Curse grind hourglass - servants of the flame/Athena fortune

Its a lack of people participating. Most either have their curse/cosmetics they wanted, are too put off to try, or have been turned off by cheaters.

Almost as if the replacement for Arena is taking the same path of Arena... interesting.

I don't think timezones are going to fix it tbh, just gotta wait and hope that Rare does something about the state of the game in s10.

@gallerine5582 make it Less of a day 1 pl grind no one has the patience to do that anymore and add more modes to it there fixed

Not something I have fun doing so I stay away. I'm like lvl5 on both.

I thought stamp switching was supposed to be in now so people in empty regions could end up in more populated ones?

Is it that bad out there?

feels like the hourglass is so dry all the time.

This became a thing after 2 months. Before they started cracking down on Alliance ship sharing exp & those who gave free wins.
Once all the casuals or quick players got the curses they wanted, they all stopped playing. They got what they wanted.

I have both curses and still try to play but I get either cheaters, not super common, but still there. The dude that runs for 2, no really just fought for 2 hours because half of you still “fighting” for your curses DONT FIGHT! You don’t have to run just because your ship is hit once, most of you that do this are “trying to protect your streak” of what?!?!?! ONE???? Then the minority of players are straight up fights.

I love the mode but get annoyed logging on to fight for 4 hours because people are afraid to fight in the mode. So it turns into 1 battle and I get off. I’m happy I got my curses when people were still fighting, not cheating, and not cheesing. I still stand behind Rare just removing it from the game, the curses not the mode. The community has shown it’s true colors all in effort to earn pixels and it truly makes me sad for the state of a lot of the community.

@walnutcoyote275 I play Hourglass fairly regularly and never wait longer than 3 minutes for a fight (although I'm usually matched to far more skilled players). Perhaps there are more people in my "zone" that play SoT?

They never should have removed arena instead just make new game-modes than a glorified X marks the spot in which people just camp the selling point. Before the end, crews realised it was easier to just sink other ships without bothering with the chests.
All I ever wanted was PvP without the constant maintenance of my ship, stick my crew against another on the sea fortresses and let us just duke it out, maybe dropping skulls for each death which we would have to sell to a teleporting phantom

I'd still play it if there were more modes, more ships in a battle and faster/equal supplying. Constant 1v1 against the same ship type and having to resupply for 10min gets boring fast. P.s. I'm level g108 and s201.
