Suggestion to improve leveling a Servants/Guardians faction

I dont think its a good idea to put progress like that, losing gives you some progress even if you plan to sabotage it. Someone on Reddit did the math and if you plan to get the Level 100 Curse, you need to lose 1.500 Matches. If you want to win the curse and try your best, you'll need to defeat 110+ Ships (No Streak Cheese) or just 90+ (Streak Cheese). The ''Streak Cheese" is to get 2-wins in a row and then deliver your Hourglass, re-do everything again since this method gives a better XP reward than grinding all the way to 4-Streak and lowering at the end.

There's tons of cosmetics that you unlock along the way, why focus on the curse alone tho? There are other curses to chase as well, 90% of the people that have the Level 105 Curse (Legendary) did so by just playing the game during Season 1 (Level 100 Battle-Pass and reaching Level 50 in 3 Factions werent that hard as people bring it up to, since everyone just had the Year-1 Stuff to do, lots of people focused on the basic grinding).

Also, the progress doesnt get harder by the further you go, it seems to be the same amount. 1 Win usually gets a level done, 2-winstreak gives nearly 2 and etc.

you guys are insider's I see well i stopped participating as one of them when i Realized RARE doesn't care for what you care or think, however it makes no difference come 2023 they will not be able to compete with all the upcoming advances to the gaming industry if anyone is still battling for curses in 2023 then welcome to boomerhood gaming is taking a huge leap in another direction, and a way better one so if your a true gamer see ya there goodbye Sea of Thieves you had a good run but you didn't listen to what truly mattered most (Your community) and that was your down fall.

@kg-dcrofaod what leap? All I see is increases in mobile games and microtransactions. SoT has its issues but its business model is a breath of fresh air amongst most greedy companies out there

I think they got their math wrong so if i check mine pirate milestones I played 132 battles as servant of witch I won 78 what puts me close to 60% win rate. And I’m not even lvl 50. And I’m doing the "Streak Cheese" because with 60% win rate I rather have have little bonus at 2 streak than non at higher streaks. So if leveling is linear that means that it will take me 160 wins to get lvl 100 by doing "cheese streak" and roughly 270 games played. If its linear!

I’m interested to know what other players stat in pirate milestones are and what lvl they are.

Lets say if you have 90% win rate you can have lvl100 with 90sinks and 100 games played.
But in order for someone to have 90% win rate there needs to be players that have 10% win rate. And for them to get to lvl 100 it will take them 150 wins witch means over 1500 games played.
Now lets take average player with 50% win rate that will be more likely 350 games to get to lvl 100.
Lets put this into numbers lets say 20min per match (which is generous) how long it will take to get to 100.
Win rate - hours
90% - 34h
50% - 115h
10% - 500h

Now lets talk player retention. How many players that see that they will need 500h will stay and play this mode? They will leave you have less players longer waiting times. It true that pool now have more experience players top players win rate goes little down. But also players who were wining against those players that left now are bottom of barrel and they will leave next and cycle continues. Game mode will be losing players overtime anyway but let thy to keep pool bigger by boosting leveling experience to lvl 100. Lets say with suggestion i made at top you can get 50 easy levels by cementations. That will only halve time to 100: so 90% player will get his in 15h, average in 50h and 10% in 200h. How is this to quick? And we all know average battle is not 20 min.

But what bout prestige you would say. You have lvl 1000 course for that. So to get 1000 course without commendations, if its linear. It would take:
90% - 340h
50% - 1150h

Lets say you can get 250 lvls from all commendations. That will only shorten time by 25%

So to get to lvl 1000 with 250 lvls from commendations.
90% - 225h
50% - 860h

I know that players are not putting 1150 - 860h in to get a prestige commendations and they will be rare and prestige.

And that math is only for 1 course you have 2.

@Bostopir8006 Aaaah got it, I said that because I've been playing with my Friends, we have 18 Ships sunked under Athena/Guardians and we are currently at Level 22. One big Streamer got to level 101 by sinking 100 Ships too, I only noticed later that he got through Solo-Sloop (and that he is a beast).

There's several other ways to get curses, this is a PvP-Related Curse. Its Ok to have certain cosmetics be earned through specific tasks and this one is no crazy task, its a linear one. You get by playing, Sinking or losing. The PvE Curses are far more appealing imo, as being a Super-Glowy Phantom can make you stand out while being chased or invaded.

Being insider I report bugs mainly, video submissions of glitches and etc. I can't and won't talk about what I find, but it has nothing to do with ''coping'' with the game's situation.

These 4 Specific Curses (Skeleton, Golden Skeleton, Phantom, Legendary Pirate) are all linear progress, the Season started 1 Month ago, you are not supposed to get everything done in just 20+ Days.
