Servers Privates (Only friends) / Servidores privado solo con amigos

@xultanis-dragon You do realize that if people are getting sunk and losing their loot anyway, there isn't really any difference?

The main difference is that they don't want to play the game. They want the rep and everything that comes with it. They believe private servers are going to be PvE servers but its not. There is no PvE progression in the game.

I don't think you even get to do Tall Tales.

This way they can just enjoy the game without the toxic players looking to take their day out on you.

Sinking players isn't being toxic. Spawn camping isn't really being toxic either, its a legitimate strat to either keeping players from repairing or for taking supplies or loot.

Basic trash talking isn't toxic either and the funny thing is that most toxicity in this game I want to say is actually from the players who get attacked. A lot of the time the players I attack get on the mics and say "youre a loser that lives in your moms basement" "you got nothing better to do? Is this the only way you can feel good about yourself expletive expletive" , I like how others like to describe their sexual conquests with random family members of mine.

I can't have sympathy for those that talk about being victims when they are usually the ones throwing the salty behavior around.

I think it’s a problem worth trying to solve. Reworking the PvE and adding more for the PvE players would be an interesting puzzle to solve to make it risky, but still enjoyable.

I don’t care for the rhetoric that people should stop suggesting a PvE mode. We are in a feedback and suggestion thread, so it’s not a waste to voice a very popular suggestion and try to have a good discussion about it. Rare might take these suggestions to heart someday.

The common counter I see is that people would grind their rep and then never play again, but that may not be completely true. I know many players that look forward to new events, grind commendations, and overall enjoy playing the game without running into other players. Those players would still be playing the game if they were in a PvE mode. With newer events the PvE players would keep playing and hopefully support the developers by buying cosmetics and emotes. The flip side is those players getting sunk each time they play and just giving up on the game altogether. That’s not great in the long run. If players dip in and out or quit, your left with less of an overall community.

I still think the option for a PvE only mode would be a fun outlet for those less accustomed to all the in’s and out’s of Sea of Thieves and those that want a relaxing session. More options for players to keep them playing is always a better option.

@kreisrambo Sure, you could do PvE in the coming private servers🌚

@ScurvyWoof

I feel like we both know that’s not a sufficient answer. Those private servers are for events and have no progression. We are talking about a PvE Adventure Mode with progression and world events.

@clintzcarta exactly, mode adventure and other mode adventure only PVE

@clintzcarta exactly

@mferr11

I just don’t believe that’s the end of the story. The game is ever evolving and changing.

The argument that I should shut up and leave it alone is tiresome. If you guys don’t like the idea, that’s fine, but I don’t believe we should stop asking for it. We are in a suggestion section of the forums, after all, so it seems fair to suggest this.

I feel like we both know that the custom servers is not a sufficient answer. Those private servers are for events and have no progression. We are talking about a PvE Adventure Mode with progression and world events.

@mferr11

It’s about choice. Some days I want to fight other players over a FOTD, some days I don’t want to see another person while I run some merchant voyages. While I agree the developers have a novel idea of blending these two modes together, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that should be the only option. Ultimately, the answer to your question about what are PvP players going to do when all the PvE players are gone is largely not my problem to solve. Maybe PvP players should engage in the content and then fight over it instead on relying on a sole PvE player to be their content. That’s the riskier idea because at some point if PvP players ruin enough PvE players experiences enough times they will leave the game regardless and then you are back to your original question about what are PvP players supposed to do... The idea is to retain your players and by denying choice the developers are taking a gamble that their game will sustain on the numbers it has while shedding more everyday.

If you grant that choice and manage those PvE players with rebalancing and more event content then they are more likely to stay playing and support the developers by buying cosmetics and more content.

Again, I argue the idea is not bad or “solved” in some way. It’s a suggestion that I think has merit to be discussed and if Rare comes across these threads wondering what the community wants from their game, I’d like them to see this request along with all the other threads requesting a separate server for those that don’t want to engage with other players while also progressing and enjoying the content they make because in the end it’s a fantastic game and I think we are all here because we love this game and want to enjoy it however we can.

@d3adst1ck your wrong. when you are a solo player and a group of buddies sink your ship or people waiting to just kill than whats the piont of this game.

@d3adst1ck Do you play solo?

@d3adst1ck well im new and every time i try to do a quest or bring one back a group of so called pirates kill me. i cant get rep when i lose everything.

@d3adst1ck

I agree with your point. I am looking it at it very binary, but your right. It is more fluid at times.

I still hope for a choice to not engage with PvP in the future. It’s never the reason I come to the game. I definitely respect those that want to engage in one or all aspects. Like I said, I just want to put my name down as someone who would love the choice.

@kommodoreyenser

From what I’ve read, the custom servers are not the wanted solution. They are designed for community events and lack progression. If I could rent a custom server and progress through the PvE content with my friends then I would gladly spend the money.

@kommodoreyenser

I understand some of these like getting rid of Alliances and Reaper (stealing) commendations, if I wanted those I would join the PvEvP server and earn them. Reducing rep/gold and removing PvE content like forts and world events I would say doesn’t make sense. I don’t just want to do voyages, but also the tall tales, forts and world events. That is all PvE content, so removing that would be removing the content I am talking about playing in the first place. Reducing the rep/gold also doesn’t make sense because it’s just cosmetic progression. Whether I earned it in PvE server or a PvPvE server doesn’t make a difference to anybody, I still did the activities to earn the rep/gold.

@kommodoreyenser

I have been playing since the beginning and I still believe that the rep/gold don’t really matter. Reducing the gain because there is less stress just sounds like we need to rebalance the stress on those PvE players to maintain the normal gain. Since it’s cosmetic rep no one really cares what level I am or what amount of gold I have, so if I earn it in a PvE server or a PvPvE server bothers no one really. The world events are PvE in that they contain lore and are events pertaining to a story they are telling.

@kommodoreyenser

The world events are the equivalent to a raid boss in WoW, a game that also has PvE servers. They can be defeated solo and are the end of a stretch of tall tales that culminate in Flameheart appearing, which leads me to believe they are PvE as well as something people can fight over in a PvEvP server, so I would keep them around in a PvE server.

As for the cosmetics, rep, and gold I said they don’t matter to anybody else. I still want to earn them and do the activities to claim them, but you wouldn’t care whether I was Pirate Legend or not, so if earned it in a PvE setting and showed up on a PvEvP setting, I don’t think you would care much at all.

@kommodoreyenser

I feel like I have been fairly reasonable and have heard your concerns about the idea. You are also very much entitled to judge me as you will whether I become pirate legend tomorrow or if I earned it a year ago, you will judge and call me what ever names you want. I’m just stating that it doesn’t matter. If I were to run into you in a game, I would never know what things you have done, how much gold you have, or your rep. I would just know that you are a player. If you earned your gold and status on an alliance server over the course of a day or stole every piece of loot means nothing to me. I don’t understand why it matters how I play the game and why it has to be the same way you played the game.
