    My crew and I had an absolute blast with the Reaper's Run voyage last night. Did five of them with the Reaper's Mark up and got the awesome new ship set!

    I really love the concept of sending players to one area for a super high profit voyage. It was so interesting to see how players nervously worked around eachother, especially solo players, making a silent uneasy agreement not to attack one another. But when our crew got out there, we made our intentions known with cannon fire. Not a single ship that came to Wanderer's Refuge on our server last night got to keep their treasure from this voyage, as it all ended up on our ship!

    From what I saw last night, things really played out as Rare intended - people working on the voyage whilst others go out to the area with intentions of stealing it all for themselves. A true high risk / high reward situation. What an exhilarating way to drive players together!

    My only criticism is that the Wandering Reaper ship set desperately needs a figurehead!

    The Reaper's Run voyage is seriously one of my favorite things I've seen come to the game. It really is amazing how a couple of controlled variables in a voyage can really alter the experience. Please implement more of these in the future, they are a lot of fun!

    Agreed, I had a blast playing last night. It felt like the OG Skelly Forts and how you'd have like 3-4 ships fighting over who controlled the island. If this is how arena is gonna play out, then I think we're in for a treat.

    This is exactly what I thought. What if this is their way of giving us a little sample of The Arena? If so, I'm absolutely pumped.

    this is exactly what the arena means to all maybe, lets wait and see.

    For us the excitement was very short lived. Clearly Mercenary as a whole is just filler content for now. Reaper’s Mark version just a test for some of what will be seen in the Arena. So, a mini open beta focused test in production.

    There was a little excitement with some limited other player encounters. Got merged. The servers we were on died fast. The Merc voyages are just recycled content for what everyone has done over the past year. Going back and forth to the same islands to just dig up the same chests got boring and lame very fast. When we did have some PvP and won, as we usually do, were cussed and called cheaters. The sails are awful. The whole set should have been better to actually represent the Reaper’s Mark.

    I have heard some mixed reports on the type of activity people were experiencing last night. We had an all around lively experience.

    Mercenary voyages in general have not really appealed to me, because like you said they do feel recycled from regular voyages. But The Reaper's Run voyage really made for a great experience last night!
