New Mode?

So it’s arena just more directed at what the players wanted to do and not what the arena was meant for.

So in the end. Arena :/

@burnbacon no its not "the arena" it would be more of an arena where you are meant to fight PvP with weapons instead of ship

Why not play any of the myriad of FPS games out there if the only draw is to fight each other with firearms?

The entire draw to this game is the unique naval combat experience.

@el-spaniardchi fairdoos havent heard abotut custom servers, when are they set to release

@kommodoreyenser sea of thieves also has a unique weapon combat experience

lol please explain, what sets this game's foot combat apart from others? Is it the projectile hit registration? Because MANY games have that. The weapon selection is also the smallest, mimicking NES/SNES games in terms of amount of weapon choices. I am just generally curious now because weapon combat in this game is borderline RNG with hit reg being what it has this past nearly 3 years now.

If it is a more fluid/fast paced TTK experience I can think of a ton of games that would meet the criteria and do a better job. The same can be said for more realistic and games like Squad/HLL/Tarkov.

@vrxcy you have to understand that rare would be wasting their time making this when they could be working on other things, and if people want pvp so bad why not just put up reapers and go smoke some emissaries? With Arena finally gone I have had more pvp experience on adventure in a long time so I don't believe this idea is a profitable investment

@kommodoreyenser the way that the bullets move is different (which is why hitreg is so prevalent) but other than that I think it's pretty much the same as roblox level combat systems (no offense to rare)

@timedsatyr79799 if that were true pvp should have been dead a long time ago... but it's not...

@timedsatyr79799 you shouldn't be bothered by it. You came across a salty sailor so what? Doesent mean every single server you hop on is gonna be full of runners because (again) if that were the case pvp would be dead a long time ago BUT this game has been running since 2018 and pvp hasn't died so I'm not sure what point your trying to make? Yesterday I stole a fotd from 2 galleons then server hopped, stole another fotd from a sloop and a brig, server hopped again and sank a grade 5 reaper with fotd and fof loot... so idk if your cursed or what but pvp ain't dead my friend...

@timedsatyr79799 well... that's where the fun begins I guess 😂 you don't need to be concerned cause most the time xbox doesent do anything abt it, I would just tell the kid that its called sea of "THIEVES" not sea of friends, and that he literally voted for a pvp faction😂 (gimme an update on what happens cause I wanna see this)

Go play Tarkov. Same projectile detection, realistic ballistics, an entire catalog of weapons that are still growing including a literal thousand attachments and mods. They even added inertial physics to benefit the game play.

I think TDM of any kind outside of naval combat in this game is just laughable. TDM players will never really get into adventure mode because most just plain suck at naval. I have stirred the hornets nest so to speak in Arena and had 3 full TDM crews trying to sink us to stop us from interrupting them by sinking their ships. They couldn’t get up the ladder and weren’t even getting close with their cannons despite having very good sniper hits on us from the fort.

Being great at half the game combat is still being ~meh~ overall. They don’t like the game in its entirety just a very niche portion of it.

Not directed at you but just the “montage” 120 fov TDM community of this game.

@kommodoreyenser I haven't played tarkov actually but I would like to, and I 100 percent agree TDMs are dumb, while a friendly skirmish on deck is fun an entire game mode dedicated to it doesent make much sense, it's tearing out every aspect of the game except for one mechanic that isn't really all that great...

@avacadobeard244 because pvping in adventure is just people running away then reporting you until you eventually get banned

@vrxcy

This is so true. They would rather red sea their loot as opposed to even trying to fight you.

So much for being pirates

We need to stop requestig new PvP modes. We've already been given the "reason" Arena got removed (which I am still certain is a load of rubbish) but regardless, Arena or any other PvP mode for that matter, will probably never be added.

So I suggest the optimists of this world (not me) stop dreaming of a future where these modes exist to save ourselves the disappointment.

#BringBackArena :(

@ottyman8687 you need to understand that from a business standpoint point arena was a flop, rare are creating a game that people really enjoy but they are also trying to make money.... if out of like 30 million players only 20 percent or 30 percent play arena, that isn't good for business. Keep in mind they were constantly bug fixing and doing maintinence on arena, devoting time and effort to a brainchild that was hardly ever used... I'm not saying this one sided, I loved arena but I can't say the decision to cancel it was a bad one...

Yeah a gamemode around what players want to play...

what an awful idea...

@el-spaniardchi still waiting for Rare to implement these custom servers and hope threads like this pressure them to do it instead of Sea Forts.

Its been 2 years... this game in that time went from averaging 50k players on steam to 12-15k... People are getting impatient wanting custom servers for a whole array of reasons not just PVP.
