Arena wins, “Legendary Sea Dog”

@needsmokes it’s still legendary it requires 2500 minutes
of playing arena and winning

@tb-z3us if it's going to take you 2500 hours to get 240 wins, your doing something wrong.

How do you guys do math?
6,000 hours is 15,000 matches without lobby time. I'd say 12,000 matches with waiting time.

My estimate is the following is 256 hours to get that title. I'm not a good player and I play open crew. I win 50% of my matches according to my numbers. So I counted 480 matches to do, 32 minutes including waiting time. A good player with a good crewmate can get that title in 144 hours of arena, I guesstimate.
A lot but reasonnable compared to 6,000 hours or even 2,500 hours.

Legend sea dog here. Finished it of when arena first came around. Since December update done with the new triumphant stuff.

I work 40+ hours a week and play in a band (why u mention this, i cannot play every weekend)

Still i made it. The 240 is not too much. As mentioned earlier its legendary not arena master or so.

@NaviLlicious
Skelly ships 500 sounds too much. Its just 100 waves of fleet. Doable (done it, solo)
Fort commendations make u do forts 100 times aswell. I think the 500 is balanced according to fort.

@tb-z3us Lol mate your math is way off. In sloop arena you can get 2 games in an hour. Let's say with maximum efficiency aka win every game it's going to take you 120h, but you can't win em all right? So let's say you win only 50% of the games that's 240h. It's a lot of hours I'm not going to deny that but no where near your numbers.

And no imo it shouldn't change or us who already made it need considerable compensation equally as valuable..(which is going to make you want to get there anyway) and not the ugly blundy they tried to give us when they were almost about to change it last time.

@icymethodman there’s way less of you guys who have the 240 wins because nobody wants to grind that much but they should change it it for the bigger amount of people who don’t have that much time to be in the arena constantly, but yes I agree they should give you some way better rewards than that blunder

@navillicious That's why they send emergent ships to you! ;-)

Personally I think it's good to have it at 240 wins. The only thing I still find weird is that you only had to sell/deliver 50 fish as a pirate legend. This week I did the 500 cargo turn in, that took me about 4 days solo. Now I am halfway for turning in 500 chests, the only things that would take me a lot of time is deliver 500 animals and sinking 500 skeleton ships. But even for those I accept the amount and I am sure that eventually I will get them.

I agree completely on this I am pl Athena 10 even that was a grind but not as bad as the 240 wins if they did change this to 100 I would most definitely grind for. 240 is just to much

I am happily taking my time to get to 240, currently at 101. I usually just do arena 2 days a month. I also do not want them to change it.

@tb-z3us you know what? Youre absolutely right. The number for wins should be easier to reach so that everyone can be special. After all it is a casual game built with kids in mind right? But im thinking 100 wins will be too hard. We need to tone it down a bit more.

• Captain of Silvered Waters should be given for logging into arena instead of placing top 3 100 times.

• Legendary Sea Dog should be unlocked after completing your first match, after all we are all legends right?

• Pirate Legend should be given for setting sail for the first time. After all, we made it to the Sea of Thieves? Sounds pretty legendary to me.

• Athena 10 should be givin after entering the Pirate Legend Lair for the first time. Cause once the Pirate Lord sees you he should grovel at your feet because of how amazing you are.

These are just a few ideas I hope Rare takes into consideration. This game is too hard for us solo players and should be more family friendly.

(If you think anything in this comment is serious you need to get an iq test done.)

I do wonder of all these commenters. Who said 240 is to much. Do u play arena? Do u win from time to time?

Or is the 240 wins to much commented by the just-hand-me-my-title-pirates?

It feels like: I like these shoes alot but not 150 dollar alot. What about u sell these shoes for 50 dollar to me?

Yes I do play arena, as of right now not so much as there are many new/nice things to do in adventure. I am currently sitting at about 50 first place wins as a Pirate legend, this is because most of my friends already have the 240 wins and don't play arena that often, and I don't go for open crew myself to play in arena. And when I team up with my crew I get sad most of the time due to long matchmaking time (sometimes mm takes longer then a match itself). Also I don't look at how many wins I still need, I just play and enjoy arena.

In the end you will eventually get there, which is the same for all other 'get this 500 times as PL' commendations.

@pirate-hanzo said in Arena wins, “Legendary Sea Dog”:

Arena is just set up poorly in my opinion. Needs more variety and concrete modes and less of a clusterfvck.

I do agree with you on this. I would like to see special event for example a 1 weekend or 1 week in a month that you don't dig up chests but that you have to gather animals or cargo and cash them in.
Or something like you have to sink a fleet of ai ships, the team who gets it first wins the match.
Or the chests are already dug up at the start and you get a map on what island they are and all ships have to go for them and there are a max number of chests (5 or 10), so you really have to fight for it to get a win.

Oh and perhaps brigantine arena?

@weakdexx yes I do have arena wins I play it time to time but even if your constantly winning it gets boring it’ll never be as good as adventure

@tb-z3us

U got my vote! I like the fact u can pop in and play for a set amount of time in arena.
But adventure is where it happens :)

@mr-dragon-raaar

U know Arena is outsourced? Which means no resources or efforts on rare's account to be wasted?
If u remove arena u just remove the 3th party who is responsible for the arena.
Which means with arena gone there be not more effort and resources coming to adventure?

@mr-dragon-raaar there are people who love arena and adventure both like me and their are people like my friend who bought the game for arena and finds adventure pretty boring so keep that in mind. I will admit though adventure is far far more popular than arena overall.
