Ahoy!

The team have semi-recently given their thoughts on the topic of PvPvE and discussed it in an official Podcast here.

There is also a thread for Custom servers here.

Sea of Thieves will always be a shared world adventure game, with elements of both PvP and PvE but Joe did speak about Custom Servers about a year ago. These servers will not offer Gold or progression IF they become available to the public. Private Servers are still being tested with our Partners.

Dropping anchor on this now.

What a poor attempt at reverse psychology

It's the same issue the game has always had with player interaction.

Some people just don't want to.

We don't talk about Bruno directing players towards other players while doing the original voyages btw...

What a poor attempt at reverse psychology

Soo… Arena with some changes?

Also, I missed out on the angry guy again! That’s some quality entertainment and I missed it!

@VA1um

Firstly, what's a core?

The reason there isn't a way to artificially choose the type of players we'll find on the server is because, from the developers point of view, the game is designed to be an adventure in to the unknown each time we play. Bumping in to other players is meant to be an occasional occurrence, and we're not supposed to know the intent of, or the type of players we're going to meet.

Who knows, perhaps Rare will see this post and implement it. I doubt it though as in my view that's just not the intended experience.

@va1um

Yes and no. Pvp is supposed to be the outlier, not the main. I'm not saying pvp isn't valid, but the vast majority of players aren't really interested.

In before the regulars tell me THEY'RE interested

I like this idea, but it can be OP or UP without suggestion.

send you to a server with players who also want to play pvp?

So the server will be full of PvP players but this function will only be useful for the first week/month after people realize...the PvP has become an Alliance server now and everyone works together...Oh wait that a Pve server...

Gotta love the forums.

@va1um Similar suggestions have been made before; and as Majman pointed out, they can be manipulated to have the opposite effect of what they're trying to achieve.

Finding crews to fight in Adventure is actually not that hard, if you're willing to lower your standards to every new crew or solo slooper you come across. Finding a good, fair fight however, can be difficult because of how diverse the playerbase is.

Arena offered us the closest thing to a fair fight, but as you're aware, that's now gone. There are still communities that host naval battles & TDMs in custom servers offered by some helpful partners and affiliates. If you're interested in getting involved, feel free to DM me and I'll try to pull you in.

Ah, back for round 2? @deckhands! 😆

My guy literally made another alt to just try insulting a random stranger online. Guess someone is bored today!

People would just end up not checking "PvP" in just to have an easier time taking loot from people leaning more towards PvE.

[mod edit]

As opposed to someone who thinks they can fight head to head with the mods? 😆

@va1um
Simply no. This is pirate adventure sand box, not Battle Royale. There are a lot of PvP games to choose from.

@noblesphere156 @deckhands!

Imagine crying to the deckhands loser

You realize it is against the rules to try to get past the profanity filter? Cause that's why I'm pinging them (not to mention you are just rude to everyone)

Really? I think you're just being a little too soft here, go back to your safe corner

I personally don't care, but I follow the forum rules, unlike you

@noblesphere156 @deckhands!

@timedsatyr79799 we just calmly discuss and share opinions. we don't argue

Please do not start a fight or an argument. it doesnt seem like you are making one, but it may turn out to be that way. Till then, good day to you @VA1um @Lackbarwastaken @D3ADST1CK @NobleSphere156 @Deckhands

@noblesphere156 you press the button that you want to play PVP, and you are selected by servers with the same players who pressed the same button.

@d3adst1ck I am a new player, and I did not find answers to my questions, I just know that they removed the arena (they cut out the main PVP mode), I like this game and I would like to play it longer. But due to the fact that I have been looking for rivals for 2 hours, I have no desire to launch this game. Therefore, if there is no arena, let them improve the PVP search.
