Let’s face it, arena was a failure. It was supposed to me this crazy competitive mode with lots of action but instead it’s just a map filled with PvEers and afk people.
Arena has 45 minute wait times and is isn’t the place for competitive PvPers. It feel so much nicer to steal a chest in adventure that to steal a chest in arena.
I have complained a lot. What’s the solution you ask? Restart. Delete arena and recreate a real competitive game mode. This is how it would work.
After waiting in the arena tavern for 3 minutes maximum because everyone would play, you would spawn in your ship with your crew on a map maybe half the size or the arena as we know it today. You would start with the same supplies you start with in arena today except you would also have a rowboat.
There are no chests, no PvEing to be done and lots of competition. 5 other ships would also be in the arena with you.
The game is simple, if you sink you don’t respawn. Last man alive wins.
You don’t need your ship to win however you can’t die then. That’s how arena should me. That’s how arena needs to be.
There can’t be any reward for second place. If you aren't first your as good as last. Rewarding everyone brings in AFKers with rubber bands and people don’t try because they know that no matter what they get some gold and rep.
Thanks for reading, I appreciate it.
