Please devs can you Focus on free private servers because the game is not fun as it is now

Low-tier satire bait

@comingthe-k-man okay I'll take the bait.

The private servers are likely to not be free. They are being designed with events in mind. So commendations, reputation, and currency gains will be disabled.

You will be able to go on adventure with your dad when they eventually arrive, but anything done in game won't be recorded.

Just sell more often and don't carry more loot than you sre willing to lose. Don't fly an emissary flag if you don't want the added attention. Sail on the outskirts of the map rather than in the middle.

@comingthe-k-man IF you want to use the emissary system you can, just you have the added risks. The events on private servers are going to be community driven such as solo brig races or fleet wars. This is a shared world pvpve game, get used to other players.

@captain-coel but why even play the game if we can’t use embassies to get more gold and exp why play at all if we can’t get the satisfaction of making progress in a video game and the thing about private servers going to be use for events if you get no gold/exp or progress in any faction the whats the Point of even doing the event then because it’s clear that you wouldn’t get nothing out of it that just makes no sense

If progress in the game was guaranteed and you never had to worry about sinking to another crew ever, what is the point of playing the game? You are just grinding away time with no challenge (playing enough will show you how laughably easy the AI enemies in this game are even for a solo) Cosmetics then become a guaranteed low-bar goal which just costs you hours of your life, requiring no skill or effort to obtain, and therefore are meaningless.

So why not play on a private server with no progression? Your main goal is to not have to fight other players and not getting sunk by them, right?

AI enemies in this game, the PvE stuff, is all meant to bide time until another crew comes along. They can be friendly or hostile, but the game all comes down to driving interaction between player crews.

@captain-coel i’ll get its a share world but That doesn’t mean players can’t have the option to play in a private world and to make progress so they can have fun they will still be the online public servers all I’m saying is just allow the option to play the game privately I just don’t understand why so many people hate The idea of people that want to choose to play the game without having to worry about running into any other players because the argument of it being a PVPVE and it’s an shared world just makes no sense you don’t lose anything if you want to play privately and for everyone that wants the PVPVE you will still be able to do it I just don’t get what’s the problem

If there was an option to grind faction rep and commendations offline/not on a player populated server, that would literally be the only way to go for anyone with a brain. No one would risk playing on standard servers except for the single purpose of finding and sinking other empty player ships (because you know, everyone is now only doing voyages and getting loot turned in on private servers)

It's a moot point, Rare will not allow progression on servers outside public adventure servers. Maybe in 6-8 years when the game reaches end of life they may decide to add said option to allow players continued play once official servers shut down.

@kommodoreyenser well that speaks for itself if people choose to play private because it would be better of an experience for them then that just proves that the standard way of playing is not fun you kind of omitted to it yourself

No, what I admitted is that any smart player, given the option, would of course take loot with the lower amount of risk (or in your case zero) No experienced player goes hunting other ships to fight after stacking 500k-1 million worth of loot onboard. They turn-in in between sinking other crews for that exact reason.

Also, of course you don't have an issue with the AI enemies in this game, as I stated, they are SUPER easy. They are not meant to be the main attraction but a distraction/stalling mechanic until another crew comes along to interact with.

It's pointless they are just going to keep locking the posts and ignore them. And custom or private servers are not going to work since you will not be able to progress at all. Who wants to play and not earn anything. Also I do agree that who wants to play if all that happens is you get your items stolen and do not progress as well. Sell often don't run and emissary. I know is a slower approach but its the only choice they give us.

@wdw1011971 For real I think the only reason they mentioned them originally was to keep people from jumping ship..

Kinda like the deadbeat boyfriend promising to his girlfriend that this time he'll change.

He won't change, he just doesn't want them to leave.

The Devs have addressed the issue and explained their standpoint numerous times, that's the opposite of ignoring the topic.
