In my opinion the new reaper forts arnt worth it all the damage and the time u put in to it for a few crates and trinkets not worth
New reaper forts
@pred-kill-6489 I have only encountered the mega stash variants, but I’ve had to fight 2+ hours and most of the server most of the time
You are either doing this on safer seas or you are diving to it which does reduce the loot.
The emergent and mega stash version are LOADED. In my opinion, it is OP but I don't mind having all of my reaper comms once again completed.
@dank-jimb0 Loaded sure.... But with junk. I actually cleared one that wasn't trigger as a mega stash and while maybe not worth as much it had more hunters call loot than the mega stash which is full of useless gifts, kingly treasure which is easy enough to find out in the world (before these dumb smugglers bottles replaced 99% of bottle spawns). The mega stash is great commendation catch up grinding. But hot garbage if you've been playing all along. I've been more casual lately so Hunters call and chest of fortune are the big things I need. Should be an ashen athena chest too not a normal since it's the only piece of athena loot. Oh well not like they will change anything now. I do regret grinding chests of tribute now though. I've decided now I will only take the big ticket items and leave the rest to rot until gold & glory weekend anyway.
They really need to just amp up high seas. 4x loot value all the time. Then make gold and glory like an extra 2x or something. Then fully unlock safer seas and let them have the normal 1x value we have right now. Safer seas just being a gold farm is dumb. Reputation isn't some bad of skill or honor it should be gated being dealing with the toxic community this game is full of. It's a PvP game so the toxicity is just part of that play type and isn't something that can be fixed. Having to join alliance discords to "play your way" like Rare has always advertised this game to be is just sad. Because playing my way would be without all the hoops to be able to PvE grind. I worked hard for my captaincy ship I should be able to play it wherever I want. That includes safer seas. Also as one of the rare few who hit pirate legend a month after this game came out "when it was hard" I always viewed that as well I just don't have a life. It's not a badge of pride but a symbol of how much time I wasted on the game. I'm not mad you can hit PL so fast now. I wouldn't care if you could hit PL so fast even on safer seas. Let people play how they want to play. The issue is incentive. Make high seas more risk vs reward over safer seas. But make safer seas a way for people with little time who just want to login and do what they want when they want like Rare has always claimed they wanted this game to be.
