The molten sands fortress loot are one big joke! Honestly, comparing the difficulty of the fort to the loot you get just makes me sad.
No-one ever completes it anyways because its always too far, the rewards are bad and its very annoying to do.
So why is it in the game?
Rare should at least make it more rewarding if they're not going to remove it.
I actually think its way more challenging than fotd or fof beacuse of the volcanos.
Add an ashen athena in there or something, please.
Molten sands fortress
I wouldn’t be surprised if the fortress becomes a main base for flame heart. Like his flying head
And instead of a fleet. You got to deal with his chatter while you finish the fort (which would be actually worth something)And the end boss? Would be Flame heart himself
Two part. His ship and fleet appear. The. You sink him. Then his body appears (which this whole ordeal was to prevent from happening) you fight him like an ashen lord while the volcano erupts randomly. And doneLike to add. This would all be either a tall tale or much like the Hunger one, you have to do something special with a crew of 8 players or more to start it. It’s the big bad. The whole sot needs everyone to do it.
the geysers make the event very easy/quick and the location makes the event safer from pvp.
events are about strategy to make them worth the time and risk. With efficient strategy they are around where they should be for loot imo
When Ashen Winds first came out the efficiency opportunity was fairly terrible which made the loot terrible. It took forever, no tridents, the skull was worth less and the loot wasn't worth the time/risk.
That was addressed and made it a much better event but the other events aren't really suffering from that.
People can park far back behind the fortress and cannon in to negate volcanoes and grabbing a mermaid back is easier and quicker than trying to rush to the boat
The only problem with that fort is that it often despawns before you can even get to it. It needs a considerably longer timer on it IMO.
Example: if you finish an Ashen Winds event at Mermaids Hideaway, and then Molten Sands activates...there's almost no chance you'll get the loot loaded and sail over to MS in time...unless you're on a Brig and you have perfect wind conditions the whole way...but on a Sloop? Fuhgeddaboudit
Same goes with anything...you almost have to completely drop what you're doing in order to make it there before it despawns unless you're in the wilds...
