Why is hourglass becoming the death of us?

Hourglass, in all is a fun game mode/ side quest, but it’s not the entire game.

Thank you.
It very weird to see everyone up in the air over a small thing. Some even going as far to say, they can’t PvP….

We are basically back to the old days. No diving and straight up sailing. I think if they remove the diving mechanic it be better for the servers. Too many players diving and jumping servers.

Or at least remove from voyages. Stick to one and go play

@xdragonman15558 one small feature? No. Hourglass is "the way to play" for many many players. You might not enjoy Hourglass that much, but to some people it's the only way they enjoy playing. Writing that off is equal to me writing off Tall Tales being bugged, or safe seas. Does every player exclusively play safe seas or tall tales? No. Of course not. But theres enough players that do that exclusively where having that not work at all would be ridiculous. Just because something isn't a big deal for you doesn't mean it's not a big deal for someone else. People paid $40 for this game, whether it's tall tales, safe seas, or HG, $40 means they paid to play that. I mean I know tons of people that have bought SoT exclusively for the TTs or HG. Them not delivering on that is ridiculous.

@xdragonman15558 and the people that stop playing the game when it can't fulfill their request are? You're acting like quitting is some unbelievable and shameful act. If you're a MS/Xbox/Rare employee that would make sense but otherwiseeeee......

It’s as if you removed competitive from a competitive game, sure you can still play casual. But competitive players want competive games

Finding good pvp in adventure can take hours, either people just suck at pvp and sink instantly or they run away. The chance of getting a good fight in hg is drastically higher, and for some people that is all they want

I think hourglass needs a raid style using lotv fort that can be destroyed like lotv voyage but is for those that are true champions of the flame

Easy answer is it's not. People complaining are always the loudest but doesn't mean they represent the majority. I say this as someone who frequently does hourglass. I was very glad to see it's return. But I wasn't ever under any delusions I'd quit the game.

@xdragonman15558 yes, it is affecting us enough to quit. Many of us players have done most of the comms for PvE stuff, we've gotten multiple distinctions for every trading company, and we have given Rare numerous chances. Some of us really enjoy the PvP in SoT, but Rare just does not seem to give any cares at all about that player base. They took away Arena using cherry-picked data, then gave us Hourglass and left it to rot, just like they did Arena. You can't introduce competitive gameplay cycles like Arena and Hourglass and just NEVER update them, unless you want them to fail. Literally, case and point.
PvPers can't win, because when we attack players in adventure mode, they rage and cry and complain about how PvPers are toxic for chasing them and sinking them. Yet when PvPers complain that HG is full of bugs and basically unplayable due to a laundry list of reasons, Rare puts in their earplugs and the white knights ask why we can't just do PvP in adventure mode like we're supposed. It's bananas. Some of us just want to PvP without spending hours of our time chasing people who are already going to curse at us and waste our time. Just give us better instant PvP options whilst actually having a dedicated team to support it, so it can be a win-win for everyone.
