@surveyorpete said in Exactly Who Is Arena For?:
I remember your post begging for a ship's wake to provide a speed boost to pursuing ships. Your argument was that it was not fair that your prey was allowed to run away from a fight, leading you on a merry chase for ages across the seas.
You are clearly playing the wrong game! Sea of Thieves is not the battle fest you want it to be. It is a pirate game, and pirates are all about the loot - not mindless kills and sinking other ships. Arena is a competitive mode that suits the Sea of Thieves theme beautifully. As someone else put it, in another thread, it is more like a game of Chess (with Chests).
This is NOT Fortnite with Boats. Please stop arguing for it to be so.
Wrong on all counts. The point with the wake isn't about fairness, it's that sailing in a straight line for an hour is boring. Arena is a battle fest, that's sort of the point, the issue is simply that one wins not by being skilled at combat, but by digging up chests and running. It's not what the PvP crowd wants.
I don't play Fortnight.
