Adding custom Arena servers for a select few people would allow for competitive organizations to thrive again. Currently there is LBH, Sea of Vengence and others, but I can still see NAL and SoC returning if rare decides to give custom Arena servers to organizations to allow for competitive seasons to be added back into the game. It would be super easy to do as they already have the Arena files and can just implement it back in. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Custom Arena servers so NAL and other competitve events can thrive
NAL from what I understood when they did their closure announcement in Discord voice chat, asked for updates from RARE regarding private servers for custom options (Spawning ships in certain places with supps, that sort of stuff)
Lack of communication and no actual date to updated custom servers basically meant they pulled the plug/partnership. They didn't want to give unrealistic promises/expectations to players who were constantly asking if changes are coming.
NAL has been rebranded as ''logolife'' completely nothing to do with SoT and probably never coming back, and I don't blame them.
SoC might be making a comeback IF private servers get customizable options. However this is not confirmed.I agree, will we one day have customizable option for private servers? I'm not sure. Leaning in the doubt area. Been close to a year since NAL has closed and radio silent on any updates regarding that server topic.
- Comp right now HEAVILY relies on a single tall tale (Lords of the Sea final chapter) which sinks 1hour + to set up multiple galleons to gather thousands of cannonballs and set up for matches.
Which over time burns out competitive players into quitting.
Imagine sinking an hour + of ''playtime'' preparing just for 2 sets of game on average (4 games which consists of 15 minute each) Assembling the whole discord communities of players together at a set time, waiting for a private server code, dropping tall tale, supping up, then going to the play area to set up for games.... Requires coordination, everyone to be on the same page, and actually be active during that time.
Longer format games such as LBH which is basically 5 ship gally fights is more forgivable when it comes to setup and game time worth, only problem is that sinking early means you have to wait 30+ mins for the next game to be set up. Whereas in Arena you sink and get back into the action.
As far as im concerned, the ''competitive scene'' of sea of thieves is heavily carried by the community (Players) and not RARE, outside of asking partners for servers, but that is their own initiative in doing so.
Not sure what RARE stance is on the competitive side of the game, but looks like there not fond at all for whatever reason, probs since it takes up 0.01% of the player base, so not point supporting that community despite having the most loyal player base in there.
The ones that main the game for years. Sad.Customizable options for resources on ships on private servers would go a long way and actually make that community very happy and thrive again.
