Marauders arch event.

  • Well I had the weekend to try to get this event done and I honestly should have it done I had to stay up till 1am to do it on friday and the whole server crashed mid fight.
    Now I'm realising I cant finish it because of the in game time frame being the same every day. so when I get off work it's always just right after the 30th in game so finding time is impossible as I work during that time during the day and obv cuz I cant stay up till 1am on work nights when I leave for work at 530am.

    Imo this whole once a week in game month thing isnt gonna work for everyone.

    And I play this game a whole lot. Multiple hrs a day. Just so happens those hrs dont happen to fall into the marauders arch event time frame....... rare you need to address this asap honestly!

  • @vderickv Ahoy matey!

    The good news is Rare have heard this call loud and clear and will be trying to address this for weeks one and two as seen in the post linked below.

    https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/69254/mega-thread-real-world-timings-of-cursed-sails-battles/150

  • This doesnt address this weeks event and how I cant finish this weeks event based on terrible planning.

  • @vderickv Unfortunately not, but hopefully for future events Rare have learnt their lesson regarding fixed schedules which means some players aren't able to take part.

  • I also dont agree with thir bs reasons listed for not fixing it for this weeks event.. obv mistakes on their end planning. They need to extend week 1 into that update. Otherwise imo the event is just completely rushed and I'm being screwed over because of it. If you fix it for week 2 while not letting us finish week 1 with this fix then that would just make me more mad then you not fixing it at all. Again hotfix should have been rolled out day 1 or this whole stupid event should have been pushed back until it was truly ready.

  • Same for me. Today is my last chance to get this done before the event ends, as I'll be in work or asleep for the rest of this first week. It's good that Rare has realized this and is going to make the change for week 2 and 3 but it is unfortunate for those who can't get the commendation for this week.

    I would have had completed it yesterday, but as we were on one of the last waves, the date changed to the 1st and the event despawned. This is something else Rare really should fix. If the date changes mid-battle, I think the battle should continue until it's complete, or until all player ships are sunk or have left the area.

  • Dont get me wrong the event isnt stupid just this portion of it is. And if they dont let me get this commendation il definitely be blaming their trash servers cuz if that server crash didnt happen I'd have it done. I have done the other 2 crews at least twice each I did the smugglers bay one 3 times. I have stayed up to do the marauders arch one once and the server crashed so I'm not doing that again.
    For someone who has 6hrs a day to play I should have no issues getting this done but I do.

    In response to the bolded text. You absolutely could have. You also could have taken a nap and woken up to do. I get up every day at 830ish with daughter while my wife is at work. I then work second shift. That 4 am run for dancing demons hurt the next day, but I did it. I made it happen because I choose to. I'm very happy that Rare is fixing it going forward, but they dont need to make it retroactive.

  • @vderickv The fix is to rotate the areas so extending it wouldn't make any difference.
    Meaning you still have to play during all durations to get all specific crews.
    You could always go to bed after work and wake up before it starts.
    That's what i usually do when i have to play with Americans, with me being 7 hours ahead.

    Sorry I'm not some die hard sot player who risks my day job and metal health for some late night video games.. I'm not asking for it to retroactive. I'm asking for week 1 to be extended a few days for after the fix. More like week 1.5
    Non of this would be necessary if they had more pioneer testing/less rushed events.

    Extending it does make a difference as I could actually be able to finish it with the events locations being mixed up each day. Was this post a joke?

    So by your own admission your not a die hard you dont need it then either. After all it's only 5 doubloons.

    You're missing the whole point obv. No I'm not some die hard player who will sit out front gamestop on day 1 for a game or some dude who will stay up till 3am just to do a weekly event no that is not me.
    However I do play this game at least 3 hrs a day and can play up to 6 hrs max. All of that time not being in the in game time frame of 21st -30th that being said. I find it rares obligation to fix this for all weeks not just the following ones. A rushed event with content already being held back upon release and a half baked fix after week 1... fix it all not 2/3

    Yeah... this has come up with every event and my feeling is always the same. I don’t need every doubloon or title.

    Especially this event since trying to change my work/sleep schedule affects dozens of people. I’ve been content with joining crews, supplying, and trying to sink the ships.

  • @vderickv But they won't me mixed up each day.
    This week The Wilds is during day 21-30.
    Next week Ancient Isles will be during day 21-30.
    And the last week The Shores of Plenty will be during day 21-30.
    Originally The Wilds was supposed to always be during day 21-30, locking out players from getting the limited items.

    Then they are not fixing a darn thing! RARE W*F

  • @vderickv they have already said they are fixing it for the next 2 weeks. This week is staying as it will.

  • @captain-coel said in Marauders arch event.:

    @vderickv they have already said they are fixing it for the next 2 weeks. This week is staying as it will.

    If what agent of shadow said is true. they arn't fixing a thing.

  • @vderickv they are allowing you to earn major commendations, titles, and cosmetics without having to change your schedule. I would call that a fix.

  • So the problem isnt being fixed its being moved to another crews time frame. THIS FIXES NOTHING RARE! Who is in charge of this. they need fired.

  • This is what has been said on the issue....

    We know this doesn't solve all of the feedback around the time locked nature of the campaign, however will maximise the ability for players to engage with different battles and crews and acquire the awesome rewards over the course of the campaign.

    We hear your feedback here on the IRL time-locked nature of this event and will be reviewing this carefully and learning for how we schedule upcoming campaigns & adventures. I'm confident we can improve on this for our future campaigns.

    Thanks for being patient as we assessed our options here, looking forward to see how you all tackle the new crews coming next week!

    As far as I know this is correct for the new times -

    They might not fix everything, but at least it's better than keeping it as it was.

    But to be honest i wouldn't mind if they did.
    It would be nice to have an item that only a few people could get.

    But it does fix things. You can defeat a crew in each region. Even if you only miss one crew each week you will finish short 15 doubloons. Be grateful they are doing something.

    The biggest issue was that the same crews were going to occupy the same time slot for 3 weeks. This would have meant that one may never have been doable for some due to the time. However with it rotating now it will be. The commendations for each area, alliances with the sails, and the unlock on the bonecrusher ship cosmetic are now much easier to obtain.

    Your failure to recognize this is not Rare's fault. It's your fault.

    Due to the cyclical nature of the arguement that is going to continue to take place here and the fact that Rare acknowledged the issue with a megathread and a fix. I'd reccomend this thread be locked @Deckhands. Its honestly just going to get worse in here. I'm done responding.

    yeak okay. somewhat. Im saying if anything its not enough of a fix and this is just moving the problem to a different crew i wont be able to complete next week and the week after.... It cant be considered a fix.. Rotating it so its different every day makes more sense then once a week during a weekly event... or make dif servers have different locations. this "fix" isn't even close to a fix.

    Can lock it for all i care iv said all i can ever say on this...
