Move Arena to Adventure there should be islands that the sea dog have discovered way north of there tavern where the shroud starts where they set up islands for just face to face pvp and ship combat this is more for the fact that arena is broken and there shouldn't be a tab for there rep/fiction for something you have to "leave game to start up" (arena mode).!
Arena pvp mode moved back into adventure mode?!?!
@k7bones " arena is broken and there shouldn't be a tab for there rep/fiction for something you have to "leave game to start up" (arena mode).!" i agree with you on this point, idk if you can but it would be a huge shame if you couldnt go to the sea dog base in adventure to start playing arena. like you should definately be able to go their, talk to the main guy wich would then auto load you into arena mode.
Moving Arena will not fix anything, if anything, it will only make it worse. What is good about it having a separate mode, is the fact that it draws crews looking to compete into one area. If you move it to Adventure, you lose participants, because not everyone on the server is looking to compete for stuff. People will still do Athena's and regular voyages. That alone could preoccupie 3/4's of the server. Who is left to compete against now? A lot of people have their own goals in mind. A change like this, will just remove most if not all participation.
Frankly, the only way to fix Arena at this point is to outright scrap it. Remove the digging for chest feature, maybe replace that with digging for supply crates, but make the game a time tested mode found in many games. Last boat standing. Its so simple, and death-match is probably one of the most beloved game modes in gaming. No need to over-complicate stuff.
If Arena was moved to Adventure I'd probably play it less than I do now (which would be never). There are much more interesting things going on in Adventure that I would never waste time hoping that someone shows up to the Arena area.
When I want to play Arena, I want to queue up for a match and guarantee that there are other like minded players queuing up for the same.
