I might be risking some downvotes, but I need to get this off my chest. Recently, I decided to engage in a wager while tending to my helm duties, hoping to earn some much-needed pieces of eight. Little did I know, I was about to encounter a frustrating ordeal courtesy of an entire clan of “FS” players.
As soon as the wager commenced, this clan descended upon me like a pack of wolves, relentlessly spawn camping me to ensure one of their members could snatch the chest. Sure, I understand that PvP is an integral part of the game, but the sheer frustration of being constantly cornered by four fully-equipped max level brigs left me feeling helpless.
It’s clear to me that this is a flaw in the game’s design. There should be distinct options for group PvP and solo PvP to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players.
One solution could be to introduce wager options where players can choose the type of “lobby” they prefer, with rewards adjusted accordingly. For example:
For solo players:
- 1v1: x1.6 multiplier
- 1v1v1: x2 multiplier
- 4-way 1v1: 2.3 multiplier
For groups:
- 2v2v2
- 3v3v3
Additionally, if a player opens a 4-way 1v1 wager but only one other player joins, they should still receive the reward for a 1v1 match, ensuring flexibility and fairness.
Furthermore, to level the playing field and enhance the PvP experience:
- Provide players seeking to join a wager with a “fog of war” instead of revealing the exact position of the wagering player.
- Disable fast travel after joining a wager to prevent players from evading confrontation.
- Implement a 5-minute time ban on rejoining the same wager after leaving, discouraging players from repeatedly entering and exiting matches.
I believe these seemingly minor adjustments could significantly improve the PvP dynamics and alleviate the imbalance faced by solo players in wager encounters.
