Will you use the hourglass once you reach level 100?

Upvote if you will CONTINUE to use the hourglass once you get to level 100 and obtain the base curse

Upvote if you will STOP using the hourglass once you get to level 100 and obtain the base curse

As the title says, I want to ask the community if you plan on playing the hourglass mode once you get your desired curses.

Once or ever if I do get my desired curse. No I will be done with it.

We will probably continue after level 100 - just as now it'll be part of our sessions or a few dedicated sessions to it.

Depending on future content the frequency might change, but that hasn't anything to do with the curses (for me at least).

Will get 200 in both then probs chill a bit, likely always use it so don't get rusty as adventure just doesn't compare
For context I'm around 75 in guardians and 147 in servants

I'm level 10 and I'm not using it.
Too much cheating and exploting atm.

I am at level 53 and it has been quite a grind. The way the system currently works it is more rewarding to lose on purpose non stop than to play a 30 minutes hit and run fight. Getting to 100 levels for one faction is extremely difficult for the average sea of thieves player and really unrewarding since you don't get any reward prior to level 100 besides basically one figurehead. I won't even mention the fact that SBMM doesn't even exist since i frequently get matched with players that have the curses. So to answer your question i propably will give up on the mode after level 100 and maybe play on community days here and there in order to get the level 200 rewards. I get that this is a pvp game and i wouldn't want to change that, and i actually believe hg pvp was a really good idea just not that well excecuted and with a couple more fixes it could become really enjoyable.

Upvote here if you already don't play it...

When S8 launched, I started out doing guardians. I got to level 34, but queue times were getting unbearable and were estimated at being shorter with Servants, so I switched.

I hit level 111 in Servants a couple weeks ago to get the Repaired Skull and haven't really had the desire to touch the hourglass since.

I had a blast doing it (mostly solo) and I'm sure I'll do it again at some point, but I kind of got burnt out on it.

My hope is that they do some reworking on the defending side of the coin. That's what the long-term fun for this content would be (for me at least). But, as it stands, defending is basically pointless borderline completely broken.

I’m 255 in Servants and 208 in Guardians. I am nowhere near close to completing the commendations due to them not counting on Same Faction battles. Once I eventually complete the commendations for sinking 500 rival ships for both factions I’ll assess where I’m at towards reaching 1000. But until then I’ve definitely slowed down after hitting 200.
Mainly trying to get the 100 sinks on a Captained Ship and on a Grade V ship right now.

im goin to get lv 160 at athena and maybe lv 130 servants and then just do the commendation Just need the jacket from athena and some skelly variations and then im going to play for funn not trying to win everything maybe even give some wins to ppl but after lv 160 athena im going to pause a bit before starting servans

since ppl know here could i ask this also do u get more allegiance as much as streaks go higher or does the multiplier stop at 4?

After I reach 105 in Guardians to get the Legendary Curse, I assuredly won't grind the mode anymore. I will potentially still use it some depending on wait times if I'm just looking for a quick session over lunch or something, but in general I will focus more on other commendations and maxing out my Athena emissary. I have no desire at all to get the Skeleton Curse or get any rep in Servants. I'm just over 50 in Guardians currently so it will probably take me a bit to get to 105, but that's ok. Hopefully I can get some extra levels on community day and finish things out a bit faster.

The way I play this game is not really "how it's supposed to be played," so that has a big impact on my answer. Though I am still of firm belief this is a sandbox game and you should play it how you want to, as long as it isn't breaking rules. So with that in mind, the way I play it is exactly how it is supposed to be played LOL!

Anyway... The PvP in this game isn't really my thing. I only dislike it because I'm just not really into the whole "naval battle" thing, I like guns and especially love melee weapons(fists only game modes are some of my favorite! And I long for the day I can punch people in SoT). I spend most of my active time in the game on land. I do World Events regularly, but I skip the Fleet events for these reasons. If we take a fleet(or end up in a PvP battle) then I helm and repair, guard ladders or board.

So with this in mind, my answer is mostly no. If I dive again it'll be because I am helping someone, but at this point everyone in my circle also has their curse(s). Gold versions aren't a good enough lure for myself or my circle, but if they added new rewards worth the grind I'd visit it again.

Tl;dr no, unless new cosmetics I desire are added

To answer this. The multiplier stops at 4, every sink after that will net you the same amount when completed.

I don't know if it still holds true, but I would expect it does. People found it was most profitable to turn in after your second sink, so that became the standard. Though you do have a commendation where you need to hit a streak of 4 over and over, so if you can reliably do 4 before turning in, I would focus on that.

I got over 100 in both factions. I still matchmake from time to time but for me adventure is still more fun with all the different ways to mess around.

@abjectarity Thank You Kind Sir

I'll keep dipping into it for as long as it has a reasonable wait time for matches.

I reached level 100 on Guardians of fortune side and have not played a single session for guardians after that, instead i'm playing the reapers side until i reach level 100 but playing on and off vs playing every day until i reached level 100 for guardians
I like the PVP but the problem for me it was to much grind to reach level 100 to be able to get the blessing and access the new area in the legendary tavern. I basically got burnt out as i am not very good at pvp and sometimes it was 5 to 10 loses in a row and it's just not something i want to go through again.
Add to the fact you have to play hourglass so much to reach those goals that it would have been better if it was maybe half of that?
and maybe get cosmetics at level 100 and anything after that just simple cosmetics but not the main goal set at 100 for each side.
So whenever, if i ever reach reapers side level 100, i will probably not play pvp for a long time after that.

So far my suspicions are true, the community is divided equally about the hourglass mode. I believe that this mode was a smart choice but it wasn’t fully developed properly.

Half the community needs incentives to continue this mode. Unfortunately the gold variants of the curse isn’t enough to keep people interested. I truly believe that we will get an update similar to the “Triumphant Sea Dog” Arena remake. This will most likely include new commendations and cosmetics past level 200 maybe even past level 500. There needs to be a completely new hourglass cosmetic set that’s exclusive to the new mode. This needs to be available to both factions.

It would be cool to see skeleton parts that look like the reaper costume. Maybe something with a skeleton skull and hood.
