Another one bites the dust

  • Thank you rare for the chance. Loved your game for a bit but I’m another PVE that hates your PVP principals. 50,45,45. I tried..... I’m out. No man seas are on the way!!!! Good luck to for those who stick with it.

  • Why do people constantly think that we care if they leave the game, no one knows who you are anyway...'

    "Look at me! Look at me!"

  • I for one, am so glad the hundreds of posts like this didn’t persuade me to miss out on this game. So many negative posts like this and for what? Honestly a bad game makes me drop it, I don’t say goodbye if the games not worth my time. I’m sad to hear you didn’t enjoy it, but your showing your cards with a post like this.

  • how And why does one quit with already 50 merchant and a little more skull and chest grinding

    I’m looking forward to running legendary quests. By that time new content and less whining

    People leave. I have a dozen former players who seemed to like the game and stop playing for whatever reason

    Not having fun? Seriously move on and nobody will care either way promise

    While the posts themselves may be annoying to you I can guarantee that in a few months time you will have bigger problems to worry. Like not enough people to play with. I can't wait to see that happen. This game deserves all the worst that's coming for it. Like no man's sky.

  • @monkeyyak
    Yep...No man seas are coming. I really hope Rare gets it!!! All the hard PVP only players only have the PVE to feed on. When PVE players move on then what???? Dead game!!!! Fine, enjoy it! I haven’t heard any PVP gamers legend yet, or ever expect to!!! This game is a frustrating waste of time for my 30 or so gaming club members and I. They left at week 1 and I should of listened. This community is rather toxic. Rare doesn’t seem to care much either.

    P.s. To all those who hate these type of posts:Don’t worry.....upset players like me are moving on to better things and won’t post to this community anymore after we leave!!!

    Better games than this with more to do have had their servers shut down because of a huge loss of players. A game as service is even more at risk because it’s revenue comes from a tiny fraction of the player base to begin with.

  • Doomsayers gonna doomsay

  • @perfecshionist
    To be fair alot shut down from trying to cater to the wrong crowd. Not the true fans

  • "50/45/45" why stop now?

    This guy is grinding hard... I mean I feel like I play too much and then I see people hitting legend and stats like this... I'm currently 42/39/37 and the grind and slog can be real sometimes... I think this guy is just burning out and all of his friends are shoebies.

  • @monkeyyak If this were an mmo that might be the case, but this game has 24 players per server session, and a game of this size will have a few hundred people playing at any given moment even a year from now, even if they change nothing, there will still be a few hundred people online at any given moment, but all they need is....24 and the game is still the intended experience.

    So all you land lubbers giggling at the thought of this game being dead soon are kidding youselves. Even if this game somehow widdles down to a handful of players years from now. I actually would look forward to that, seeing the same people on the seas from time to time, getting an actual reputation in game, that sounds wonderful to me, alas this game will always be too popular for that :( I'll just have to settle for making new friends and fighting new foes every session.

    There are few notions more absurd then a gamer claiming that players who do not like the same thing they like about a game are not the “true fans”.

    Garbage statement based on garbage assumptions you hold because you think you have special insight into how this game should be played.

    If players are abandoning the game it is a problem. And that is how servers get shut down.

    Not because they failed to make the true fans happy. It is usually the fanboys who are logged in whith tears in their eyes when the server shutdown timer reaches “0” and their online world ceases to exist.

  • He ain't stopping hes just salty, he will be there when the new content drops l**o

  • Giving up when you're so close???

  • @surum said in Another one bites the dust:

    50,45,45

    Sounds like you probably just burned yourself out. Getting there already is a big grind. Im sure you will be back to try the update which is fine. Take a break now.

    That was my point when I said "never gonna happen". The player base could be critical and it would still just parse whoever is left into a server together. But let's be real here, that's total hyperbole, there will be thousands of players for years to come.

  • For those who question why I quit after grinding to this point....I say....just wait till you hit 45 in merchants alliance!!! The grind is huge!!!! Hundreds of animals are needed and it only takes 1 troll and 5 slashes to kill all the animals (P**A loves this). Outpost campers have wasted so much of my time it’s sad. A captains chest is worth a captains chest anywhere at anytime. But, a golden chicken is not worth the effort unless it’s at the right place at the right time. Two full days of chicken hording for 2 levels!?! I lost my desire for this game.

  • @perfecshionist
    There is nothing more absurd then ppl trying to make the game better for themselves and not everyone. Comming to an open world pvp game and then complaining about it is absurd. And you are not concidering the fan boys who watched games get changed for the worst, just for a small crowd to be happy and not the main audience. Halo is a prime example of catering to the wrong crowd.
    I dont act like i have a special insight on how the game is supposed to be played. Its so barebones you can see it with your eyes closed.

    Your problem is you're playing this game trying to get through it as soon as possible, Pirate Legend is supposed to be something you attain over the course of months to a year+ etc. You're just trying to grind out everything ASAP and as a result you can't see the forest for the trees.

    Take a break, dial back, get some perspective.

  • l**o only trash people who are not sneaky enough complain

  • @nyadc85 letting the company publically know how bad their game is allowed.

    And? Every possible issue there is with this game has been explained and gone over at length, do you think these s*b story threads spamming up every nook and cranny of the forum is helping? No, they're aware, well aware. None of this is original, it's thread #3243 discussing exactly the same thing as the 3,242 which came before it.

    Trust me, it's not the typical "doomsday" calling that I see on many forums of well established games like World of Warcraft or World of tanks. This is something different. This is like The Old Republic/No Man's Sky sort of doom saying. This game is developed by blind people that don't understand the internet.
    Remember how they advertised forts like this thing where you may want to form groups of ships to take it down and the fort will have more than enough treasure for one ship?
    I can't fathom how they didn't even, for a second, think that if they expect players to be kind to each other when there is an option not to be kind 95% of the players will always chose to be [mod edited]? Just look at how Rare thinks we are all so nice and we will be holding hands while playing songs. Hah. I thought it would be like that too, but Rare made sure there was absolutely 0 reason to ever be social at all. Good job on that front.
    I haven't seen a positive review of this game. I read 1 positive article, but that's it. Everything I've seen so far has been saying this is just garbage with no content. And Rare seems to be so delusional about every aspect of their design that I cannot possibly hope that they will get their [mod edited] together and finally get some content pushed out. I do wish this company learns a very painful lesson by losing this 4 year old project completely.

  • Let the lubbers leave I say, either ya stay pve or ya learn to start fighting back and take your lumps when you get jumped by a better crew. I focused on sailing mostly when I first started and used to keep anchor raised when I stopped at an island to run if I see another ship, now I keep it raised to get into the fight quicker.

    And as has been said, you quit, oh well, plenty more ships in the sea.

    Is that why on three entirely separate occasions me and other crews took down skeleton forts and divided up the rewards and then went our separate ways?

    Your entire assessment is hyperbole, this game is going to continually have thousands of people playing it regardless of what does or does not happen, they enjoy it and will continue to. As another user noted, you only need 24 people to form a complete experience so even if the pool of players bled out to 1,000 users it wouldn't matter, because you wouldn't outwardly notice the difference aside from running into the same people in more instances.

    Rare is addressing all the feedback, they're talking about it, they have started a content roadmap which begins delivering in May, what more do you want? You're like King Exaggeration over here rambling on about worst case scenarios which never actually take place.

    if only there were people who enjoyed both, but alas, I don't think its possible.

  • @wkd1337 I agree. The sink or skim part of this game is do the casual gamers who purchased it and free loaded it off friends need to exist or not? Can we just keep meeting randoms or will the seas be ghostly? I'm hoping some of my casual friends stick with it but sadly i feel this game is subject to fail just because it needs bodies. They need to appeal to the bodies and the bodies are just fair weather. They were gonna be here today and gone tomorrow whether this was a slam dunk or an abomination. There's no meritocracy to video games nowadays where the best games are played by friends and the worst games flop. This game is middling and it should be treated as such. If half the haters even gave this game a true opportunity I feel like they would have become at least LVL 30/30/30. If you aren't that at least your opinion is noob status and not really respectable.

  • @surum So tell me ALL KNOWING and POWERFUL voice of the gaming world and community. How can Rare cater and improve the game to suit your PVE/PVP needs? Because I want to know what handicaps you need to ensure victory in your complaints?

  • @surum
    "Outpost campers"
    l**o.

  • @surum said in Another one bites the dust:

    ...and won’t post to this community anymore after we leave!!!

    If only that were true. I see posts constantly from people that "quit the game" yet come back to the forums to keep c******g on the game. If they've moved on to something better can't they just go whine there instead? I don't go into Fortnight forums and post about how I don't enjoy that game because after trying it out I realized, hey, that's not a game for me. But clearly some people are enjoying it, suppose I should just leave it to them. If only the people that left SoT would have the same mentality.

  • @lenny2k3 said in Another one bites the dust:

    "Outpost campers"
    l**o.

    I've played maybe 80 hours of this game and I have still not once encountered outpost campers, or cheaters for that matter. All of the "issues" and I say that in quotations because they're just not, are so overblown it's hilariously dishonest. I'm aware these things happen but with my hundreds of interactions with other players I've not in a single instance experienced either.

    People are drama queens.

  • @nyadc85
    Indeed.
    I don't even know how people get sunk in this game. I've yet to get sunk, unless I didn't yolo into my enemies to begin with, with no regards to my own ship.

    If you run away, you basically cannot be sunk, so I struggle to understand the amount of complaining by some of these cucks.
