Start appreciating your PvE player base

@jackieboombox said in Start appreciating your PvE player base:

Whilst most PvP players will tell this thread it's a pirate game, the golden age of piracy was probably more a mixture of alliances and looking out for one another. Most pirates who used violence and murdered were hung in Execution Dock, London for their CRIMES. I understand the pirate code was death to a pirate that sexually offend against women. I can't even say the R**e word here because you've banned it, but in your game I have to listen to it........???

Pirates where also hired by companies like the East india trade company to keep the companies hands “clean”

Majority of Pirates died of scurvy,

Most sailors died of scurvy because they didn’t realise what was the cause, which was simply a lack of vitamin C. When this was found out they used to add lemon/citrus juice to their grog etc and hey presto scurvy prevented

whilst my desire to play the PvE side and collect treasure ensures the PvP'ers have something to steal. Not recognising this fact and all of us have experienced toxic language and spawn camp killing, it has ruined the game for loads of PvE loving pirates.

And they helped with that, while the language is simply reportable and will get actioned, for the players that want to remove the risk of pvp altogether there is safer seas.

However removing the majority of the in game risk temoves the majority of its rewards.

I therefore humbly request Rare to truly consider a PvE game for your customers who find the thought of killing rather abhorrent and disagree it should be included in entertainment mediums like gaming.

It is indeed a different game, because at its core sea of thieves is a pvevp/pvpve game and that will not change.

Please consider taking us away from being the cannon fodder for toxic gameplay and let us have a world where we can form alliances and friendships, enjoy the vast array of PvE gameplay.

They have clarified time after time after time again that a unimpeded PvE gamemode will not come, safer seas is the middle ground.

But why no other pirates in safer seas? ,because it would cost a significant amount of rework to make sure no other pirates can mess with you. It would be simple for me to join a safer seas server and get on your ship and take your most valuable treasure and hold it, you cant kill me so no risk. (Just a small example) i could also keep dropping gunpowder barrels on your ship or dropping them in front of your ship so you run into them.

This additional work would be required for any new features and how would Rare pay for that ?

Additional coding work just to keep a gamemode alive was the main reason why arena ultimately got taken down

Give us proper safe servers where no damage from other boats and their players have no impact on the humans playing the game. If you can program crews to have no effect on one another, can't be killed or damaged by team mate, you can do it for all the players on a server.

See point above.

Give us the same rewards and monies for collecting all the treasure and stop using us to fund a few players that walk around the PvE aspect of the game to purely PvP.

Even IF they would do that, its a risk vs reward game, remove part of the risk, remove part of the rewards. Hey presto safer seas.

The PvE “complainers” finally got an outreach and got given a hand, now they want the whole arm.

Give them the game they want. No point including anything PvE related and let them fight one another until their hearts content.

You clearly dont know what how the silent majority plays this game… as it was intended some pve some pvp. There is always the vocal minorities that keep complaining about the lack of pve/pvp content

Allow us PvE'ers to enjoy the game style we like. Unless you take away the difficulties now to solo around the world and constantly put us in a position of pointing out we need to get good at PvP.

You purchased a game and are now complaining you dont like the game maybe its just not the game for you.

I dont like battle royale games but love shooters, i dont go playing fortnite BR or Pubg and then keep requesting for them to remove the BR component

We may be very good at PvP but understand it's not my thing, I don't really want to virtually kill anything and unless you can monitor and stop someone from subjecting me to spawn killing and offensive and toxic behaviour, you have no right to expect me to report players for this. It's your game and you have a duty of care to all of us to PLAY with some degree of protection. As a female player, males have told me I will be rpd, I'm a bh, I'm a we, they treat us like we're there for their enjoyment and say the most despicable things. I can't even type those words here because they are not allowed, yet in your game I have to listen to them on a fairly regular basis, how can you stop me from telling you the words I have to listen to in game.

If this is all that you run into language wise, report and move on OR mute all other crews.

In ANY game where there is online communication there will be people that use that to be toxic, i dont condone that but its just a fact of life.

Also in my experience its usually the people getting attacked and sunk that begin with the abusive language so its not limited to a certain group be it pve or pvp

As some PvP'ers have not taken on board that without those that engage in all the aspects of the game you provide, they wouldn't have anything to steal.

Seriously think about creating PvE servers just for those that will never get good, don't want to get good and do not want to engage in hostile behaviour with humans when enjoying a game.

Please stop the endless commendations that warrant PvP interactions.

Please stop the endless commendations/events that force people to be friendly, see it works the same way the other way around, also you have now started to talk in circles.

Lots of customers don't enjoy the behaviours and game play of the more toxic players. As Developers you should give us what we want and stop pandering to the streamers who need us as entertainment tools for their streams. They are in the minority. I don't think we should be the entertainment for toxic audiences.

They are not required to in any way pander to anybody and you are in no way shape or form entitled to a different game then the one you purchased.

They dont pander solely to pvp players and/or content creators.

Every give or take 3 months content is added to the game and some will be more pvp focused whilst others be more pve focused.

Just let us play the game we love in a world where, what we want is allowed to happen. Where I can sail into the sunset without being chased down and shot at whilst they scream and hurl abuse just because they think they can.

Safer seas

Never leave it to me to have to prove that happened, it's your game find ways of listening and banning immediately those that do.

And it is illegal in most jurisdictions to just listen in on conversations you are not a party in, be it text or speach.

Otherwise give me the game I desire to play in peace and without being used in such degrading ways.

Maybe this game isnt for you

I hope you value us as customers and allow us to play our way, you've certainly taken note of PvP'ers demands and valued them.

As they have the pve players with safer seas and other updates like all the tall tales. As said before some content will be pve oriented others pvp oriented

Treat us the same please. That way I can choose when or if I want to PvP.

They do and you can

I hope one day I can PvP in world where vile behaviour is simple cut short and removed the minute it leaves their mouths. Until then give me the choice isn't the money I paid for the game as good as the next persons.

They cant because laws exist, thats why they need reports
