Legendary thief never had a standard thanks to alliance servers

It's never mattered

Touche lol

I became a legendary Thief after a very juicy FotD steal.
Does this mean I am also "a filthy noob"? Where do we cut the line?
Or do we have to cut it at all?

This is exactly what has poisoned games.
You all think you are queens & kings and that you are somewhat special for having something.
When nobody even knows your real face or name or whatever.

Get down to earth right now - its disgusting.
Play to have fun.
Not to compensate!

@stundorn sagte in Fort of Fortune is nice but...:

As long as people hop Servers and cheese the randomness and grind the worldevents they wont be contested long, no netter what you do to them.

Rare could have done a Sandbox, but allows players to play it like a themenpark.
FoF will be orphaned soon.
Like most worldevents are already orphaned mostly.

Also because they are severely repetitive.
I did not played the FoF for one reason and I do not think I will.

Too many waves... to many bosses... too much time investment.
I really am sick and tired of this oviously stretched out effort=fun ratio.
Had an idea to fix that, of course mostly ignored as usual. ;)

@odyssee-mit-tee this is exactly what happened to fortnite. Just add an insane amount of sweats and cringy 10 year olds

Yeah it's already orphaned honestly. The noobs leave after they get sunk by a meteor, and the vets are either not playing SoT or they're PvErs who don't want to deal with tuckers/server hoppers.

@odyssee-mit-tee

I agree with you on it not being fun at all and stretched out.

A quick look at your post though, you were complaining about "loot stealers" in a pirate game. Tuckers are usually bad and easily counterable. Plus it's a valid playstyle. Need a tip? Look for mermaids around the island, make sure to occasionally check tuck spots on your ship, FoF the best places to tuck are in towers so if you see a merm check towers. Blow up the kegs once you open the fort. Bam easy tuck counter.

Though, I can agree that since FoTD and FoF are broadcasted - it makes it too easy for server hoppers. I don't think they should change the skull cloud though... On FoF they should just make it, I don't want to say easier but easier. They should add some new mobs or something and make a unique way of doing the fort - but not make it too time consuming. Why? Because of the fact that it gets attention from everyone. 8/10 times you'll end up PvPing someone, so you shouldn't have to worry about spending 2 hours on a fort and another 2 PvPing. PvP for these big forts should be the main challenge, but the PvE shouldn't be boring either (I already find PvE obnoxiously easy - but like you said they're just putting too many waves making it time consuming.)

FoTD in this regard is fine as is, but yeah no one finds FoF worth doing because of the hassle.

@weststormborn said in Fort of Fortune is nice but...:

@raengo And with this view from people is why I gained 4 FoF for just myself and sometimes one other alliance ship. PvPers dont like waiting the time so they end up getting nothing they want either since they need to work on it themselves to get it done as soon as they want.

Idk I go and tuck everytime the fort spawns on my server. Last time some guy was soloing it, sank to the storm during the final boss wave, and never came back. So my bf and I finished it lol. I would never choose to do it without at least a brig crew though. Too time consuming duoing, plus added time of PvP.

I see too many "pvpers" sink people doing forts then never do the fort themself - actual cringe.

@weststormborn said in Fort of Fortune is nice but...:

@raengo hey fair game is fair game, if you want to know I solo'd two of my FoF. A foolish choice but man was it a load of loot gained for just one man. Time consuming of course but I like doing the new stuff solo.

Surprised you didn't get any server hoppers on you, but ey nice loot gains lol.

@raengo A quick look at your post though, you were complaining about "loot stealers" in a pirate game.

Ah~ I did? Really? =_=
Tbh I do not even wanna scroll back.
This topic can end up in some kind of dusty corner for all I care.
But I expect people took something out of context.

By no means I want the
generic, uncreative PvPers who all think they are Pace/Summit wannabe's
to disappear from the game! They are unironically part of what gives the game replayability.

What I criticize are the many ways Rare is wiping their "cracks" and give them one opportunity after the next to make it ooooooooooooh soooo easy for these people to find new targets.
You do not need me to say it you already know - as other people already mentioned:

• Thanks to serverhopping, the particular worldevent in question is sooner or later singled out and approached.

And because of this, they are a chore for those who hope to make them in peace.
It should not be that those too lazy to do PvE can always find people who actually put work into the game and produce the loot so easily!

I always look for Mermaids, or rowboats.
I know about all these "go pro" tuccspots.
Nobody sneaks up on me at a fort, nobody!
Only once people managed to do so because I was very tired and
had an idiot in my crew who sabotaged me one could say!

But today? None would sneak up on me.

Not that we will ever find out since I will not even approach the FoF.
The sheer thought to be able to do them for around +20 minutes without PvP and have wannabe's approach me and drag the affair out even further, nah thanks man.

" High risk high reward. " - Rare dev

Sorry - still a concentration disorder. =)
What others people can, I cannot do so long anymore.
Yeah sorry for being a cripple. ( Not really, this is not whining. Just fact mentioning. )

But even if I would still be as unaffected as I once was.
I wouldn't want to invest the time and have people think they could do something which not even Pace-level people could pull off without me noticing their presence.

But the very thought to invest the time just to

• find a FoF after several serverhops ( around 2 to 10 minutes )
• fill the ship up, make everything ready ( around 5 to 20 minutes )
• make the godflame'd waves ( 20 more minutes or so )
  and then have some videogame communist sneak up on me and demand wealth redistribution, naaaaaaaaaah man.

This is not adventurer mode currently.
It is communist mode.
Bah, p'ui, yuck.

Such a pity. The events look so cool.
But they are too much designed towards PvPers and too less towards PvEers.
And ultimately I am a PvEer.

The arena is for PvPers.
Adventure mode should if all only reward PvP that aims around open battle, since events should only take about 10 minutes at best - which make people approach them quicker and more often in general.
Since they are most easily collected.

And I recognize "timesink" when I see it.
Have stopped playing WoW because of this shi...p.
In all of WoW's existence I played it for only around 2,5 full years probably.
Since there is just too much timesink in the game.

SoThugs is approaching a similar direction.
Anyone remembering fun?
When people played games and did not worked them?
Good times man, good times.

I wear the raging fire starter title (i think from dark relic times) but you sir should wear this title too cos this post is fireee. Haha, I agree they need to balance the game out better and fix the horrible bugs which still linger.
