If the pass was more difficult,
I'll stay more longer in the game.
And i want to stay longer in the game !
Please..
WHY THE PLUNDERPASS IS TOO EASY ?
Why not play the game because you enjoy it? If you're only playing it to complete the pass, you are actually getting more time to play some other game you enjoy instead by completing the pass quickly.
Asking to increase grinding time to make you stay in a game that you obviously don't enjoy without having a carrot dangled in front of you is the weirdest request.
@noktisenma of all the things they added this update you complain about the plunder pass ?!
You realise that both new factions go at least up to 1000 in reputation.
There is a ton of commendations in there, there is a ton of new milestones….
But yeah olunderpass 😂
There are a lot of people who have very little time to play. I admit I figured it would be like other games where it would require me to play 80 hours a week in order to progress. So when they first announced seasons I was like cool they stink in every other game so they will stink here too. Its easy because they want it to be something everyone can accomplish. Unlike those other games you can pay for the season pass then miss the rewards because not only do you have to pay for the pass you have to grind a ton to get everything.
I admit most the time I just accidentally hit renown 100 with no effort. I love it that way though. There are other things you can work on. I do totally get hitting renown 100 removes some incentive to play. Sadly they are only adding 1 new set of ledger rewards per season. I think maybe if in the very least they added ledger rewards monthly that would give us something to strive for. I typically get all my ledgers and renown done in 1 month so now outside of adventures I really have no reason to play. Like I needed 2 achievements before this update to hit 100%. LoTV voyages and gold hoarder voyages. I couldn't bring myself to grind those though due to no ledger rewards.. Why grind that stuff out now when I need to do it later to earn rewards? Might as well be efficient with my time.
Keep in mind the season pass didn't exist for years. So the only thing that kept us playing was 100% commendations and achievements. Those are all still there and I imagine you haven't completed them all because most people haven't.
@d3adst1ck irrelevant.
You may be new to the game, but this isn't the first time this has been claimed.
The fact that the pass is too easy and quickly completed, even without doing anything .
And I repeat , i will stay longer on the game with a more difficult pass. Love is not enough.@noktisenma said in WHY THE PLUNDERPASS IS TOO EASY ?:

I like the way the pass works. There is some bonus for doing things, and if you don't have a lot of time to devote to playing you can still manage to complete it over the entire season and not feel pressured to commit a certain number of hours per week.
If you want to play, you play. If you don't, you don't have to in order to finish out a time limited pass. It's a good system.
@noktisenma
go complete your commendations instead of trying to increase plunderpass for people who doesnt have time.@pithyrumble said in WHY THE PLUNDERPASS IS TOO EASY ?:
It seems faster this time.
It does, yes. I've played two laidback sessions so far (2 x 4h, or so), i'm already lvl 53 renown. Maybe Rare has tweaked the amount of renown won for each action, or maybe they forgot an xp boost multiplier somewhere...
Anyway, the issue is not necessarily the PP being too easy, it's more the fact that once you're finished with it, renown keeps piling up for deeds and trials accomplished, but just becomes pointless, not getting the player anything as far as rewards go.
Just make lvl 100 a soft cap, and reward the player 1000 gold every five renown level gained afterwards, or something along those lines. Or doubloons : I've mentioned it elsewhere, but i'd love for Rare to get a few old/forgotten cosmetics (Twitch drops, past PP, promotional stuff like that) in a time limited rotation in the Black Market, each month, for a copious amount of doubloons ; pair that with a PP rewarding doubloons above lvl 100, and you'd give doubloons a reason to exist, and players a reason to try to work on those seasonal trials and deeds past lvl 100.
The pass is extremely easy this update, but you shouldnt play to just level the pass up then leave. If all you care about is the pass and not the actual gameplay of a game, then you should genuinely reevaluate why you are playing.
The plunder pass should be something you just happen to unlock as you play the game, not the whole reason why you play the game.
@d3adst1ck The Sea Of Thieves pass is done in 2 hours ..
A season lasts 4 months !
Wake up a little ...
You don't have time to play in 4 months ?!
I don't want it to be very difficult, but less easy.
It's not complicated to understand.@goldsmen @D3ADST1CK Are you guys seeing people playing this game for commendations/achievements the same? Have you ever done it and had a carrot in front of you?
I'm not going to pretend that I am scientist or a doctor, because I am certainly not, but these things give incentive and dopamine - ''congratulations, you are awesome''
And if you have 1000gold for every 1-5-10 levels after that, I am not sure why be so against the OPs suggestion? It's not coming out of developers pockets, this is a virtual currency and the amounts you need to unlock anything new is ridiculously low.
I certainly agree with OPs suggestion. Especially since everyone is complaining about having 5 instead of 6 ships in the server. So how do you see having 3 or 4 better - I do not understand. As you will clearly have that 1 extra player occasionally who will play just for that small dopamine delivered by commendations, achievements, renown levels, awards and gold.
With your mindset, the game was perfect when it came out, why do you need Athenas chests when seafarers are perfectly fine ^^
Just my opinion. peace out.

It's not complicated to understand.Plunder Pass takes roughly 30-40 hours to complete, not 2.
It's not complicated to understand that this is a beneficial system for everyone. Those who want to play get something, those who don't enjoy playing as much have more time for other things.

Right, there are already commendations and achievements. Why does the season renown also need to be a huge grind? It doesn't. You can get your dopamine from doing any number of the other grindy things that already exist.

That's not OPs suggestion. He wants to make the existing 0-100 track take much longer for reasons that are selfishly centered around his desire to spend time chasing a carrot in a game he doesn't enjoy playing without it, as he stated in one of his earlier posts.
With your mindset, the game was perfect when it came out, why do you need Athenas chests when seafarers are perfectly fine ^^
False equivalence. There are lots of things that could improve in the game, this is not one of them.
@d3adst1ck Just regarding the OP's suggestion, my apologies I am at work and get distracted by work sometimes :D..What I meant is supporting the suggestion to give 1000 Gold for each few levels once you reach 100. At least I understood this was one of his suggestions and perhaps I phrased my response wrong. If he did not suggest that, then I certainly am :D
While, I personally feel that the levels are achieved too quick, but if it's this way then I believe it's for a good reason. Not everyone has the time to play, but they should be able to enjoy it as much as we do, especially if they buy the plunder pass and not letting it go to waste. So I am not arguing to prolong the grind 1-100. (I am an advocate to increase faction levels tho)
Besides we are getting those 1000 bonus gold for as simple things as repairing a ship. So most certainly giving that extra bonus would not have any negative effects. With all these trinkets, portraits and new cosmetics I can't make enough gold. So every bit helps.
@noktisenma LOL the pass is a participation reward. If you need a pass to be active to play a game, why are you playing it? Play a game to enjoy it and the pass will complete on its own.
