Solo Play

no you can't just go to ez gather your gold without danger of other pirates.

@tangente-fut Meh guess this game is destined for my Recycle bin then as I cant stand this merging c**p when I'm not in the mood for a fight and many others feel the same way, are you sure I can't just block a port or two and enjoy some solo sessions, I know they dont have an actual in game option.

It was bad enough having to boot up Windows 10, why on earth they couldn't of just used steam, its UnrealEngine so its not like it wouldn't work with 7. Im just butt hurt, this was the title I had been waiting for and in 2 short days I'm starting to hate it already with its forced gameplay styles...

@r1ch1c "in my opinion this should'nt be a option never." Because you no doubt enjoy PVP for the most part, and yes I enjoy some PVP as well but I also like PVE depending on my mood and we should have the option if we really want to, even if it is just by blocking some ports in our firewall to stop players connecting, not bothered what the solution is I'd just like to play for some of my time alone or atleast being able to pick a server so I have an idea of what im getting, instead of the merging system waiting till my sloop is loaded and then putting galleons on the horizon wherever I go!

@dislex-fx easier said than done when the merge system makes sure they keep bringing more in wherever I head... at the end of the day they are cutting off a mass portion of their possible players, I for one know I wont be returning if I cant find a solution to this and the game is already suffering from a terrible rating no doubt partly because of this... Somethings shouldn't be dictated we should have the option.

@nightmare247365 a lot of game, GTA for example you can block a port or two on your firewall so its in a public game without players, and yes I know that will leave me with little todo, but since the rewards are also very little it would atleast let me grind a few of them in peace on the open ocean...

@nightmare247365 thank you for the information, it may not be the answer I was after :P but at least I know it is not possible at the moment and can stop looking. Who knows if they ever change the PVP thing, add some real quests and get on Steam I might retunr(have to be a lot of quests! first impressions can stick and leave a sour taste) Until then happy plundering to the rest of you, since there isn't much else.... If they do ever add some more content, pve and the rest some please message me as I doubt ill be paying attention.

Even Rust has a PVE mode!

@dislex-fx doesn't help when galleons for one are faster, and two they "merge in" when you are busy looking for treasure on the other side of an island, yes you hear the cannons but when your in a sloop it can easily be sunk before you get back.... and seriously why force players who just want some PVE action into PVP play....

@dahkohtlewin did I get that bit wrong? I've never actually had a head to head with one was just what I had read on that point I know the sloop can turn better...

In a straight shot with no turning and no wind use maybe , but you turn any or use the headwind at all the sloop will always outrun

@dislex-fx and then the next one merges in on the horizon on my new heading, so on and so on until I get to port and they get me while I'm unloading... Really are pushing people away from the game by not letting PVE people, however boring you non stop PVP'ers may think it will be from playing the way we want... Id settle for just having servers all pvp instead of the merge c**p that really does seem to stitch you up more and more as you hold gets fuller.

@shofficer it might ruin the game for you because you can't go after solo players or people who aren't interested in fighting... GTA is a fine example, I built most of my bank with friends and in solo sessions, now Ive got a decent amount of cash I haven't bothered with solo sessions for a long time because it is a lot more fun delivering a car in a full lobby. Same goes here, I am trying to learn the game, get my parking down while drinking a beer or two and instead I have to worry about getting my crates back and avoiding d****e bags.... Its not as if we can trade or do anything of meaning with each other all we have is a fight and at the moment thats not the game mode I want to be playing... Im sure you love the fight and live for it and thats cool, why can't I have some solo time to learn the game... put us on half gold if it really means that much to you but your blind to the facts if you don't think the game would get more players, more players having fun if they could do some solo stuff until they want to join the PVP bunch...

@shofficer why cant I turn in rewards do you feast on tears or something? why cant I build some loot up in solo while learning the game and then get bigger rewards in pvp?

@shofficer Like I said previously it wouldn't, specially with extra rewards for completing missions in PVP what it removes is the easy targets who don't feel like PVP'ing at that time, it allows players to learn the game and get a start why is that so bad in your eyes? not everyone wants to play and compete with others 24/7 with your need to be able to pirate everyone and everything you are going to remove so many players from this game it will turn into an elitist piece of garbage in no time.

Whats so wrong with getting some missions behind a character before going out into the PVP world? whats wrong with having a solo session when you just fancy doing a few deliveries on your own if that is what you enjoy? I understand its not for you but why can't we all have our own fun, is their not enough players to keep your pvp game going or do you like all the easy noobs to kill???

as for Edward-Doe I hope so I could do with a little support, mind like I Said though ill be gone soon enough with this chapter left behind me as It seems people here like the lack of content and forced PVP, such a shame though my first few hours I thought the game was epic then it became a grind with little to no reward... but you'd rather have you PVP action than other players having fun....

@shofficer said
How do [mod edited] like you not realize that something like this would totally ruin the game. If you could just build your bank in safe mode, there would be zero pirating because no one would ever carry anything valuable in pvp.

can we keep this public please I don't know you, nor do I now think I want to.

Can you not realize by cutting out PVE for when people don't want to PVP your going to loose your player base so damn fast...

I'm not asking to be able to switch mid session when ive got my loot onboard, im talking about when I Start my session...

anyway for me now the magic of this game is ruined, if I could of done a little bit pve first I would of probably even bought it at some point and suffered the odd boot of windows10, you want to get me back now(im sure you dont) Im going to need to hear of many many quests, lots of great voice acting, pve! and Windows7/Steam. but Im sure you will stick with your guns and have some great short term sales and then flop massively when everyone gets sick. Enjoy.

I did mean it mind my first few hours I was really blown away and thought the game was one of the best in a long time, then realization slowly set in that Im doing the same 3 quests and their is no dialogue or story....

I think the best solution would be to make a solo mode where people only can do offline stuff so the gold they earn online is seperate from online, same with items/decos/etc.

@tangente-fut see that wouldnt peek my interest either, why not just have a pvp bonus if it means that much to you? anyway got a feeling this is a lost cause and I wouldn't want to ruin the precious that no one will want to play in a year or two without some major changes...

@pantang sry disagree. This is clearly a MP Pirate game ^^ The name alone says it all.

They should just make the map bigger and let them respawn far away if the die. But second one is already in work and comes with next wekk i read in the forum from a mod somewhere

@tangente-fut Well good luck keeping that player base, I hope you's pull it off and keep having fun. For me, its a shame but the merge thing is an absolute game breaker, and I bet you all it becomes part of a coin store in the future.
