so many times when i do the hour glass the aposing factions an alliance an teams up on you or a random pirate start shooting both of you so why not make where if your in a mode only you and the other ship can hurt each other
stop other players from destroying you in pvp mode
I think the hourglass population is becoming so small that people begin to experience specific issues, tied to individual and particular crews.
I never encountered an invite-farmer, nor did I see any alliance since the patch. I bet you're just unlucky to have in your regions those 2 weird crews that still do it.
@captaingames this is just bad luck. They won’t be segregating ships to their own server to fight alone. The joining ship doesn’t get rep from helping the fight, only the ship that caused the fight in the first place.
@captaingames that mode has became some farmer mode, no more, absolutely same same same and same tired grind

Define 'so many times' I suspect this has become a lot less prominent now third parties don't get rep, also believe ships can't even be invaded with others nearby
Not sure about being invaded, but i do know that with diving you can be put close to other ships sometimes (it doesn't happen often in my experience though).
I saw a streamer trying to sail to an outpost and two hourglass ships spawned right in front of that streamer (and both first thought that streamer was their opponent and attacked the wrong ship...)
A couple of days earlier i had a situation where i did a dive and spawned directly south of Sanctuary. After our fight we heared some cannons firing (we didn't notice during the battle itself with our cannons shooting), but when we looked, there was another hourglass fight going on just north of Sanctuary (about halfway between Sanctuary and Smugglers)...
So it seems sometimes the game doesn't check if an area is clear before spawning hourglass ships out of the dive.
@super87ghost I meant the same way if you try to dive you get an message saying can't with rival ship nearby, I suspect none of those 2 can be invaded not sure they vaguely referenced improvements to prevent third partying so I think this is a function, people can still sail over once invasion has occurred. Invader vs invader is diff because neither of them has manufactured an alliance with existing ships on server to get advantage

I don't know. I think it's only when you turn on the hourglass and after that it's just free. But that is just my guess.

True, but if it's invader vs invader and a closeby 3rd party starts helping one of the two ships, it can for the other ship still feel like that 3rd ship was allied with the opponent.
@super87ghost yes, but that's just a risk of it being in normal adventure, which i prefer to being separate servers
@hiradc 1/3 times for me there another ship helping the invader or fighting both of me and the invader
9 out of 14
