One of the reasins areana died is boredom between rounds. As fewer people played the wait got longer and the feedback loop got worse.

This is unlikily to be as bad for the last ship standing, at least at the start.

One way around this, at least for duel sloops is to allow dueling or have an optional wait area for TDM.

@metal-ravage I will address that you're speaking on behalf of everyone on sea of thieves, I for one and a few others in my guild are against being stuck in a gloomy boring and an attempt to make me fall asleep in a loading queue lol. i will agree with you "Arena is dead" well it is dead because it's not in the game lol

@europa4033 Care to share the information?

@themetalman4011 That's a whole different subject my dude.

@metal-ravage Do you play Safer Sea's?

@burnbacon Thats always been the idea of pvp, but thats not what we are talking about

@mr-nismox

They're already working on what the Arena will be used for, and it's not arena/hourglass.

Not to be petty, but doing so would leave players no time to get into positions on their ships while submerged.
Like the Helm running to Helm and everyone else running to sails.

@mr-nismox said in New 6 boats fight Hourglass (Instead of waiting underwater we wait in the ARENA TAVERN):

also in my post it says "we should be given the option to chill in the HOT TUB in the arena tavern like old times." So if you're potentially sensitive to such environments or you're not using a private chat you have the ((((option)))) to be in the gloomy underwater instead.

If the choice is between toxicity and gloom, I guess the choice is obvious, no one wants to fuel toxicity so gloom it is. As for the rest, Arena is dead, make your peace with it!

Unlike arena, this new event has strict rule set.
Fight to the death, that it. No chasing chest to score and win.

@metal-ravage To respond to that argument, "No that would just mean to bring back the same toxic environment.". Ummmm if you're searching hourglass, and the "toxic environment" is also searching hourglass with the assumption that you're both using game chat - You're going into the same environment regardless.

also in my post it says "we should be given the option to chill in the HOT TUB in the arena tavern like old times." So if you're potentially sensitive to such environments or you're not using a private chat you have the ((((option)))) to be in the gloomy underwater instead.

@mr-nismox That was one of the problems with the Arena, players waiting for the battle to start and having nothing to do but share insults. No that would just mean to bring back the same toxic environment.
