the skelly and phantom spawn rate at smugglers hideouts is KILLING the enjoyment of the new content, i cant get anything done and I'm just tired frankly. it's extremely frustrating and beyond difficult to get anything done. I cant talk to the new NPC's without getting killed or having to keep disengaging, i'm just skipping thru dialog because I dont have enough time between waves of PVE. please please please sort this up soon. I'm kinda just leaving things now because it's just to frustrating to get anything done as a solo/duo sloop.
PLEASE fix the spawn rate of skellys and phantoims at smuggler hideout's
Yea they are so out of touch. Cargo runs are 1 of the least liked activities in the game. Then they decided to just have annoying tedious mob spawns to pad out the game play. Each season that passes I feel more and more they are just trying to push people like me away. But in my case being a 99% PvE player they have been doing that since day1. This game was massively popular at launch so their attitude was "This is the game, if you don't like it then leave, we were more successful than we ever imagined so if a bunch of people quit honestly it's a good thing on our server loads..." Though now they are trying to keep people around because the player base has gotten so small but they are still sticking with the mindset of year 1. If anything these recent updates have been trying to circle back to an old time limited set of voyages they added to the game by making predictable routes, or with reapers marking us on the map in multiple different was to insure other people have as much time as possible to steal. Honestly just streamer slop. Add content that streamers can farm for views. Because viewers on twitch seeing streamer antics is the only thing bringing new people to the game.
I don't see how the annoying spawn rate of enemies helps that though other than delaying us getting the loot back to our ships and delivering the stuff. So basically just more delay tactics to give other plays chances to see us coming and setup ambushes. I only did 1 voyage so far and I'm not impressed. I need rare to stop adding new achievements so I can get my 100% and just stop playing. But every single update breaks my 100% and for what? This season "sell 50,000 of new loot". Zero effort achievements lol. We have the commendation system we don't need to keep moving the achievement goal post as well.

Put up a block so they can’t enter. Keep the spawning.
Make the hideouts ant-npc
I agree and there could be a concealed entrance to show that they are blocked from coming in.
https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/180344/the-smuggler-hideouts-should-get-a-concealed-entranceI think the fact theres already been 3 or 4 threads about this topic including mine means its a genuine issue padding out what are otherwise benign quests. How fitting that this season they got rid of the generic challenges you can do for plunder pass renown because i have literally never been able to do the one where you kill 100 phantoms. Now youre being spammed with phantoms and its gone.
