I have repeatedly run into a volcano going off, I leave the island till its done, i come back and as soon as I get off the boat, guess what? another earthquake and then another eruption. Its stupid that I have to wait half an hr just to pick up my loot I left at the beach. I literally dont have enough time to pick up a single thing, before another eruption. ...and I'm done with the quest! Just need my loot!
Volcanoes need a minimum time between eruptions
They aren’t usually that frequent. Sure, with perhaps three or four skulls to get or some tricky to find chests a small crew or solo player may not get the voyage completed between two eruptions but there should be ample time to pick stuff up.
If this was a one off perhaps you merged. If not then all I can suggest is watch the volcano and move as quickly as possible the moment the eruption is over.
@durablecupid816 I agree with the idea of a cool down time for volcanos, but 30 minutes is way to long.
@durablecupid816 vulcanoes need to be kind of random as vulcanoes are known to be. They shall not fit your personal needs.
By their nature, volcanos are meant to be unpredictable.
I'm against further nerfing of the Roar, it has gone too far already.
I'm loosing count of the number of "nerfs" now... think if implemented this would be about the 4th or 5th time.
Challenges continually being eroded ... slowly becoming
... #belesspirateI've done my last 3 levels of Athena exclusively in the Roar last week, most of them solo. And you have plenty of time between two eruptions to finish your quest. Each eruptions last between roughly 5-7 minutes and you have way more than that to do what you have to do. Sure, sometimes there is an earthquake but it doesn't always leads to the volcano erupting.
They are fine like that.@fractal-pitch said in Volcanoes need a minimum time between eruptions:

Aye... I basically did all... but maybe 2-3 Athenas in the Roar.
Wasn't an issue back then, and certainly wouldn't be an issue now for myself.
Was a challenging & a very rewarding area... sadly now a shadow of it's former self.@fractal-pitch I've done all 50 order of souls levels solo in the roar now. The volcanoes add nothing, they are just a time waster. I get the missions done, I don't ever loose my boat, its just annoying. You get in your boat and sail away and wait. How is that content? You guys are defending brainless time wasting... and Mr. Row boat? how will that help exactly? Have you even been to the roar? lol. They get destroyed in one big hit.

This isnt a nerf, its a buff. Right now the volcanoes add nothing. They are just a time waster. Everybody knows how to handle them. and since they go off every few min they are annoying, not special, and not dangerous. You park your boat close, you leave when there is an earthquake. Thats not challenging or difficult unless you think tying your shoes is difficult. If they were less frequent, it would lull the players into a false sense of security. They would not be waiting every second for an earthquake, planning what to do, ready to race back to their boat, leave, and sit doing nothing for what feels like 10 min each time, go back, find the spot you left, park there again, finish what you were doing, and if you are unlucky, do it all over again before you can collect every bit of loot. Besides, you are wrong, the only volcanoes that erupt in nature regularly are shield volcanoes that make lava flows, not fling boulders. These are pyroclastic volcanoes. Those erupt rarely and with such force they will destroy their own cone sometimes. They also give weeks warning, if not months usually. So no, if you really think volcanoes are unpredictable, go to hawaii and learn about volcanoes. They are very predictable.

You seem confused. Do you not stash all your loot at the beach somewhere as you kill the skeles? Its the smart thing to do. You should really start. Cuz personally I dont like having to find the skulls in the grass at the end, nor get my stuff stolen as I wait for the volcano, so as I kill them, or dig up treasure, I stash it all by my boat somewhere hidden. Then at the end you just bring it all onto the boat and leave. This lets you get more waves done, or chests dug, between eruptions, and also your treasure is protected while you are waiting out the volcano. its not like anybody is gonna go grab it! lol.

Well..... I just don't know where to start with this one. :)
Volcanic prediction, so single handedly nature has been tamed in SoT, and indeed in the real world.
Bringing in apparent modern science, monitors and seismographs (indeed.. modern thinking) to a game set in the "Golden Age" isn't really your best argument.
Oh wait... oh yeah.... I remember reading about all those people who didn't die as a result of Pompeii and Vesuvius blowing it's top because of all that good predication stuff going on. :)
Guess maybe back then they read from the Prophecies of Nostradamus or some other soothsayer at the time, as good as the modern day prediction methods no doubt :)
So good... that in 2018. Modern methods of detection stopped Anak Krakatoa, in Indonesia killing 437 people. Not.
An area of the world that probably has more volcanologists per square inch thrown at it, than any other.If you want to continue to believe in what you said, go ahead knock yourself out.
You phrase and act as it is fact, you need to educate yourself further.
That is a choice only you can make.
No doubt great advances are being made in the field of Volcanology but your assertions are a little premature and misplaced.
Good luck.lol, all sentimental for the good old days of last week huh?
Sentimental? Yeah!, and not just for last week matey, but the many weeks & months of enjoyment the Roar has given myself & many others. You prefer it nerfed, I don't. For me it wasn't broken & was more of a challenge. The current direction of the game by taming the frequency and area of effect of the volcanoes is pretty sad, and is simply appeasing to the lowest common denominator.
Each to their own matey... you will probably get your additional "nerf".
We can all be pretty certain & "Predict" this may happen.
Unlike Volcanoes in real life.Oh wait... 2.32pm next week on Tuesday remember your umbrella, ah-ha hold on... it might be next month sometime.
Volcanic showers predicted.
Be safe out there. :)@durablecupid816 a dit dans Volcanoes need a minimum time between eruptions :

Calm down.
Where exactly do I say that they are fun ? Nowhere. In fact, i made a post recently where I say that I think the volcano aren't fun and that there are some mechanics in the game that makes me wonder if the devs can actually make the difference between a challenge and a chore.Edit: found it
@fractal-pitch a dit dans Sea of Thieves is the Worst and Most Intresting Game I've Ever Played :I do agree too on the Devil's Roar part. There are a few things in this game where I scratch my head, asking myself if the people behind those mechanics can actually make the difference between a challenge and a chore.
I'd understand if they reworked skeletons and Devil's Roar (especially volcanoes since they're just not interesting at all) but what I don't understand is when they nerf everything else without looking at what's actually driving people and "veterans" like me, crazy.Back to this thread... I was just talking about the time between eruption. Why ? Oh I don't know... Because it is the main subject of this thread ? Crazy idea I know.
And on this subject, yes, I think there's no problem. You have plenty of time to do what you have to do between eruptions and I don't think a timer, as suggested, is required.@durablecupid816 sagte in Volcanoes need a minimum time between eruptions:

well i'm no expert in vulcanoes, but here on earth, volcanoes are very predicable. That is how people live on them all over the world.
So, in real life, you tell a vulcanoe "Wait, I need another 10 minutes to do a job" and the vulcanoe follows your demand... quite impressing. Do others know about your magic power?
I dont think you understand English.
Don't try to do that thinking thing, you may fail.
You should probably learn it before commenting... This forum is for this thing called suggestions. Go get a dictionary and look it up, then look up the work unhelpful as well... cuz thats you.
Lol. You make a suggestion, and I think about it and comment on it. I do not share your suggestion and also say why. You react aggressively and condescendingly, as with almost everyone else who disagrees with you. You are a joker.
@durablecupid816 The fact you did all 50 order of souls as a new player in the roar solo and never once lost your boat is a problem. The roar has already been nerfed to oblivion and its sad. It used to be much harder that many would just stay away and that made it way better. Soloing it was a lot more difficult but now it's just a joke.

Thank you.
I love it when month long snarky sailors lecture balance. Convey us your wisdom oh wise one. For someone who claims to be lvl 50 OOS you don't have the achievement that parallels it.
As others have said, the Roar was never meant to be this easy grinding place, especially for new players. The fact that you, a brand new player, can just solo there with ease in this area, demonstrates a problem. Its been nerfed into oblivion, yet still gives out double everything. The risk no longer matches the reward, yet post after posts still cry for more nerfs.
This forum is for this thing called suggestions. Go get a dictionary and look it up, then look up the work unhelpful as well... cuz thats you.
Highly suggest you do the same, re-read the section header. Your missing the big feedback and suggestion. This is what feedback is, its not just yours that is allowed to be heard. This is also a forum, a place to discuss ideas. If your going to lecture dictionary use, I'd suggest you follow your own advice.
@nessiroj said in Volcanoes need a minimum time between eruptions:
If you watch the trailer (and the loadingscreen tips) you see that rare never intended that boats whould get close to islands in the roar. Hence why they release the rowboat at the same time.
That experienced crew do this and survive is a different matter.
The problem is, they made that range way too big and made rowboats useless because of the volcano auto-target lock-on mechanic.
IMO, if they want to make the DR challenging instead of a tedious waiting game they need to reduce the range of the volcanoes but increase the number of rocks that fall in that range and truly randomize the rocks' trajectory. This will let ships get in closer so that it doesn't take all day to row to the island. Then, add a shadow as an indicator of where rocks will fall so that people who row to the island can try to dodge the rocks. Do the same for rocks that are falling on the island so pirates on land can try to dodge the rocks as well. Add areas on the shores where rowboats can be stashed to keep them alive (small rock formations, caves, existing piers). Make the rocks do more damage to the ship if they hit it.

Actually, the unpredictability of volcano eruptions adds to their danger irl.
The two best signs for eruptions in near future are ground deformation and earth quakes and these are still less accurate than the ones in SoT.Not only do intervals , size, "style" and durations of eruptions vary between volcanos, eruptions of one and the same volcano can vary greatly, too. Some volcanos are far more unpredictable than others. Eruptions can go on for a few minutes, a few days or even years.
We don't need the area to be predictable or forgiving in any way.
People seem to think the Devil's Roar is supposed to be just as casual and accessible as the main area when this really is not the case.
This is supposed to be a challenging area that is plagued by natural disaster for more experienced players. It has become a joke because Rare listen to those that can't be bothered to try and adapt to or rise to a challenge....
