Oh boy, alot of talk about this game yeah? To start out this is just my opinion and what direction i think Safer Seas needs to go. While i know Rare does NOT listen to their player base whatsoever, i am just more so here to just explain why it is important to change the model of SS.
While SoT has been out for some time now, i am sure alot of these kids have had plenty of good laughs greifing and trolling players by corpse ganking and pvping. Dont get me wrong, name of the game right? But it has gotten out of hand for far too long. That being said. Different modes should of been added. Which brings the idea behind Safer Seas right?
This game is phenomenal is it not? A sea to explore? Skeletons to fight? Treasure and plunder!!!! While players are collecting their booty and bounties, Rare is failing to collect theirs!!!! Imagine the revenue they are missing out because they feel they have to hold true to the belief in their IP!!! I am sure i am not the only one that believes there should of been a private server/mode, invite only session as seen on many other titles!!!
Many of my friends and family have removed this game due to the inability to progress with the toxic player base this game has attracted!!! We have real lives with real jobs and families. So when we had the time to sit down and play this game and collect loot and forts, hours lost, rep lost, gold lost because of the mentality this game has encouraged! Is it a pvp focused pirate game, sure is, but when you start losing a playerbase that has time limitations on their gaming life and can no longer progress due to this, you lose out on your sales, bottom line!!! I am confused as a business standpoint because, todays day in age, the future and success of your studio depends on alot on it generating funds to keep the wheels turning!!
I know there is alot of talk from the far left side saying that Safer Seas is a joke, well, those of you who think that SS is going to take away from the players in High Seas, you are the problem that have lost the playerbase that has the money to spend on the skins and cosmetics to bring in the money! Jokes over and Rare has had their fun and games with the Credo they turned away from. Safer Seas is still a joke. I came back when they introduced SS and deleted it same day. Who cares about the gold or reputations earned in Safer Seas. All the people against the Safer Seas is the toxic player base that wont have any one to go around and grieve!!! Its truely sad cause this had so much potential to be a great game!!!
The Fix for all of this simple. Safer Seas needs to allow the ability to earn all the same progression as High Seas but with reduced progression across the board. People crying about rep cap change to 25 and gold increase to 100 %... Who cares? Literally what some of the stuff cost in the game, why care? Cause you think you are going to have less people to grieve and gank? Let the grown folks and casual players play! Lift the limitations on what you can do in SS from HS, if and when or people choose to go to High Seas, then they will. Give the people that work 50-60hours a week a chance to play the game!!!
Change the gold and rep rate to a lower progression, casual players get casual rate, if they want more, then go to HS for the risk/reward factor!!!! Myself and my friends and family included i know would of spent 100's on this game for cool skins, and cosmetics if we had just a invite only session to just play alone!!! I know this will never change and its a shot in the dark but... it truely is sad to see a great game just go to waste!!!! As long as the toxic grievers spew their infectious opinion against Safer Seas, Rare will never see the other side of the swells that would bring in more revenue! Much bigger player base out there with bigger pockets, just gotta allow us to play the game at our pace!!! Thank you for time and hopefully sometime down the road, Rare will lift the locks on progression and changes SS.
25 rep cap and 100% gold rate means nothing!!
Safer Seas needs reduced progression with no caps or locks. I myself am pirate legend and could care less about really any of the gold or rep, but i do care more about at least having the ability to play the game and at least progress to unlocking commendations and achievements!!
