The new journey does not work as intended, on a large number of servers you can make this journey without meeting players at all, well, maxumum 2 ships no more. It is very rare for more than two teams to be afraid of the skull. So I would like this event to become one of the Hourglass modes it would look like this: If you vote for the hourglass, you will have a choice between the game player vs player or "Battle for the Skull of the Siren Song". When choosing this option, you go under the water and appear in the sea dogs tavern (wow sea dogs tavern?) you wait for all the other cruws, Appear on the server - the cut scene with Briggs goes through and then the task goes as planned. Reputation is awarded to the hourglass factions depending on which one you voted for a little more than one fight.
Online is particularly small, so the waiting time can be long, of course it depends on the place of residence / peak online or not. But still, it's much better than the random appearance of a note on the server that you still need to roll, especially cool when the team has already collected all the key items and is already sailing to the last island. It's much better when all cruws start from scratch.
Of course, this update needs to be thought through in detail. But I would leave the past mechanics from the arena such as the amount of supplies, the mechanics of death, the spawn of boats attached to your ship.
