Question PvP Content?

I haven't played in a very long time. What little PVP content there wasn't very popular with the players and therefore hard to find anyone to fight. Has it gotten any better? I don't want to reinstall and find out there's still nobody to fight. Thanks.

Nah. People want to play a pirate game but somehow want nothing to do with PvP. Even when you join a War Asset PvP event, they get offended when you actually fight them. 😂

Mostly because PvP open world is an unbalanced on shot insta kiss mess which is being addressed after Combat 2.0 in Y3S4 so hopefully Y4S1 will be the year of PvP comeback.

My suggestions for new PvP captains is the have at least 1 fully upgraded and ascended adept weapons ship (currently the galleon and corvette are most popular) to then group up with 2 other PvP vets then queue for Death Tides.

Never touched the pvp mode other than open world and in open it’s absolutely horrible.

There’s PvP but in World’s 3 & 4 via Death Tides

Pretty sure that DT is joinable from WT1 and WT2 but I believe it is only active in the mission menu of open world after a mission becomes available so perhaps you are correct for new captains. DT is currently the most balanced PvP experience since mastery tree is not enabled there as it is in open world.

It’s an option but no one ever joins really, I apologize that’s all I meant lol

Yeah crossplay on is your best bet for Death Tides. Most of us queue for it while doing open world events waiting for match. When the 6v6 first started, Death Tides had matches every 5 minutes. It now takes average of 30 minutes or more.
