Rare rework Siren song skull event!

  • Siren song skull event that originally had a great idea, but atrocious implementation. In season 10 no one needed it because everyone was busy pumping guilds. There was no competition for this skull and everyone closed it without difficulty. In season 11, no one needs it because the accomplishments with it all closed in season 10 because of the lack of competition. I suggest you change its value from 50k gold to 300-400 doubloons. The gold economy in this game is broken, everyone else has billions already. Farming gold makes no sense. Items from past seasons you enter for doubloons. If there is a way to farm doubloons, people will start competing for this event.

  • it gets a bad rap but it's never really been bad design with one exception, commendations that required more digs/opens than turn ins.

    it's really not in bad shape at times like this where people are returning to the game and playing for the first time.

    Pretty much everything picks up at times like this, people are excited for the season/ps5, a bunch of new interest. More are getting done lately and that will likely continue in season 12.

    They could have events that include doing a few and incentives like that but it's not bad.

    People have a lot of different options in this game, that's mainly what it is, people have a lot of different options for activity on servers.

  • @wolfmanbush

    The reason why it requires more digs than turn ins is because it was meant to be a competitive voyage. Most players can compete the voyage without any competition because people already have the commendations completed or don’t care about them

  • For such an easy event, 300-400 Doubloons is just too farmable. Think of the Server alliances who just farm it, splitting the rewards between crews..

    Besides, they need to add something to spend all those doubloons on if they are gonna add such a thing.

    Once PS players arrive, and everyone joins crossplay. We gonna see a a lot of people fighting for it during the first month.

    What it creates is what happened. Pieces and skulls left around.

    It's like HG, it works better when people want to be involved and aren't just doing the bare minimum for comms. It creates unnecessary disappointment in the experience.

    I'm confused. Gold can be used in shops. Doubloons are close to pointless since we don't buy missions anymore.
    There's no reason to punish people who haven't finished it yet.

  • I wouldnt go so high on the doubloon count since that is an insanely broken number. I do think it needs a rework, but just giving a large pile of doubloons is probably not the best way to go about it. Odds are if they dont add new rewards and revamp it, the mode is likely beyond repair sadly.

    Doubloons are used to buy some of the more rare and sought after cosmetics for people who missed them in seasons. As well they can be converted to gold, but the sheer quantity they are proposing would break the economy of even those rare cosmetics since they are supposed to take effort to earn.

    Once you have all of those cosmetics, there really isnt much purpose for doubloons, so making it faster to get them just would be a self destructing system.

    Besides, people who have been around all the seasons, there would not be a lot to buy with these doubloons.

    Perhaps just like the reaper chests that get a new grade each season, do the same for the skull.

  • @lem0n-curry This right here is a fantastic idea.

  • holy moly, doubloons would make me drool over the song of siren skull. i would hunt those skulls CONSTANTLY. even if it would be just 100 doubloons. RARE please change this

    I'll say it again, the gold economy is broken in this game. You have 104 days in the game and you're telling me you still need gold to buy items in the stores?

  • I'd rather the skull was a diveable event that placed six crews in direct competition for the skull.

  • @captain-fob4141 I'm surprised to see you're the first to mention this. It's quite obvious that this is the easiest solution.

  • The skull of siren song should be turned into a diving raid voyage.

    Like hourglass, there should be a diving and a matchmaking feature that allows at least 2 crews to dive for the same voyage. If there is no matches then after a significant time, just have it a solo voyage with the ability to be raided like the hourglass defense mode

    Yes I do. If you have billions, you play the game differently to how I do.

    104 days? Really? LOL Where were you able to look that up?

    Many vets of SoT own tonnes of doubloons. Me too! Given you want to incentivize the Siren Skull mission, I feel making it reward doubloons exclusively is unlikely to increase participation. I wonder if rewarding rarer session-based items, (like Wraith-balls just for an idea) might give crews a bigger reason?

    I would like to see more commendations for it, similar to "Raging Hot Goods" & "Legendary Thief", with preferably some cosmetics attached, given the SoSS is meant to be contested.

  • I dont think the average has billions but its true its just worth for the unlockable cosmetics. we can get also a lot gold when rank up fractions idk i would link this skull to the flameheart hg battle fraction and give 200k i do a lot hg battles but they are just one on one battles what makes them pretty tedious after some battles.i mean they claim its a sandbox game but listen to the sweaters who crying its a pure pvp fraction...

  • @raduggaa I was late starting the siren skull thingy. I still get chased and attacked while I'm trying to do it. Bloody pirates.
