@taaaamas said in Solo gameplay:
@vderickv Yea and also the issue about server being able to handle 24 ships? Think of that?
It is essentially easy mode, you are taken away from any bigger threats into somewhere thats quieter, how dont you understand that
You are taken from bigger threats who have an advantage over you to a lobby where everyship and player is at an equal advantage. tell me why its a bad idea rofl.
@taaaamas said in Solo gameplay:
@vderickv So it is making it easier?
It effectively is the same game and changes nothing other then the crew limit and ship restriction. it puts everyone on an even playing field and adding more ships to the server to increase ship encounters that are all completly fair in battle. infact i would use this mode specificly for pvp battles sometimes so saying its easy mode is dumb and false. you may encounter more pvp actually it would just be more fair pvp.... explain more if i'm missing your point.
@taaaamas said in Solo gameplay:
@vderickv Do you think that a solo sloop in the main game is hard?
I'v already said this yes a solo sloop in the main game has many disadvantages from ccb numbers supply numbers to amount of time it takes to cashing everything in to how well you can sail. Yes there is many disadvantages to solo in the main game. so making solo sloop lobbies a thing to put all solo players in a sloop on the same playing field is not a easy-mode it just makes the game actually playable for solo players again. remember i played this game from launch and its 100x harder to solo now then it was on launch day.
@taaaamas said in Solo gameplay:
@vderickv So yea, then adding this mode would make it easier
Okay kid. sure it gets easier but in reality it makes the game playable again. Now if you solo all the time and you are fine w/o solo lobbies you can still solo in the main game. this is just an added mode for those who don't want to. understand?]
(i really don't think it should count as it gets easier) because when the game was launched the game was playable solo. hardly playable solo now. as things in the game change to go against solo players somethings have to be done.

i stopped reading because this is another "get good post" honestly.. You make a comment like this and i say i could prob sink you. Thats the point i make. assuming everyone who makes a post like this must suck is arrogance.
I never said you “suck”. You’re being needlessly pugnacious and defensive. Saying, “I could probably sink you,” is pointless and has nothing to do with anything aside from stroking your fragile ego. The fact is I play solo all the time and don’t have the problems you’re having. I don’t want or need a “solo lobby.” You seem to take personal offense to that, for some reason. I was just trying to help, but you obviously think you’re a master of the game and don’t need any help. You’d rather blame your problems on others. Well I’m afraid I can’t help you with that. Good luck.
@vderickv If i didnt understand i wouldnt be here 'kid' (very overused and easy term dont ya think?). If you add this extra lobby then it is splitting the player base, something that annoys people with these arguments to hear, but its true. You will have people off in their own easy version of the game, no point of playing it in a higher difficulty if you just wanna progress easily. Yes it is easy mode, you have 5 other players in a server, your encounters are limited the sea is much quieter if the whole point of it is to get rid of the bigger competition, people will be taking advantage of that to be off on their own.
Also, in your newly edited part, what in the game has made it so difficult that you would rather not play the game anymore that is different from launch.

"splitting the player base"
This games solo player base is already relatively small as this is a crew based game so this argument imo just cant work here. rofl. nice try.
These lobbies would not make you progress faseter then a full crew this idea is also just dumb.
If solo sloop lobbies were made. i can garantee it would be more then 6 ships per server so quit using that also. it would be more like 10-12 ships.
And yes 10-12 per server is possible. the 6 ships currently is for balancing not a restriction based on their servers lol....
@vderickv You'd be surprised how many solo people there are, not many people enter the game with friends. People either go into open crew with a first instinct or they sail alone. I also never said that you would progress faster, i said easier. I already said how the bigger server count would have issues, so yea, ignore that at your own will.

This post just makes me think the solo sloop lobby would be better then i originally thought. all those fresh players would do better on a sloop only server especially to start. I'm a legend player of sot and i would enjoy a solo sloop lobby as much as i enjoy the full crew ship lobby. separating them doesn't separate the player base on a server game anyway as servers fill and merg naturally so the main server would essentially take no impact.
@vderickv Just seems pointless to add this entirely new set of servers all for this tiny issue. Also, if you did encourage new people to begin in this new server then it would of course allow pirate legends to go hunting through those servers for new people.
Anyway this argument has been going on for 4 hours and frankly i'd rather not stay up arguing this, and just rather let opinions be opinions, because i really don't care anymore. We have backtracked and looped more times than i can count (which is only around like 2 anyway).
@taaaamas I don't see it as a tiny issue. Infact i see it everytime i play as a crew.
I think that its already easier for the full crews galleons, brigs and duo sloops to just hunt down sloops (in hopes for solo players) for an easy kill. Honestly when i play using lfg crew everyone is always looking at sloops as easy loot. And it is most of the time. sloops do put up a fight sometimes but for the most part i also look at them as free loot.
Imo solo sloop lobbies are the only fix. and if no fix happens. then the player base numbers will just drop. Like i said i'll come back for the limited time cosmetics and i play using lfg for that. but other then the cosmetics i play solo and i wont be back until something is done. Hope rare listens. its not game breaking to add support to solo players. it is game breaking to assume all solo players must change the way they want to play because of balancing issues.
@taaaamas said in Solo gameplay:
@vderickv I guess thats a no then?
I don't understand what you're saying here. Am i missing something?
Idc that you're done w/ my thread post just stop replying if that's the point you're making.
Also not all pirate legends are amazing at pvp. just bcuz they are pirate legend does not put them at an advantage in a sloop vs sloop fight. its all equal that's why i'm 100% for solo sloop lobbies there is nothing about it that makes it garanteed easy or not. like you said pirate legends who are good could sail around killing others. or they get sunk by the first noob they see. its still all even playing field.
@vderickv Maybe read what i actually posted about me wanting to end the argument that is going nowhere and not skip over it next time
@taaaamas
My post doesn't stop just because you say stop. replying gets replies and if you want to end it stop replying that's when you're done.
@vderickv You were the one who asked what i was talking about, all im saying is the argument in question. Not the thread. Maybe read a little closer next time, k?
@taaaamas
Yea opinions be opinions. sure agree to disagree my last statement stands. replying gets replies. if you want it to end don't reply? sure others have opinions too.
@vderickv idk to be honest my ego isn't that big to think that you may not be better than me, if you choose solo you have chosen hard mode yourself for whatever reason and have to deal with the consequences of what comes with solo play not ask rare to fix what isn't broken, there's still the lfg/discord or even this forum to find decent people to play with you don't have to use open crew, I use it often so I know the type of people you run into 😂, I offered a little guidance not knowing what skill level you were at that you chose to ignore and went straight to the part you deemed negative which wasn't my intention to say "get good" so my apologies if we got our wires crossed mate.

Solo play wasn't always the way it is. so your post is way off.
Solo play wasn't broken at first. Rare broke it overtime with everything they added along w/ the pvp that's always been there. at first on launch your only risk on the sea was players as a solo player. now its players and everhthing else. and the balance is just not there anymore as a solo player. Was doable at launch and for months after launch. not so much anymore. You assuming i wanted any of your "guidance" is actually your arrogance. and you should really not assume someones skill lvl ever. And anyone who assums skill lvl is the reason for a post will not be listened to as honestly their opinion in the matter bcuz they think its skill lvl is null or void. understand?
OP admits to no longer playing SoT.
Rare is quite happy about the state of the game and is eager to get on with the next years plans.
Somehow, I doubt they will implement a solo server option anytime soon.
They dont want you to have an easy mode.
They want you to make friends, have adventures, and have fun working towards a common goal.
We all sail on a sea of salty tears.

Nothing about a solo sloop lobby prevents people from making friends having adventures and having fun working twards goals. or even killing others in pvp which you say its easy mode. what makes it so easy? because the ships you face will also just be a solo sloop aswell? that seems pretty fair to me... so explain the easy mode concept? rofl.
@vderickv said in Solo gameplay:
@barnabas-seadog
admits to no longer playing sea of theives solo. correct sir. It's broken. My point exactly.
Broken for you perhaps.
I only play casually since launch, mostly random crews or solo. Yet I find myself at 50/50/44.
I'm pretty sure I can solo a brigantine and just do cargo runs from Devils Roar to achieve Pirate Legend.
I like the idea of being an honest merchant sailor in a sea full of danger.
I'd hate to accomplish this task on a solo only server.
So would Rare.
@barnabas-seadog
I have been a legend for months now dude so it goes to say i prob have much more solo time then you. not including time played. i did almost all of my merchant lvls solo and before you could buy the lvls with duke. You aren't convincing me you have played more solo time then me. you argued w/ me about lfg so i know you mainly use that. It was much better before to solo. now i don't even want to do it. Something should be done about that as thats the main way i played.. I loved doing all the solo i did. Now i only play the game for the event and i use lfg and lfg is only slightly better then open crew. i still think open crew needs search preferences.
@gullysquad28 the spawn rate will calm down after the commendations been out for a while. They always have an uptick for sailors to complete their commendations.
@barnabas-seadog
my point of view is Balance for the solo community. That's all.
I think it would primarily be used by people who are more friendly in nature so sure there may be some sloop alliances with the few people who do go in for pvp and that would balance it out pretty well. i don't see it being an easy mode however.. I think if anything it opens up more opportunity for surrendering/betrayal/friendly encounters.
