@expsnailer said in Alternate arena mode?:
@xultanis-dragon unlocking commodations and turning in chest dosn't make it PvE tho. Commodations are the equivalent to calling cards in CoD and the chest mechanic in arena is literally just capture the flag. It's not a frankenstein mode. It's ARENA. The name even suggest what it is. It's actually funny how people keep trying to say "it's not PvP" then what's competitive about it? The competition is to see who can sail, fight, sink, and survive longer. With a particular focus on the fight and sink aspects. As I stated before the chest is literally just capture the flag. The only difference is it's a chest not a flag but the same rules apply, first team to grab it and turn it in gets point tword victory. The idea is to fight to get it. I don't mean to be rude, it just really is funny how people are saying it's not PvP and are trying to make it out to be that it's a smaller version of SoT, it's not, its the PvP aspect of SoT with hardly any reward. A smaller version of SoT would be a significantly smaller map with all the mechanics of adventure available. Arena is meant to be an ARENA.
The commendation don't make it PvP and the commendations don't make it PvE. Its suppose to be a condensed version of Adventure.
The name might suggest what you "THINK" it is but its not the PvP server. Adventure is literally the same thing but with out the point system. You find a crew that is doing an event or has loot, you sink them, or you could just find a crew to fight and sink. They could fight and run away.
If you look at the mechanics for Adventure and Arena they are literally the same exact thing. Except one has a timer and a point system.
You could win Arena matches without fighting anyone. Especially in the old Arena. I had matches where I didn't fire a single cannon ball and we won by a huge margin. Can still do it in this one as well. The idea is to fight in Adventure to protect your stuff as well.
If you haven't realized it both adventure and arena are PvPvE. They are both and not one or the other.
Arena is not meant to be ARENA. Arena is meant to be a condensed version of adventure. The creators of the Arena stated what their wish for the Arena was and repeated MULTIPLE times that it was NOT the PvP server nor was it ever intended or will be intended to be the PvP server.
Regardless of how poorly implemented it is and the fact that they need to rework it I don't care what the word or the event in your head means to you, but I go with the meaning the creators used for the event.
Hell, they could call it the PvP Arena competition fighting super deluxe PvP combat Galore - and if the dev's still came out to say it was not meant to be the PvP server then its not meant to be the PvP server.
