Man-O-War Joint World Event

@d3adst1ck had to put it lol its still a great way to work with the community and work together on something

No force field

This would be a WOELD EVENT

But I'm thinking a huge warship, 8 cannons on each side, 5 decks high.

The bottom 3 layers are filled by using Cannonballs, at which point you must board the ship and kill the Ashen lord captain and his army of ocean crawlers.

All the while skeletons are spawning on your ship and the ship is throwing lit mega kegs in the water behind it.

There could be skeleton sniper nests all over the ships masts and they could be shooting wraithballs

No need for the force field, this is a PvEvP game after all.

In another thread, you have already freely admitted that there is no 'win' in Sea of Thieves, which also means there is no 'lose'. So we don't need any magical force field to prevent player interactions, since according to your goodself, you can't 'win' anyway.

A Man-O-War world event could be good fun though. It has been mentioned multiple times before.

Ah yes, a world event without other pirates being able to interfere…

Yet another day of Madfrito making an anti-PvP suggestion.

@gipperseadog He can play however he wants. But a suggestion like this would make other people play the same way as him. And that’s the problem. It’s a PvPvE game and pulling the PvP out of a world event isn’t in line with what the game is about.

@gipperseadog geez people it was a simple idea…you see how rare wants us to work together or no? shrouded deep? hungering event? glitterbeard?

all of these had issues because of pvp.

this was just a simple idea that i had to allow us to ACTUALLY work together like RARE would like us to without worry. hence removing loot out of the equation at all.

no need to attack me. you dont want to work with other people? tell RARE that who keeps designing things that force us to

@madfrito99 said in Man-O-War Joint World Event:

there would be a huge circle surrounding it and once you are in it a force field is put around each human boat to prevent boarding and attacks by other pirates (intentional or not).

Yeah it's crazy enough you've bombarded threads with these strange thoughts

I would have been foolish to think you'd have thought about how people would respond to this thread.

Barriers, to protect everyone from PvP during an event... Why.

I get that Rare wants us to get together to team up against threats, but here's the thing: teaming up ideally shouldn't be something that's necessary in a sandbox game where betrayals are normally very easy to get away with. As much fun as a multi-ship co-op event would seem, the real fun and suspense is the uncertainty that things will go wrong at the last minute, whether it's the PvE annihilating everyone, or the inevitable PvP from a deceitful crew. People are gonna be dirty deceitful pirates and it's up to you how you should react to them and their intentions. Never let your guard down, hold no quarter, all that jazz.

@nex-stargaze here is a crazy thought. once the event is over everybody is free game hello so pvp is still ther just not during the event

it appears apparently some of you like working together with a threat of pvp and chance to lose everything…makes no sense

@madfrito99 Let's be frank, some of us paid for this game knowing that we'd get destroyed before finishing an event, and like battered children, we felt it was okay and part of the environment, cause you know, we can do it too.

It's a rough balance people aren't gonna like, but all things considered, it's balanced.

@gipperseadog picture this. you have 3 boats sll attacking the man o war. everyone sends 1 boarder over. they are all inside killing everything while everyone else is firing everything they got.

then boom its over. man o war sinks. everybody celebrates and you get your cosmetic.

now at this point many people have posted thwy love it when working together works out because it was fun. they made new friends. etc.

now event is over and the threat of pvp is back. you either high tale it out of there or fight.

so please tell me why it would be sooooo bad soooo terrible to have 1 thing…just 1 that doesnt involve pvp?

it builds the community and you can make new friends or new enemies lol

Indeed that sounds epic

then boom its over. man o war sinks. everybody celebrates and you get your cosmetic.

And a good old pile of loot in the sea

now at this point many people have posted thwy love it when working together works out because it was fun. they made new friends. etc.

Yes but not world events. One off adventures is where co-op is ok and HALF THE FUN comes from knowing that you may get betrayed at any moment.

now event is over and the threat of pvp is back. you either high tale it out of there or fight.

Why not just have that for the whole event? I don't want you and your crew to even see the loot. What if you grabbed some and ran? The force field idea is stupid but the Man'o'war isn't.

so please tell me why it would be sooooo bad soooo terrible to have 1 thing…just 1 that doesnt involve pvp?

Because we already HAVE THAT

• Sea Forts
• Shrines
• Voyages
• Adventures

it builds the community and you can make new friends or new enemies lol

WELL I CAN DO THAT ALREADY

The reason co-op events are good us because you are STILL IN THE SANDBOX. You could be betrayed. You could be allied. THATS THE FUN OF IT. Tall Tales, Adventures whatever are not supposed to be a private screening of the stories going on in the Sea, they are quests to go on in the SHARED WORLD SANDBOX

Stop asking for anti-PvP features. They will never happen because the game is PvPvE. Because asking for PvE Only World events is dangerously close to asking for PvE Servers.

THE. END.

@d3adst1ck Was about to upvote this then I saw your post did not even realize he snuck that part in lol

@gipperseadog im ok with the pvp after the event is over…til then lets work together. not sure why thats soooo bad

@Ottyman8687 you missed the part of no loot involved…only cosmetic rewards
