We dont want no progression because of it devaluing the cosmetics. We want there to be none so pveers still play adventure, so adventure stays unpredictable and doesn't become pvp townI don't understand this at all. If you enjoy PvP, wouldn't being on a server with only PvP-minded players be exactly what you want?
Unless, PvP players don't want fair competition. They want to be able to roll up on completely unprepared, inexperienced, ill-equipped crews who are only wanting to enjoy an adventure with friends. Is that what you're suggesting you want?
PvE players are not there to be your content. If you want PvP, then a PvP-only environment is exactly what including a PvE-only option would give you.
This game has no PvE Players - it's a PvPvE game. It may have players who dislike PvP; but that's not the problem of the other players or the game.
Of course there are PvE players. It's a choice a player makes to engage in PvE-content only, and to avoid PvP content. They are not content for PvP-focused players and murder hobos. Let PvP-centric players play with other PvP-centric players; let PvE players play with other PvE players.
The only cogent argument I've seen raised against separating the playstyles is that the PvE game would lack challenge. That can certainly be alleviated with environmental hazards. Coincidentally, after sinking a skeleton fleet, my crew was hit by a kraken, more skeleton ships, and then a couple of players rolled up to sink us while we desperately tried to get away from the kraken.
What did I get for the time and effort investment of sinking the initial skeleton ship? A very happy message in my xbox app saying "thanks so much guys" from the crew which sunk us and took our loot. So fun! /s
Private servers can't get here soon enough. The players like those in my experience shared above deserve each other.
Exactly!! Don't be a victim!
When i first started i was like "Gee!! This is exciting,.oohhh i dug up a castaway! Omg keg-skellies are so scary, and run so fast!".
THAT was the honeymoon phase. Then the game got me hooked, like a foam splashtail.
That's when the game began to introduce a sporadic, but always threatening stream of bad sinks. "Baaahahahaaa! Did you just kill the captain on this skull fort after 2 hours of solo-sloop battle? What's that?
You checked the horizon just a minute ago and there was nothing?? Haha, you can't run, here let me take that from you!!! Blunderbussssss ~ghostly bells toll~
Fast forward to now.. and I'm in the hills of Colorado, wearing a tattered t-shirt that says 'Wolverines'.
I wear a necklace.. a ghastly necklace of shrivelled ears... ears taken from careless pirates, perhaps weak ones. But..
Survival of the fittest out there...they shouldnta left their anchor down, i had ta kill em dont you see? Dontcha see??! They just woulda died anyway see? It was the strawberry icecream, the men had no discipline, see??!! If not by my hand, then by the Holness, so i had to blow them up. Stop lecturing me, they were careless, i can still hear their pleas!! "Hey we're friendly, dont fire" buts i had ta teach em so's theyd learn, the seas no place for the weak or children, we vaccinated the children but there was a small pile of arms, i wear a necklace of shrivelled earsssss!!!!!! GARRRITTTTTTTYYYYYYY!!!!
