Hi y’all!
First of all, this season feels great. Had an amazing time in my session last night playing the updated forts and bagging me one new chest!
One thing I noticed though is that my renown level was flying up. I went from 1-66(?) in a single session. There may be some boost on that Rare didn’t mean to happen but the renown gain is crazy!
Anyone else feel that or is it just me? XD
@wolfmanbush we did a few FOTD and sold to the sovereigns and we finished our passes in 6 hours! We cooked some food, fished a little, sold to sea post. It’s insane how fast we did it!
Last season doing 1 skeleton fort and one FoF got me to 44. It was really fast last season as well, but this felt a little faster.
Personally I’d like it to be harder to max, but then I meet people who still didn’t finish their pass from their personal style of play and the season ended without them making it to 100. So obviously it doesn’t need to actually be harder. Maybe just make some of the things those people do give more renown and some of the things I do give less 🤣
@abjectarity I think the best approach from the devs would be to give small rewards past 100. So your level would remain 100, but every '10 levels' you would get some gold/doubloons
I've completed the Season in 6 hours by doing FOFs, Ghost fleets and random encounters.
I think Rare should increase the renown needed to reach lvl 100 because 5/6 hours of gameplay is really low for 3/4 months of Season.
Maybe they could increase the time needed to reach lvl 100 to like 15/20 hours, which is not too much for the time someone can spend on this game on a whole Season.
@tesiccl the renown gain this season is actually insane…. I played Less then 10 hours and got to 100 without issue.
I dont know what they did this season but this season will be useless this way.
The QoL changes are awesome don’t get me wrong, but since the season itself holds little to no new content the seasonal rewards would be one way to keep player interested.
That is out the window as well this season (not to mention the community day weekend which will boost it even more)
Personally I like how fast the renown is earned. Seriously, it means a player can go at their own pace and enjoy the game for what they love to do, instead of feeling they are doing a task or a chore.
I also can see that some players feel they dom't have anything else to do or their goal is gone when they reach max level so I agree with the idea of giving something after level 100. Maybe bñue doubloons, that would be fantastic since we are now gwtting doubloon sinks and for some people it would be amazing to get the previous cosmetic sets. 5 doubloons per additional level past 100 would be nice.
I mean, I already am playing another game (at the same time, just switching every now and then) that does exactly this, when you finish their battle pass you earn currency per additional level. In that game you don't miss any reward if you stop playing after reaching max level, but if you keep playing you get some extra currency for other stuff. Sea of Thieves could do something similar.
