Pvp Faction Matchmaking Mode and 2 VS 2 Idea

  • It's sometimes hard to find a good crew willing to combat the Reaper or Athena factions, I join or wait for players to arrive and they happen to be either wanting to do something else or just randomly leave at the start of it, which makes me vote on the Hourglass and go solo sometimes.

    I think there should be a Matchmaking mode choice added on the main menu, other than invading or waiting to be invaded in Adventure Mode, that can have you pick either faction and matchmake with an open crew against another player ship, placing you in the underwater load time area (OR at the Sea Dogs Tavern) till the match begins.

    Another idea to go with it is to have a "Team Deathmatch" choice to pit two of the same type of ships against the other (like two brigs vs two brigs for example).

  • I would love to see 2 vs 2 matchmaked battles as well as something centred around the forts some kind of king of the hill maybe?

  • Problem.

    Okie so I join a crew who wants to do hourglass. Okie cool. Well maybe later someone wants to switch to something else?

    With what we have. We can freely switch without having to quit. So why would we want this?

  • @burnbacon then don't use it if you think you might switch. Its an extra tool for people who want it, why not? There was no suggestion to remove the way it is now just add an additional option.

  • TDM says aye

  • Is this suggestion about an alternative to open crew as you find people joining don't want to do hourglass? Honestly open crew is gonna be very inconsistent so I'd recommend using lfg or discord to find people who want to do same thing as you

    I think it's very unlikely that they add pvp as a separate mode or option as that was a lesson learned from arena and have intentionally made it part of normal adventure mode

    That being said, the extra option for pirates life is kinda pointless with only difference being the spawn point

  • I think what they should do is add a selection in the menu that lets you choose between SoF hourglass or Guardian hourglass and matches you with people who have the same intent. this would make a lot of sense and would eliminate a lot of server hopping for people who wanna find a hourglass group. I don't think everyone should have to join groups threw the discord or any other service just to be able to competently play the game mode they would like to. Truth is those without friends playing or those not using the discord, it is very hard to find a like minded group. 90% of hourglass i have ran in a galleon in open lobby has ended up dragging newer players into a battle they are not prepared for but due to there being no in game way to assure your group is understanding of the pvp hourglass you cant avoid having these players in your group. Pleas rare add this option to the join lobby menu.

  • As the last post in this thread is months old and reviving it as such is considered thread necro, we will go ahead and drop anchor on it here. Thank you.
