments aren't valid.

  • @sealion3362 never said it did.

  • To be honest since arena didn't have updates for a while I would say that mostly anybody had understood that arena didn't want to be worked on which is fair because this is a business and you need to make the majority of your users happy so the decision is very understandable u should focus on the stuff that most people wanna see more of but what I do not understand is that why would u need to remove a part of the game that people enjoy playing on their own which is optional to play nobody needs to play it and there where no updates releasing into arena so there is no development going on what so ever and people are still fine with that there are no fixes coming to it like the chest light beam bug has been reported and the development team was made aware of the bug yet there where no fixes to it even to this day so it just occurred to me that u are giving no focus to arena mode anyways and you are acting like that u where and now that u can do that no longer and have decided to shut it down because of no attention being able to be given to it I mean you must see how that contradicts each other I mean all u had to do was run a few servers I say few because of the fact that the argument was based on the player base being too little and most peoples posts I see down bellow its all about cosmetics and a forewarning but for me it is not really about that I genuinely enjoy arena and I know u may be used to seeing more of the ugly and not so sportsmanship like side of it but please do not forget that there is a very sportsman like community as well people that try and work hard to improve and people that have a good time we are not that big but I think we deserve a valid reason

  • Hi,

    Will the commendations and titles tied to the arena be removed from the game? My friends and I have been working through the game to complete all commendations across the game, will these be removed or permanently sit in our reputation screen as incomplete and unlockable?

    Thanks.

  • @lmnx-quantum

    Our Live Operations team are currently investigating our options regarding achievements linked to The Arena. As soon as we have a final plan, we'll update the Key Questions part of the Saying Goodbye to The Arena article

  • I think Rank 30 should have been the cut off for the Good Boy ship. That's quite an investment into Arena and it is not easy to get to.

    It shows a time commitment and dedication, which is what that ship is supposed to reward in the first place.

  • @r4w5hudd3r This hasn't been finalized yet matey! But when it has you will find out more...

  • @justsaiyen93 everyone’s opinions are valid. If there wasn’t a cap on buying a single level every month I would agree with you. But realistically very few people bought every single level.

  • @personalc0ffee Are you by any chance around Level 30 in Sea Dogs? Asking for a friend

    I'm over 30 but below 50 ;)

  • I don’t particularly care for arena. I don’t care if it goes or stays. But the fact that they aren’t letting people grind up to 50 and get the Good Boy cosmetics in the last month is stupid. I’m level 46 and played it in bursts on and off. If they’d have let people know this was happening I’d have played. All this is doing is alienating players a lot more than it would have otherwise. I’m a player who didn’t care if arena went away, but the way this is being handled makes me care quite a bit.

  • @musicmee Do you know if unfinished Sea Dog commendations will still appear in our commendation window in game? My goal is to 100% my commendations, and that would be real annoying if I couldn't get that sweet 100% screenshot because of impossible-to-finish Sea Dogs commendations.

    If you don't know, would be appreciated to pass that on as well. :)

  • @meroviel It would be awesome if there was a way of having an Arena overview once it's removed. Things like how many Wins a player got, how many games played etc. If that was being tracked somehow it would really be amazing to have access to that data.

  • The Midnight Prowl isn't part of the celebration plan, but we've not forgotten about it - it won't be the last that you hear of it....

  • Please, oh please don't give "Triumphant Sea Dog" or "Legendary Sea Dog" titles for free. I've had to earn it on Arena, and it took months. Seeing the direction you're taking, I wouldn't be surprised if you gave it to everyone for just, let's say, killing 1000 skeletons.

  • @penny-pode That is currently being worked on matey... no final word on that yet.
    Some people want them... some do not... It is going to be a tricky one to get right.

    There wasn't always a 1 per month restriction, you could literally buy as many as you wanted.

    This is my point though, they chose to use level to indicate dedication, but the players that actually enjoyed playing arena had no reason to buy their levels.

    They could have used number of matches, wins, etc.

  • Ok in the past I've offered to spend 24 hours gathering as many powder kegs is I can to put all over Sea Dogs Arena to blow that place clean off the map! It would be Glorious!!! This offer still stands let me help you remove this wasted space to make room for you to put something better into this awesome game!!!

  • This has been coming for a long time..

    It's honestly about time tbh. Arena has always felt shoehorned in, and it always felt like an immediate regret once it was added.. since the main focus has always been adventure in the first place

  • @musicmee this is good news, but why you always gotta be so cryptic?

  • @seb-sot guess you’ve not come across much then huh?

  • @justsaiyen93 said in Saying Goodbye to The Arena:

    Dude, you could only buy one level a month. So, your argument is invalid...

  • @tre-oni personally I preferred it back in the day when there were multiple chests to dig, before they changed the format.

  • @ninja-naranja Because... You wouldn't want me to ruin it for you...

    Biggest news day for years and you wanna know about a single ship set.... Hmmmm....

    Hehehehehe.

  • @musicmee you know me, ship sets are my passion. But I’ll settle with the news we have, for now…

  • @r3-wroedy Same! I'm gonna grind it as much as i can before it gets removed.

  • I've never enjoyed PvP in Sea of Thieves, but even I'm a bit sad it's going. I always hoped it would attract people looking for action so I could just fight skeletons in peace.

    It would have been completely different if used as an opportunity for players to host their own games on the seas. It'd be cute if players could choose sea or player properties and host a server.

  • At this point I'm hoping they "surprise" us again by awarding anyone that makes it to 50 by the March 10 deadline.

    I'm really hoping they don't make me regret not just buying my way to 50 like all my friends did to pirate legend and sea dogs.
