New PvP Game Modes
I would love to see new PvP game modes added to Sea of Thieves. Currently, we only have the Hourglass mode, which is ship vs. ship combat, and while it's fun, it can start to feel repetitive over time. It would be great to have alternative PvP modes that also contribute progression to the Servants of the Flame and Guardians of Fortune factions.
Ideas such as defending or attacking a fort, a last-man-standing mode with multiple ships or players, or even a team deathmatch on an island could bring fresh and exciting experiences to the game. These modes could reward XP for the faction you represent, just like the current PvP system, and I believe they would attract both new players and veterans who may have taken a break from the game.
Most importantly, these features could potentially be added without the need to introduce any new items—just new game modes, similar to how voyages are structured in the current game.
To summarize the PvP modes I’d love to see added:
Fort defense/assault mode
Last man standing (ships or players)
Team deathmatch / free-for-all deathmatch on islands
Capture the Flag or Capture the Treasure (the flag/treasure could be a chest of fortune, box of wondrous secrets or a Chest of Legends, or any other themed loot)
I truly believe these additions would greatly enrich the PvP experience and add more depth to faction progression in Sea of Thieves. Thank you for your continued support of the game!
